It’s a question that oftendoesn’t have an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes tohear the answer “Fine.”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. Thereason is that “How are you?” isn’t really aquestion and “Fine.”isn’t really an answer. They are simply other way of saying “Hello!”or “Hi!”.Sometimes, people also don’t say exactlywhat they me an. For example, when someone asks, “Do you agree?”, theother person might be thinking, “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong…”But it isn’t very polite to disagree strongly, so the other person might say “I’mnot sure…”. It’s a nice way to say that you don’t agree with someone.People also don’t say exactly what they arethinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talksover the phone finish when one person says “I’ve to go now.” Often,the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse,” Someone is at the door.”“Something is burning on the stove.” The excuses might be real, or itmight not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talkany more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and itdoesn’t hurt the other person.When they are greeting each other, talkingabout an idea, or finishing a talk, people often don’t say exactly what theyare thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other,and it’s also a part of the game of language.（1）When a person wants to disagree with someone, it is polite to say “___________”.A . You’re wrong. I disagree.B . I’m not sure.C . I’m sure I disagree.D . No, I disagree.（2）When a person says “I’ve to go now. Someone is at the door.”, heor she may be .A . giving an excuseB . hurting someone’s feelingC . talking to a person at the doorD . going to another place（3）One of the rules of the game of language is probably “____________”.A . Always say what you mean.B . Don’t disagree with people.C . Say exactly what you’re thinking.D . Being polite is the best policy.3. 阅读理解My boss’s daughter was studying in the Philippines. He asked me if my husband and I could take care of her. He thought his daughter would be able to improve her English communication skills in this way.After days of thinking, we agreed. He then brought her here and left after 3 days. I thought that my boss’s daughter was well-mannered, but that was wrong.After a month of staying in the Philippines, she started to show her true colors. When my husband asked her what she wanted for breakfast, she answered him in a rude way.From then on, we experienced fights at home. There was a time when we didn’t talk to her for a week as a punishment of not being good to us. What I hated most was that she didn’t care about other people’s feelings. She ate ahead of us when we were still working and didn’t leave anything for us. So we had to separate her food from ours to avoid such a problem.The worst thing about her was that she shouted at us. I was wondering if she did this to her parents. We told this to her parents, but unfortunately Ididn’t think that solved the problem. This situation lasted for almost 8 months. Our patience was tested during that time.We tried to teach her everything we could to make her a better person, but I guess 8 months may not be enough. We even tried to understand her and adjust for her, but it didn’t work. I just hope that she learned something from us and from other Filipinos.（1）Why did the boss want his daughter to stay with the writer?A . Because he was too busy to take care of his daughter.B .

The daughter tried her best to make others happy.（3）What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A . Being patient with her.B . Her parents punishing her.C . Telling her parents about her behavior.D . Asking her parents about her.（4）What is this passage mainly about?A . The writer’s experience of dealing with a teenage girl staying in her house.B . The writer’s experience of teaching a girl’s English.C . The writer’s experience of improving a girl’s communication skills.D . The writer’s experience of trying to please her boss.4. 阅读理解When to go:The Magic Kingdom, which was opened in 1971, was the first theme park at WaltDisney World.

But when 13-year-old Emmie Tallent whohas Down syndrome(唐氏综合征) didn’t make her school’s cheer squad(啦啦队), she responded in the most impressive way — she cheered anyway. Emmie Tallent, a girl with firm determination, took to the sidelines while her school’s cheer squad performed.

Thank you all for supporting her. I want to show the world Emmie’s joy from pursuing what she likes and the beauty of diversity.”The team did not have a lot of spots and even neurotypical(神经正常的) girls who were much better than Emmie didn’t make it to join it. Emmie’s school was giving Emmie help and kept encouraging her, but there are hard decisions that have to be made sometimes.

