Hehad been here only l0 minutes and already he had them on his side. Andbefore long,he and I became familiar.One day, he looked up at me seriously with his brown eyes. “I don't understandwhy you are so touchy(易怒的).” My face turned red and I said sharply, “You wouldn't understand.”He followed me. “I should, Karen,” he said. “You and I have a lot in common.You are too tall, and I'm too short.”“You seem to get along well.” I admitted. “But what about me？ No boy wantsto date a girl who is taller than he is.”“The trouble with you is you're afraid to be yourself.

So, I said yes.Here came the show time. Carlos as the short man and I, the model, were seatedat a table. From our talk the audience could tell we were falling in love. That wasnothing funny yet.

AA wet father dialed 999 to ask police for a lift home—because it was raining.The man was walking along a flyover(立交桥) with his children when the heavens opened.He shamelessly phoned the emergency service and begged for a lift, threatening to complain(投诉) to police watchdogs unless they helped.Passing officers decided they would pick up the man and his children and drive them to a bus stop.A neighbourhood police officer for the area flagged up Sunday’s incident in Shoreham, West Sussex, in a message posted on Facebook.It read: “At 12.16 pm a male dialed 999 because it was raining and he wanted a lift home.

湖北省黄冈市2022-2023学年高一上学期11月期中英语试题
湖北省黄冈市2022-2023学年高一上学期11月期中英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The Winter Olympic Games are not just an opportunity for athletes to win medals and honour for their countries. Every four years, the Games also offer audiences a chance to get to know more about winter sports from around the world. The Winter Olympics may not have the large crowds and huge stars of its summer sibling, but they share the same Olympic spirit.SkiingOne of the most popular sports of the Winter Olympic Games is skiing. Skiers compete in the downhill and slalom(回转赛), and in the short and long cross-country ski races. Skiing was originally a sport played only in cold northern countries, but now athletes from all over the world compete in this sport, even those from countries without any snow!SkatingSkaters compete with each other in speed races or in figure-skating events. The figure-skaters are generally considered to be the stars of the Winter Olympic Games. These ice princes and princesses are so graceful that it’s easy to forget that they are actually highly skilled athletes.The skeletonThe skeleton is one of the strangest-name d sports of the Olympics. The skeleton is named after the shape of the metal sleds used in the 1890s, when the sport first started. The skeleton is a downhill sled race, usually on ice. This sport looks a little like the luge(无舵雪橇), where a person sits on the back of the sled with his or her feet forward, but the skeleton is a lot more exciting and dangerous than that. In the skeleton, a person lies on his or her stomach on the sled, with his or her head pointing downhill!1．What is the sibling of the Winter Olympics?A．Skiing.B．Skating.C．The skeleton.D．The Summer Olympics.2．What can we learn about Skiing?A．It can involve speed and graceful figures.B．It is the most dangerous sport of the Olympics.C．It first started only in cold northern countries.D．It was originally played in the 1890s and usually on ice.3．How does the writer describe figure-skaters?A．They compete in the downhill and slalom.B．They are both graceful and highly skilled.C．They sit on the sled with their feet forward.D．They lie on the stomach with heads downward.If you are reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much. They wonder how you will deal with school, friends and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies(自拍)to become successful in real life—or “IRL”, as you would say?Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt (溺爱) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents” who were always there to guide and help their children with a busy schedule filled with homework and after-school activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Noble Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s no reason to be worried about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you do GR8(great)and LOL(laugh out loud).4．Who is this passage written for?A．The teenagers B．The teachersC．The parents D．The oh-ohs5．What do helicopter parents always do?A．Help and direct their children.B．Do homework instead of children.C．Guide children to face challenges.D．Plan a busy schedule for children. 6．How does the writer feel about the younger generation?A．Anxious.B．Confident.C．Satisfied.D．Helpless 7．What can we learn according to the passage?A．Parents should put down their phones.B．Young people should be better educated.C．The oh-ohs should be hopeful about the future.D．