AWatson entered Mr. Smith's office. The boss was a hard man. He fired people who didn't do well without giving them a second chance."Watson," said Mr. Smith, "this past year your department hasn't earned money. We're going to drop that department. It's finished. I’m sorry, —but you'll have to go." "But, sir — if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.""What's that!" said the boss. "Riverside! I didn't know you had a boy there. That's an expensive school for a man with your salary.""I know, sir. But he likes it there so much! He's a star athlete and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him Champ there."The boss sat perfectly still for a long time — a faraway (恍惚的) look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said, "We've got to close your department, Watson. But you'll take over a new job in another department. It means longer hours—maybe more pay. Now get out. You're here for life."Watson got out, with surprise on his face. Then the boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbie's last letter from Riverside School —written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again with sick pain. The letter read:I can’t say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were. I guess it's the same everywhere when you're a cripple (跛脚的人). But don't worry about me, Dad. They've got a good chemistry department here. And there’s one boy here who is really great. He's a track star and boxing champ (冠军) and just tops in chemistry. The boys call him Champ. He made them stop throwing my books around. And he knocked a boy down who hit me. He is the best friend I ever had. Dad, when I grow up, 1 want to do something for Champ. Something big — that he won’ t even know about.Your son,Herbie1. Mr. Smith wanted to fire Watson because _____.A. Watson would take over a new job in another departmentB.

Another purpose of a brand is to contrast one company from another. The most important skill of professional marketers is the ability to create, maintain, protect, and enhance the brands of their products and services. Branding has become so important that today hardly any company or product is without one. Therefore, brand management is an increasingly important element in marketing.Brand power refers to the relative strength of a company’s brand in the minds of consumers, and can influence consumers’ choice of products. Brands are powerful to the extent that they give high brand loyalty and strong brand associations, name recognition, perceived quality and other assets to a company. A strong brand can be one of a company’s most important assets.High brand power provides a company with many competitive advantages. A powerful brand enjoys a high level of consumer brand awareness and loyalty. Because consumers expect stores to carry the brand, the company has more bargaining power when negotiating with retailers (零售商). And because the brand name brings high credibility, a company with a strong brand can more easily launch new products with the same brand name.Many companies use the advantage of a strong brand power strategically to expand their business. When a company introduces an additional item with a new flavour, form, colour or package size in a given product category and under the same brand name, it is called a line extension. Another strategy is called brand extension. This involves the use of a successful brand name to launch new or modified products in a new category, thereby employing brand recognition in order to increase sales of new products.Brand recognition is certainly important. Because consumers often hold long-standing perceptions about brands, high brand power ensure a company continued sales of its products.5. What does the word “assets” in the 2nd paragraph me an?A. pointsB. advantagesC. aspectsD. elements6. All of the following statements are the advantages of a high brand power EXCEPT that______.A. a high brand wins the loyalty of consumersB. a high brand usually sets a much higher priceC. it’s easy for a high brand company to launch new productsD. a high brand company is more competitive when doing business with retailers7. A brand extension ______.A. happens when the company is developing a new productB. means the expansion o f a company’s business in its established fieldC. takes place when the company introduces a similar item but with a new colourD. refers to the use of an established brand name to promote a new product in a new category8. What might be the best title of this passage?A. Brand PowerB. Famous BrandsC. Company BrandsD. Brand ProductsCThe booking notes of the play "the Age of Innocence":Price: $10BOOKINGThere are four easy ways to book seats for performance:------ in personThe Box Office is open Monday to Saturday, 10 a. m. -8 p. m.-----by telephoneRing 01324976 to reserve your tickets or to pay by credit card(Visa, MasterCard and Amexaccepted)------ by postSimply complete the booking form and return it to Global Theatre Box Office.------on lineComplete the on-line booking form at www.

