安徽省舒城县2016-2017学年高一英语上学期研究性学习材料试题(二)(无答案)
安徽省舒城县2016-2017学年高一英语上学期研究性学习材料试题(二)(无答案)第一部分阅读理解(共两节满分40)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AChristopher Reeve(1952-2004) was an American actor, famous for his film character of Superman.Reeve was born in New York City and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1974, after which he was selected to study at Juilliard School of Performing Arts under John Houseman.Reeve worked on the stage, as well as on the soap opera Love of Life, until he was selected to play the role of the Superman in 1978. this film was a great success and inspired three sequels(续集). Ironically(讽刺的是), this was the kind of part Reeve usually looked down upon. He was stage actor at heart who preferred doing classical period plays and films that really requi red him to “act”. He once said, “I want to challenge myself in my roles, not run around on screen with a machine gun.”In 1980, Reeve started in Somewhere in Time, a time travel romance. Although this film was not popular at the time it was released(公映), it has since enjoyed a nationwide “cult” following, especially among college students in 1984, Reeve won critical cheers for his role as a 19th century southern lawyer in The Bostonians.On May 27,1995, Reeve was paralysed(瘫痪) from the neck down after being thrown from his horse, and largely retired from the production of films after his paralysis. With his wife Dana, he opened the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center, devoted to teaching paralysed people to live more independently.1. According to the passage, we can get the conclusion that the play Love of Life ___.A. gained a great successB. changed Reeve’s life completelyC. is just a relaxation for most audienceD. talks about serious political problems2 The underlined part in the third paragraph shows that Reeve ______.A. enjoyed different kinds roles related to high technologyB. did not like to play the role of the Superman because of the dangerC. was an ambitious actor who intended to play all kinds of charactersD. was a peace-loving man, who hates weapons and all the military actions3. The word “cult” in the fourth paragraph probably means _____.A. popular fashionB. lovely and interestingC. of the present timeD. bad-tempered dog4. On May 27, 1995, Reeve _____.A. acted out the role of a lawyer in The BostoniansB. fell down during the horse-riding and became paralysedC. won critical cheers for his performance in Somewhere in TimeD. opened the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource CenterBLike many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship(崇拜). At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite(尽管)great differences in cultures heroes around the world generally share a umber of characteristics that instruct(教育) and inspire people. A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure(冒险) to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond only fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers(变压器), heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.He hero lives a life worthy of imitation(效仿). Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth enthusiasm(热情), and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom they serve and what they are willing to live and die for. If the answer or evidence(证据) suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant(充实的)? Heroes are catalysts(催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm(魅力) to move the masses(群众). They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. , we might still have segregated(隔离的) buses, restaurants and parks. It may be possible for large scale(范围) change to happen without leaders with magnetic(有魅力的) personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.5. Although heroes may come from different cultures, they ____.A. generally have certain inspiring characteristicsB. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary peopleC. are often influenced by previous generationsD. all unknowingly attract a large number of fans6. The author concludes that historical changes would ______.A. be delayed(推迟) without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesB. not happen without heroes making he necessary sacrifices(牺牲)C. take place if here were heroes to lead the peopleD. produce leaders with attractive personalities7. According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers inthat ______.A. they have a vision from the mountaintopB. they have warm feelings and emotions (情感)C. they can serve as concrete examples of noble principlesD. they can make people feel stronger and more confidentCThe older I get, the more I value friends, yet the less time, energy and enthusiasm(热情) I have in maintaining(维持) old friendships and building up new ones.Sunny, one of my dearest friends at work, will leave the office next month for a better job. He is not my first friend from the office to say goodbye. Over the years, there have been a handful of workmates who became friends. In recent times, at least three others have also left. So, next month, I'll say goodbye to Sunny and I am left with one friend fewer at work. When Sunny told me that he was leaving, I sighed: "With you gone, I will have hardly any friends left in the office!"I began to think: At what point does a workmate become a friend? And, to takea step back, what does "friendship" mean? Indeed, what makes you form a friendship with a person, but not some other? If a friend is a person I feel completely comfortable calling up at 3 am to get me out of trouble-as Sunny will do-then I don't have that many friends. Other than family members, I can depend on just one female friend and three, at best four, male friends. But then, maybe that's plenty. As someone said, one friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardly possible.Friendships are different from relationships. You can be great friends with your partner, of course, but a relationship is so much more complex(复杂). It is not only about that wonderful feeling called love, but also a collection of emotions like jealousy, resentment(不满), anger, pain and despair(绝望). Friendship is simpler and fills you, mostly, with positive emotions-kindness, fondness, warmth and honesty. With a lover, you make demands and have expectations. But with a friend, you're cool. You don't really owe him anything, or have to explain much, because you demand nothingmore from each other than pleasant company(陪伴) and an occasional listening ear.Love, I read somewhere, is blind, but friendship closes its eyes. How true.8. Recently, _____ have left the office.A. 3 of my workmatesB. 4 of my workmatesC. all of my friendsD. at least three of my friends9. The write tells us that friendship and relationship are _____.A. quite differentB. exactly the sameC. more or less the sameD. not there in fact10. By citing(引用) "One friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardlypossible.", the writer implies "_____".A. a true friend is hard to findB. so many friends willbring you troubleC. it's impossible to have three friendsD. making too manyfriends is no good for you11. By writing this passage, the writer wants to tell us _____.A. one of his friends will say goodbye to himB. you may make friends with your workmatesC. friendship is very precious (珍贵)D. the difference between friendship and relationshipDThe older I get, the more I value friends, yet the less time, energy and enthusiasm(热情) I haveBusinesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers’ desire to go green . However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s environm ental reputation was not good enough.Harry Morrison, chief executive(主管)of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes:“I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking—we don’t have much tim e. Inaddition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand. ”Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions(排放). Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. “When companies are granted(授予)the standard, they can use a logo(标识)in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,”Mr. Morrison said.12.What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.B. Companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions.C. Firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home.D. Firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers’ environmental awareness.13.The underlined word“inform”in Paragraph 2 probably means“”A. affectB. changeC. disturbD.reject14.According to Harry Morrison, businesses .A. will benefit from cutting carbon emissionsB. should buy carbon allowances for shoppersC. are required to make up for their carbon emissionsD. have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere15.We can learn from the passage that businesses will .A. have a strong desire to reduce costsB. use the same logo in their marketingC. gain advantages by taking early actionD. attract more shoppers by storing goods第二节(共5小题;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处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

安徽省舒城中学2024-2025学年高一上学期入学检测英语试题
安徽省舒城中学2024-2025学年高一上学期入学检测英语试题一、阅读理解Books to take with you on vacationYou can either travel or read, but either your body or soul must be on the way. The popular saying has inspired many people to read or go sightseeing. Traveling, just like reading, is a refreshing journey, a temporary escape from the bustling (热闹的) world. Here are some books we recommend that you take on your trip.1.The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, 2013, by Rachel JoyceThe novel tells a story of a 60- year- old man who lives a boring and unhappy life, until one day, he received his old friend’s letter who got cancer. In deep shock and sorrow, he went out to send his reply letter. By thinking of his life, he walked past one mailbox after another, and finally walked from the Southwest end to the Northeast end of England. 627 miles in 87 days, he walks depending on one belief that “his friend can survive as long as he walks”.2.On the Road,1957, by Jack KerouacThe book is a globally popular spiritual guide book about youth. The hero drives across the US continent with several young people and finally reaches Mexico. After the exhausting and exciting trip, the characters in the book start to believe in Oriental (东方的) Zen Buddhism.3.The Stories of the Sahara,1976, by SanmaoThe book describes the author’s simple but adventurous life in the Sahara Desert. The exotic natural scenery and life there, along with the author’s love story with her beloved husband will inspire you to explore the mysterious land and think about your own life.