Face-down generation should raise their heads.Will you eat everything in your lunch box today? If not, what will you do with what’s left over? Save it for another time or throw it in the bin?A new report by the United Nations estimates(估计)17% of all the food produced around the world gets wasted each year. That means 931 million tons of wasted food! Most of the waste(61%)happens in households, while food services such as restaurants and cafes make up 26 percent and shops make up 13 percent, the UN found.“Many countries haven’t yet known how much food they have wasted, so they don’t understand how serious the problem is,” said Clementine O’Connor, from the UN Environment Program and co-author of the report.Food waste is also bad for the environment. The UN Environment Program estimates that wasted food is responsible for 8—10% of global greenhouse gas emissions(排放物). If food waste were a country, it would have the third highest greenhouse gas emissions in the world, after only the US and China.The report found food waste in homes wasn’t limited to higher income countries such as the US, the UK and Australia. Food waste researcher, Professor Brian Roe, from Ohio State University in the US, said food was also sometimes wasted in poor countries because they didn’t have refrigerators.Professor Brian Roe said household and cultural habits could lead to waste at home, including “buy one, get one free” deals. Meanwhile, “use-by” or “best-before” dates on products could also be causing people to throw away food. People could be throwing out food because they think it is unsafe to eat, when in fact the date only shows when quality mightdecline.8．Where does most of food waste happen?A．At home.B．At cafes.C．At shops.D．At restaurants. 9．Why does the author compare food waste to a country?A．To tell us greenhouse gas emissions are very serious.B．To tell us the US produces the most greenhouse gas.C．To show food waste is quite common all over the world.D．To show food waste does great harm to the environment.10．What does Professor Brian Roe try to tell us in the last paragraph?A．The harm of food waste.B．How food waste happens.C．Why we shouldn’t waste food.D．The ways to reduce food waste. 11．What would be the best title of the text?A．Why do people waste food?B．Where do people waste food?C．Food waste is a serious problem D．Food waste happens in differentcountriesHundreds of little robots are walking around colleges and cities in the United States, China and elsewhere. The robots, about 50 centimeters tall, are bringing food like pizza to hungry students.“We saw needs for robot usage just go through the ceiling,” said Alastair Westgarth. He is the head of Starship Technologies, whose robots recently made their 2 millionth delivery(递送). “I think the need is always there, but it was brought forward by the pandemic effect(疫情影响).”The robots use cameras, sensors and GPS to move around and even cross streets on their own at the speed of 8 kilometers per hour. Operators keep watch on several robots at a time but they say they hardly need to stop or move them around a barrier(障碍). When a robot arrives, people enter a code(密码)from their phones to open the robot and get their food.There are some disadvantages for now. The robots have to be recharged(再充电)regularly. They are slow and cannot travel far. They will not leave food at the door. And big cities like New York and Beijing are not welcome them.Ji Hye Kim is chef of Miss Kim Restaurant in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She used robot delivery when her dining room was closed last year. Kim prefers robots to deliverycompanies which charge more and sometimes cancel orders if they do not have enough drivers. Delivery companies also group several orders per trip, she said, so food sometimes arrives cold. Robots take just one order at a time.Denis Maloney is vice president at Domino’s Pizza. His company is testing robots from Nuro, a California-based company. The robots are about 1.8 meters tall and can travel at a top speed of 40 kilometers on streets, not sidewalks. Maloney said delivery from Nuro costs more than using human drivers for now. But as the technology scales up and gets more refined, the costs will go down.12．What do we know about robot food delivery?A．Robots are very popular among university students.B．Only pizza can be brought by robots to hungry students.C．The pandemic has changed the way of fast food delivery.D．The pandemic saw sharp growth of robot food delivery.13．What can we infer from the operation of the robots?A．The operators use a code to control the robots.B．The robots run at a high speed on the street.C．They are controlled by a high level of intelligence.D．The robots don’t need to be charged regularly.14．What is the advantage of robot food delivery according to Ji Hye Kim?A．Longer distances to travel.B．Lower costs than drivers.C．More than one order per trip.D．High speeds and exact delivery. 15．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Robot food delivery is increasing greatly.B．The pandemic affected people’s daily life.C．Scientists are making new types of robots.D．Robots has increased business of restaurants.二、七选五Life is a mix of good and bad days.