A school party of 15 students should pay $90 for the standby tickets.DThe fourth round of heavy smog to hit Beijing in four weeks has sent more people to the hospital with respiratory（呼吸的）illnesses and led to calls for laws to control the pollution.Pan Shiyi, a celebrity real estate developer said he is planning to propose (提案) a Clean Air Act to the local government. As a representative to the Beijing Municipal People's Congress, he started an online survey at 9:20 a.m. Within three hours, more than 25,000 web users, or 99 percent of total respondents（应答者）, welcomed his proposal on Sina Weibo, China's Twitter.They have good reasons to stand alongside Pan. The latest round of haze（雾霾）reduced visibility to under 500 meters in many parts of the city. The smog has also led to a great increase in respiratory illnesses, particularly among children and the elderly. Anxious parents and doctors almost all blame the smoggy air for the illnesses. Though most schoolchildren are home for the winter holidays, the bad air can easily move indoors. Besides, ordinary medical masks fail to provide adequate protection, so some people have turned to gas masks and respirators（呼吸器）.The causes of the scary smog are rather mysterious, though experts blame excessive emissions and the mountains around Beijing that trap pollution in winter, unless there is adequate wind to clear it away. Some critics have pointed fingers at China’s top two oil firms, China National Petroleum Corp and China Petrochemical Corporation, saying the companie s’ outdated production technologies produce large quantities of substandard, high-polluting gas fuel.Meanwhile, concerned Beijingers have moved their brainstorming sessions to cyberspace. If Pan’s proposal for a Clean Air Act is adopted, netizens say the new law should include items providing for “car-free days” in times of smog, higher standards for vehicle fuel, stricter restrictions on industrial and exhaust gas emissions, and more effective protection for the public.Beijing is not the only city that has ever lost the blue sky. Five days of thick fog caused thousands of deaths in Britain in December 1952, urging the government to pass the first Clean Air Act in 1956, which introduced smokeless zones and cleaner fuels to reduce pollution. That may provide some experience for Beijing to refer to.13. What can we learn from the passage?A．People are clear about the causes of the smoggy weather.B．Children staying indoors will not get respiratory illnesses.C．Smog is worse for people with lower resistance to diseases.D．Masks can give people protection against the smoggy weather.14. Britain is mentioned in the last paragraph to ______.A．suggest Beijing should learn from other countriesB．let people know many places have this problemC．tell people the situation in Britain is worseD．call on the government to pass Britain’s Clean Air Act15.What’s the best title for this passage？A．The Use of Gas masks and RespiratorsB．Beijingers Call for Clean Air ActC．Effective Protection for Blue SkyD．The Mysterious Causes of the Scary Smog第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下面A~G选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

嘉峪关市一中2014—2015学年第二学期期末考试高一英语试题第一部分：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。
AOne day a lawyer’s wife fell ill, and he went to get a doctor. The doctor willingly came to see the woman and to do what he could for her, but before he went into the house, he made a short stop. He knew that the lawyer was famous for not paying his bills, even if they were due(正当的).He therefore said to the man. “But if I save your wife, I am afraid you may not pay me.”“Sir,” replied the law yer. “Here I have＄500.Whether you cure my wife or you kill her, I'll give you all this.”The doctor was reassured(使安心) and went into the house. When he reached the woman's bedside, it soon became clear to him that he could do little. She was seriously ill, and though he prescribed(开药方) her medicine, she soon died.He told the lawyer he was very sorry, and then asked for the money which he had promised. “Did you kill my wife?” Asked the lawyer. “Of course I didn't.” said the doctor. “Well! Did you cure my wi fe?” asked the man. “I'm afraid that was impossible.” replied the doctor. “Well, then since you neither killed my wife nor cured her, I have nothing to pay you.”1. One day a lawyer’s wife fell ill, and the lawyer_____A. cured his wifeB. got a doctor for herC. got some medicine for her illnessD. pay＄500 to the doctor2. Before entering the lawyer’s house the doctor stopped for a while, because_____ .A. the doctor wanted to ask something about his wife's illnessB. the doctor thought it impossible to save the womanC. the doctor was afraid that the lawyer would refuse to pay himD. the lawyer was too poor to pay his bills3. Because the lawyer’s wife was seriously ill, the doctor_____A. couldn’t do much and didn't save her lifeB. tried his best and saved her at lastC. had to do everything he could for herD. had to spend a lot of time to cure her4. From the story, we know_____.A. the lawyer was very cleverB. how the lawyer's wife diedC. the doctor was stupid enough to be fooledD. the lawyer was dishonest and that he fooled the doctorBHow to improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They’ll say, “This is my destiny(命运). I cannot change it.”Of course not! You don’t have to suffer needlessly. Your life depends on you, not on other factors.I know a woman who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, and then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.Huh! Is this what she calls “doing her best”? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that has been intended for her and that her luck can only change if God wills(愿意) it. She hasn’t realized that we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.Remember that you harvest what you sow. You have to get off the sofa, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your ha nds off the phone (unless it’s helpful to your success), and get your mind and body to work! Don’t expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don’t just regard it as a temporary(暂时的) problem; Instead, learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It’s not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.If someone’s life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don’t just stand or sit there, do something to improve your life.5. According to the woman mentioned in Para. 3, her life ___________.A. doesn’t need improvingB. will be better some dayC. can’t improve itselfD. will be worse in the future6. What does the author think of the woman’s life?A. PositiveB. DisturbingC. ColorfulD.Negative (消极的)7. In Para. 5, the author emphasized(强调)the importance of _________.A. positive thinkingB. positive actionC. hope for the bestD. intention to succeed8.The text is mainly written to advise you to ________.A. improve your lifeB. understand yourselfC. believe in yourselfD. change your normal wayCAbout ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green － a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright lightand to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way, human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.9. The passage is mainly about _____________.A. color and its surprising effectsB. women being luckier than menC. danger caused by color blindnessD. color blindness10. According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can_______________.A. tell different shapesB. see in a weak lightC. kill mosquitoesD. tell orange from yellow11. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?A. Women are more careful.B. There are fewer color-blind womenC. Women are fonder of driving than men.D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.12. Which of the statements about the color- blind is true?A. Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color.B. None of them can see deep red.C. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.D. All of them see everything in shades of green.DFrench lessons in FranceWhatever your level is, choosing to take French lessons in France is the best way to learn French.

