高中英语学习材料madeofjingetieji宿州市十三所重点中学2015-2016学年度第一学期期中质量检测高一英语试卷第二部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)ATravelling is a very good activity. When you are fed up with your work and when you can get a holiday, you can go to the beautiful places to enjoy the beauty of nature and the special character of other cities. You can breathe fresh air, visit some places of interest, meet different people and make friends with them. If you do so, you will forget your tiredness and troubles and build up your health. As a result, you will feel fully relaxed and you will have the energy to do the new tasks waiting for you.But sometimes, travelling is not an enjoyable thing. For example, when the bus or car you take has a bad accident, you just sit in and waste your tim e. What’s more, the weather can be changeable. If you are climbing a mountain, it may rain suddenly. You may be caught in the rain and may catch a cold. The worst thing is that you may have your money stolen and you may have an injury. All these are terrible things that can happen to a tourist.Therefore, when you are going on a trip, you must prepare yourself carefully. Firstly, you must have clear information about the weather. Second, you should choose a good partner so that you can help each other. Thirdly, you must be careful everywhere and try to avoid accidents. If you do this, you’ll surely enjoy your travels and avoid any unnecessary trouble.21.In the passage, the author suggests that you should______ for a holiday.A.go to the countryB. go to different citiesC. go nowhereD. Both A and B22. In the first paragraph, the underlined words “are fed up with”means ________.A. finish doingB. can’t doC. are tired ofD. are interested in23. What is NOT mentioned in the passage? _______A. You may meet with a good friend.B. You may ill on a trip.C. You will have to spend a lot of money on a bus or in a car.D. It’s necessary for you to know about the weather before you travel.24. In order to have a good holiday, you should _________.A. never be careful enoughB. have a holiday with a good friendC. take an umbrella with youD. be well prepared for your tripBJust picture William Shakespeare, the king of English literature, sitting in front of a computer chatting with a "mouse potato" online. Perhaps both sides would think the other is using a strange new language.Rome was not built in a day, and neither was English. And the Internet speeds up the evolution (进化) of language. The most recent evidence (证明) is some new words have found their way into the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as standard English words."Mouse potato", like couch potato, has nothing to do with food. It refers to (指) people who play on their computers all day. The verb "google" comes from the popular Internet search engine. You can easily guess its meaning. And a "drama queen" is not necessarily someone from a royal (皇族的) family or a stage play. It can refer to a person who often gives emotional performances or reactions (反应).Actually, the evolution of English has never stopped. In 1066, France invaded (侵略) Britain and then conquered (占领) it. That's why we find many French words in the English vocabulary ' words like cafe, mutton and beef. After the American Revolution, English in colonial (殖民地) America began to separate itself from English across the Atlantic. Besides changes in intonation, certain words fell out of favor and were replaced. For instance, "autumn" in Britain became "fall" in the United States.English has changed from a simple language with only 50,000 words into a complex (复杂的) one with over 750,000. This is partly due to globalization (全球化).Many languages have also contributed to (有助于) the development of English. Words like Chinese "tofu" and Japanese "sushi" can also be found in English. Maybe you will create the next new English word. Who knows?25.The writer gave the example of Shakespeare to stress_____________.A. The great change of EnglishB. The large number of English speakerC. The great use of EnglishD. The difficulty in learning English26.Which of the following words can refer to a person?A.mouse potatoB. couch potatoC. drama queenD. all of the above27.Which of the following words doesn’t come from a foreign country？A.AutumnB. MuttonC. TofuD. Sushi28.How many words were added to English during the course of its development？A. 50,000B. 750,000C. 800,000D. 700,000CAvalanches (雪崩) are one of those natural disasters that can cause great damage and only Mother Nature knows when and where they are going to occur. Even with modern technology it is still impossible to know exactly when or where one is going to occur. Mountain climbers are wise to be careful, as avalanches kill many of them each year.The physics of how and why an avalanche occurs is complex. There are times of higher probability. During the year, the transition（转变from winter to spring will cause some snow and ice to melt, which may trigger avalanches. Also at daybreak there is a higher probability due to the temperature change .While climbers hike up slopes, some distance between the climbers should be kept. If an avalanche occurs, then there will be fewer lives lost and a higher probability that someone will be able to seek help. Since an accident is more likely to happen when a top layer of snow is loose, avoid areas where heavy snow or rain has recently occurred.Try to choose areas that you are familiar with and stay in areas with rocks, bushes and trees. Trees and bushes allow snow to pile up and keep the layers stable. If an avalanche occurs, trees will take the impact of the snow, so there is a better chance of being safe.Climbers must pay attention to the degree of the slope. Avalanches wo n’t occur on level ground and there is little snowfall on very steep areas. The greatest danger is in areas where the slope is between 25 and 40 degrees.Remember that, if you get stuck in an avalanche, there is no car hire available to take you to the nearest airport.29. What do we know from the first paragraph?A. Many mountain climbers die of avalanches each year.B. Of all the natural disasters, avalanches cause the greatest damage.C. Most climbers who meet avalanches die for not paying enough attention to avalanches.D. With the development of science and technology, avalanches can now be predicted exactly.30. Why is there a higher probability that an avalanche occurs at daybreak?A. Because daybreak is the coldest time of the day in the mountain.B. Because it often snows heavily in the mountains at daybreak.C. Because temperature changes at daybreak.D. Because the top layer snow is loose at daybreak.31.It wouldn’t be a good idea for a climber to _______ while climbing a mountain.A.Keep some distance from other climbersB.Avoid areas where heavy snow or rain has recently occurred.C.Choose areas that he or she is familiar withD.Climb up a slope which is between 25 and 40 degreesDThis year some twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from13~19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to othercountries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George'sfamily. In turn, George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that areusual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.Family life, too, was different. The father's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car."Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it."At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. "I suppose I should criticize (批评) American schools," he said. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two."33. This year _____ teenagers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other countries.A. twenty-three hundredB. thirteen hundredC. over three thousandD. less than two thousand34. The whole exchange programme is mainly to _____.A. help teenagers in other countries know the real AmericaB. send students in America to travel in GermanyC. let students learn something about other countriesD. have teenagers learn new languages35. What is particular in American schools is that _____.A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildingsB. there are a lot of after-school activitiesC. students usually take fourteen subjects in allD. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car36.After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought __________.A.A better education school include something good from both American and GermanyB.German schools trained students to be better citizen.C.American schools were not as good as German schools.D.The easy life in the American school was more helpful to studentsEFriends play a very important part in everyone’s life. Friendship usually develops during childhood. New friends are made when you progress through school. Those friends that you make as a student can usually last long. Friends influence (影响) your development, maturity (成熟) and sense of responsibility. A familiar expression is “You can tell a lot about a person by knowing who his friends are.”Friendship is based on common interests. If you like sports, most of your friends are likely to be athletic. If you enjoy reading and shopping, most of your friends do the same.There is another kind of friends.They remember your birthday, they visit you and talk with you and sometimes they have fun with you,but they stay with you only when you are useful to them.If when day you become poor or are in trouble,they will be more than happy to desert you and find other new friendsvery quickly.They are not real friends, but superficial friends.True friends are most special and difficult to find.True friends are ready to share happiness and sadness and exchange views honestly.They take you as you are and give you a helping hand when you are low and in need of help,just like “a bridge over troubled waters.”They will support you,guide you and lead you to success.It’s true to say that a friend in need is a friend indeed,and it is also true to say that a friend without help is a friend indeed.One should be also to tell the difference between a true friend and a superficial friend.There is a Chinese proverb that says “it’s easy to make a fortune but different to have a true friend”.And you are really lucky if you have a true friend.37.By saying “you are tell a lot about a person by looking at who is his friend are”,the writer meansA.Like attracts like.B.Friends know a lot about each other.C.Friends can get together to talk a lot.D.You cannot tell what a person is like unless he has a friend.38.The underlined part “a bridge over troubled waters.”probably refer to .A.Something that you are grateful toB.Something that can help you build a bridgeC.Something that can put you to troubleD.Something that can help you out39.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Only those friends you make as a students can last long.B.All friendship develops during childhood.C.Those who leave you when you are in trouble are not real friends.D.It’s easier to have a true friend than to make a fortune.40.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A.A friend in need is a friend indeed .B.Friends play a very important role in everyone’s life.C.On friendsD.Friends influence your development , maturity and sense of responsibility第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）Colors often appear in American's everyday talk.Red is a 41 color and it is often used to express heat and strong 42 like anger.Americans may say they are red hot about something 43 ．However,people will also use it in other 44 .For example ,fast loud music is popular 45 many people.They may say the music is red-hot.Blue is a cool color.The traditional Blues Music in the US is 46 ,sad,and sorrowful.Pink is a 47 kind of red．People 48 say they are in the pink when they are in good 49 ．It probably 50 from the fact that many babies are born with nice pink skin that 51 that they are in good health．The color black is often used in expressions．People describe a day on which everything goes wrong as a black day．People or things on a blacklist are connected with things illegal now．But at one time, some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations．The color green is 52 for trees and grass．53 when it is for humans,it is different.A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may 54 very green．Sometimes a person may be 55 because he does not have something as nice as a friend has,like a fast new car.That person may say he is green with envy．The color black is used to 56 a day in which everything goes wrong.The day of a major tragedy is remembered as a 57 day.In some cases,colors describe a 58 .Brownouts(灯火管制)happen when there is too much demand for electricity.The electric system is 59 to offer all the power needed in an area.Lights will not be bright enough in the case.Blackouts were common during the World War II.Officials would order people in a city to 60 their lights to make it difficult for enemy planes to find a target in the dark of night.41.A.cool B.warm C.hot D.calm42.A.savings ings C.sneezings D.feelings43.A.serious mon C.unfair D.helpful44.A.cases B.cities C.countries D.traditions45.A.in B.with C.on D.for46.A.fast B.slow C.fierce D.strong47.A.lighter B.blacker C.deeper D.thicker48.A.sometimes B.sometime C.some time D.no time49.A.eyesight B.temper C.emotion D.health50.A.runs B.brings es D.goes51.A.says B.tells C.judges D.shows52.A.simple B.natural C.special D.actual53.A.Therefore B.Also C.But D.So54.A.look B.grow C.turn D.so55.A.pleased B.attractive C.upset D.content56.A.spend B.describe C.waste D.kill57.A.red B.black C.pink D.blue58.A.situation B.satisfaction C.contribution D.recognition59.A.believable B.valuable C.able D.unable60.A.turn on B.turn out C.turn over D.turn off第II卷非选择题第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面的材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式（不超过3个单词）。