湖北省黄冈市黄冈中学高一下学期期中考试英语试题
湖北省黄冈中学2016年春季期中联考高一英语试题考试时间：120分钟满分：150分第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分）略第二部分阅读理解（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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AA wet father dialed 999 to ask police for a lift home—because it was raining.The man was walking along a flyover(立交桥) with his children when the heavens opened.He shamelessly phoned the emergency service and begged for a lift, threatening to complain(投诉) to police watchdogs unless they helped.Passing officers decided they would pick up the man and his children and drive them to a bus stop.A neighbourhood police officer for the area flagged up Sunday’s incident in Shoreham, West Sussex, in a message posted on Facebook.It read: “At 12.16 pm a male dialed 999 because it was raining and he wanted a lift home. Threatened to complain to the PCC when he was told no.”A Sussex Police spokesperson confirmed: “A man rang from the Shoreham flyover to say he was stuck on foot in rain on his way home on Sunday, and wanted a lift. A passing police car did give him a lift to the adjacent A283 as he had young children with him. He was then left as he was able to wait for a bus or phone for a taxi. Clearly, 999 is for public use only in emergencies.”However, the poor use of public service has been widely blamed.A Sussex police officer, who asked to remain anonymous(匿名的), said: “Obviously, this is not why people should call 999. He was lucky he was not punished for wasting police time.”Matthew Sinclair, chief executive of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, added: “It’s ridiculous that this important service was used for such a trivial issue. Taxpayers expect police to spend their time protecting the public from crime(犯罪), not act as a taxi service.”21．Why did the policemen eventually agree to give them a lift？A．They were totally wet.B．The man’s kids were young.C．They couldn’t afford the taxi fare.D．Their cell phones were out of power.22．The reason why the police officer said the man was “lucky” is that _________. A．people usually couldn’t get away with wasting police timeB．the man and his kids had been sent homeC．the man and his kids met some warm—hearted officersD．people concerned about the man and his kids23．Which word below can take the place of “trivial” in the last second paragraph？A．small. B．funny.C．strange. D．crazy.BThe first time I saw him I would never have believed he was going to change my life. 1 had my arms full of books and I was entering the classroom when I ran into something solid. It was a short boy.He looked up at me, “My, you’re tall!”Of course, the class began to laugh. Angry, I walked to my seat without a word. Before I knew, the newcomer was standing in front of Mr. McCarthy’s desk, telling him that his name was Carlos Herrera and he'd moved to Galeton from New York.“Take that seat.” Mr. McCaahy told Carols, pointing to the only empty one, at the back of the room.Carlos grinned(咧嘴笑). “But I need a couple of dictionaries.”Again the class laughed, but now they were laughing with Carlos, not at him. He had been here only l0 minutes and already he had them on his side. And before long, he and I became familiar.One day, he looked up at me seriously with his brown eyes. “I don’t understand why you are so touchy(易怒的).” My face turned red and I said sharply, “You wouldn’t understand.”He followed me. “I should, Karen,” he said. “You and I have a lot in common. You are too tall, and I’m too short.”“You seem to get along well.” I admitted. “But what about me？ No boy wants to date a girl who is taller than he is.”“The trouble with you is you’re afraid to be yourself. You’re smart. And you could be pretty. In fact, you might be more than pretty.”I felt myself turning red.“I’m getting a great idea,” said Carlos, and right then he suggested being my personal manager.I wasn’t sure. “W-e-ll—”Soon after that, he had my new life planned. I was to let my hair grow, wear a fitted sweater and neat skirt, and lift my head and say “Hi” to everyone.I was to volunteer to work on the school paper and go out for dramatics(戏剧表演).Then one day, he told me about his latest brain waves: he dug up a play which was about a six-foot model who fell in love with a short man.“You, I suppose, are the short man,”1 said.He grinned. “And you’re the model.”“No way,” I cried, “I don’t want to be funny.”Carlos gave me a pleading(恳求) look. “Karen, I’ve never asked you for a thing for myself, have I？”He hadn’t. So, I said yes.Here came the show time. Carlos as the short man and I, the model, were seated at a table. From our talk the audience could tell we were falling in love. That was nothing funny yet. Then as we stood up, the terrible difference in our size became clear. The audience burst into laughter.The play turned out to be very successful. People poured backstage to congratulate us. Mother and Dad were extremely happy and excited. “I’m proud of you, sweetheart.” mother said.Carlos threw his arms around my waist(腰). He said, “You are wonderful.”And I said, “Thank you, Carlos, my dear friend!”24．Why did Carlos say “But I need a couple of dictionaries”(in Para.5)？A．He had some new words to look up.B．He was new to this class.C．He worked pretty hard.D．He was too short to sit at the back.25．Why could Carlos be so popular？A．He was quite grateful.B．He dared to be himself.C．He did not think he was short.D．He was very generous.26．Their play was a big success because of __________.A．their classmates’ adviceB．Carlos’ ambition to become an actorC．the difference in their heightD．Carlos’ aim to make Karen more confident considered27．Before Carlos arrived. Karen had been __________ at school.A．1ively and popular B．considered quite prettyC．troubled by her height D．