高三（上）期中英语试卷
一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）
A
The editor of the new Cool Camping Britain guide chooses some of his favorite new finds in England，Wales and Scotland．
Cleadale，Isle of Eigg，Inner Hebrides
Is this Britain's most beautiful campsite？From the grassy point looking seaward to the mountains，it's not hard for campers to see how the island inspired The Lord of the Rings author's fantasy landscapes．The campsite itself is as wild and wonderful as its setting．Open April-September，from￡5per tent per night．
Swattesfield，Thornham Magna，Suffolk
Deep in the wilds of north Suffolk，this seven-acre campsite has only been open for a few years，with two fields separated by a lake and surrounded by woodland．The position is perfect．It's a great place to do nothing but get into nature．You can put up your tent in the bottom field or the woodland beyond．
Open Easter-October，from￡10per tent per night．
Pleasant Streams Farm，near St Austell，Cornwall
This site，by a lake，is all about simple pleasures．Located in the former mining village，it has a summerhouse（凉亭）with books and games for a rainy day．There are many animals including pigs，hens，goats and ducks on the farm and a pub just a 10-minute stroll away．There's very little to do here，no bells and no whistles．Campfires are encouraged．Open Easter-September，from￡10per tent per night．
Troytown Campsite，St Agnes，Isles of Sciily
Its only campsite，Troytown，couldn't be in a more remote position．Isolation is its greatest advantage-so bring plenty of books to read and don't expect a phone signal．But at least one of life's necessities is available．Lying on the hillside overlooking the bay and near the island of
the Gugh，it might just win the prize for best beer garden view in England．
Open March October，from￡7.50per tent per night，

Thirteen，for me，was a challenging year．My parents divorced and I moved to a new town with my father，far from my old family and friends．I was terribly lonely and would cry myself to sleep each night．To ease my sadness，my father purchased an old horse for me at a local auction．I named him Cowboy．
Cowboy was undoubtedly the ugliest horse in the world．But I didn't care．I loved him beyond all reason．
I joined a riding club and suffered rude comments and mean snickersabout Cowboy's looks．I never let on about how I felt，but deep inside，my heart was breaking．The other members rode beautiful，registered horses．
When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse is judged on appearance，we were quickly shown the gate．No amount of preparation and love would turn Cowboy into a beauty．My only chance to compete would be in the speed events．I chose the jumping race．One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events．She always won the blue ribbons．Needless to say，she didn't feel threatened when I competed against her at the next
show．She didn't need to．I came in next to last．
The stinging memory of Becky's smirks（得意的笑）made me determined to beat her．For the whole next month I woke up early every day and rode Cowboy five miles to the arena．We practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home totally exhausted．
All of our hard work didn't make me feel confident by the time the show came．I sat at the gate and sweated it out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the course and finish in first place．
My turn finally came．I put on my hat，rubbed Cowboy's neck and entered the arena．At the signal，we dashed toward the first fence，jumped it without trouble and raced on to the next one．Cowboy then flew over the second，third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line．
As we crossed the line the crowd was shocked into silence．Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds!
I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day．At thirteen，I realized that no matter what the odds，I'd always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it．4.The underlined expression "shown the gate" （paragraph 4）most probably means "
______ "．
A. told how to enter the arena
B. shown how to make the horse beautiful
C. removed from the competition early
D. told to enter the timed-speed events
5.Why was the writer not confident of victory？______
A. He was an inexperienced rider．
B. He believed he was unpopular with the crowd．
C. He had not practiced enough．
D. He thought his horse wasn't as good as the others．
6.What did the writer learn from his experience？______
A. Life can sometimes be unfair．
B. Anything is possible if one tries hard enough．
C. A positive attitude will bring success．
D. One should not make judgments based on appearance．
7.The best title for the story is ______ ．
A. A Run to Remember
B. A Horse's Tale
C. Neck and Neck
D. A Difficult Age
C
What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop？The products displayed at the entrance？Or the soft background music？
But have you ever notice the smell？Unless it is bad，the answer is likely to be no．But while a shop's scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds，it is certainly there．And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase．A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance，via scent machines．A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air．One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores，customers' intention to purchase increased by 80 percent．When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs，scent is just as important to a brand's success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales．That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be．
