四川省宜宾市一中2018-2019学年高中英语上学期第4周周练题I. 阅读理解(本大题共8小题,共16分)AInstagram is a fast,beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends and family.Take a picture or video,choose a filter to transform its look and feel.and then post to Instagram—it's that easy.You can even share to Facebook,Twitter and more.It's a new way to see the world.So many photos of food are contained on Instagram.Now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.I always thought people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly,but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK,I'd probably do it too."The Picture House"is the world's first pay-by-photo restaurant.You order,click a photo of the food,share on Instagram and eat for free!The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant(巨人)Birds Eye,who came up with the idea to cash in on people's addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online.They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals.So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.The pop-up diner was open in Soho,London for three days in May,and is now moving to other major UK cities.They serve two-course meals that customers don't have to pay for,if they photo and Instagram it.The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye's"Food for Life"campaign,a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food."Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments-from the everyday to the special,"said marketing director Margaret Jobling.The reaction to the Picture House has been great so far. And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way.Alternative payment methods are actually gaining in popularity among a lot of businesses.Last year in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there,not by what they eat.1. Instagram probably is ______ .A. a program used to share photosB. a campaign of "Foodfor Life"C. a restaurant free of chargeD. a newmarketing project2. What's the author's attitude to this new trend?______A. ConfusedB. InterestedC. OpposedD. Unconcerned3. “The Picture House”encourages sharing photos of its food to ______ .A. raise the price of frozen foodB. create a newsocial media trendC. attract more customersD. reward theregular customers4. Which of the following can serve as the best title for thepassage?______A. Food forLifeB. The Pop-up DinerC. No Need toPayD. Pay by Picture.BThe Masai are a people who are constantly trying to preserve their own ways in an increasingly modern world. They live along the border of Kenya and Tanzania, moving their homes from time to time to follow their cattle, the source of their living.The Masai have become known as a people of fighters, protecting their cattle against lions and other enemies. Only men are fighters. They wear long hair, which is colored red with clay. They can have more than one wife. Women build and take care of the home, fixing food and making clothing. Women and children keep their heads shaved. Women can also become elders, once they have given birth to four healthy children.The Masai depend on their cattle for many parts of their life. They drink cow's milk and blood as a sacred drink. They use the cows' waste to cover and seal their homes. They don't kill their cattle for food, but if a cow is killed, then the horns (角) are used for containers; the hides are used to make shoes, clothing, ropes and bed coverings; and the bones are made into decorations.The more cattle a man owns, the richer he is considered to be. A man who owns50 or fewer cattle is considered poor. A "rich" man has a thousand or more. The cattle,though owned by the man, are considered to belong to the man's entire family. The family names the cattle and can recognize each animal's unique voice.Masai houses are made from sticks and grass, but they are meant to be temporary, since the move of their cattle means that the Masai move as well.5. What is Masai women's daily work at home?A. They protect the cattle from being hunted.B. They give birthto babies and bring them up.C. They look after as well as name their cattle.D. They mainlydeal with various housework.6. When do the Masai move from one place to another?A. They move when they have over a thousand cattle.B. They move once there are 4 children in the family.C. They move when their cattle need new food sources.D. They move after their houses are not strong enough.7. What does the underlined word "elders" in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Agedcitizens.B. Respected people.C. Bravefighters.D. Wealthy hostesses.8. It can be inferred from the text that .A. the Masai raise cattle mainly for their meatB. lions are theprimary enemies of the MasaiC. the Masai are living a life in a modern wayD. the total of Masai'scattle decides their statusII. 七选五(本大题共5小题,共10分)You might have already read up on how to be cool,but you might be wondering:how I apply that in school.9Get clean.One of the easiest things you can do for your popularity is staying fresh and smelling good.Take showers regularly,and brush yourteeth.10 You'll look more attractive,whether you're a guy or a girl,too.11 Take a few minutes in the morning to style your hair however youthink it looks best.If you don't like your hair currently,get it cut.Your hairstylist will be able to tell you what kind of cut will look good with the shape of your face.Pay attention to your clothes.Make sure you walk out of the door with a look you know you like.Are your clothes clean?Do they match?12 You just have to be confident and the rest of the world may just be fooled.Let your personality shine through your look. 13 Your own sense of style will attract schoolmates who also have their own sense of style.A.Care about your own personality-not about being a follower.B.Style your hair every day.C.Get your hair cut regularly.D.It is easier than you ever imagined.E.Make sure you feel confident in them.F.It's also necessary to wash your face regularly.G.Being cool is also about being a leader,actually.III. 完形填空(本大题共20小题,共30分)It was the second time that I had been to the hospital.14 it was a weekday,there were still lots of people there,which 15 me at first.Most of us live healthy lives,so perhaps we never realize that there are so many people 16 pain and torment.As I walked along the hallway,I saw a variety of people and felt many things 17 through my mind.I heard a small laugh of joyand 18 my head to see what had happened.A woman was standing in the hallway,saying to her husband, “ 19 is okay!

四川省宜宾市一中2018-2019学年高中英语上学期第8周周练题第一部分:完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)Before my year abroad, everyone advised me to say “yes” to everything. They weren’t 1 . However, here in Germany, “I don’t mind” doesn’t seem to be an acceptable 2 . Neither does “I’ll do whatever you want to do” nor “Really, either way is fine by me”. It really is 3 yes or no.Despite having a huge smile on your face, most Germans will look at you 4 you’re unable to make a 5 , which of course isn’t true; we’re just being really typically British. My first encounter of this was whenI 6 the hotel for my first two nights in Germany. The 7 asked when I would like my breakfast in the morning. Being typically British, I replied saying whenever was 8 for her. She gave me a(n) 9 look and asked again.“No, when do you want to have 10 ? Er, OK ... err .... 8 am?”she smiled and I 11 quickly, “Only if that is 12 for you though.”I knew about the British stereotype (模式化的形象) of 13 before I came abroad. However, I didn’t 14 how much truth there was to it until I arrived here and began experiencing it on a day-to-day basis. 15 give you funny looks in restaurants if you say thank you repeatedly when they 16 all kinds of services. But that’s only right for the British. For everyone else, being so polite is totally 17 .And when it comes to me 18 questions, it’s even worse. “Would you be able to do that for me if it’s not too much trouble, please?” just doesn’t work here. You have to be 19 and say what you want. The first time I said “Pass that here”, my heart was 20 and I could almost hear my mum screaming in my head about manners.1.