It all began with a simple game she programmed in her Los Angeles public school’s Grade 2class. Today , at18, the Grade 12 student’s initial curiosity has evolved into a deep-seated desire to use technology to decode (解码) real-world problems.In 2021, she co-developed Megaphone, one of her first apps, to tackle unanswered post-class questions and poor communication about events and announcements. Her problem-solving ability kept building from there.When she took online CPR classes at the start of the pandemic, she figured it couldn’t be just her who was struggling with the steps. So she created an app called CPR Buddy ― a winner in the 2022 Apple Swift Challenge ― which guides users through CPR using vibrations (震动) to regulate breath. After winning the award, Angelina presented her work to Apple CEO Tim Cook, a highlight in her young career, but one she didn’t lose her cool over. “There’s no point putting people on a pedestal (神坛),” she says.The next year, Angelina built an app called Lilac, designed to assist nonEnglish-speaking single parents with resources for housing, job opportunities and translation support. She was inspired by her own experiences as a child of a single mother who immigrated to the US.When Angelina decided to pursue pilot training at the age of 16, she was struck by how difficult it was to find financial support, which encouraged her to create yet another app, Pilot Fast Track, which helps those longing to be pilots find scholarships for flight training.Looking to the future, besides applying to colleges with great labs, Angelina is exploring the field of aerospace cybersecurity and mechatronics ― combining computer science, electricalengineering and mechanical engineering.“There’s not enough optimism in the world,“ she says. “I have also been in situations in my life where I’ve lost a lot of hope. But in the end, it is a mindset, and there are ways in any situation you’re in to make it somewhat better.”5.What is Angelina’s pursuit?A.To design games for kids.B.To stimulate teen’s curiosity.C.To address problems through technology.D.To find innovative approaches to digital challenges.6.What can we learn about Angelina from Paragraph 3?A.She couldn’t breathe regularly.B.She was inspired by celebrities.C.She replaced CPR with an app.D.She was humble about her success. 7.What was the primary goal of developing Pilot Fast Track?A.To direct pilots’ career paths.B.To help to-be pilots find funds.C.To pair future pilots with airlines.D.To evaluate pilot training schools.8.What might be the best title?A.Breaking the code B.Bearing growing painsC.Facing life as it is D.Following role modelsNowadays most kids live on their digital devices. Some data show that the social media could play a role in their mental health — something that has been on the decrease among teens and tweens. But how big a role it plays also appears to depend on how kids choose to use it.In recent years, the internet has done some great things. It’s brought people closer together. It’s helped people form big communities in the world. And it can be an important place for people to find support and connection.But some adolescents (青少年) can be exposed to something harmful. For example, one 2022 survey found that nearly half of all teens have been cyberbullied (网络欺凌) online. The same survey found that nearly two in every three adolescents experienced hate-based content onsocial media.Social media is also a space where people are repeatedly comparing themselves to others. Am I pretty enough? Strong enough? One study of kids 13 to 17 years old found that almost half reported that time spent on social media made them feel worse about their bodies. Only about one in every seven said viewing social media made them feel better.“It’s hard to study the influence of social media on mental health,” Whitlock, a research psychologist studying internet use by adolescents, explains, “because everyone uses it.” There’s no large group of others to which researchers can compare them. Still, one study of nearly 6,600 U.S. teens linked use of social media to depression, anxiety and a poor body image.There’s still not enough evidence to say social media is safe for kids, but there was plenty of evidence to warn kids that they should take care when using it. The takeaway, Whitlock says, is that social media use needs to be intentional (有意的). By that, she means “used for some purposeful goal”, not just to pass the time.9.What use of the internet does paragraph 2 mainly focus on?A.Job hunting.B.Online shopping.C.Home schooling.D.Social networking.10.Why can teens be negatively affected in their mental health by using social media?A.They are so busy with online surveys as not to get relaxed.B.They are very likely to suffer from cyberbullying online.C.They are always compared in looks and strength.D.They are too young to deal with stress properly.11.According to Whitlock, what is the challenge for researchers?A.Not enough comparisons.B.Improper research designs.C.Too many internet users.D.Limited study periods.12.What advice is given to kids on the use of social media?A.Use it carefully, since it is linked to both good and harm.B.Try not to use it, considering the risk it may cause.C.Use it however you want, as long as there is a purpose.D.Don’t use it to kill time but for some real purpose.Bing, also known as a Chinese pancake, is a traditional Chinese recipe, similar to pancakes. It is commonly made of dough (面团). 13 , be prepared to learn how to make these yummy recipes!Step 1: Combine the ingredientsCombine the ingredients for the dough (flour, salt, and cooking oil). Knead (揉) the dough until it has a soft consistency that isn’t too wet. During this time, you can adjust the consistency, for example, by adding more oil or flour. 14 .Step 2: Separate the doughSeparate the dough into different pieces, the size that you want. 15 , don’t separate it too much, and vice versa. You can use a rolling pin to help with making a circle. Chinese Pancake is commonly made in a circle shape, but can be any shape you want!Step 3: Add spring onionsAdd spring onions to the dough. 16 and sprinkle them on the bing. This gives the flavor for the cong you bing. The name “cong” in cong you bing actually refers to the spring onions. These can also be called scallions, green onions, and onions. You can also knead the dough again to mix the onion in.Step 4: Fry both sidesFry both sides of the pancake on low-medium heat until the sides are golden brown. It takes 3-5 minutes per side. Remember to take it out before the sides get dark brown. Fry for a short time if you want a soft pancake, and fry it for a longer time to make it crispier.Step 5: Serve and enjoy!17 , but can be served in formal meals as well.A.Divide it into ten equal piecesB.Cut the onions into tiny piecesC.It can be eaten as a casual foodD.Make sure you have enough doughE.If this is already mouthwatering to youF.If you want to make the pancake biggerG.Heat up the pan while still working on the dough二、完形填空During a trip to San Diego, my husband Dan and I came across two stars, Gracie and Billy, at the Bahia Resort Hotel. Gracie and Billy were actually two harbor 18 . I later learned Gracie had a severe visual disability and Billy was 19 . Despite their limitations, they lived joyfully, playing and moving gracefully in their pool.