Some years ago，the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants' disproving attitude and don't-touch-what-you-can't-afford displays．Now the rise of electronic commerce （e-commerce）has opened up famous brands to a wider audience．But while
e-shops can use sights and sounds，only bricks-and-mortar stores （实体店）can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave．Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop，but rather a destination．And scent is just one way to achieve this．
Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department，and coconut scent in the swimsuit section．A department store has even opened a new lab，inviting customers on a journey into the store's windows to smell books，pots and drawers，in search of their perfect scent．
8.According to the passage，what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some
brand store？______
A. Friendly assistant．
B. Unique scents．
C. Soft background music
D. Attractive window display．
9.E-shops are mentioned in the passage to ______ ．
A. show the advantages of brick-and-mortar stores
B. urge shop assistants to change their attitude
C. push stores to use sights and sounds
D. introduce the rise of e-commerce
10.The underlined word "destination" in Paragraph 5 means ______ ．
A. a platform that exhibits goods
B. a spot where travelers like to stay
C. a place where customers love to go
D. a target that a store expects to meet
11.The main purpose of the passage is to ______ ．
A. compare and evaluate
B. examine and assess
C. argue and discuss
D. inform and explain
D
Natural selection is the process by which one type of animal within a species thrives because of certain characteristics that make it more likely to live than others in its group．The history of the peppered moth（灰蛾）is an example of the natural selection process．
In 19th century England，certain types of peppered moths were able to better blend（融合）into their surroundings．During that time period，great changes were happening in Great Britain．The Industrial Revolution was part of this change，and with it came air pollution．Natural selection often takes hundred or even thousands of years to occur．For the peppered moth，this process occurred comparatively quickly．
At the beginning of the Industrial Age，most peppered moths in England were light-colored and covered with black markings，although a few moths had dark-colored wings．Because the light-colored moths blended into the light-colored bark on the trees，they could not be easily seen by birds that would eat them．As the air grew more polluted，however，tree trunks became covered with soot（烟煤）and became darker．The light-colored moths became easy for birds to see against the dark tree trunks．Since the dark-colored moths now had the advantage，their numbers grew．Within 50 years，the peppered moth went from being mostly light-colored to being mostly dark-colored．
In the 20th century，the air cleared up，and the peppered moth population changed again．As tree trunks lighted due to less soot in the air，light-colored moths once again had an
advantage．Their numbers increased as soot levels declined．Depending on their environment，the coloration of the moths helped them to be "naturally selected" to survive．
12.In 19th century，what was one of the causes of great changes in Great Britain？______
A. The surroundings．
B. The Industrial Revolution．
C. The natural selection．
D. The peppered moth．
13.What can we infer about the peppered moth's natural selection process？______
A. The length of time was unusual．
B. The soot levels in England did not affect it．
C. The color of peppered moths changed at random．
D. It was a good example of environmental protection．
14.What's the difference between light-colored and dark-colored moths？______
A. Dark-colored moths were originally easy to see on trees．
B. Both kinds of moths preferred the dark-colored trees．
C. Birds failed to see light-colored moths．
D. The color of moths was unimportant．
15.Which would most likely happen if soot darkened England's trees again？______
A. Birds would eat fewer moths．
B. Moths would not be able to stay alive．
C. Light-colored moths would disturb people's life．
D. The population of dark-colored moths would increase．

41.【答案】【小题1】popularity
【小题2】parts
【小题3】valuable
【小题4】is referred
【小题5】bought
【小题6】when
【小题7】further
【小题8】a
【小题9】as
【小题10】making
【解析】1．popularity．考查词形转换．空前是形容词，且形容词前是形容词性物主代词its，后面应接 popular的名词形式．popularity"受欢迎"．
2． parts．考查名词复数．空处无限定词修饰，且part"区域，地区"为可数名词，故填parts．
3． valuable．考查词形转换．根据空前的the "Ancient Tea Horse Road" is no less 和空后的出 than可知空处应填形容词．根据话境可知．此处表小茶马古道的重要性井不低于丝绸之路．故填value的形容词valuable"很重要的"．
4． is rferred．考查动词时态和语态．此处描述的是现在的客观情况，应该用一般现在时，主语与refer to之间是被动关系，故要用被动语态．注意：refer的过去式和过去分同应双写r，再加ed．
5． bought．考查非谓语动词．动词buy与前面的名词products构成逻辑上的动宾关系，故应用过去分词形式作后置定语，表示被动．注意：and后的sold也是暗示．
6． when．考查非限制性定语从句．when为关系副词，在此引导非限制性定语从句，修饰前面表示时间的先行词the Tang dynasty，并在从句中作时间状语．
7． further．考查副词比较级．根据语境可知，此处说的是茶马古道的进一步发展情况，而 far的比较级有两种形式frher和frther在指距离的远近时，两者都可用，但是当用来表示"进一步"的意义时，只能用further．
8．a．考查冠词．根据语境可知此处说的是直到清代为止，茶马古道都是一条全年繁忙的贸易路线．此处表泛指，又busy的发音以辅音音素开头，故填不定冠词a．9．as．考查介词．serve as sth"可用作，可当…使"．故填介词as． as表示"作为"．
10． making．考查非谓语动词．分析句子结构可知此处的非谓语动词短语作结果状语，表示自然而然的结果，故用现在分词making．
本文是一篇说明文．茶马古道是指存在于中国西南地区的民间国际商贸通道，是中国西南民族经济文化交流的走廊，也是早期沟通中国西南地区和亚欧商贸的重要通道．