AEvery one of us has been hurt by others –either by their words or actions. In those moments, you may feel so much anger that you want to hurt the other person too.But we all know that revenge(报复) doesn’t get us anywhere. So, in order to live a happy life, the best way to deal with the problem is, perhaps, as the old saying goes, to “forgive and forget”.The wisdom of this saying has even been proven in scientific studies. “It is well established that learning to forgive others can have positive benefits for one’s physical and mental Health,”Saima Noreen, a scientist at the University of St Andrews, Uk, told the Huffington Post.And now, Noreen and her research team may have found one more reason that you should stick to this principle –forgiving somebody who has hurt you makes it easier for you to forget the unhappy memory, according to their new study.In the study, researchers asked volunteers to read descriptions of 40 different situations that contained bad actions such as stealing, lying and cheating. Volunteers then had to decide whether they would be able to forgive the person if they were the victims.Two weeks later, volunteers took part in a memory test. In the test, they were shown a series of words related to the situations they’d read about and were asked to recall certain ones and forget others.The results showed that people were less likely to remember the details of the unpleasant experiences if they had found forgiveness in their hearts. In contrast(相比之下),if they hadn’t forgiven the mistake, they could always recall what had happened, even if they were told to forget it.According to Noreen, our abilities to overcome strong emotions against someone and to deliberately(刻意地) forget about bad memories are linked to the same mechanism(构造)in our brains. And it might be this mechanism that connects forgiveness to forgetting.33.The underline word “recall”in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ______.A. translateB. focusonC. remember D. explain34.Which of the following is the right order of the study mentioned above?a. Take a memory test.b. Imagine being a victimc. Decide whether to forgive or not.d. Read descriptions of 40 different situations.A. d-b-a-cB. d-b-c-aC.a-d-b-c D. a-b-d-c35.What have Noreen and her research team found recently?A. Forgiving helps us to forget unhappy memories.B. Forgiving is good for our physical and mental health.C. Forgiving when others once hurt you could help you live a happier life.D.A certain mechanism in our brains connects forgiveness to forgetting.第二节:七选五It’s a common situation to start a day ---- you struggle to get out of bed in the morning, feeling tired and weak.You’re not alone. As a recent article in The Huffington Post point out, today so many of us struggle with not getting enough sleep that we become really tired. 36 So, we are “t’wired”---- tired and wired (极度兴奋的) at the same time.It is a “relentless(无休无止的) lifestyle”, according to The Huffington Post. We are lost in information and entertainment choices. 37 We are walking, talking, typing and thinking faster and faster.38 -- how to truly rest, noted Rubin Naiman, a writer for Psychology Today magazine. “We commonly confuse rest with having fun. Catching a movie, going dancing or watching a TV show may be enjoyable and refreshing (放松的) --- but they’re not true rest,”he said.39First slow and then stop, suggested The Huffington Post. We should “turn off the cell phone and computer before going to bed.”Said the Daily Mail.40 We need to do “a daily practice such as meditation(冥想), yoga or breathing exercises that slow the body and mind”, said Naiman.“In a world gone mad with high speed, practicing true rest is a subversive(颠覆性的) act,”noted The Huffington Post. It invites us to march to a different drum, to the beats of nature.A. True rest is about finding a state of inner peace.B. We often run after fame and ignore people around us.C. We feel a need to always be active and productive.D. You can’t imagine how much fun true rest can bring us.E. So how can we become less tired and more well-rest?F. But, the problem is, too many of us have forgotten how to rest.G. Meanwhile, our fast modern lifestyle drive us to feel wide awake.第二部分完形填空(共20小题;每小题1. 5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后所给各题四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AI have a fear of the dark. When I am out camping with my friends, I can hardly sleep because I’m so freaked out. What can I do?— JackOh man, I was the same way when I was a kid! As I got older, I got over it, but if you aren’t there yet, try these tips. Firstly, try to think about what frightens you, and try to reason with yourself. Then think about pleasant things before you go to bed. Besides, you could keep a small flashlight (手电筒) close to you, and put your sleeping bag over it so it gives off a weak light.— SteveKeeping a flashlight nearby is a great idea. I like to read before going to bed to help clear my mind of worries. Just avoid readin g anything that’s frightening!— JennySome of my friends make fun of me because I’m terrified of heights. What can I do to get over this fear?— JaneFor this question, I introduce a method called “flooding”, by which you face your fear head on. In your mind, imagine going to the top of a building, starting on the lowest floor and making it up to higher floors, one at a time. By the time you get to the top floor, you should feel relaxed! This will help you get over your fear of heights.— SteveI completel y understand; heights aren’t my friend either. And we’re not alone. It’s very common. What has helped me is to take a few deep breaths. It immediately relaxes me.— Jenny21. The underlined words “freaked out” are closest in meaning to “_____”.A. hungryB. surprisedC. afraidD. excited22. Both Steve and Jenny advise Jack to _____.A. use a flashlightB. read before bedC. think about pleasant thingsD. find out what frightens him23. According to Steve, Jane should _____.A. climb stairs every dayB. have a great imaginationC. go to the top of a buildingD. try to treat herself for fear24. How does Jenny feel about Jane?A. Sorry.B. Angry.C. Confident.D. Doubtful.BOnly humans speak using words. But all animals can communicate in one way or another. Maybe you have heard about the way bees dance around to send messages to each other and the way dogs bark in different ways to give warnings.But did you know about infrasonic (次声的) communication? This is how it works:Humans hear low sounds like thunder rumbling (雷声轰鸣) in the sky. But we don’t hear sounds lower than these. However, elephants can hear much lower sounds, and they use them to communicate with each other. This is known as infrasound.Another amazing thing about infrasound is that it travels over several kilometres. Sounds which have a higher pitch (音调), like the ones people can hear, don’t travel well through walls, leave s, trees, and so on, which is why we can’t hear sounds from more than100 metres away. But infrasound is much ‘stronger’, and things like grass and trees have no effect on it. Therefore it can travel much further. Elephants can hear infrasonic calls from four kilometres