Today, she is one of “the lucky” living creatures in tree corridors(走廊) that have been created by volunteers to protect koalas and other animals by saving their quickly shrinking habitats, or natural environment.The corridors, planted by the local conservation group Bangalow Koalas, are made up of large systems of plants. They are intended for koalas and other animals like the glossy black cockatoos, possums, and wallabies. All of them are endangered, or at risk of becoming extinct. The corridors provide a safe path across the koala’s increasingly broken habitat. “Our corridors are actually trying to get them away from humans, from cars and from dogs,” said Linda Sparrow, president o f Bangalow Koalas. “They can safely move across the landscapes and don’t have to put up with us humans.”The koala is predicted to be extinct in the wild in New South Wales by 2050. Some of the biggest dangers include wildfires and habitat loss through land clearing for development. Koalas have already been declared endangered in several Australian states. A recent report by the Australian Koala Foundation said the animal was worth an estimated $3.2 billion per year to the tourism industry.Founded in 2016, Bangalow Koalas has planted over 936,000 trees on 119 properties, helping koala conservation and improving the local ecosystem. The group, which depends on community volunteers, aims to plant 500,000 trees by 2025. V olunteer Lindy Stacker, who has been planting trees for over five years, still remains devoted to the cause. She said the activity is good for mental health and has brought the community together. “I can’t imagine a world where there’s no koalas in the wild. We’re going to do everything we can possibly to make sure that won’t happen,” Lindy said.28. Who is Lucy?A. A farmer.B. A patient.C. A koala.D. A volunteer.29. What are the tree corridors intended to do?A. To shelter koalas from human threat.B. To test the local natural environment.C. To save koalas suffering from chlamydia.D. To stop koalas’ habitats from being rebuilt.30. What does the author want to show in paragraph 3?A. The reason for koa las’ extinction.B. Koalas’ value in tourism industry.C. People’s deep love for k oalas.D. The necessity of saving koalas.31. What can be the best title for the text?A. Bangalow Koalas: A Group Intended For KoalasB. Tree Corridors: A Lifeline For Endangered KoalasC. Bangalow Koalas: Call On V olunteers For Koalas’ ProtectionD. Tree Corridors: Responsible For The Loss Of Koalas’ HabitatsDDeep sleep doesn’t just rest your body. Scientists believe it’s also when the brain washes away toxins(毒素), with a new project looking at whether the brain’s self-clean can be boosted.South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) neuroscientist Dr Tim Sargeant has teamed with D r Edward Robins from SAHMRI’s Molecular Imaging and Therapy Research Unit to develop a brain scan that shows how well a brain is cleaning itself. Studies have shown that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia(痴呆).Scientists believe our brains clean themselves out each night when we enter deep sleep. Cerebrospinal fluid(脑脊液) is thought to wash through the brain, cleaning out toxins. Studies have shown a clear link between poor memory and toxins like the buildup of sticky plaques(黏性斑块) in the brains. Scientists believe brains that have a buildup of this plaque over time may not be cleaning themselves properly, putting people at risk of dementia.Fortunately, the hope is that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia. The brain scan will use special material to track how well the brain can keep itself clean and healthy through the process of removing and recycling its waste. “We’re aiming to catch the signs of the brain struggling to keep itself clean in individuals around the age of 50 or 60, well before the onset of Alzheimer’s dis ease(老年痴呆) in most people,” Dr Sargeant said.This new scan, an exciting imaging technology, will allow scientists to form a picture of a living brain and watch how it’s recycling wasting material in real time. “The scan takes out a lot of the guess work, by allowing scientists to see with their own eyes if they’ve hit the target or not,” Dr Robins said. “Without imaging, a researcher can get all the way up to the trial st age before realising they’r e at a dead end.”32. What is the aim of Dr Sargeant and Dr Robins’ developing the brain scan?A. To help people enter deep sleep.B. To reduce memory loss and dementia.C. To research how to remove sticky plaques.D. To study what the brain uses to clean itself.33. What may cause dementia according to the text?A. Not enough blood in the brain.B. Too frequent cleaning of the brain.C. The increase of cerebrospinal fluid.D. The gradual increase of sticky plaques.34. What does the underlined word “onset” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Worsening.B. Improvement.C. Beginning.D. Disappearance.35. What does Dr Robins think of the brain scan?A. It is quite effective.B. It is just imaginary.C. It brings more work.D. It is far from exact.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

安徽省芜湖市第一中学2021-2022学年高一下学期期中考试英语试卷

安徽省芜湖市第一中学2021-2022学年高一下学期期中考试英语试卷一、阅读理解The Children’s Library is currently offering pick-up service.

Likewise, all adults must be accompanied by a child.1．When can customers make a call to tell their requests?A．1: 00 a.m., Monday.B．10: 30 a.m., Monday.C．10: 30 a.m., Tuesday.D．11: 30 a.m., Thursday.2．What rules shall customers follow when visiting the library?A．Pay a fee to use an iPad.B．Offer programs for children.C．Take fewer than 15 family members.D．Drive to the staff-only parking lot.3．Where is this text most likely from?A．A notice.B．brochure.C．A newspaper.D．A webpage.When I was nine years old, I never dreamed that the small vending machine (自动售货机) I had owned would turn me into a small business owner. Wanting to inspire his daughter’ s business sense, my dad brought home a vending machine he had purchased from a friend. Setting it down in front of me in our living room, he asked in all seriousness, “Do you want to start a business?” I said yes.I owned 15 vending machines by the time I left high school, with all of the profits going toward my college fund. In addition to being a great bonding experience for my family, I couldn't tell you how many skills I learned from starting and developing my own business that helped me gain responsibility. I learned that not every experience in life led to the comforting encouragement: Well, you were tried. You should face bravely all kinds of difficulties.Understanding both personal and professional finances is one of the most important life lessons to learn—the earlier, the better. I had to be fearless and confident—learning these skills at a young age saved me from speaking with difficulty through presentations later in life. Truly understanding what you’re selling displays confidence and reliability, as does truly believing in it. Comprehending the ins and outs of your product and business shines through when speaking with clients though rejection (拒绝) happens all the time.Throughout the unbelievable experience of running my own business in my childhood, I’ve learned valuable skills that help me in my school, job and personal life. I believe in the value of customer service. I go after clients and chances and understand that sometimes things don’t go my way. With the help of my parents and customers who supported me, I grew up as a young entrepreneur with skills to keep for the rest of my life.4．Why did the author’s dad give her a vending machine?A．To earn her college fund.B．