高一英语上学期研究性学习材料试题三
舒城县2021-2021学年高一英语上学期研究性学习材料试题〔三〕〔无答案〕第一局部阅读理解〔一共20小题;每一小题2分,满分是40分〕第一节〔一共15小题;每一小题2分,满分是30分〕阅读以下短文,从每一小题所给的四个选项里面选出最正确选项AOur planet was born some billions of years ago. Ever since this planet has developed, it has surprised us human beings. No matter how much we human beings have developed technologically, we cannot ever create this kind of natural planet. The human race can only discover some amazing facts about it. Let us find out what some of themare.On September 13, 1922 El Azizia, a place in Libya, recorded a temperature of 136 degrees Fahrenheit. This was the highest temperature ever measured (测量) on the planet Earth. The highest waterfall in the world is Angel Falls in Venezuela, which drops from an amazing height of 3,212 feet. The waterfall drops over the edge of Auyantepui in the Canaima National Park. The gravitational pull (万有引力) of the Earth can be escaped if someone moves at a speed of 6.95 miles per second. At such a speed, one could travel from New York to Philadelphia in just 20 seconds. If the entire water in the world’s oceans evaporated, the salt we got from these oceans could cover the entire planet with a 500-foot deep layer of salt. The deepestlake on Earth is Lake Baikal in Russia. Lake Baikal is the largest freshwater lake in the world, containing about 20% of the world’s unfrozen surface fresh water. The Andes in South America spreads over 4,525 miles. This is the longest mountain range (山脉) in the world.Did you know that the biggest valley in the world is the Grand Valley in Mesa County, Colorado and Grand County, Utah? It is about 30 miles (48 km) long and 5 miles (8 km) wide, along the Colorado River. The amazing facts about the earth are too many to be told completely above.1. The underlin ed word “evaporated〞in Paragraph 2 most probably means“_____〞.A. became salt graduallyB. became clear slowlyC. changed into warmer waterD. changed into gas or disappeared2. Where is the longest mountain range in the world?A. In Russia.B. In Libya.C. In South America.D. At the Oregon-Idaho border.3.We can learn from this passage that _____.A. Lake Baikal is the biggest lake in the worldB. the highest temperature ever measured was 136 ℃C. the Angel Falls drops from a height of 3,212 metersD. one end of the Grand Valley is in Colorado and the other in UtahBThis is an open letter to the three people who stole my handbag from the department store where I am employed as a shop assistant.When you took my bag, I don't know what you thought you were going to get. With my wages, there's not much left on a Tuesday. I hope the £5 was useful to you .I have informed the social security office so you won't be able to cash the child benefit next week. I hope that won't leave you too short. But if you really need a couple of pounds, I suppose you could always cash one of the two checks left in my check book. Of course,I phoned the bank right away and the check-casing card is no longer valid, so it won’t be much use to you.Actually I don't mind about the money too much. We single parents who work to support our families understand only too well what it means to be short of cash. However, I don’t suppose it went very far among the three of you. Sorry about that!I wish you had left the bag behind and just taken the wallet and check book. There were all kinds of papers in it, and notes and things that I really need. I really think that was very inconsiderate of you. I mean, how would you like something like that to happen to you?Well, perhaps the bag will turn up. It wasn't even an expensive one, just a plain, old brown leather shoulder bag. You probably dumped it in the nearest rubbish bin or threw it into the bushes. We've looked around, of course, but no one saw which way you went after you left the shop.I'm not really angry with you. I know how the pressures of modern living can affect us, but I am sad at the loss of my personal things. I feel violated and helpless. The police were very icy, and they just shruggedtheir shoulders. "It happens all the time," they told me. Some small comfort, I suppose. But I've lost just a littlemore faith in human nature. And as my young son said when I told him what had happened, "Why? Mummy, why us?" I couldn't answer that question. I wonder if you can.4.In writing Paragraph 2, the writer wants to .A. describe the contents of the bag in detail.B. give some suggestions to the three thievesC. tell the thieves hardly any money was availableD. state the fact that she was careless with the money5.Which of the following is the most valuable to the writer?A. The cash in her bagB. The papers and notes in the bagC. The handbag itselfD. The check books in the bag舒中高一英语第2页(一共8页)6.What can we conclude about the police?A. They have doubts about human natureB. They show sympathy for the womanC. They think the case quite commonD. They are unable to find the thieves7.Why does the author write the letter?A. To give the thieves a serious warningB. To complain about the fall of moralityC. To call people’s attention to their belongingsD. To express her affection for her valuable bagCParents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests they both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.“I would never have said to my mom, ‘Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?’〞says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.〞Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits(轨道).Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. And parent—child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. “There’s still a lot of strictness and authority(权威) on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,〞 says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. “In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.〞Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these changing roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic(民主的) process that encourages everyoneto have a say.“My parents were on the ‘before’ side of that change, but today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘after’ side,〞explains Mr. Ballmer. “It’s not something easily achieved by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.〞8. The underli ned word “gulf〞 in Para.3 most probably means _________.A. distanceB.interest C. similarity D. cooperation9. The change in today’s parent-child relationship is _________.A. more confusion among children.B. less respect for parents from children.C. new equality between parents and children.D. more strictness and authority on the part of parents.10. By saying “today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘after’ side.〞the author means that today’s parents _________.A. can set a limit to the change.B. follow the trend of the change.C. fail to take the change seriously.D. have little difficulty adjusting(适应)to the change.11. The purpose of the passage is to _________.A. describe the difficultie s today’s parents have met with.B. discuss the development of the parent—child relationship.C. suggest the ways to handle the parent—child relationship.D. compare today’s parent—child relationship with that in the past.DLONDON: What could possibly be wrong with planting trees? The benefits are obvious; they firm the soil, soak up (摄取) extra water and take carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) our of the atmosphere.However, it now turns out that planting trees could add to global warming.Tree roots do a great job of keeping soil firmly on the ground and out of the wind’s power. The problem is that some of those dust clouds play an important part in soaking up carbon dioxide.Huge dust storms blow out over the oceans from dry parts of North Africa and central Asia. Tons of dust are lifted and left as a thin film over the ocean surface. The dust fuels oceanic life.Dust from China is carried east and left in the Pacific Ocean. If a tree-planting program there is successful and the dust supply reduced, the net result may be that less carbon dioxide gets locked away in the ocean.Andy Ridgwell, an environmental scientist from the University of East Anglia, has spent the past few years studying dust and says his work “shows clearly the complexity of the system and the importance of not tinkering(粗劣地修补) with it without understanding the results. For this reason the need is to focus(集中) on cutting carbon dioxide giving off rather than monkeying (瞎弄) about with the landsurface.〞An American scientist, Robert Jackson, has shown that when native grassland areas are invaded(侵入) by trees, carbon is lost from the soil. “We are studying why the soil carbon disappears, but one theory is that trees do a lot more of their growing舒中高一英语第4页(一共8页)above ground compared to grasses, so less carbon goes directly into the soil from trees, 〞 says Jackson.In wet areas of the world, the gain from trees absorbing carbon dioxide above ground seems to be outweighed(超过) by the loss of carbon from the soil below ground. Countries that plan to combatglobal warming by planting trees may have to think again.Solutions to environmental problems are often more complex than they first appear, and understanding the Earth’s climate is a very great challenge.12.People usually hold the opinion that .A.huge dust storms can destroy carbon dioxideB.huge dust storms can destroy the oceans on the earthC.huge dust storms can’t do anything beneficial for manD.planting trees is the only way to control huge dust storms 13.Andy Ridgwell, the environmental scientist, believes that .A.dust plays a more important part than treesB.trees shouldn’t have been planted in dry placesC.carbon dioxide is harmful to everything on the earthD.environmental problems are more complex than expected14.Robert Jackson’s experiment proves that.A.grassland areas should be covered by forestsB.trees hold more carbon than grassesC.carbon can turn grass into dustD.less carbon can make trees grow faster15.The underlined word “combat〞 in the last paragraph means .A.learn about B.fightagainst C.live with D.give up第二节〔一共五小题,每一小题2分,一共10分〕根据短文内容,从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

安徽省舒城县2020学年高一英语上学期研究性学习材料试题(一)(无答案)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。