away!There have been reports of people watching elephants feeding or resting and then the elephants suddenly all ran away for no reason at all. They obviously heard a warning call from a long way away, but the people didn’t hear a sound. In places like a zoo or wildlife park where you can get nearer to animals, it is a bit easier to sense when infrasonic sounds are made. When you stand near mother elephants with their babies in a zoo you may notice a weak rumbling in the air every few minutes — not loud or strong, but clearly noticeable. This is infrasonic communication —the mother elephants ‘talking’ to their babies!25. Why does the author mention bees and dogs in Paragraph 1?A. To show humans are special.B. To introduce animal communication.C. To compare different kinds of animals.D. To tell us an interesting story about animals.26. We can learn from the text that infrasound _____.A. belongs to high soundsB. can travel long distancesC. is higher than the sound of thunderD. gets weaker when traveling through walls27. What can we infer from the reports in the last paragraph?A. The people watching also heard the warning call.B. Humans can hear lower sounds than elephants can.C. The elephants were frightened by the people closeby.D. Elephants communicate in a way that people cannot hear.CThe good news is that there’s probably a show for you. You could sing and dance to get a part in a musical. If you can cook, you might win your own restaurant, or you could invent something amazing and get rich. If you don’t actually know how to do anything, you could just let viewers watch you live in a big house, and hope you are chosen to be the most popular resident (住户).There are more exciting shows, though. How about a race around the world for $1 million? In the US show The Amazing Race, eleven pairs of contestants (竞争者) race around the world and have to complete different tasks on the way. These include the ‘ordinary’ (playing volleyball), the ‘personal’ (shaving your head), and the ‘dangerous’ (bungee jumping). The pairs are allowed to decide how to get to their destinations —by car, train, boat, plane or bus — but they are not allowed to ask for help or use mobile phones.This kind of show is not exactly new, so what makes us keep watching? Well, what is different about The Amazing Race is that the contestants know each other. There are married couples, best friends and family members. Just like in real life, people who are close argue when they are worried. This is what makes the show successful.The contestants (and sometimes the producers) don’t know exactly what’s going to happen next. Some pairs really come together in these situations, while others completely fall apart. This is all a little more r eal than most ‘reality’ shows.28. The first paragraph tells us _____.A. shows are usefulB. shows are everywhereC. shows help people get happyD. shows are changing people’s lives29. According to the text, The Amazing Race _____.A. gives a lot of money to each pairB. allows the contestants to use phonesC. provides no transportation for the contestantsD. asks the contestants to do different kinds of tasks30. Why does The Amazing Race enjoy great popularity?A. It’s more like real life.B. It is a race around the world.C. There are fights between couples.D. The contestants are famous people.31. The author wrote this text mainly to _____.A. introduce The Amazing RaceB. speak highly of TV producersC. encourage people to watch TV showsD. ask people to join The Amazing RaceDOver 30 years ago Patricia C. Wright, a Brooklyn social worker, was on her way to a Hendrix concert when she entered a pet shop and found an owl m onkey. “I looked into his eyes and realized there was a connection there,” Wright said. That connection led to a huge life change.In the 1960s, it would have seemed improbable, if not impossible, that Wright would start her career as a primatologist (灵长类动物学家). But she bought that pet shop monkey, Herbie, and watching him excited Wright’s interest in monkeys. On her own, she went to the Amazon rainforest to find a partner for Herbie.Without any training, Wright published a paper in a science magazine but realized she needed a degree and went to graduate school. After graduating with a Ph.D. from the City University of New York in 1985, Wright worked at the Duke Lemur Center in Durham, N.C. There, her adviser suggested she go to Madagascar and try to find the greater bamboo lemur (大竹狐猴), a species thought to have died out. The environment of the island had been destroyed. People there led a poor life. Lemurs weren’t national treasures but a sometime source of meat.In 1991, her efforts led to the creation of Ranomafana National Park. And then she created the Centre ValBio project, which not only protects the lemurs, but also provides benefits in the form of jobs and improved health care.Her influence on the island is everywhere. The national park has created an eco-tourism industry, which in turn has created jobs and improved the standard of living. Her efforts have led to a worldwide movement to save the lemurs, so in May, 2014, Wright became the first woman to win the famous Indianapolis Prize, an award given to a scientist every two years for saving animal species.32. What made Wright become a primatologist?A. Her adviser’s advice.B. Her visit to a pet shop.C. Her visit to a concert.D. Her work in Brooklyn.33. What was happening to the greater bamboo lemurs before Ranomafana National Park wasset up?A. They were well protected there.B. They had different food sources.C. They got along well with people.D. They were in danger of disappearing.34. It can be inferred from the text that Wright’s work in Madagascar _____.A. reduced the villagers’ incomeB. improved the local food qualityC. helped set up the Indianapolis PrizeD. was very popular with the local people35. What is the text mainly about?A. Patricia C. Wright and what she did.B. The importance of protecting lemurs.C. The discovery of greater bamboo lemurs.D. The creation of the Centre ValBio project.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ASundays, I walk to the supermarket. Mother hands me the grocery list and puts money in my pocket, hoping it will be enough. She's had a hard day, and I've had a hard week. Nothing out of the ordinary happens when I get to the store. I grab the bread, some milk, and other things on the list. As I turn to head out, I see a beautiful dress in the window.I turn away, bitter that I could never own such a dress.Outside, I cannot stop thinking about that pretty dress. It's not fair that I cannever have what I want. I work so hard to help my family and yet I get nothing in return, just another list to do. In my anger, I fail to realize the apples are rolling (滚动)across the road. Suddenly, I see a pair of hands, offering me an apple. Looking up, I see the tanned (晒黑的) face of this stranger. His clothes are mismatched, borrowed or stolen. But his eyes are soft and kind.