To raise her business awareness.C．To solve her friend’s financial problem.D．To remind her how hard it is for him to earn money.5．What does the author think of her experience of running vending machines?A．It was tough but worthwhile.B．It was scary but smooth.C．It distanced her from her family.D．It taught her how to refuse clients. 6．What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the author?A．Her attitude towards rejection.B．Her understanding of financial problems.C．Her insight into her business experience.D．Her vision of the future vending machines.7．What can we infer from the text?A．One can succeed without support.B．One is never too old to run the business.C．Abilities acquired at a young age are useful in the future.D．Customer needs are always consistent with the enterprise.The hit movie Notting Hill begins with a famous scene. Hugh Grant bumps into Julia Roberts and spills orange juice all over her. After the collision, Grant repeatedly says, “I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry.”His actions in this scene are very British. If Roberts’ character were from the Britain, then she would probably apologize repeatedly as well — even if the crash was not her fault. But this doesn’t happen in the movie, as Roberts is from the US.A report in The Telegraph once said that three quarters of British people apologize when they bump into someone in the street — regardless of whether they are responsible or not. In fact, Britons use “sorry” in many situations. For example, if they mishear someone, they say “Sorry?” The person they are talking to will also apologize by replying,“No,I am sorry!” This can go on for up to five minutes as if they were competing over who is the most sorry.Why are Britons so sorry? Mark Tyrell, a psychology writer in the UK, thinks that theirapologetic tendencies are rooted in British class system. “We say sorry because historically the new middle class in Britain had to apologize for not being the working class, but also for really being the upper class.” Another theory is that they apologize to avoid conflicts. For example, if they bump into someone, he might get angry. To avoid this, they instantly say “Sorry!”True manners are about being considerate,and today’s constant use of apologizing shows that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were.The word “sorry” has lost some of its meaning.Do you see my point? Sorry, it might just be a British thing.8．Why does the author mention a scene in the movie Notting Hill at the beginning?A．To give an example of British modesty.B．To introduce different ways of saying sorry.C．To show what kind of men are considered gentlemen in the UK.D．To draw our attention to when and how British people say sorry.9．Which of the following statements might Mark Tyrell agree with?A．People should not apologize if they are not responsible.B．Americans care less about manners than British people do.C．That British people apologize so much is linked to the class system.D．British people care too much about which social class they are from.10．What can be inferred from the passage?A．It’s unnecessary for British people to be so polite.B．The overuse of apologizing shows Britons are truly sincere.C．People should not stick to the traditional use of the word “sorry”.D．Using “sorry” more doesn’t necessarily mean people are more polite.11．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A．To show the best way of saying sorry.B．To explain why Britons overuse the word “sorry”.C．To show how saying sorry has changed over time.D．To suggest many British people lack traditional manners.A different kind of food service app is allowing loyal customers to buy restaurant food at alow price before it goes into the waste bin.Too Good To Go provides buyers with a bag of nearly wasted, but perfectly good food for takeaways as a way to cut back on food waste and help support the restaurant industry. Unlike other apps of a similar type that can allow customers to pick and choose which items they want to save, Too Good To Go offers only bags of whatever food the restaurants have. People will think it has a true enterprise spirit. The app is one of the several winners of Fast Company’s 2021 World Changing Ideas Award, which reports that 40% of the food in America is wasted.It’s impossible to know how much food really will end up in landfills(垃圾处理厂)，but it’s possible to know how many meals Too Good To Go has prevented from going there. Originally sold only in a few selected American cities, 200,000 meals have been sold, and these meals can be thrown into the garbage in a few hours. And over 1, 500 restaurants have signed up in cities like New York, Boston, and Los Angeles. At present, 150,000 orders are going out the door per day in 15 countries, across a user base of around 37 million people, saving incredible food waste.It is also easier for the restaurants to deal with the leftovers since it’s not likely to guess and predict what will be available at the end of any night. Decomposing food in landfills is a major source of methane, which can cause climate-related damage before completely decomposing after a decade.“We think we can save more than 2 million meals from the trash in the U.S. in 2021, avoiding thousands of tons of emissions.”said Lucie Basch, co-founder of Too Good To Go. 12．What is special about Too Good To Go?A．It provides buyers with a bag of leftover food for free.B．It allows customers to select whatever food they want.C．It limits consumers’ choices to the food the restaurants have.D．It is the only app winning 2021 World Changing Ideas Award.13．What can we do with the app installed?A．Find out the categories of the food wasted most.B．Figure out how much food will end up in landfills.C．Predict what food will be available in the restaurants.D．Prevent more meals being thrown into the garbage.14．What does the underlined word “Decomposing” probably mean in Paragraph 4?A．Cutting down.B．Breaking down.C．Turning down.D．Putting down. 15．What is the best title of the passage?A．An app reducing food wasteB．An app distributing optional foodC．An app causing climate-related damageD．An app promoting a true enterprise spiritTake Care of Your EyesMany of us don’t pay attention to the importance of eye care. It’s said that if you take care of your body, then you can be healthy. 16 Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.There are several reasons leading to poor eyesight like not enough food, gene (基因) and aging. 17 If you happen to work in front of the computer, it is best to take a rest every once in a while.Something dirty can lead to redness and they will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. 18 For example, sunglasses are not just fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays.Eating healthy foods will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitaminsA, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because exercise protects your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly and eats the right kind of food, 19 .20 Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person’s eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.A．What can you do to catch your eye?B．such behavior will do harm to our eyes.C．That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care.D．his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.E．All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes.F．You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful thing.G．Televisions, computers and reading are also the reasons of having poor eyesight.二、完形填空In my childhood, there were no smart phone s or computers. 21 , I never felt bored.