甘肃省高一下学期期末考试英语试卷(带答案)
甘肃省高一下学期期末考试英语试卷(带答案）学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________一、阅读理解In the course of a lifetime, people will experience regrets both large and small. These regrets can lead to motivation for personal growth or they can take you downa pathway to depression and self-punishment. 1 Here are some useful tips.2 Evaluate the situation and try to look for any lessons that you can learn about yourself. You may find out that even a situation that you regretted may have helped you in other areas or teach you to avoid future wrong behavior. This can help you to remove some of the negative emotions.Apologize for mistakes. You may find it helpful to apologize to people who you may have hurt. An apology can be particularly important if your regrets are centered on conflicts in relationships that have caused emotional suffering. This doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re going to accept your apology. 3 Try to forgive yourself. There are somethings that you are not able to make right or change from your past. In these cases, it’s important to learn how to forgive yourself. You need to realize that we all have regrets and accept that what’s done is done. Never take all of the guilt and blame on yourself. 4 Take steps to do better in the future rather than look back.Consider seeking help. If you find yourself stuck in a repeating cycle of self-blame and negative thinking, you may need to reach out to a mental health professional for support. 5 Listening to their experiences can expand your view beyond the present moment.A．Learn from your regret.B．Ask yourself some questions.C．How regrets are dealt with counts a lot.D．Instead, treat yourself as you would treat a friend.E．You can also talk to other people with similar regrets.F．But it can help to ease the tension and relieve your stress.G．You should give yourself time to recover from a past regret.Michael J. Fox was at the height of his career when he developed Parkinson’s disease(帕金森病) in 1991. Since then, he has been fighting the disease and has not lost his love for life.After his diagnosis(诊断), Michael concealed his illness for several years in order not to risk his career as an actor. His diagnosis didn’t become public until 1999. To this day, he has done his best not to be influenced by his illness as much as possible and has worked both in front of the camera and as a voice actor. He has found the right way to deal with Parkinson’s disease for him: Humor.In an interview in March 2017, he joked about moments in his everyday life where he is controlled by his illness. “The thing that makes it funny to me is when I think about someone else watching all this and thinking, ‘Poor Michael can’t even get the coffee — it’s so sad!’”, explains the 59-year-old.Since his diagnosis became public, he has founded the Michael Organization for Parkinson’s Research. By the end of 2018, 800 million US dollars had already been collected.6．What does the underlined word “concealed” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Hid. B．Feared. C．Refused to treat. D．Paid no attention to.7．Which of the following is right?A．His diagnosis become public in 1991.B．He doesn’t like joking about moments in his everyday life.C．He has done his best not to be influenced by his illness as much as possible. D．Michael fell into a depression forever after the illness.8．Which of the following can best describe Michael?A．Tough and optimistic. B．Patient and honest.C．Confident and easy-going. D．Dependent and open-minded.9．What did Michael do for Parkinson’s disease?A．He provided money for those with it. B．He called on people to face it bravely. C．He established a center to treat people with it. D．He tried to raise money tosupport research on it.“What part of the States（州）do you come from?”“I’m not American. I’m Canadian.”This is a mistake that Europeans often make. Many Americans, too, admit that it takes them a while to tell if it’s an American talking or a Canadian. This upsets some Canadians, because they want people to recognize them as Canadians. They want everyone to know that Canada is an independent nation with its own special character. American English was probably brought to Canada by the Loyalists（忠于北方者）who fled there during the Revolutionary War（1776～1783）, for even as late as 1813. 80% of all British Canadians had come from the USA．From the very first, Canada was a country with two languages, neither of which influenced the other very much, because the French and British spoke to each other so little. Canadian English has always remained very like American English, and the influence of the Indian and Inuit languages was no greater than the influence of French.