AWhen asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, cloth and cars.A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the r esult can be what you don’t want an end to the relationship.The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong –even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wro ng. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honorand a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.1. What is the main idea of the text?A. Easy Ways to Make FriendsB. Ups and Downs in FriendshipC. How to Mend a Troubled FriendshipD. How to Take the Lead in Making Friends2. The “wronged person” underlined in the text refers to a person_________ .A. who has been mistaken for anotherB. who has been blamed unfairlyC. who has treated friends badlyD. who has admitted his mistakes3. According to the text a friendship can last long only if _________.A. we have much in commonB. we know our friends’ mistakesC. we treat our disagreements wiselyD. we have know one another for long4. What should we do if we follow the author’s second suggestion?A. Stick to our own prints of viewB. Avoid making mistakesC. Make an apology firstD. Change our lifestylesBAsk a bachelor(单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing (显著的) features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep ora three-day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates (释放) time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car o r those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.5. According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because ________ .A. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleB. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilitiesC. he finds more fun in dating than in marriageD. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement6. Raising children, in the author’s opinion is ________ .A. a rewarding taskB. a funny jobC. a thankless jobD. a source of inevitable pain7. From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from (起源于) ________ .A. hatredB.ignoranceC. prejudiceD. misunderstanding8. To understand what true happiness is one must ________ .A. have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetimeB. make every effort to liberate oneself from painC. be able to distinguish happiness from funD. put up with pain under all circumstancesCWelcome to the Kampala Beach Hotel Reservations(预定)System.

A textbookB. A magazineC. The InternetD. A newspaperDHow words came into being is unknown. All we assume(推测)is that some early men invented certain sounds, in one way or another, to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could talk with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be put together to show those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up to our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we tire, the more certain words bring back to us the happyand sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings. This clever use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can express his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears, We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech silly and common.13. We learn from the text that language might have begun withA. expressionsB. actionsC. signsD. sounds14.What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?A. The learning of new words.B. The importance of old wordsC. The relation of human experience with words.D. The gradual change and development of words.15. In the last paragraph, what does the author suggest that we should do?A. Use words skillfully.B. Make musical speechesC. Learn poems by heart.D. Associate with listeners.第二节(共5小题: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处的最佳选项。

安徽省舒城县2020学年高一英语上学期研究性学习材料试题(二)(无答案)第一部分阅读理解(共两节满分40)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AChristopher Reeve(1952-2020) was an American actor, famous for his film character of Superman.Reeve was born in New York City and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1974, after which he was selected to study at Juilliard School of Performing Arts under John Houseman.Reeve worked on the stage, as well as on the soap opera Love of Life, until he was selected to play the role of the Superman in 1978. this film was a great success and inspired three sequels(续集). Ironically(讽刺的是), this was the kind of part Reeve usually looked down upon. He was stage actor at heart who preferred doing classical period plays and films that really required h im to “act”. He once said, “I want to challenge myself in my roles, not run around on screen with a machine gun.”In 1980, Reeve started in Somewhere in Time, a time travel romance. Although this film was not popular at the time it was released(公映), it has since enjoyed a nationwide “cult” following, especially among college students in 1984, Reeve won critical cheers for his role as a 19th century southern lawyer in The Bostonians.On May 27,1995, Reeve was paralysed(瘫痪) from the neck down after being thrown from his horse, and largely retired from the production of films afterhis paralysis. With his wife Dana, he opened the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center, devoted to teaching paralysed people to live more independently.1. According to the passage, we can get the conclusion that the play Love of Life ___.A. gained a great successB. changed Reeve’s life completelyC. is just a relaxation for most audienceD. talks about serious political problems2 The underlined part in the third paragraph shows that Reeve ______.A. enjoyed different kinds roles related to high technologyB. did not like to play the role of the Superman because of the dangerC. was an ambitious actor who intended to play all kinds of charactersD. was a peace-loving man, who hates weapons and all the military actions3. The word “cult” in the fourth paragraph probably means _____.A. popular fashionB. lovely and interestingC. of the present timeD. bad-tempered dog4. On May 27, 1995, Reeve _____.A. acted out the role of a lawyer in The BostoniansB. fell down during the horse-riding and became paralysedC. won critical cheers for his performance in Somewhere in TimeD. opened the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource CenterBLike many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship(崇拜). At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite(尽管)great differences in cultures heroes around the worldgenerally share a umber of characteristics that instruct(教育) and inspire people. A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure(冒险) to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond only fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers(变压器), heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.He hero lives a life worthy of imitation(效仿). Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth enthusiasm(热情), and meaning.A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom they serve and what they are willing to live and die for. If the answer or evidence(证据) suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant(充实的)? Heroes are catalysts(催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm(魅力) to move the masses(群众). They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. , we might still have segregated(隔离的) buses, restaurants and parks. It may be possible for large scale(范围) change to happen without leaders with magnetic(有魅力的) personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.5. Although heroes may come from different cultures, they ____.A. generally have certain inspiring characteristicsB. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary peopleC. are often influenced by previous generationsD. all unknowingly attract a large number of fans6. The author concludes that historical changes would ______.A. be delayed(推迟) without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesB. not happen without heroes making he necessary sacrifices(牺牲)C. take place if here were heroes to lead the peopleD. produce leaders with attractive personalities7. According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformersin that ______.A. they have a vision from the mountaintopB. they have warm feelings and emotions (情感)C. they can serve as concrete examples of noble principlesD. they can make people feel stronger and more confidentCThe older I get, the more I value friends, yet the less time, energy and enthusiasm(热情) I have in maintaining(维持) old friendships and building up new ones.Sunny, one of my dearest friends at work, will leave the office next month for a better job. He is not my first friend from the office to say goodbye. Over the years, there have been a handful of workmates who became friends. In recent times, at least three others have also left. So, next month, I'll say goodbye to Sunny and I am left with one friend fewer at work. When Sunny told me that he was leaving, I sighed: "With you gone, I will have hardly any friends left in the office!"I began to think: At what point does a workmate become a friend? And, to take a step back, what does "friendship" mean? Indeed, what makes you form a friendship with a person, but not some other? If a friend is a person I feel completely comfortable calling up at 3 am to get me out of trouble-as Sunny will do-then I don't have that many friends. Other than family members, I can depend on just one female friend and three, at best four, male friends.But then, maybe that's plenty. As someone said, one friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardly possible.Friendships are different from relationships. You can be great friends with your partner, of course, but a relationship is so much more complex(复杂). It is not only about that wonderful feeling called love, but also a collection of emotions like jealousy, resentment(不满), anger, pain and despair(绝望). Friendship is simpler and fills you, mostly, with positive emotions-kindness, fondness, warmth and honesty. With a lover, you make demands and have expectations. But with a friend, you're cool. You don't really owe him anything, or have to explain much, because you demand nothing more from each other than pleasant company(陪伴) and an occasional listening ear.Love, I read somewhere, is blind, but friendship closes its eyes. How true.8. Recently, _____ have left the office.A. 3 of my workmatesB. 