“Thanks,” I say. No other words are spoken as he continues to help me. I tell him “thank you” one more time and am on my way because I have many other things to finish. Suddenly, he says, “Have a good day, ma'am.” And then he gives me the biggest smile I have ever seen. Right then, he looks years younger — and I feel a fool.Look at me, feeling sorry for myself because I don't get what I want! Do I not think others are in the same boat, or worse? There are worse things than not having a beautiful dress.My mother will hand me the list today. I will make the same journey and probably see something I want but cannot have. But before I start to feel sorry for myself, I will remember the kind stranger with the big smile, and I will grab the last item (物品), and check out.21. What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph?A. She is rushing to get home.B. She comes from a poor family.C. She never buys herself new clothes.D. She enjoys doing the family shopping.22. Why does the author feel angry as she walks home?A. Her apples drop on the road.B. She gets nothing for her effort.C. She is expected to do too much.D. Her family pay little attention to her.23. The author speaks very few words to the man because _____.A. she thinks he is a bad manB. she has never met him beforeC. she is in a hurry to do other workD. she doesn't like the way he's dressed24. What's the best title for the text?A. A difficult daily jobB. Learn to understandC. My greatest influenceD. Save money for the futureBOne part of the world is still largely unexplored (未经探索). It is the deep sea. Over the years, many people have explored under the sea. But the first deep-sea divers (潜水员) wanted to find sunken treasure. They weren't really interested in studying the creatures of life there. Only recently have they begun to learn some of the mysteries of the sea.It's not easy to explore the deep sea. A diver must have a way of breathing underwater. He must be able to protect himself from great pressure (压力). The pressure of。

The remaining lions are increasingly threatened by habitat loss, hunting and activities to protect farms and cattle.For generations, Masai tribesmen on the large African plains in southeastern Kenya have hunted lions—to protect their farms and cattle. Today they celebrate the lions’ life.Noah is an elder in the Masai community. “We have decided as a community of the Masai to lay down our spears, and there will be no more killing of lions in our community.”Conservation International’s Frank Hawkins explains, “The Masai have been living with wildlife for many generations and it has been a conflicting relationship in many ways. They compete with the animals for food as lions eat their cattle. We’re trying to find ways in which the wildlife will become something useful to them. ”They had the Predator Compensation Fund founded in 2003. After much discussion, a group of Masai farmers agreed to protect lions. In turn, if lions or other predators kill their cattle, the Masai owners will be paid market value for the dead animals from the fund.One man said that in the past, when a lion killed cattle, they killed it on the spot. And now, after the start of the program, the Masai see the lion population growing. Since 2003, only four lions have been killed here, but up to now, the number of the lions hasn’t increased quickly.21. Why did Masai tribesmen kill lions before 2003?A. Because they wanted lions’ meat.B. Because they wanted to protect their farms and cattle.C. Because lions were dangerous for people there.D. Because dead lions were worth a lot of money.22. In 2003, the Predator Compensation Fund was founded .A. to help the Masai protect their farms and cattle.B. to protect people in the wild.C. to protect the wildlife.D. to protect lions only.23. How do you find the Masai?A. Mean.B. Stupid.C.Cruel. D. Reasonable.24. What is this passage mainly about?A. Lions and theMasai.B. The wildlife in the world.C. The living ways of theMasai. D.

D二、阅读理解One and a half years ago, my friend and I separately received an invitation to our best friend's wedding. Then we both decided to go to the nearby town to attend the wedding and come back together. After the reception was over, we were waiting for a public transport bus to go back home. It was nine o'clock at night, and although many buses passed, none stopped.We waited for an hour and were getting desperate. We wouldn't be able to stay overnight because it was weekday, and we both needed to work the next day. It was almost 10 p.m. when a family who had attended the same wedding passed by in their car. Probably sensing that we were waiting for some means of transport, they stopped and gave us a lift.I was so touched by their kindness, and I expressed my gratitude to them.When we reached my hometown, the family dropped us at the nearest point from where we could catch a shared taxi to get back to the spot where we had parked our bike. On the way, a laborer stopped the taxi. The driver saw his clothes and asked him whether he had money to pay the fare.The laborer shook his head and said, "No".On hearing this, the driver refused to take him.I remembered my own trouble a few minutes earlier, and I told the driver to allow him to sit with us, as I would pay his fare. What an immediate opportunity to pass on the family's act of kindness! That night, I felt lightness in my heart, and I went to sleep happily and filled with joy about what I had gotten to do. How I wish this chain of kindness could continue all over the world with your help! That is why today I especially share my story with you!21. How did the author and his friend get to their hometown?A. By taking a taxi.B. By walking.C. With the help of a laborer.D. With the help of a family.22. The reason why the driver permitted the laborer to get in at last is that .A. the driver showed mercy on the laborerB. the laborer finally agreed to pay his own fareC. the author promised to pay the laborer's fareD. the driver dislikes to take another passenger23. The author writes the passage mainly in order to .A. make such act of kindness spread in the worldB. make people remember a moving story foreverC. tell what shall people pay attention to in the wedding答案21. D 22. C 23. A三、短文改错I prefer my English classes to be taught in English only. What we all know, a good learning environment is of greatly importance if we want to study English well. Classes teaching in English provide students for a better environment. When English is an only language in class, students will have more opportunity to practiselistening and speaking. However, there were problems with this method. Sometimes we may find difficult to follow the teacher and some slow learners may even give up learn English. In spite of these difficulties, but I believe practice makes perfect. With enough practice, we can overcome the difficulties and benefit from English classes in the long run.短文改错答案1. What we all中的What改为As2. greatly改为great3. teaching改为taught4. for改为with5. is an only language中的an改为the6. opportunity改为opportunities7. there were problems中的were改为are8. 在find后加it9. learn改为learning 10. 去掉but。