Unlike English or French, we don’t have to learn to speak it, and we’re born with the ability to laugh. Studies show that the first laughter appears at about 3.5 to 4 months of age, long before we’re able to speak.As the saying goes, “Laughter is the best medicine.” Best of all, this priceless medicine is fun, free and easy to use. Nothing works faster to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. It helps relax your whole body leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes. Laughter also helps you fight against diseases. It can improve the function of blood vessels (血管) and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack.And the good feeling you get when you laugh remains with you even a few minutes later. It helps you keep a positive, optimistic attitude toward difficult situations, disappointments and losses. Laughter gives you the strength to find new sources of meaning and hope. Even in the most difficult days, a laugh or even simply a smile can go a long way toward making you feel better.Shared laughter is one of the most effective tools for keeping relationshipsfresh and exciting. And it helps build strong and lasting relationships, and it unites people during difficult times. So it’s necessary to create opportunities to laugh with others. More often, people are very happy to share something funny because it gives them an opportunity to laugh again. When you hear laughter, find it out and ask. “What’s funny?” And you can make time for fun activities such as bowling, golfing or karaoke.In short, the ability to laugh and have fun not only makes life more enjoyable but also helps you solve problems, connect with others, and be more creative. The more laughter there is, the more benefits you’ll receive.15．The author develops the second paragraph mainly by ________.A．telling storiesB．providing examplesC．discussing questionsD．showing research findings16．Paragraph 3 mainly talks about ________.A．the difficult times in one’s lifeB．the benefits of laughter to our mindC．the physical health benefits of laughterD．different ways to feel better about oneself17．Why does the author suggest laughing with others?A．It strengthens the relationships between people.B．It makes people look much younger.C．It helps treat many kinds of diseases.D．It creates opportunities to be friendly.18．What would be the best title for the text?A．Man — the Only Creature That LaughsB．Laughing Makes Us YoungerC．Different Types of LaughterD．Why Should We Laugh?二、七选五Have you ever considered a simple and environmentally friendly lifestyle in the future?

嘉峪关市一中2014年高三适应性考试（一）英语试题第一部分阅读理解(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）AIt was six or seven years ago that I first witnessed a ginger cat break into my house．His name was Samson and while ―cat‘‘ was one description you might have applied to him, another more accurate one was ―ginger beach ball that just happened to have a cat‘s head on top‖．He belonged to Ruby，a lady in her 80s living across the road．Soon the two of us became friends：me allowing him to steal my cat‘s biscuits，him allowing me to stroke him while staring up at me in a relaxed way．If he had been able to speak，the majority of his sentences would have ended in the word ―dude‖(伙计)．When Ruby died in 2009，a friend who lived several miles away adopted Samson．A strict diet followed，which left Samson looking less like a beach ball and more like a smaller cat wearing a baggy ginger sweater．While he had been around，I had complained a little about my extra cat food bills and feared for my armchairs and sofa which were often violently scratched. But in the year or two after he‘d gone I missed him a lot．In the past two and a half years，I‘ve been visited by a succession of ginger cats，all of whom have been lovable，and all of whom have proved costly in either an emotional or financial sense．I'm moving out soon and facing up to the fact that I might never see them again．I've told the buyer of my house about the essential information of it，especially the visiting cats．The chances are that one day if a cat，whether it is from one of the neighbours or just a stray one，turns up by his doorway，he can at least feed it．1．When the author first saw the ginger cat，．A．she named it Samson immediatelyB．she thought Samson was troublesomeC．she asked Ruby to adopt itD．she found the cat looked very fat2．We can conclude from Paragraph l that the ginger cat ．A．was not properly trained B．enjoyed the moment with the authorC．was abandoned by Ruby D．disliked the biscuits of the author3．Who does the underlined word ―he‖ in the last sentence refer to?A．The ginger cat B．The authorC．Ruby D．The new owner of the house4．We can infer from the story that the authorA．missed the days spent with those catsB．regretted what she had done for the catsC．had many encounters with strange catsD．had to avoid conflicts with his neighboursBTeen Climbing Camp 2010This 5-day climbing camp is suitable for teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18 who have an interest in rock climbing. The climbing days are designed for beginners and those who havesome basic experience in a gym or outdoors.

What of the following do participants need to bring with them?A. A safety rope.B. A helmet.C. Climbing shoes.D. Appropriate clothing.7.