4 of my workmatesC. all of my friendsD. at least three of my friends9. The write tells us that friendship and relationship are _____.A. quite differentB. exactly the sameC. more or less the sameD. not there in fact10. By citing(引用) "One friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, threeare hardly possible.", the writer implies "_____".A. a true friend is hard to findB. so many friends willbring you troubleC. it's impossible to have three friendsD. making too manyfriends is no good for you11. By writing this passage, the writer wants to tell us _____.A. one of his friends will say goodbye to himB. you may make friends with your workmatesC. friendship is very precious (珍贵)D. the difference between friendship and relationshipDThe older I get, the more I value friends, yet the less time, energy and enthusiasm(热情) I haveBusinesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers’ desire to go green . However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s environmental reputation was not good enough.Harry Morrison, chief executive(主管)of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes:“I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking—we don’t have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-te rm benefit for the brand. ”Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbonallowances to make up for their emissions(排放). Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. “When companies are granted(授予)the standard, they can use a logo(标识)in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,”Mr. Morrison said. 12.What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.B. Companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions.C. Firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home.D. Firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers’ environmental awareness.13.The underlined word“inform”in Paragraph 2 probably means“”A. affectB. changeC. disturbD. reject14.According to Harry Morrison, businesses .A. will benefit from cutting carbon emissionsB. should buy carbon allowances for shoppersC. are required to make up for their carbon emissionsD. have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere15.We can learn from the passage that businesses will .A. have a strong desire to reduce costsB. use the same logo in their marketingC. gain advantages by taking early actionD. attract more shoppers by storing goods第二节(共5小题;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处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

ACan dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new secret of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly likely that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasn't all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals attacking, while a dog doing the same signals giving in.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other's language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog”,and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”.What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to developtheir intelligence. They can learn to read each other's body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously thought. Once familiar with each other's presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.The meaning of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets—to people who don't get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.1. The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .A. earlyB. quicklyC. sweetlyD.舒中高一英语第1页(共8页)violently2. Some cats and dogs may fight when .A. they are cold to each otherB. they look away from each otherC. they are introduced at an early ageD. they misunderstand each other's signals3. It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs .A. have common interestsB. are less different than what we thoughtC. have a common body languageD. are less intelligent than what we expected4. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A. We should learn to live in harmony.B. We should know more about animals.C. We should live in peace with animals.D. We should learn more body languages.BThe writer Margaret Mitchell is best known for writing Gone with the Wind, first published in 1936. Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing(创作) the story and learn more about her life.Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer’s life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as “would you really marry a woman who works?” And today it’d be “would you marry one who doesn’t?”The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump”.Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he brought her typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for thebook. In 1939 the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.5. The underlined phrase “tower over” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _________?A. be very pleased withB. be much taller thanC. show great respect forD. show little interest in舒中高一英语第2页(共8页)6. Why did Ms. Mitchell stop working as a reporter according to the passage?A. Because she was rich enough.B. Because she was injured then.C. Because her husband didn’t like it.D. Because she wanted to write books.7. Which is the best title for the passage?A. An Introduction of the Margaret Mitchell HouseB. Gone with the Wind: A Huge Success.C. A Trip to Know Margaret Mitchell.D. Margaret Mitchell: A Great Female Writer.CSmoking is harmful. But as soon as you quit the habit, everything will be OK, right? Wrong.New research has found that even if you give up smoking, the damage it has done to your genes (基因) will stay there for a much longer time.In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non-smokers. Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed-a number that is one-third of known human genes.According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but mostpeople get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years. This means your body is trying to heal (治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years.It’s almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥) 一it will always be there, even when you’ve walked away and when the cement becomes dry.Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.8.The function of Paragraph 1 is to .A. give an exampleB. introduce the topic of the passageC. make an argumentD. show the main idea of the passage 9.Most genetic changes happen because of .A. people’s condition at bir thB. environmental pollutionC. people’s bad living habitsD. heart disease and cancer 10.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refers to .舒中高一英语第3页(共8页)A. the cementB. the footprintC. the harmful effectD. the genetic change11.Which of the following statements is true?A. The findings are the fruit of more than three years’ research.B. The findings have prevented more people from starting smokingC. The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself.D. The findings help to find cures for genetic damage caused by smoking. DWhen The New Republic magazine predicted who would win the 2020 Nobel Prize in literature on Oct 6, it said: “Not Bob Dylan. That’s for sure.”But the award came as a surprise to many. On Oct 13, the famous US musician was named the Nobel laureate (重要奖项获得者尤指诺贝尔奖)by the Swedish Academy. He has “created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition", according to the organization.Although Dylan, 75, is not really thought to be a literary(文学的)writer, he has given the world a lot of creative work over 50 years, especially when it comes to his folk songs.In his 1985 album Biograph, Dylan wrote about the appeal(魅力) of folk music to him. Rock songs “weren’t serious enough or didn’t reflect(反映) life in a realistic way", according to Dylan. But folk, was “a more serious type of thing. The songs are filled with more sadness; more joy …much deeper feelings".Dylan’s music and lyrics spoke to many people during the 1960s. His lyrics were often about great political issues, such as the civil rights movement. The 1960s were a time of change when the young were making sure that their voices were heard. The idea is most famously expressed in Dylan's The Times They Are a -Changing (1964), which warns the world, “You better start swimming or you'll sink(下沉) like a stone. For the times they are a-changing!”There were complaints that a literary prize had been given to a singer. "But ancient Greek poets Homer and Sappho wrote poetic works that were meant to be listened to, that were meant to be performed, often with instruments —and it’s the same way with Dylan", the Swedish Academy’s permanent secretary Sara Danius told CNN.It could even be said that giving the important prize to Dylan has broughtback an old literary tradition. The millions whose liv es Dylan’s words and music have changed will surely welcome the award.12.Dylan found folk music attractive because ________.A. it brought joy to peopleB. it reflected life on a much deeper levelC. it could be used to express feelings freelyD. it needed more creativity than other types of music13.Which of the following statements is TRUE about Dylan according to the article?A. He never thought that he would win the Nobel Prize.B. All of his influential works were created in the 1960s.C. His songs expressed people’s feelings well during the 1960s.D. His fans were mostly young people who were active in political movements.14.According to the last two paragraphs, ________.A. lyrics can be seen as a literary formB. a literary prize should not be given to a singerC. Dylan’s works were inspired by Greek poetsD. Dylan won the award because he influenced many song-writers 15.What’s the author’s attitude toward giving Bob Dylan the 2020 Nobel Prize in literature?A. Unconcerned.B. Objective.C. Doubtful.D. Supportive.第二节七选五(共5小题;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处的最佳选项。

安徽省舒城中学2020学年高一英语上学期研究性学习材料(周考)试题(七)(无答案)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)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