We have a door which leads onto the street and two entrances from the water. One runs under a rounded arch (拱门) into the ground floor of the house, which, as is customary in the city, is used instead of a cellar (地下室) for storing things. The second is used for our business activities and itis located in another building, which hasthree floors.The house is almost 200 years old. It has beautiful arched windows and green-painted shutters (百叶窗) to keep out the cruel summer heat. When I lie in bed at night, I can hear the songs of the passing gondoliers (威尼斯的船夫) and the conversations in the square nearby. I understand why Uncle Leo runs his business here. The prices are not too high. The location of the house is near the city centre and easy to find. Besides, the printing trade has many roots (根源) in this area of Venice, even if some of the oldpublishers from the area are no longer there.Venice is like a large copy of our old library at home in Spain, full of dark corners and unexpected surprises, some very close to me. Last night, while searching in the corners of the house, I found a single copy of Aristotle's Poetics, published in the city in 1502. I raced to Uncle Leo with my discovery and a smile almost appeared on his face. ‘A find, boy! This'll fetch good money when I sell it down in the market.’‘May I read a little first, sir?’ I asked, feeling worried. Leo has a frightening mannerat times.‘Books are for selling, not reading,’ he replied immediately. But at least I had it for the night, since the dealers were by that time closed.24. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. A cellar.B. An arch.C. A floor.D. An entrance.25. What do we know about the author's house in Venice?A. It has a long history.B. It's in a very bad location.C. It has an underground storeroom.D. It can be very hot in the summer.26. What does the author say about his uncle's printing business?A. It's the only printing business left in the area.B. It lies in a historic publishing area.C. It's less expensive than others.D. It has attracted many tourists.27. What does the discovery of the book show about Uncle Leo?A. He has problems with money.B. He has a good sense of humour.C. His main interest is making money.D. His manner of dealing with people is frightening.CWith a growing number of people in San Francisco choosing not to own a car, German carmaking company BMW has decided to branch out into car-sharing services with 70 cars spread around the city, first in 14 locations, with a further 100 being added gradually.“This is not an A-to-A service — it is A-to-B,” says Richard Steinberg, chief executive of the DriveNow scheme (方案), pointing out that members can pick up a car downtown for the half-hour drive to the airport for only $12, compared with about $40-50for a taxi.Whether that is possible in real life depends on traffic, of course. A midmorning drive from Union Square down Highway 101 to the airport takes just 22 minutes; however, driving back during the rush hour takes twice as long.Most of the cars that are stuck in San Francisco's traffic jams are giving off all sorts of harmful gas. But not DriveNow's BMW ActiveE cars.“All the cars in San Francisco are electric,” Mr Steinberg says.In San Francisco, handing back the car to DriveNow is easy — just pick one of its drop-off points, park and walk away. There are no forms to fill in, no time-consuming (耗时的)rules.Several other carmakers and other players within the motor industry are experimenting with similar schemes, for example Daimler's Car2go scheme, which is operated in many citiesaround the world.“We picture a future where car-sharing members outnumber car owners in big cities around the world,” says Car2go spokesman Andreas Leo.Franck Leveque, from company Frost & Sullivan, agrees.“Car sharing is growing at a pace (速度) we have not seen before,” he says. “By 2020 we believe there will be 15 million members of car-sharing schemes in Europe alone, with140,000 vehicles in operation.”28. What does the underlined part “branch out into” probably mean?A. Start offering.B. Stop improving.C. Make use of.D. Take control of.29. The DriveNow scheme _____.A. works better in rush-hour trafficB. makes city driving less dangerousC. encourages people to buy a cheap carD. allows drivers to pay money to use a car30. What's special about BMW ActiveE cars?A. They drive much faster than other cars.B. They never get stuck in heavy traffic.C. They don't harm the environment.D. They need less gas to run.31. What does Franck think of the future of car sharing?A. Worrying.B. Hopeful.C. Uncertain.D. Disappointing.DBanker Chip Paillex had never planted so much until he moved to the countryside in Pittstown, New Jersey, seven years ago. Surrounded (被围绕) by working farms, he quickly became interested in the grow-it-yourself idea and rented a piece of 30-by-30-foot land. He planted tomatoes, eggplants and other vegetables — enough to feed his family of four for the summer. He ended up with so much produce; he couldn't give it away. He found a local food factory, and donated (捐赠) 120 pounds of fresh vegetables.The following year, with a handful of volunteers (志愿者) and a memorable name —America's Grow-a-Row, Paillex harvested 1,500 pounds of fresh vegetables, all of which he donated to area food banks, places that give food to poor people. Soon Paillex had a hundred volunteers and needed more land. He visited Meredith and Jeremy Compton, who farm Peaceful Valley Orchards in Pittstown. Could he work their land?“I guess we were feeling honored,” says Meredith. Not only do the Comptons welcome Grow-a-Row volunteers, they also work on the land.What began with a few empty fields has turned into a large local farm. This year, Grow-a-Row will deliver (运送) about 250,000 pounds of fresh produce to food banks. Their secret for getting all of this done? Family power. “Each week, a couple of families‘own’ the garden,” says Paillex. “They water, pick, and deliver, and then hand it off on Sunday night to the next group of families.”Paillex also welcomes local school kids. On a Friday morning in May, some kids worked on a field. “We're growing food,” one fifth grader said proudly.“The program shows kids that there are people in need,” says Paillex. “When these kids become tomorrow's leaders, they'll be much more likely to encourage their co-workers or employees to get involved in (参与) something like this.”“Chip makes people want to help,” says Colleen Duerr, a mother of two. “And families love this. Chip has given us a way to raise our kids with a giving heart.”32. Why did Chip start growing vegetables in Pittstown?A. There were very few fresh vegetables on the market.B. He wanted to offer food to the local food factory.C. Farmers there encouraged him to do so.D. He was deeply attracted by planting.33. After a year's planting, Chip _____.A. set up more food banks in the areaB. won great support from more peopleC. helped save many people from being poorD. persuaded many people to help him on the land34. How can Grow-a-Row manage to produce so much food?A. School children play the most active part.B. Families take turns to look after the garden.C. The work is divided into separate small tasks.D. Schools and families divide the work equally.35. What's the best title for the text?A. The ProducersB. American FarmsC. Grow it YourselfD.