One day, he found three tiny lions beside a dead lioness. They were so little that their eyes had not yet opened. Sadly, he took the three little lions and drove back home.When George got out of the car with the baby lions, his wife Joy Adamson immediately took over. Joy had cared for many young animals over the years, but she had never tried to raise baby lions! However, she was determined to save these babies.The lions grew rapidly. But as the lion grew bigger and stronger, Joy and George realized they could not keep three large lions. They decided to present two of the lions to a zoo; they would keep the smallest lion, which they named Elsa.Joy and George taught Elsa to hunt and to protect herself. Elsa liked to play with her human friends, but as Elsa grew to her adult size, this play became dangerous. More than once, Elsa knocked Joy to the ground, scratching(抓伤) her. Joy and George both realized that it was time to find Elsa a new home. They knew she needed a wild home where she could live the life she was born to lead. Finally, Joy and George decided to set Elsa free in Meru Park at the foot of Mt. Kenya.Elsa never forgot Joy and George. Whenever they camped nearby, Elsa would come to visit, rubbing her head against their legs in greeting.Joy missed Elsa, but was happy that she had made a successful life as a wild lion. Joy wrote a book about Elsa, Born Free, which became an international bestseller. Joy traveled all over the world, talking about the importance of saving the wild animals of the world.Joy lived out her life in Africa, working with wild animals. She wrote more books about her experiences. Her heart felt interest in animals and her great love for Elsa helpedinspire(激发) a worldwide movement to protect wildlife.

George: a game wardenCThe lack of clues left behind by ancient Americans has made it difficult for researchers to determine precisely when humans first arrived on the continent. However, it has always been believed to be about 13,000 years ago. Now, evidence from the Chiquihuite Cave in Zacatecas, Central Mexico, seems to suggest that prehistoric humans may have been living in North America as early as 30,000 years ago.Dr Ciprian Ardelean, of the Autonomous University of Zacatecas, who led the groundbreaking research, first became aware of the cave in May 2010. Getting to the cave located 2,740 metres above sea level required a 45-minute truck ride to the base and an uphill climb over a rough terrain. However, Dr Ardelean and his team found enough clues to make the difficult journey three additional times-in 2012, 2016 and 2017.The archaeologists' efforts revealed many artefacts including over 1,900 stone tools from multiple layers of the cave. The scientists found that most of the tools were between 13,000 and 16,000 years old. However, 239 artefacts unearthed from the deepest layer of the cave dated back an astonishing 30,000 years!While the genetic material gained in the cave was only plant and animal DNA, the team did find evidence of sulphur, potassium and zinc elements that could indicate human activities such as killing animals. Dr Ardelean says the absence of human DNA confirms that the early people visited the cave for short periods of time.The researchers are unsure of the ancient humans' origins or the path they took to get to America. They guess the groups were tribes (部落) who moved from place to place and went extinct at some point during their migrations. Dr Ardelean says, “We don't know who they were, where they came from or where they went. They're a complete enigma. We falsely assume that the native populations in the Americas today are direct descendants from the earliest Americans, but now we don't think that is the case.” Archaeologist Loren Davis, from Oregon State University, is unsure that the artefacts recovered are tools. The researcher says, “If it's true that people were in Zacatecas 32,000 years ago, that changes everything-it more than doubles the time people have been in the Americas. I'm not going to say it's impossible, but if all they found are broken rocks without any hard evidence, it's natural for people to challenge the conclusion.”6．What did Dr Ciprian Ardelean do?A. He sold hundreds of artefacts.B. He explored the cave four times.C. He made the cave world-known.D. He collected artefacts from the cave.7．What shakes the traditional belief concerning North America?A. Metal elements unearthed from the cave.B. Plant and animal DNA discovered in the cave.C. The artefacts from the cave's deepest layer.D. The artefacts from the upper layers of the cave.8．What does the underlined word “enigma” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Problem.B. Breakthrough.C. Appeal.D. Mystery.9．In which column of a newspaper can we read this passage?A. Archaeology.B. Anecdote.C. Travel.D. Literature.DIn the waves of human exploration into space, our brave Chinese people have never stopped the pace of advancing. In just half a century, China has made remarkable space exploration success. After landing probes on the lunar and Martian surfaces, China has begun to set itsexploratory sights on the core of our solar system—the sun.Named Xihe after the sun goddess in ancient Chinese mythology, the 508-kilogramme Chinese H-Alpha Solar Explorer satellite was launched on Oct 14, 2021 from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Centre in Shanxi Province. It then entered a sun-synchronous orbit about 517 kilometres above Earth."The spacecraft is China's first space-based solar telescope and is designed to work for at least three years," Wang Wei, project manager of the satellite, told China Daily.Its scientific