ANew Zealand is an English-speaking country, but the government recognizes another language, too. This is the Maori language. English sailors began to visit New Zealand after 1770.They found the Maoris, a dark-skinned people, living there. They had come from islands in the Pacific Ocean 400 years before— in the 14th century.For a long time the British Government was not very interested in these far-away islands. It was made a British colony(殖民地) in 1840. In this year the first British people came to settle in the new country. More and more settlers came from Britain later.The Maoris were friendly to the first settlers. But soon the new settlers wanted the Maoris’ land. So in1844 there was fighting between them. This was the first of several wars between the two peoples. The next fifty years was very bad for Maoris. Many were killed in the wars. Many more died from diseases brought by the British. In 1840 there were 200,000 Maoris. By 1996 this number had fallen to 42,000.For many years, the British New Zealanders looked down upon the Maoris. In the 20th century the two peoples have lived in peace. They have equal rights and the Maori language is one of the languages of the country. Today there are about a quarter of a million Maoris, which is about 9% of the population.Most of them live in NorthIsland. They have a rich culture and a great love for singing and dancing.1. After the first visit to New Zealand, the British government showed little interest in it because___A. there were dark-skinned people living thereB. New Zealand was an island countryC. the Maoris didn’t know the English languageD. it was too far away from Britain2. When the British settlers first came to New Zealand, the native people_________A. were afraid of themB. were kind to themC. hated themD. fought against them3. Wars between the Maoris and the British settlers _________A. broke out in 1844B. made 42,000 Maoris lose their lives.C. never happened.D. lasted until nowBIs there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth,” wise people say. You can’t be good at your st udies or work well when you are ill.If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor.The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise sometreatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story. An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well agai n, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.“But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”4. The writer thinks that _____.A. health is more important than wealthB. work is as important as studiesC. medicine is more important than pleasureD. nothing is more important than money5. What advice did the doctor NOT give the old man?A. Take long walks.B. Smoke more than one cigarette a day.C. Eat a lot of meat.D. Drink two glasses of red wineevery day.6. The underlined part “he had never felt a healthierman” means “______”.A. he was feeling better than everB. he wasn’t a healthy manC. he was feeling worse than beforeD. he will be well again7. From the last sentence of the passage, we can learn ______.A. the man was a heavy smoker before seeing the doctorB. the man didn’t smoke so much before seeing the doctor舒中高一英语第2页(共8页)C. the man didn’t smoke before seeing the doctorD. the man began to learn to smoke before seeing the doctorCWaston won his most important game and became Southern Chess Master (南部象棋大师) in 1977. He was given the silver cup.“It isn't rightly mine,”he said, when he was holding the cup.“It was won two years ago when I was on holiday in…“A family was staying at my hotel at that time. MrsPrag, the mother, was told that I played chess; and she begged me to give her young son a game. ‘He's only ten.’she said, ‘I've been told that he plays quite well.’“Well,as you can guess, I wasn't too happy. A player likes the opponent (对手) to play as well as he does. But it was holiday time and I agreed to play. We placed the board (棋盘) in the garden. The game began. I hoped it would be quick──and so it was.“Isoon knew that David Prag was no learner. After ten minutes his sister came outside and began to play tennis against a wall.The boy seemed to lose interest in our game. He moved a piece (棋子) without care. I gave my attention to the board."“Call me when you are ready, Mr Watson,” he said.“When I was ready?I looked up.He had gone off to play with his sis ter.I studied the board──and found I was driven into corner.So it went on with David: a quick move, then tennis, back to the board,then back to his sister. My difficult condition became impossible to change. I was beaten,oh so easily,by a ten-year-old ches s player.He was the winner── in twenty-eight minutes.“David Prag: a name to remember. I had a chance to use his game today, and it won this cup for me. To him, of course, it is only one of a hundred, or perhaps a thousand, winning games.”8. When Mr Watso n said, “It isn't rightly mine. It was won …”,he meant ____ two years before.A. he had played chess with a little boy for twenty-eight minutesB. he had had a chance to take part in an important gameC. he had learned how to play chess from a childD. he had learned a good game from a child9. Before the game, Mr Watson was quite sure that _________A. the boy played as well as he didB. he would be Southern Chess Master two years laterC. he could win the game easilyD. the boy would win the game quickly10. Why did David play tennis while he was playing chess with Watson? Because he _____A. had no interest in playing chess with adultsB. was not good at playing chessC. liked playing tennis much better than playing chessD. played chess much better than Watson11. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Sometimes young children can beat adults in playing chess.B. Watson thought he could win the game quickly, and so he did.C. Watson learned something from David and won the silver cup.D. Watson would never forget the name of the boy.DTurning on the TV, a wonderful scene comes to your eyes—a group of men, tall, strong and handsome, and women, young, beautiful and attractive, too. Together they eat in the finest restaurants, traveling everywhere around the world by luxurious planes and pleasure ships. They are models.Do you envy them? What sort of life are models leading? Is it a wonderful life for a young lady or a young man?A few models are well-known actors or actresses who can make a lot of money only by showing themselves off in commercials. But the majority of them are just curious to see what it is like. They’d like to be models just because they are attracted by what they imagine—models earn a lot of money and lead a glorious life. This is true for those who are very successful. However, most models find it difficult to get work. very few can earn enough to live on, and for all models their expenses are high. Their agents claim about 20% of the earnings, and no model will get very far without a clever agent. Besides, they have to buy good clothing. They also have to pay to travel to interviews and reach the places where the work is to be done.Interviews for a model job are known as cattle-markets in the modeling world, and not without a good reason. A top model can choose his or her work, demand and receive high fees and has his or her expenses paid. But for most models, the situation is quite different. And agent or employer inspects each model much as a farmer inspects cattle at a market. Intelligence, qualifications and personal characteristics count for little against goodlooks and tight figures. For all except the very few lucky ones, the life of a model is a continual search for work, trying to sell himself or herself in the face of fierce competition and, sometimes, not particularly moral standards on the part of some employers.Immigration officials at airport look suspiciously at a girl whose passport shows her occupation as “Model”, and th ese are men and women of considerable experience of the world. It comes no surprise to find that some models prefer to put “Secretary” or “Businessman” as their jobs in their舒中高一英语第4页(共8页)passports.Modeling is a changeable world with great rewards for a tiny minority but not for the majority.12. Which of the following can lead you to believe according to the passage?A. A model’s traveling expenses are usually paid by his employer.B. To be a model, good looks are the most important qualification.C. Most models have a fairly easy way of life with high pay.D. A model can hardly be successful without a good agent.13. Models often put “Secretary” or “Businessman” instead of “Model”in their passports because _____.A. they want to avoid being stopped to sign their names by fansB. a person with the occupation of a model is easily attacked by black societiesC. models are sometimes looked down uponD. secretaries and businessmen are free of custom duty14. What may be the author’s attitude towards modeling?A. It is a worthwhile life for a young lady or a young man.B. He is in favor of young people to try modeling.C. Before being crazy about a model job, young people should be aware ofthe difficulties.D. It is a field in which everyone has a great chance to succeed.15. The underlined word “suspiciously” can most probably be replaced by _________.A. doubtfullyB. excitedlyC. proudlyD. sadly第二节(共5小题;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处的最佳选项。

AWhere can you go to listen to important people talk about important subjects? is a new website that allows Internet users to discuss certain topics with world experts (专家). Subjects discussed on BigThink include the environment, music and questions about happiness and personal identity. The website has been called a YouTube for thinkers. Victoria Brown and Peter Hopkins created . They said that people needed an international place to communicate with each other and discuss the important issues (话题) of our times. On the BigThink website, when you click on a subject, you will find a video of a person talking about his or her ideas. For example, you can listen to United States Senator Ted Kennedy talking about education and other things. Besides, you can read the comments and questions written by other visitors to the website. More than one hundred experts have expressed their ideas on the website. BigThink’s creators (创建者) started the website by first getting famous people to agree to be videoed. They began by interviewing several well-known professors from Harvard University. Then they used the names of these professors to gain the trust of others and get them to take part in the project. Thewebsite says BigThink belongs to everyone. Its motto (格言) is: "We are what you think." So, go online and start thinking big. 1. was created to ______.A. discuss important peopleB. show Internet users funny videosC. introduce the latest IT knowledge and help Internet users solve problemsD. offer Internet users the chance to communicate with experts2.If you visit , you can ______.A. listen to your favorite musicB. chat with thinkers face to face onlineC. communicate with people worldwideD. get an online education3.Why did the creators of start interviewing famous people?A.