What can we infer from the text?A. Some experience is required of the participants.B. It‘ll be hard for teens to experience the climbing.C. Parents are required to stay with their children.D. Guides will talk about the prices with parents.CExpensive and new gloves allow chatterboxes（话匣子）to take the term ―handsfree‖ to a new level—by talking into them as they make a call. The gloves are known as ―Talk to the Hand‖ and cost £1,000 a pair. They fixed a speaker unit into the thumb and a microphone into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using Bluetooth.Artist Sean Miles designed the new gloves that double as a phone in part of his project that shows the possibilities of gadget recycling. He uses outdated gloves and combines them with parts from mobile handsets recycled through O2, which commissioned（承担）the project. Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phones out of their pockets or handbags.Mr Miles designed two pairs of the new gloves—one in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the gloves. If demand is high, they will then be produced on a larger scale. O2 Recycle, which backed the project, estimates that there are already 70 million unused mobile handsets in the UK. The service pays up to £260 to those who recycle gadgets including phones, handheld consoles, MP3 players and digital cameras.Designer Sean Miles hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling. The 41-year-old said, ―I hope that my ‗Talk to the Hand‘ project will get people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets. If a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than send them to trash, I think this project will have fulfilled its aim.‖Bill Eyres, head of O2 Recycle, urges people to recycle their phone responsibly. He said, ―There‘s a pressing need for all of us to look at outdated handsets, and all the gadgets that we move on from or upgrade each year. Whether they are consoles or cameras, we should think of them as a resource that we need to recycle responsibly rather than throw them away.‖9.The underlined word ―O2‖ in Paragraph 2 is probably the name of ______.A. an artistB. a companyC. a mobileD. an exhibition10.Consumers can buy the ―Talk to the Hand‖ gloves ______.A. in the exhibitionB. from Mr MilesC. when they are mass producedD. after they recycle the gadgets11 The purpose of the project is to _______.A. promote the technology of ITB. enable people to talk to their handsC. raise people‘s awareness of recyclingD. attract visitors‘ attention in the exhibition12.What is the passage mainly about?A. New mobiles that are fashionable.B. Outdated handsets that are upgraded.C. Outdated gadgets that can be used for recycling.D. New gloves that can be used for making phone calls.DThe Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place Diet 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 ea sily 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 products that 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 orrecognize 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 ourselv es 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, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.13. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _____.A. hesitate before they enjoy diet foodsB. pay attention to their own eating habitsC. watch their weight rather than their dietD. try out a variety of diet foods14. In Paragraph 3, ―gain comes without pain‖ probably means ______.A. losing weight is effortlessB. diet products bring no painC. it costs a lot to lose weightD. diet products are free from calories15. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products ______.A. lack basic nutrientsB. are over-consumedC. are short of chemicalsD. provide too mu energy第二节．补全对话（共5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。

2015嘉峪关市高一英语下学期期末试卷
2015嘉峪关市高一英语下学期期末试卷The following are two letters to the editor of a school newspaperDear editor,Id like to express my opinion about grades. Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades. Fortunately, most educators are becoming aware of the fact that students have different interests and abilities. I understand that grades are useful, but grades often limit creativity. Competing for better grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to pursue music, dramatics and sports. Grades force an arbitrary(武断的) standard of success on everyone. I do not demand as some extremists do, that grades be removed immediately. However, I do believe that less emphasis should be placed on grades. I hope that some day grades will become optional at Village High School.Magdalena SmithDrama Club-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dear editor,Finally, grades are used as a useful standard by which to measure student achievement. Good grades help students to get jobs and to get into university. I’ve spoken with a number of students who have jobs, and most of them say that they were hired primarily on the basis of their grades. My grades helped me land a part-time job and will help me get into university next year. I think grades are extremely important at Village High School.Simon HarperScience Club34. Which of the following is NOT Magdalena Smiths opinion?A. Students may give up the chance to learn music and sports for grades.B. Students creativity may not be developed for grades.C. Grades should not be used to measure a personssuccess.D. Grades should be taken away at once.35. We can learn Simon Harper ______________.A. believes in the benefits of good gradesB. is concerned about students creativityC. doesnt work too hard at his studiesD. supports students’ interests and abilities编辑老师为大家整理了嘉峪关市高一英语下学期期末试卷，希望对大家有所帮助。