payload is an H-Alpha imaging spectrograph (成像光谱仪). The H-Alpha band is one of the best spectral lines to study solar activity, according to the Global Times. "The instrument is able to observe and record changes in the sun's physical elements like its temperature and speed, facilitating scientists' studies about the dynamics and physics during a solar eruption," Wang told China Daily.Several Chinese satellites, such as the Fengyun 3E meteorological satellite, have carried equipment that can collect solar data, but Xihe is the first one dedicated to solar observation. "Since solar activity has many effects on life on Earth, it is important for mankind to study the sun," Zhao Jian, a senior official at the China National Space Administration, told China Daily.Since the 1960s, NASA has sent dozens of solar orbiters to circle the sun, and in 2004, the Genesis spacecraft returned a sample of solar wind. The most recently launched solar mission was Parker Solar Probe in 2018. Europe and Japan also have solar missions, according to the South China Morning Post."Our country is ranked No. 2 in the world in terms of published research papers on solar observations, but all of the satellite-generated data used by our scientists are from foreign spacecraft," Zhao told China Daily. "Xihe will put an end to the dependence on foreign satellites, and we will share its products with researchers around the world."10．What do we know about Xihe?A. It is expected to work for five years.B. It is an estimated half-ton scientific research satellite.C. It is named after an ancient Chinese scientist.D. It is the world's first solar observation satellite.11．What is the main task of Xihe according to the text?A. To monitor changes in the sun's physical elements.B. To adjust the temperature and speed of the sun.C. To study how solar activity affects life on Earth.D. To observe other satellites around the sun.12．Why is it essential to do research on the sun?A. Our reliance on foreign satellites will come to an end.B. It helps scientists learn more about solar history.C. Solar eruptions may bring human beings disasters.D. Creatures on Earth are affected by solar activity.13．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. The advantages of the Xihe satellite.B. The significance of the Xihe mission.C. The development of China's space exploration.D. The ways scientists collect satellite-generated data.E14．The Taj MahalShah Jahan finished building the Taj Mahal in 1653.

Inspired, some parents bought classical CDs for their babies in the hope that this would boost their intelligence. But this so-called “Mozart Effect” has been challenged repeatedly.But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music? Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter? That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer. Some of their studies concluded that it does, and some found that it doesn’t. For example, one study showed that music education did not improve reading skills, while another one found a small effect of music on young children’s ability to learn words.The researchers of the new study, Giovanni Sala (Fujita Health University) and Fernand Gober (London School of Economics), looked at the data behind 54 carefully selected studies, andafter carefully comparing the data from different papers, they concluded that children who took music lessons did not score higher on tests that measure their intelligence or academic ability than kids that didn’t learn music.If music doesn’t make you smarter, how does that explain other research that shows that music lessons help students’ school performance? It seems like there is something about music lessons that makes students able to perform better in their other classes. That doesn’t have to be intelligence, and it’s likely not. Music lessons could have helped in different ways: They could have led to a change in homework habits, they could have increased confidence, or they could have improved social skills. And finally, they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subject if the music is combined with these classes. So feel free to keep making music, and keep encouraging children to learn music. 36．Which of the following words is closest to the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 2?A．Reduce.B．Improve.C．Understand.D．Influence. 37．What can we learn about the “Mozart Effect”?A．It is most likely to be ineffective.B．It was first presented by Mozart.C．It helps parents take good care of their children.D．It will draw more and more researchers’ attention.38．What does the example in Paragraph 3 show?A．Listening to music benefits kids a lot.B．Whether music education suits all kids remains unknown.C．Listening to music fail to help kids in language learning.D．Whether taking music lessons makes kids smarter is controversial (有争议的). 39．How did the researchers carry out the new study?A．They did 54 small studies in all.B．They observed children in music classes.C．They examined plenty of previous research.D．They did a long-term survey of musical students.40．What conclusion is made in the last paragraph?A．Music lessons should be encouraged for children.B．Intelligence determines one’s school performance.C．A student’s intelligence can be increased with effort.D．