It has been a long time since I came back from Hainan, which is such a wonderful place that I will never forget it.It gave me a rather good 1 ,as I have experienced a lot of things for the first time.On the first day of my 2 ,I first took the train to Shanghai and then took the plane to Hainan. 3 it’s my second time to take the plane,I felt even more 4 than the first time.During the flight I found I was flying 5 the cloud of different types and colors.The sky was also brighter and clearer than that I had 6 seen.Soon we arrived in Haikou,where the climate was 7 different from that in Changzhou because the fluttering snowflakes(雪花) diffused over my home when I left.However,it was warm here and we could see coconut trees everywhere.After 3 days,1 went to Bo’ao which is 8 for its forums(论坛).It was my first time to experience the sea and the beach in the sunshine.When sitting on the cruise ship,I could clearly see the ocean waves 9 the windows of the cruise ship.It seemed that I was surrounded by the waves.I felt as if I was a fish which had been living in the sea happily.Then we 10 on the beach.The sand on the beach was so soft that it was 11 to lie on it.I tried searching for the shells but 12 .The beach was totally different from what I had heard before as there was 13 except footsteps.The next day,I went to Haikou.I first visited the tomb of Hai Rui,a(n) 14 inthe Ming Dynasty.I think he should be the role 15 of every person.After that I went to the park of volcanoes.A lot of stones of different shapes came into 16 .When we arrived at the top of the park,it seemed that the whole city was under my view. 17 the volcano had stopped erupting(爆发) for thousands of years.I can’t forget this trip,not only does it give me a lot of joy,knowledge and good memory,but also it gives me a(n) 18 to make friends with people from different parts in China.By enjoying the excellent scenery,I think Ihave 19 this beautiful city.

Travel AloneC.Travel Light D.Travel Wide and Far三、短文改错(共10分)Last Saturday,I have a school trip with my classmates and teachers.We met at the school gate at eight in the morning and then we set off by the bus.First,we visited the Great Wall.When we got there,it was nine.We started to climbing the great wonder of ancient China immediate.That was the first time that we had visited them,so we were very exciting.We took many photo on the Great Wall.Then we had lunch there,after which we left the Fragrant Hills.When we got there,we were amazed at the beautiful maple leaves,what made us not want to leave.We stayed at the top of the mountain for an hour and at five in the afternoon we returned.How an unforgettable trip!一.完形填空ADBAC DBCCA CBCBD CBCBC二.阅读理解ACCB三.改错have— had by the bus— by bus climbing—climb immediate— immediatelythem— it exciting—excited photo—photos left— left forwhat— which How—What。

We do know, however, that they existed over 5,500 years ago in ancient Asia.The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia.It is over 5,100 years old. Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn't become popular for a while, though. This could be because animals dida perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.But it could also be because of a difficult situation. While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces, roads with smooth surfaces weren't goingto be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them. Eventually, r oad surfaces did become smoother, but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later. There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modem road design. In the mid-1700s, a Frenchman came up with a new design of road—a base layer (层) of l arge stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones. A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong, lasting road surface becamea reality. Ataround the same lime, metal hubs (the central part of a wh eel) came into being, followed by the pneumatic tyre(充气轮胎)in 1846. Alloy wheels were invented in 1967, sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads(柏油路). As wheel design took off, vehicles got faster and faster.21. What might explain why transport wheels didn't become popular for some time?A. Few knew how to use transport wheels.B. Humans carried farming tools just as well.C. Animals were a good means of transport.D. The existence of transport wheels was not known.22. What do we know about road design from the passage?A. It was easier than wheel design.B. It improved after big changes in vehicle design.C. It was promoted by fast-moving vehicles.D. It provided conditions for wheel design to develop.23. How is the last paragraph mainly developed?A. By giving examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By following time order.D. By making classifications.24. What is the passage mainly about?A. The beginning of road design.B. The development of transport wheels.C. The history of public transport.D. His invention of fast-moving vehicles.三、语法填空。

四川省宜宾市一中2018-2019学年高中英语上学期第10周周训练题双向细目表Module 6 Unexplained Mysteries of the Natural World第Ⅰ卷第二部分: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。
AHummingbirds (蜂鸟) are very small birds. This small bird is quite an acrobat (杂技演员). Only a few birds, such as kingfishers and sunbirds, can hover, which means to stay in one place in the air. But no other bird can match the flying skills of the hummingbird. The hummingbird can hover, fly backward and fly upside down!Hummingbirds got their name because their wings move very quickly when they fly. This causes a humming sound. Their wings move so fast that you can’t see them at all. This takes a lot of energy. These little birds must have food about every 20 minutes to have enough strength to fly. Their favorite food is nectar (花蜜). Nectar is the sweet water deep inside a flower. Hummingbirds use their long, thin bills to drink from flowers. When a hummingbird drinks nectar, it hovers in front of a flower. It never touches the flower with its wings or feet.Of all the birds in the world, the hummingbird’s colors are among the brightest. Some are bright green with red and white markings. Some are purple. One kind of hummingbird can change its color from reddish-brown to purple to red!The hummingbird’s nest (巢) is special, too. It looks like a small cup. The inside of the nest is very soft. This is because one of the things the mother bird uses to build the nest is the silk from a spider’s web (蜘蛛网).21. What is special about hummingbirds?A. They are the only birds that can hover.B. They have excellent flying skills.C. They can walk on water.D. They can fly very high.22. Hummingbirds got their name from _____.A. theirfoodB. their small bodiesC. the sound theymakeD. the color of their wings23. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A. Hummingbirds’ markings are dark.B. A kind of hummingbird has one color.C. The hummingbird is one of the prettiest birds.D. Some hummingbirds change their colors for protection.24. According to the text, a hummingbird’s nest is _____.A. difficult to findB. hard and strongC. made by the father birdD. built partly from spider silkBWe just love giving cards in Britain. If there’s a sp ecial occasion coming up, there’s no doubt that we’ll be there, card in hand, to celebrate it.And this isn’t just for birthdays; we also give cards when people are ill or when they have got a new job. And even if you forgot somebody’s birthday, there are even “sorry it’s late” cards. So you can pretty much find a card for any occasion.Before coming to Italy I had never even considered that our love for card giving might not be shared by other countries. In fact, my workmates told me that hardly anyone sendsChristmas cards in Italy and that they actually don’t really give birthday cards either! Unbelievable! In the UK, if a close friend or family member didn’t get me a card I’d feel upset! However, the only place you can buy cards in Italy is in a shop which sells school things. In comparison, we have whole shops that sell them in the UK and we even have different types of card shops.Although cards can take up your time, from choosing the perfect one, to thinking up the personal message inside, I think it’s a really nice gesture. And especially with Christmas cards, it adds to that festive feeling. When I sit down to write countless cards to friends and family, I get that little bit happier that it will be Christmas soon! Especially when I see my own Christmas cards, proudly sitting on my desk wishing me a very merry Christmas.Of course, the problem comes when they’re no longer needed, when Christmas is over. It makes me sad just to throw them all away, so I try and hang on to my favorite ones.25. According to Paragraph 1, in the UK card giving _____.A. is very popularB. is changing people’s livesC. is mainly carried out on birthdaysD. is more common between family members26. After arriving in Italy, the author found that _____.A. Italians seldom send cardsB. cards are sold in card shopsC. the relationship between people is badD. card giving is losing its attraction slowly27. Which of the following may the author agree with?A. Self-made cards make Christmas happy.B. Giving cards doesn’t take up any time.C. Throwing cards away is a bad gesture.D. There is no need to save every card.28. What’s the author’s attitude towards card giving?A. He supports it.B. He doubts it.C. He disagrees with it.D. He is uninterested in it.CPeople are always looking for lost cities and occasionally one is found: Borobudur in Indonesia, for example. But perhaps some of the places people look for never existed — or did they? Here are just a few famous mythical (传说中的) cities.El DoradoEl Dorado is a story that began in 1537, when Spanish explorers found the Muisca people in the mountains of what is now Colombia. They heard the story of a man who covered himself with gold and dived into a lake. Then people began to talk of El Dorado —‘the golden man’. Soon people started to think of El Dorado as a place, too — a city of gold and amazing riches. Nowadays, the name ‘El Dorado’ is still used to mean ‘a place where you can get rich quickly’.AtlantisThere was once an island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. It was the mythical island of Atlantis. The people of the island were very rich, thanks to the natural resources on their island. For hundreds of years, they lived simple lives. But slowly they began to change. They started to want power. So the gods decided to destroy Atlantis. Suddenly, the island and its people were swallowed (淹没) by the sea and were never seen again.ShambhalaIn Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Shambhala is a mystical (神秘的) country that is hidden somewhere behind the Himalayas. Shambhala is a word from an old language that means ‘place of peace’ or ‘place of happiness’. It is said that there is no war in Shambhala, and in the future, when the world is full of war, a huge army will come out of Shambhala, destroy the world’s bad rulers, and start a new Golden Age. Some people say this will happen in 2424.29. Nowadays, ‘El Dorado’ means ‘_____’.A. ColombiaB. the golden manC. a place of great wealthD. the city with mountains30. Atlantis was destroyed by _____.A. the godsB. its peopleC. its powerful enemiesD. its neighboring country31. What will probably happen in 2424 according to the last paragraph?A. The Himalayas will disappear.B. The world will be full of peace.C. Shambhala will save the world.D. There will be a war in Shambhala.32. What would be the best title for the text?A. Rich landsB. Mythical citiesC. Famous tourist attractionsD. Newly-found ancient countriesDWith Disney parks recently raising their ticket prices to $89 now is the perfect time to start thinking about smaller, regional theme (主题)parks. Here are four theme parks where the daily price of adult admission (门票) is under $50.Luna Park, Coney Island, NY.How much you spend in enjoying Luna Park really depends on which rides you choose to go on. For anyone as indecisive as I am, stick with the $29 four-hour Unlimited Luna Park Ride Wristband or the $39 Ride and Play package, a four-hour unlimited ride wristband that comes with a $20 game card.Dorney Park, Allentown, PA.Dorney Park is a popular theme park located about an hour outside of Philadelphia. Kids love Planet Snoopy, a fun area with attractions centered around the lovable Snoopy. Adult tickets are available online for $39.99 (or at the gate for $49.99) and kids are $27.99 online or ($29.99 at the gate). You can also buy a Starlight Admission ($27.99 online or at the gate), good for visits between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. during the summer months when the park is open late, or from 3:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. when the park closes earlier.Knotts Berry Farm, Buena Park, CA.Home to some of the country’s craziest rides, Knotts Berry Farm also has cal mer, more family-friendly rides. Ages 12-61 get in for $39.99 when tickets are bought online, while children ages 3-11 and adults over 62 pay $26.99.Santa Cruz Boardwalk, Santa Cruz, CA.Sitting on the warm beaches of Santa Cruz — about 90 minutes south of San Francisco — the Boardwalk is home to big roller coasters, mini-golf, enough food and games to keeppeople of all ages busy. The best part? An all-day unlimited rides wristband is only $31.95.33. All of the four theme parks _____.A. have calm ridesB. are family-friendlyC. require online bookingsD. are cheaper than Disney parks34. The Ride and Play package at Luna Park costs you _____.A. $20B. $29C.$39 D. $5935. What can we learn about the Starlight Admission at Dorney Park?A. It is aimed for kids.B. It can be used twice.C. It is designed for summer use.D. It’s for visits in the later part of a day.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AI have a fear of the dark. When I am out camping with my friends, I can hardly sleep because I’m so freaked out. What can I do?