How to set up one’s own website.B. A brief introduction to .C. What to do on .D. The importance of sharing ideas with others.BThe Diet Zone: A Dangerous PlaceDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen.We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us.We are paying for productsthat harm us psychologically and physically.Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically.On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods.Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤)instead.All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects.Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results.Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause.Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients.Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products.Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them.Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals.Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, andtherefore prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.5.From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________.A.diet products fail to bring out people’s potentialB.people have difficulty in choosing diet productsC.diet products are misleading peopleD.people are fed up with diet products6.One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _____.A.try out a variety of diet foods B.hesitate before they enjoy diet foods C.pay attention to their own eating habits D.watch their weight rather than their diet 7.In Paragrap h 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means ______.A.losing weight is effortlessB.it costs a lot to lose weightC.diet products bring no painD.diet products are free from calories 8.Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products ______.A.are over-consumedB.lack basic nutrientsC.are short of chemicalsD.provide too much energyCWorldwide, the most people willing to return your mobile phone if you’ve lost it are to be found in Slovenia, and the fewest in Malaysia. This finding is the result of an interesting study in 32 of the world’s largest cities. Altogether, researchers "lost"960 new mobile phones. They got back 654 of them, or 68 percent. Prague came in at number eight. There, 23 out of 30 peoplewho were willing to return the mobile phone.It wasn’t a traditional study. Two researchers carefully chose different places, such as areas with high crime (犯罪) and busy downtown shopping areas, to "lose" the phones. When one of the researchers dropped a phone, the other would keep watching from a distance. The honest finders tried their best to find the owner with the help of the address book in the phone. They were told why the study was done and asked why they acted the way they did.It was found that the busier the place where the researchers dropped the phone, the greater the chance of it being returned. Another interesting finding was that women were generally more likely than men to return the phone. Researchers also found that most people still have a sense of honesty. "Crime is simply not good behaviour (行为),"said an expert. "People wantto trust others, and want to be trusted."9. Who would be most likely to return a phone, according to the study?A. A man who found it in a park.B. A woman who found it in a park.C. A man who found it in a shopping center.D. A woman who found it in a shopping center.10.Which of the following are findings of the study?a. Prague placed number 8 among the 32 cities.b. Men were less likely to return phones than women.c. It was a traditional and interesting study.d. The busier the place, the greater the chance of the phone being returned.A. abcB. bcdC. acdD.abd11.Why did most people return the phones?A. They knew they belonged to the researchers.B. They wanted to be normal people.C. They wanted to be trusted.D. They didn’t want to commit a crime. 12.This passage is mainly about ______.A. why most people returned the phonesB. whether people in busier places are more honestC. a study of people’s honestyD. the honesty of people who return phonesDTell a story and tell it well, and you may open wide the eyes of a child, open up lines of communication in a business, or even open people’s mind to another culture or race.People in many places are digging up the old folk stories and the messages in them. For example, most American storytellers get their tales from a wide variety of sources, cultures, and times. They regard storytelling not only as a useful tool in child education, but also as a meaningful activity that helps adults understand themselves as well as those whose culture may be very different from their own.“Most local stories are based on a larger theme,” American storyteller Opalanga Pugh says, “Cinderella, or the central idea of a good child protected by her goodness, appears in various forms in almost every culture of the world.”Working with students in schools, Pugh helps them understand their own cultures and the general messages of the stories. She works with prisonerstoo, helping them knowing who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives. If they don’t like the story they are living, they can rewrite the story. Pugh also works to help open up lines of communication between managers and workers. “Fo r every advance in business,” she says, “there is a greater need for communication”. Storytelling can have a great effect on either side of the manager-worker relationship, she says.Pugh spent several years in Nigeria, where she learned how closely storytelling was linked to the everyday life of the people there. “The benefits of storytelling are found everywhere,” she says.“I learned how people used stories to spread their culture,” she says, “What I do is to focus on the value of the stories that people can translate into their own daily world of affairs. We are all storytellers. We all have a story to tell. We tell everybody’s story.”13.What do we learn about American storyteller from Paragraph 2?A. They share the same way of storytelling.B. They prefer to tell the stories from other cultures.C. They learn their stories from the American natives.D. They find storytelling useful for both children and adults.14.The underlined sentence (Paragraph 4) suggests that prisoners can _____.A. start a new lifeB. settle down in another placeC. direct filmsD. become good actors15.Pugh has practicedstorytelling with _____ groups of people.A. 2B. 3C. 4D. 5第二节(共5小题;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处的最佳选项。

安徽省舒城县2020学年高一英语上学期研究性学习材料试题(三)(无答案)第一部分阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,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中选出最佳选项AOur planet was born some billions of years ago. Ever since this planet has developed, it has surprised us human beings. No matter how much we human beings have developed technological ly, we cannot ever create this kind of natural planet. The human race can only discover some amazing facts about it. Let us find out what some of themare.On September 13, 1922 El Azizia, a place in Libya, recorded a temperature of 136 degrees Fahrenheit. This was the highest temperature ever measured (测量) on the planet Earth. The highest waterfall in the world is Angel Falls in Venezuela, which drops from an amazing height of 3,212 feet. The waterfall drops over the edge of Auyantepui in the Canaima National Park. The gravitational pull (万有引力) of the Earth can be escaped if someone moves at a speed of 6.95 miles per second. At such a speed, one could travel from New York to Philadelphia in just 20 seconds. If the entire water in the world’s oceans evaporated, the salt we got from these oceans could cover the entire planet with a 500-foot deep layer of salt. The deepest lake on Earth is Lake Baikal in Russia. Lake Baikal is the largest freshwater lake in t he world, containing about 20% of the world’s unfrozen surface fresh water. The Andes in South America spreads over 4,525 miles. This is the longest mountain range (山脉) in the world.Did you know that the biggest valley in the world is the Grand Valley in Mesa County, Colorado and Grand County, Utah? It is about 30 miles (48 km) long and 5 miles (8 km) wide, along the Colorado River. The amazing facts about the earth are too many to be told completely above.1. The underlined word “evaporated” in