Students should avoid listening to music while studying.In the mornings, as I walked from the train station to the office, I planned my day by making a to-do list in my head: the scientific articles I would read, the data sets I would analyze, and most urgent of all — the insights into human nature that it was my job to discover.Each evening, I went back to the station, again going through my mental checklist but this time sizing up my performance against the expectations I’d set for myself that morning. Time and again, when comparing my to-do list with my got-done list, I felt frustrated because I had fallen short.But one day, something very strange happened. During my trip home, without any conscious intention, my thoughts began to change. Instead of feeling bad about my weaknesses, I said aloud very softly: I’m a nice person. I’m a nice person. I’m a nice person. By the time I boarded my train, I was done with my little chant until the next day when I walked home. And again, after counting my failures, I found myself saying quietly: I’m a nice person. It turns out that there’s a technical term for this practice: values affirmation (肯定). And what it emphasizes is recognizing and strengthening the personal values.When you affirm a core personal value, you raise your sense of self-worth. You broaden your outlook: Instead of focusing on your shortfalls, you switch to a wide-angle view that includes your resources and opportunities. And the people who do this are happier, healthier, and more hopeful. Overtime, I made progress in my research and learned a lot about what makes most successful people special, including this: Nobody has passion and determination unless what they do lines up with their values.Try values affirmation for yourself and teach the practice to your students. Take a moment and think of a value you hold, whether it’s kindness, creativity, or gratitude. Whatever it is, name it. And then say to yourself: Come what may, I know who I am. Your values are your foundation and your compass, too. Trust them, and they will lead you home.41．How did the author feel when comparing his to-do list with his got-done list at the beginning?A．Satisfied.B．Pleased.C．Disappointed.D．Unconcerned.42．What does the underlined words “sizing up”mean in Paragraph 2?A．Changing.B．Forming.C．Denying.D．Judging.43．The author affirmed his values by .A．strengthening a core personal value to himselfB．talking aloud to himself on his way homeC．counting his failuresD．making his to-do list44．What does values affirmation mean to people?A．It changes people’s focus to their shortcomings.B．It improves their sense of self-worth.C．It limits their resources and opportunities.D．It makes them more critical of themselves.45．What’s the author’s suggestion to readers?A．To constantly compare oneself to others.B．To improve one’s kindness and gratitude.C．To highlight values affirmation and spread the practice.D．To become successful with passion.阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

高一下学期期中考试英语试卷真题

高一下学期期中考试英语试卷一、阅读理解1. 阅读理解Rosie Dutton, a teacher from Relax Kids in Tamworth, UK, used two apples to show her students the often unseen but harmful effects of school bullying. She posted the lesson on Facebook, where it’s been shared more than 160,000 times.Rosie Dutton explained that during one of her classes she presented the children with two red apples. What the kids didn’t know was that before the lesson, she had repeatedly dropped one of the apples on the floor. And yet, on the outside at least, both apples looked perfect.“I picked up the apple I’d dropped on the floor and started to tell the children how I disliked this apple,” Dutton wrote. “I told them that because I didn’t like it, I didn’t want them to like it either, so they should call it names too.”Some of the children looked at her as if she were “crazy”, but the students passed the apple around the circle, calling it names.Continuing the exercise, the teacher then passed the second apple around the circle. This apple, however, was s howered with words like: “Your skin is beautiful,” and “ what a beautiful colour you have.”Dutton then showed thestudents both apples once again, stressing that “there was no change, and both apples still looked the same.”Finally, Dutton cut both apples open. The apple that the class treated kindly looked fresh inside. But the other apple—the one they’d treated poorly—was bruised（瘀伤的) beneath its skin.“I think there was a light bulb moment for the children immediately,” Dutton said. “When people are bullied, especially children, they feel horrible inside and sometimes don’t show or tell others how they are feeling. If we hadn’t have cut that apple open, we would never have known how much pain we had caused it.”Dutton explained how important it is to teach children to stand up for one another, and to stop any form of bullying.“Let’s create a generation of kind caring children,” the teacher wrote. “The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words.”（1）What had the teacher done to the first apple before the lesson?A . She had introduced it to the kids.B . She had coloured it brightly.C . She had made it look perfect.D . She had damaged it purposely.（2）What does the underlined part “calling it names”mean?A . Shouting at it.B . Making fun of it.C . Cheering for it.D . Saying rude things.（3）What did the teacher tell the kids to do with the second apple?A . Drop it.B . Praise it.C . Ignore it.D . Respect it.（4）What’s the purpose of the teacher’s us ing two apples in class?A . To draw the kids’ attention.B . To explain her personal preferences.C . To help the kids understand the results of bullying.D . To make a comparison between them.2. 