第二卷：非选择题第一卷：选择题：第一部分：阅读理解:（每小题2分，满分30分）第一节(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)AIf cars had wings（翅膀）, they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2011. The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its car-plane, the Transition, so customers by the end of 2011.“It's the next‘wow’vehicle，”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh.“Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don't fl y.”The car-plane has wings that unfold for flying－a process the company says takes one minute －and fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then you're good to go. When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you don't have to store it at an airport－you park it in the garage at home.The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers. Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under the bad weather instead of flying into marginal (临界的) conditions.The Transition's price tag：$ 194,000. But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, a transponder or a GPS. Another option is a full-plane parachute.“If you get into a very awful situation，it is the necessary safety option，”Gersh said.So far, the company has more than 70 orders with deposits.“We're workin g very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps，”Brown said.1．We can learn from the first two paragraphs that ________.A．car-planes will be popular in 2011B．people might drive a car-plane in 2011C．both the Transition and Ferrari can take off and landD．Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts2．The underlined word“it”in the last but one paragraph refers to ________.A．the radio B．the transponderC．the GPS D．the full-plane parachute3．What's the best title for the passage?A．Cars with wings may be just around the cornerB．Which to choose：a Ferrari or a car-plane?C．A more convenient and cheaper way to flyD．Cars with wings can fly as fast as planesBWelcome to Pocono WhitewaterThere's something fun here at Pocono Whitewater for every level of adventurer!

Its first use was as a shade against the sun!Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the 11th century BC.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was commonly used in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late 16th century. And again it was considered as a symbol of power. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later in England.By the 18th century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have becomemuch lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that women's umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colors.8．According to this passage, the umbrella was probably first invented in ancient ________.A. ChinaB. EgyptC. GreeceD. Rome9．Which of the following statements is NOT true about the umbrella?A. No one exactly knows who the inventor of the umbrella was.B. The umbrella was first invented to be used as protection against the sun.C. The umbrella changed much in style in the 18th century.D. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade.10．A strange feature of the umbrellA s use is that it was used as ________.A. protection against rainB. a shade against the sunC. a symbol of honor and powerD. women's decoration (装饰)第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)__11__ If you use it often and in the right ways, you will become a more skilled thinker and your ability to focus will increase.

(共15小题，满分30分) A As a boy I was always small for my age. I was also five years younger than one of my brothers and seven years younger than the other. As a result I often felt left out when their friends came over to play. I was either too small or too young for whatever they were doing and they didn’t want their younger brother listening to their conversations either. More often than not I found myself outside playing alone and feeling forgotten. I remember one spring afternoon feeling especially lonely as I sat in the yard behind our house. We lived miles from town and I hardly saw my own friends outside of school. I heard my brothers laughing from inside the house and felt a single tear coming down my cheek. At that moment I saw a large brown dog walking over to me. He looked happy and his tail was1。

Evidence collected so far suggests that an ordinary animal—a dog, a horse, a pig—may give as reliable a warning of an impending earthquake as scientists.In 1970, 200 instruments failed to predict a California earthquake that shook buildings in San Francisco, 78 miles away. But in 1974, several months before a big earthquake in China, pigs climbed the walls, hens would not roost(栖息),trained dogs did not obey commands and farmyard geese refused to fly.The Chinese scientists paid attention to these and other signs, they educated people before the earthquake struck there and saved a hundred thousand lives.Many nations now have animals-warning centers to try to learn the animal sense so that instruments can be built to detect the same signal.46.This passage mainly tells us .A. about the big earthquake in San FranciscoB. that animals can predict earthquakesC. animals are better at predicting earthquakes than scientistsD. that some of the animals are clever than human beings47. In this passage, “an impending earthquake” means an earthquake.A. that will take place very soonB. that has just taken placeC. that will not take placeD. that will take place in a very long time48. In 1974, many people’s lives were saved in the earthquake because.A. animals climbed the walls or did not obey ordersB. people knew the correct time of the earthquakeC. scientists knew an earthquake would come and people were well prepared for itD. scientists prevented the earthquake from taking place49. Now many countries want to predict earthquakes better .A . with the help of animals B. all by themselvesC. than animalsD. without animalsBCentral ParkOutside among the trees, watch the wildlife—both the human and animal varieties.

To give a brief introduction to the history of New York.CEver since humans lived on the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, the expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language difficulty, communication is carried out through sign language in which movements stand for letters, words and ideas. Tourists and the people unable to hear or speak have had to use this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words arevery vivid(生动的) and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.Body language passes on ideas or thoughts by certain action, either on purpose or not. A wink(眨眼) can be a way ofindication that the party is only joking.