Paragraph 2 most probably means“_____”.A. became salt graduallyB. became clear slowlyC. changed into warmer waterD. changed into gas or disappeared2. Where is the longest mountain range in the world?A. In Russia.B. In Libya.C. In South America.D. At the Oregon-Idaho border.3.We can learn from this passage that _____.A. Lake Baikal is the biggest lake in the worldB. the highest temperature ever measured was 136 ℃C. the Angel Falls drops from a height of 3,212 metersD. one end of the Grand Valley is in Colorado and the other in UtahBThis is an open letter to the three people who stole my handbag from the department store where I am employed as a shop assistant.When you took my bag, I don't know what you thought you were going to get. With my wages, there's not much left on a Tuesday. I hope the £5 was useful to you . I have informed the social security office so you won't be able to cash the child benefit next week. I hope that won't leave you too short. But if you really need a couple of pounds, I suppose you could always cash one of the two checks left in my check book. Of course,I phoned the bank right away and the check-casing card is no longer valid, so it won’t be much useto you.Actually I don't mind about the money too much. We single parents who work to support our families understand only too well what it means to be short of cash. However, I don’t suppose it went very far among the three of you. Sorry about that!I wish you had left the bag behind and just taken the wallet and check book. There were all kinds of papers in it, and notes and things that I really need. I really think that was very inconsiderate of you. I mean, how would you like something like that to happen to you?Well, perhaps the bag will turn up. It wasn't even an expensive one, just a plain, old brown leather shoulder bag. You probably dumped it in the nearest rubbish bin or threw it into the bushes. We've looked around, of course, but no one saw which way you went after you left the shop.I'm not really angry with you. I know how the pressures of modern living can affect us, but I am sad at the loss of my personal things. I feel violated and helpless. The police were very icy, and they just shruggedtheir shoulders. "It happens all the time," they told me. Some small comfort, I suppose. But I've lost just a little more faith in human nature. And as my young son said when I told him what had happened, "Why? Mummy, why us?" I couldn't answer that question. I wonder if you can.4.In writing Paragraph 2, the writer wants to .A. describe the contents of the bag in detail.B. give some suggestions to the three thievesC. tell the thieves hardly any money was availableD. state the fact that she was careless with the money5.Which of the following is the most valuable to the writer?A. The cash in her bagB. Thepapers and notes in the bagC. The handbag itselfD.The check books in the bag舒中高一英语第2页(共8页)6.What can we conclude about the police?A. They have doubts about human natureB. They show sympathy for the womanC. They think the case quite commonD. They are unable to find the thieves7.Why does the author write the letter?A. To give the thieves a serious warningB. To complain about the fall of moralityC. To call people’s attention to their belongingsD. To express her affection for her valuable bagCParents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests they both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.“I would never have said to my mom, ‘Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?’” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits(轨道).Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. And parent—child activities, from shopping to sports,involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. “There’s still a lot of strictness and authority(权威) on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,” says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. “In the middle of that change, th ere is a lot of confusion among parents.”Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these changing roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic(民主的) process that encourages everyone to have a say.“My parents were on the ‘before’ side of that change, but today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘after’ side,” explains Mr. Ballmer. “It’s not something easily achieved by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”8. The underlined word “gulf” in Para.3 most probably means _________.A. distanceB. interestC. similarityD. cooperation9. The change in today’s parent-child relationship is _________.A. more confusion among children.B. less respect for parents from children.C. new equality between parents and children.D. more strictness and authority on the part of parents.10. By saying “today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘after’side.” the author means that today’s parents _________.A. can set a limit to the change.B. follow the trendof the change.C. fail to take the change seriously.D. have little difficulty adjusting(适应)to the change.11. The purpose of the passage is to _________.A. describe the difficulties today’s parents have met with.B. discuss the development of the parent—child relationship.C. suggest the ways to handle the parent—child relationship.D. compare today’s parent—child relationship with that in the past.DLONDON: What could possibly be wrong with planting trees? The benefits are obvious; they firm the soil, soak up (摄取) extra water and take carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) our of the atmosphere.However, it now turns out that planting trees could add to global warming.Tree roots do a great job of keeping soil firmly on the ground and out of the wind’s power. The problem is that some of those dust clouds play an important part in soaking up carbon dioxide.Huge dust storms blow out over the oceans from dry parts of North Africa and central Asia. Tons of dust are lifted and left as a thin film over the ocean surface. The dust fuels oceanic life.Dust from China is carried east and left in the Pacific Ocean. If a tree-planting program there is successful and the dust supply reduced, the net result may be that less carbon dioxide gets locked away in the ocean.Andy Ridgwell, an environmental scientist from the University of East An glia, has spent the past few years studying dust and says his work “shows clearly the complexity of the system and the importance of not tinkering(粗劣地修补) with it without understanding the results. For this reason the need is to focus(集中) on cutting carbon dioxide giving off rather than monkeying(瞎弄) about with the land surface.”An American scientist, Robert Jackson, has shown that when native grassland areas are invaded(侵入) by trees, carbon is lost from the soil. “We are studying why the soil carbon disap pears, but one theory is that trees do a lot more of their growing above ground compared to grasses, so less carbon舒中高一英语第4页(共8页)goes directly into the soil from trees, ” says Jackson.In wet areas of the world, the gain from trees absorbing carbon dioxide above ground seems to be outweighed(超过) by the loss of carbon from the soil below ground. Countries that plan to combatglobal warming by planting trees may have to think again.Solutions to environmental problems are often more complex than they first appear, and un derstanding the Earth’s climate is a very great challenge. 12.People usually hold the opinion that .A.huge dust storms can destroy carbon dioxideB.huge dust storms can destroy the oceans on the earthC.huge dust storms can’t do anything beneficial for manD.planting trees is the only way to control huge dust storms 13.Andy Ridgwell, the environmental scientist, believes that .A.dust plays a more important part than treesB.trees shouldn’t have been pl anted in dry placesC.carbon dioxide is harmful to everything on the earthD.environmental problems are more complex than expected 14.Robert Jackson’s experiment proves that.A.grassland areas should be covered by forestsB.trees hold more carbon than grassesC.carbon can turn grass into dustD.less carbon can make trees grow faster15.The underlined word “combat” in the last paragraph means.A.learn about B.fight against C.live with D.give up 第二节(共五小题,每小题2分,共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