阅读理解As I enter my 40s, I’ve noticed many of my parents’ gen eration think social networking is something they are simply unable to understand. They fear that, should they try, they will somehow get it wrong; they will say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing or behave in a way that causes embarrassment. But here’s t he first secret of social media: Everyone feels this way.I recently met a young actor who was complaining that her work demands that she join Microblog, but she always feels like she doesn’t have anything smart to say. It’s the same resistance I hear fro m the older generation, who, however, have somehow believed that age is the barrier, rather than the differences of personal taste.Here’s the second secret of social media: everybody uses it for more or less the same reasons. Older generations often sign up to stay in touch with children and relatives. We talk about this kind of communication like it’s some old-fashioned activity, but it is exactly why younger people use social media. The truth is that most people use social media to gently keep an eye on one another, to see how those they care about are doing without needing to ring them up on the phone every night.And this is the last secret of social media: everyone gets to use them in their own way. Newcomers—younger and older—who worry about “gettin g it right” are thinking that there’s a right way to get them. But actually there isn’t. Personally, I talk a lot on Microblog. And some people post nothing and they use social media every day as readers. Social media companies would rather see people decorating their networks with pictures and posts, butthere’s no rule against being a fly on the wall. It’s also a fine way to get involved.We’re quick to forget that the web wasn’t invented by 13-year-olds; it was created by today’s seniors. I’d never try forcing those with no interest in social networks to use Microblog. But don’t let the talk of age divides put you off. There’s nothing to stop the older generation from joining in the network their own generation created.（1）What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?A . To share with us his personal experience using social media.B . To free the old generation from fearing using social media.C . To explain why the old generation don’t use social media.D . To tell us a few secrets of social media that he discovered.（2）The expression “a fly on the wall” in the 4 th paragraph refers to _________.A . people who prefer reading online booksB . people who simply observe others’ postsC . people who cause trouble to other sD . people who post many fancy pictures（3）According to the author, which is a reason for old people’s fear using social media?A . They have no particular interest in social networking.B . They prefer staying in touch with relatives in real life.C . They believe they may be trapped in embarrassing situations.D . They have no idea which contents to post online.（4）Which of the following may best describe the structure of this passage?A .B .C .D .3. 阅读理解I don’t ev er want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There wasa time in my life when people kept asking me stories about what it’s like to work in a field under the control of men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the existence of the universe, the shape of space time and the nature of black holes.At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the problem started to bother me. My every achievement—jobs, research papers, awards—was viewed from the angle of gender politics. So were my failures.Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would finally become my reply to any and all provocations: I don’t talk about that any more. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender pr oblems. Why should removing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my classwere women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t take no notice of those c oncerns. Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have given them this: the scene of their physics professor heavily pregnant that the author presents to her students suggest?A . Women can balance a career in science and having a family.B . Women have more barriers on their way to academic success.C . Women students needn’t have the concerns of her generation.D .

Try these four methods on a daily basis.1）. Don’t think a lot about negativity.Of course. Staying positive 24 hours a day, seven days a week is a bit difficult. Letting things get to you is normal, and it’s actually healthy to cry or express frustrations once in a while.It’s when those negative moments control your life that your emotional balance is at risk. ________ However, don’t give that sadness another second in your day.2）. ________What you put into your body directly affects how you feel on the outside. Fill yourself with good, healthy foods like fruits and vegetables and limit snacking. Exercise is equally of great importance. Take a few days out of your week for at least half an hour of activity, and try to stick to it. ________ 3）. Be kind to others.________ Making someone’s day a bit brighter not only puts a smile on his or her face, but also yours as well. Remember to smile and treat each person with pity and respect. Good deeds are contagious（传染的）, and your positive attitude may spread among others.4）. Take it one day at a time.Being positive isn’t an instant thing. It’s a steady effort that we follow every hour of every day. ________ Instead, focus on living at the moment and doing what you can to make each moment better.A.Eat healthy and stay fit.B.Take your lunch breaks outside.C.Don’t worry about what the future may bring.D.Gratefulness helps you appreciate life in bad times.E.Good feelings come from acts of kindness and selflessness.F.Take a few minutes to feel sad and accept what happened.G.Even going outside for a walk and enjoying the sunshine improves your mood.四、单词拼写6.