— JackOh man, I was the same way when I was a kid! As I got older, I got over it, but if you aren’t there yet, try these tips. Firstly, try to think about what frightens you, and try to reason with yourself. Then think about pleasant things before you go to bed. Besides, you could keep a small flashlight (手电筒) close to you, and put your sleeping bag over it so it gives off a weak light.— SteveKeeping a flashlight nearby is a great idea. I like to read before going to bed to help clear my mind of worries. Just avoid readin g anything that’s frightening!— JennySome of my friends make fun of me because I’m terrified of heights. What can I do to get over this fear?— JaneFor this question, I introduce a method called “flooding”, by which you face your fear head on. In your mind, imagine going to the top of a building, starting on the lowest floor and making it up to higher floors, one at a time. By the time you get to the top floor, you should feel relaxed! This will help you get over your fear of heights.— SteveI completel y understand; heights aren’t my friend either. And we’re not alone. It’s very common. What has helped me is to take a few deep breaths. It immediately relaxes me.— Jenny21. The underlined words “freaked out” are closest in meaning to “_____”.A. hungryB. surprisedC. afraidD. excited22. Both Steve and Jenny advise Jack to _____.A. use a flashlightB. read before bedC. think about pleasant thingsD. find out what frightens him23. According to Steve, Jane should _____.A. climb stairs every dayB. have a great imaginationC. go to the top of a buildingD. try to treat herself for fear24. How does Jenny feel about Jane?A. Sorry.B. Angry.C. Confident.D. Doubtful.BOnly humans speak using words. But all animals can communicate in one way or another. Maybe you have heard about the way bees dance around to send messages to each other and the way dogs bark in different ways to give warnings.But did you know about infrasonic (次声的) communication? This is how it works:Humans hear low sounds like thunder rumbling (雷声轰鸣) in the sky. But we don’t hear sounds lower than these. However, elephants can hear much lower sounds, and they use them to communicate with each other. This is known as infrasound.Another amazing thing about infrasound is that it travels over several kilometres. Sounds which have a higher pitch (音调), like the ones people can hear, don’t travel well through walls, leave s, trees, and so on, which is why we can’t hear sounds from more than100 metres away. But infrasound is much ‘stronger’, and things like grass and trees have no effect on it. Therefore it can travel much further. Elephants can hear infrasonic calls from four kilometres away!There have been reports of people watching elephants feeding or resting and then the elephants suddenly all ran away for no reason at all. They obviously heard a warning call from a long way away, but the people didn’t hear a sound. In places like a zoo or wildlife park where you can get nearer to animals, it is a bit easier to sense when infrasonic sounds are made. When you stand near mother elephants with their babies in a zoo you may notice a weak rumbling in the air every few minutes — not loud or strong, but clearly noticeable. This is infrasonic communication —the mother elephants ‘talking’ to their babies!25. Why does the author mention bees and dogs in Paragraph 1?A. To show humans are special.B. To introduce animal communication.C. To compare different kinds of animals.D. To tell us an interesting story about animals.26. We can learn from the text that infrasound _____.A. belongs to high soundsB. can travel long distancesC. is higher than the sound of thunderD. gets weaker when traveling through walls27. What can we infer from the reports in the last paragraph?A. The people watching also heard the warning call.B. Humans can hear lower sounds than elephants can.C. The elephants were frightened by the people closeby.D. Elephants communicate in a way that people cannot hear.CThe good news is that there’s probably a show for you. You could sing and dance to get a part in a musical. If you can cook, you might win your own restaurant, or you could invent something amazing and get rich. If you don’t actually know how to do anything, you could just let viewers watch you live in a big house, and hope you are chosen to be the most popular resident (住户).There are more exciting shows, though. How about a race around the world for $1 million? In the US show The Amazing Race, eleven pairs of contestants (竞争者) race around the world and have to complete different tasks on the way. These include the ‘ordinary’ (playing volleyball), the ‘personal’ (shaving your head), and the ‘dangerous’ (bungee jumping). The pairs are allowed to decide how to get to their destinations —by car, train, boat, plane or bus — but they are not allowed to ask for help or use mobile phones.This kind of show is not exactly new, so what makes us keep watching? Well, what is different about The Amazing Race is that the contestants know each other. There are married couples, best friends and family members. Just like in real life, people who are close argue when they are worried. This is what makes the show successful.The contestants (and sometimes the producers) don’t know exactly what’s going to happen next. Some pairs really come together in these situations, while others completely fall apart. This is all a little more r eal than most ‘reality’ shows.28.

Wright, a Brooklyn social worker, was on her way to a Hendrix concert when she entered a pet shop and found an owl m onkey. “I looked into his eyes and realized there was a connection there,” Wright said. That connection led to a huge life change.In the 1960s, it would have seemed improbable, if not impossible, that Wright would start her career as a primatologist (灵长类动物学家). But she bought that pet shop monkey, Herbie, and watching him excited Wright’s interest in monkeys. On her own, she went to the Amazon rainforest to find a partner for Herbie.Without any training, Wright published a paper in a science magazine but realized she needed a degree and went to graduate school. After graduating with a Ph.D. from the City University of New York in 1985, Wright worked at the Duke Lemur Center in Durham, N.C. There, her adviser suggested she go to Madagascar and try to find the greater bamboo lemur (大竹狐猴), a species thought to have died out. The environment of the island had been destroyed. People there led a poor life. Lemurs weren’t national treasures but a sometime source of meat.In 1991, her efforts led to the creation of Ranomafana National Park. And then she created the Centre ValBio project, which not only protects the lemurs, but also provides benefits in the form of jobs and improved health care.Her influence on the island is everywhere. The national park has created an eco-tourism industry, which in turn has created jobs and improved the standard of living. Her efforts have led to a worldwide movement to save the lemurs, so in May, 2014, Wright became the first woman to win the famous Indianapolis Prize, an award given to a scientist every two years for saving animal species.32.