After arriving, we all rushed down to the river and had a swim. Standing by the river, we noticed that it was surrounded by cliffs(悬崖). If someone wanted to reach the river at this point, he had towalk past our camp.Several days later, the scoutmaster had to be away for a day. That afternoon, we had supper early. We were sitting round the fire, eating and talking, when a man walked past and went down towards the river. We all felt that this man looked very strange, but, because each of us was afraid of looking very stupid, no one said anything.We ate rather slowly, taking as long as possible. After finishing, we collected our plates together so that we could take them to the river where we always washed them. But no one moved towards the river —we stood looking at each otherashamed. Then all shouting at once, we began talking about the man who had walked past us. We agreed how strange he looked and we wondered what he could be doing by the river. We knew that he could only return by passing through our camp.An hour passed. Then one of the boys suggested we should creep（悄悄移动）down by the river so that we could seewhat the man was doing. Moving very slowly and keeping in the shadow, we crept down towards the bank. One boy climbed a tree so that he could see everything clearly. He called to us that there was no one there, so we ran down to the bank, looking everywhere carefully. We could not understand where the man had gone.When it got dark, we went back to our camp feeling bewildered. We told the scoutmaster what had happened in the evening. Smiling, he doubted that we had seen the man, but finally suggested we go and look again. We did, but there was no one there.共10页，第5页共10页，第6页Many years have passed, but I still remember it as if it were yesterday. What did we see? I do not know.57.

甘肃省嘉峪关一中2014届高三英语下学期适应性考试试题(一)新人教版
嘉峪关市一中2014年高三适应性考试〔一〕英语试题第一局部阅读理解(共20小题；每一小题2分，总分为40分)第一节〔共15小题，每一小题2分，总分为30分〕AIt was six or seven years ago that I first witnessed a ginger cat break into my house．His name was Samson and while “cat’’ was one description you might have applied to hi m, another more accurate one was “ginger beach ball that just happened to have a cat’s head on top〞．He belonged to Ruby，a lady in her 80s living across the road．Soon the two of us became friends：me allowing him to steal my cat’s biscuits，him allowing me to stroke him while staring up at me in a relaxed way．If he had been able to speak，the majority of his sentences would have ended in the word “dude〞(伙计)．When Ruby died in 2009，a friend who lived several miles away adopted Samson．A strict diet followed，which left Samson looking less like a beach ball and more like a smaller cat wearing a baggy ginger sweater．While he had been around，I had complained a little about my extra cat food bills and feared for my armchairs and sofa which were often violently scra tched. But in the year or two after he’d gone I missed him a lot．In the past two and a half years，I’ve been visited by a succession of ginger cats，all of whom have been lovable，and all of whom have proved costly in either an emotional or financial sense．I'm moving out soon and facing up to the fact that I might never see them again．I've told the buyer of my house about the essential information of it，especially the visiting cats．The chances are that one day if a cat，whether it is from one of the neighbours or just a stray one，turns up by his doorway，he can at least feed it．1．When the author first saw the ginger cat，．A．she named it Samson immediatelyB．she thought Samson was troublesomeC．she asked Ruby to adopt itD．she found the cat looked very fat2．We can conclude from Paragraph l that the ginger cat ．A．was not properly trained B．enjoyed the moment with the authorC．was abandoned by Ruby D．disliked the biscuits of the author3．Who does the underlined word “he〞 in the last sentence refer to?A．The ginger cat B．The authorC．Ruby D．The new owner of the house4．We can infer from the story that the authorA．missed the days spent with those catsB．regretted what she had done for the catsC．had many encounters with strange catsD．had to avoid conflicts with his neighboursBTeen Climbing Camp 2010This 5-day climbing camp is suitable for teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18 who have an interest in rock climbing.

The gloves a re known as “Talk to the Hand〞and cost £1,000 a pair. They fixed a speaker unit into the thumb and a microphone into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using Bluetooth.Artist Sean Miles designed the new gloves that double as a phone in part of his project that shows the possibilities of gadget recycling. He uses outdated gloves and combines them with parts from mobile handsets recycled through O2, which commissioned〔承当〕the project. Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phones out of their pockets or handbags.Mr Miles designed two pairs of the new gloves—one in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the gloves. If demand is high, they will then be produced on a larger scale. O2 Recycle, which backed the project, estimates that there are already 70 million unused mobile handsets in the UK. The service pays up to £260 to those who recycle gadgets including phones, handheld consoles, MP3 players and digital cameras.Designer Sean Miles hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling. The 41-year-old said, “I hope that my ‘Talk to the Hand’ project will get people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets. If a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than send them to trash, I think this project will have fulfilled its aim.〞Bill Eyres, head of O2 Recycle, urges people to recycle their phone responsibly. He said, “There’s a pressing need for all of us to look at outdated handsets, and all the gadgets that we move on from or upgrade each year. Whether they are consoles or cameras, we should think of them as a resource that we need to recycle responsibly rather than throw them away.〞9.The underlined word “O2〞 in Paragraph 2 is probably the name of ______.A. an artistB. a companyC. a mobileD. an exhibition10.Consumers can buy the “Talk to the Hand〞 gloves ______.A. in the exhibitionB. from Mr MilesC. when they are mass producedD. after they recycle the gadgets11 The purpose of the project is to _______.A. promote the technology of ITB. enable people to talk to their handsC. raise people’s awareness of recyclingD. attract visitors’ attention in the exhibition12.What is the passage mainly about?A. New mobiles that are fashionable.B. Outdated handsets that are upgraded.C. Outdated gadgets that can be used for recycling.D. New gloves that can be used for making phone calls.DThe Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place Diet 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 payingfor products that 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 swallo w 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 haveon 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 timeto seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, notin the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.13. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _____.A. hesitate before they enjoy diet foodsB. pay attention to their own eating habitsC. watch their weight rather than their dietD. try out a variety of diet foods14. In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain〞 probably means ______.A. losing weight is effortlessB. diet products bring no painC. it costs a lot to lose weightD. diet products are free from calories15. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products ______.A. lack basic nutrientsB. are over-consumedC. are short of chemicalsD. provide too mu energy第二节．补全对话〔共5小题，每一小题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优选项。