Breathtaking scenery.BWhen Belquer first joined a team to make a better live music experience for deaf and hard-of-hearing people, he was struck by how they had developed more solutions to enjoy concerts. "What they were doing at the time was holding balloons to feel the vibrations（震动）through theirfingers," Belquer said. He thought the team could make something to help hard-of-hearing people enjoy live music even more with the technology now available.Belquer, who is also a musician and theater artist, is now the "Chief Vibration Officer" of Music: Not Impossible, which uses new technology to address social issues like poverty and disability access. His team started by tying different vibrating cell phone motors to bodies, but that didn't quite work. The vibrations were all the same. Eventually, they worked with engineers to develop a light haptic （触觉的）suit with a total of 24 vibrating plates. There are 20 of them tied to a undershirt that fits tightly around the body like a hiking backpack, plus one that ties to each wrist and ankle, When you wear the suit, it's surprising how it feels.The vibrations are mixed by a haptic DJ who controls the location, frequency and intensity of feeling across the suits, just as a music DJ mixes sounds in an artful way. "What we're doing is selecting and mixing what we want and send it to different parts of the body," said the DJ. The haptic suits were just one component of the event. There were American Sign Language interpreters; the music was displayed on a screen on the stage.The suits are the star attraction. Lily Lipman, who has auditory processing disorder, lit up when asked about her experience. "It's cool, because I'm never quite sure if I'm hearing what other people are hearing, so it's amazingto get the music in my body."4. What surprised Belquer about people with hearing problems?A. The attitude they held to life.B. The way they enjoyed music.C. The love they had for balloons.D. The frequency they vibrated fingers.5. Why did the team's initial attempt fail?A. The vibrations lacked variety.B. The vibrations were irregular.C. The motors were the same.D. The motors hardly worked.6. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about?A. Displaying music on the stage.B. Selecting proper suits for participants.C. Mixed methods helping people feel the music.D. Interpreters with excellent sign language skills.7. What does Lily Lipman think of the suit?A. It's comforting.B. It's challenging.C. It's satisfying.D. It's disturbing.CA team in Norway recently conducted in-depth research on writing by hand and typing on a keyboard.The team invited 36 university students who had to either write or type words displayed on a screen. The study participants used a digital pen to write in cursive （草书）on a touchscreen, and they used one finger on a keyboard to type. The researchers used a special cap with 256 sensors. This cap was worn by the students, and their brain activity was recorded for five seconds each time they were asked to write or type."We show that when writing by hand, brain connectivity patterns are far more complex than when typewriting on a keyboard," says Professor Audrey van der Meer, the team leader. "Such widespread brain connectivity is known to be important for memory formation and for encoding （编码）new information and, therefore, is beneficial for learning." The researchers also note that even though the participants used digital pens for writing in the study, they believe the findings would be similar if the participants used an ink pen and paper."We've shown that the differences in brain activity are related to the careful forming of the letters when writing by hand while making more use of the senses. Since it's the movement of the fingers carried out when forming letters that promotes brain connectivity, writing in print also has similar benefits for learning as cursive writing," Audrey adds. "This also explains why children who have learned to write and read on a tablet can have difficulty differentiating between letters that are mirror images of each other, such as 'b' and 'd'. They haven't felt with their bodies what it feels like to produce those letters."Considering handwritten note-taking is becoming less common in educational settings, the researchers advocate for more opportunities for students to write by hand. "There's some evidence that students learn more and remember better when taking handwritten lecture notes, while using a computer with a keyboard may be more pragmatic when writing a long text or essay," Audrey concludes.8. What was the special cap used to do?A. Measure the participants' brain activity.B. Evaluate the participants' writing styles.C. Tell the participants when to write or type.D. Record the time the participants used to write.9. What does paragraph 3 focus on about the study?A. Its backgrounds.B. Its equipment.C. Its outcomes.D. Its process.10. What plays the key role in strengthening brain connectivity?A. Writing letters carefully by hand.B. Forming the habit of taking notes.C. Recognizing letters' mirror images.D. Learning to practice cursive writing.11. What does the underlined word "pragmatic" in the last paragraph mean?A. Difficult.B. Traditional.C. Special.D. Practical.DWhen I stepped into the Samcheong Park Library in Seoul, I saw the future. The simple building had a nice selection of books and a cafe where readers could enjoy coffee while gazing at the leaves outside. It was specifically designed without any latest technology."What's so innovative about that?" a librarian in Toronto asked when I showed her pictures. Innovation to her meant digital technology, like 3D printers. "Why couldn't they both be innovative?" I asked.We are constantly told that innovation is the most important force in our economy, without which we would be left behind. But that fear of missing out has led us to fall into the false trappings of innovation over truly innovative ideas that may be simpler and more effective. This mindset implies that if you just buy the new thing, you have innovated! Each year, businesses and individuals run around like broken toy robots, trying to figure out their strategy for the latest buzzword equipment.At best, this is a waste of resources. Devices are bought, used and abandoned, as the technology's capabilities fall short of its promise. But at its worst, this approach can truly cause damage. Schools cut field trips to purchase tablets with few proven benefits. Companies that applied AI into hiring have actually strengthened gender and racial prejudices.True innovation isn't just some magic devices. It is a continuing process of reflection and reassessment, which often means adopting "old" ideas and tools in a new context, or even returning to methods that worked in the past. Adjusted properly, these rearview（后视的）innovations have proved as transformative as novel technologies.Look no farther than the streets of New York, which have been redesigned recently to accommodate cyclists with car-free zones. The idea isn't new. It was created half a century ago, with the aim of bringing cities back to their residents. And while e-reader sales have been exploding, Penguin just announced it would publish tiny printed books, an ideal solution for a market demanding both convenience and physicality.12. Which of the following best describes Samcheong Park Library?A. Dull but convenient.B. Simple but refreshing.C. Old-fashioned but cozy.D. Unexceptional but spacious.13. What can we learn about innovation from Paragraph 3?A. Its true meaning is to buy new things.B. It is important for the growth of economy.C. It shouldn't involve simple and effective ideas.D. Its true meaning has been misread by the public.14. Which statement will the author probably agree with?A. Magic devices encourage innovation.B. Innovation should be human-centered.C. The power of technology is undervalued.D. Wasting resources are a must for innovation.15. What is the writing purpose of the text?A. To introduce some best ideas about innovation.B. To show that future lies in returning to the past.C. To convince people of the true meaning of innovation.D. To stress the important role innovation plays in economy.第二部分阅读七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