AOne day a lawyer’s wife fell ill, and he went to get a doctor. The doctor willingly came to see the woman and to do what he could for her, but b efore he went into the house, he made a short stop. He knew that the lawyer was famous for not paying his bills, even if they were due(正当的).He therefore said to the man. “But if I save your wife, I am afraid you may not pay me.”“Sir,” replied the lawyer. “Here I have＄500.Whether you cure my wife or you kill her, I'll give you all this.”The doctor was reassured(使安心) and went into the house. When he reached the woman's bedside, it soon became clear to him that he could do little. She was seriously ill, and though he prescribed(开药方) her medicine, she soon died.He told the lawyer he was very sorry, and then asked for the money which he had promised. “Did you kill my wife?” Ask ed the lawyer. “Of course I didn't.” said the doctor. “Well! Did you cure my wife?” asked the man. “I'm afraid that was impossible.” replied the doctor. “Well, then since you neither killed my wife nor cured her, I have nothing to pay you.”1. One day a lawyer’s wife fell ill, and the lawyer_____A. cured his wifeB. got a doctor for herC. got some medicine for her illnessD. pay＄500 to the doctor2. Before entering the lawyer’s house the doctor stopped for a while, because_____ .A. the doctor wanted to ask something about his wife's illnessB. the doctor thought it impossible to save the womanC. the doctor was afraid that the lawyer would refuse to pay himD. the lawyer was too poor to pay his bills3. Because the lawyer’s wife was seriously ill, the doctor_____A. couldn’t do much and didn't save her lifeB. tried his best and saved her at lastC. had to do everything he could for herD. had to spend a lot of time to cure her4. From the story, we know_____.A. the lawyer was very cleverB. how the lawyer's wife diedC. the doctor was stupid enough to be fooledD. the lawyer was dishonest and that he fooled the doctorBHow to improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They’ll say, “This is my destiny(命运). I cannot change it.”Of course not! You don’t have to suffer needlessly. Your life depends on you, not on other factors.I know a woman who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, and then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.Huh! Is this what she calls “doing her best”? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that has been intended for her and that her luck can only change if God wills(愿意) it. She hasn’t realized that we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.Remember that you harvest what you sow. You have to get off the sofa, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your ha nds off the phone (unless it’s helpful to your success), and get your mind and body to work! Don’t expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don’t just regard it as a temporary(暂时的) problem; Instead, learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It’s not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.If someone’s life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don’t just stand or sit there, do so mething to improve your life.5. According to the woman mentioned in Para. 3, her life ___________.A. doesn’t need improvingB. will be better some dayC. can’t improve itselfD. will be worse in the future6. What does the author think of the woman’s life?A. PositiveB. DisturbingC. ColorfulD.Negative (消极的)7. In Para.5, the author emphasized(强调)the importance of _________.A. positive thinkingB. positive actionC. hope for the bestD. intention to succeed8.The text is mainly written to advise you to ________.A. improve your lifeB. understand yourselfC. believe in yourselfD. change your normal wayCAbout ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green －a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These he lp us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attractinsects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way, human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.9. The passage is mainly about _____________.A. color and its surprising effectsB. women being luckier than menC. danger caused by color blindnessD. color blindness10. According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can_______________.A. tell different shapesB. see in a weak lightC. kill mosquitoesD. tell orange from yellow11. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?A. Women are more careful.B. There are fewer color-blind womenC. Women are fonder of driving than men.D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.12. Which of the statements about the color- blind is true?A. Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color.B. None of them can see deep red.C. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.D. All of them see everything in shades of green.DFrench lessons in FranceWhatever your level is, choosing to take French lessons in France is the best way to learn French.