looked down upon by othersCLike most people born and brought up in a big city, I always believed that carrots grew m trees.But I’d always dreamed of living in the country. When my husband and I realized that our Toronto house was worth a large sum of money thanks toout-of-control housing prices, we decided to take the chance, sell and buy a piece of paradise(乐园) in a town northwest of the city.That was four years ago. I and Richard had no experience of living in the country. But at this stage of our lives, it was exciting to begin a new adventure. Besides, my parents were gone, the kids were grown and, to be honest, if I saw one more apartment building go up in my neighbourhood, the top of my head was going to explode.The first winter in our new home was a difficult one, with more snow falling than in the past 10 years. I learned the true meaning of “cabin fever(幽闭烦躁症)”—when I developed an uncontrollable thought to beat Richard over the head with a stick because I couldn’t stand the sound of the air blowing through his nose when he breathed. We were trapped together 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. A lot! It wasn’t pretty. When spring came I found myself driving to the city at least once every few weeks. I need to hug a tall building. I wasn’t quite used to the new life so well.But there are so many wonderful things about living in the country. I first realized it would be different when I, with 12 items(物品), went through the express lane(快速结帐通道) at the local supermarket which is for people taking 5 items or less and nobody threatened my life or even gave me dirty looks. People actually smiled at me.And driving around the countryside is a relaxing experience. I have discovered clouds. I am fascinated by all sorts of lovely birds and wildlife. I’m getting into a new role and a new life and it feels good. Now, I’m at home, the city is no longer where I belong. I’m here forever.So, there is no doubt that carrots grow in the ground.28．The author and her husband moved to the countryside when ____________. A．they retired from workB．their kids were grownC．their parents were goneD．they sold their city house at a high price29．How was their first winter in the country？A．Discouraging. B．Frightening.C．Boring. D．Exhausting.30．The author shares her experience in a supermarket to show_________. A．people in the country are niceB．people in the country lead simple livesC．supermarkets in the country have a few customersD．she is cleverer than people in the country31．What is the meaning of underlined sentence “So, there is no doubt that carrots grow in theground”(the last paragraph)？A．Carrots can be gathered in the ground.B．The author is interested in agriculture.C．The author has totally got used to the life in the country.D．Carrots are very common in the country.DUS spaceman Scott Kelly said he is fighting tiredness but is back to his normal height after nearly one year in space.Kelly’s 340-day mission(任务)—spent testing the effects of long—term spaceflight ahead of a future mission to Mars, along with Russian spaceman Mikhail Kornienko—wrapped up early Wednesday when they landed in freezing Kazakhstan aboard a Soyuz spaceship.One of the effects of the spending such a long time without gravity was that Kelly’s spine(脊柱) got longer temporarily, making him grow 3.8 centimeters, only to go back to normal as he returned to Earth.His twin brother, Mark Kelly, said they were the same height again by the time they hugged in Houston early on Thursday.According to John Charles, human research program associate manager of international science at NASA(National Aeronautics and Space Administration), any height gain “probably went away very quickly because fluid(体液) gradually got more and more in the discs between the bones in the spine.”Kelly also said reports that he had grown a full 5.1 centimeters were exaggerated.“I don’t know where that came from. I did measure myself and it was an inch and a half, so maybe somebody just decided to just round up and write it as a fact,” he told reporters in his first extended media appearance since his rectum.The details are of great importance because a team of doctors is carefully researching all the differences between Kelly and his twin, who is also a spaceman but who stayed on Earth to take part in the study.The details of those ongoing studies are secret for now, as scientists will do further analysis and provide their findings for other researches before publishing them.The idea is to learn more about the harmful effects of spaceflight before NASA green lights any deeper space mission to Mars, journeys that would last a year or more.32．What made Scott Kelly grow taller after he spent 340 days in space？A．Loneliness.B．Low amount of oxygen.C．The lack of gravity.D．Harmful effects of spaceflight.33．What did Scott Kelly mean by saying “the reports…were exaggerated”(in Para. 6)A．The reports were illegal.B．The reports were total lies.C．He was annoyed about the reports.D．He did not grow that much.34．The job of Mark Kelly, Scott Kelly’s twin brother, in the study is _______. A．to comfort Scott B．to compare with ScottC．to protect Scott D．to take care of Scott35．Why are the details of the studies secret？A．The studies are harmful to spacemen.B．Scientists have not finished their jobs yet.C．NASA does not permit giving out the details.D．The studies concern the safety of human beings.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。

My father was a factory worker, and my mother stayed at home. Each year my father would dress up as Santa Claus and go through the streets of the projects sharing joy and candies with the children there. He loved it as much as they did!But around the Christmas in 1970, my father was out of his job and money was tight. In fact, there was no money for Christmas and my parents weren’t sure what they’d provide for us.That Christmas Eve, however, as usual, my father left the house dressed as Santa Claus. He knew that even though our Christmas would be hard, he could not disappoint the other kids in the neighborhood.As my father left the house and went down the walkway, Santa Claus was walking up, with a great sack full of gifts for us! He said nothing, only smiled a sweet smile at my father, and wished him a Merry Christmas. The happy man handed Dad the sack and walked away down the block.We never knew who the man was and who showed us great kindness on a snowy Christmas night. We do know, however, that without him we would have had nothing under the tree. His kindness gave my parents hope and showed us in a very real way the true meaning of Christmas.Our family has never forgotten this kind stranger. Each year we tell the story of the mysterious Santa Claus and try to repay his gifts by giving gifts to others in need.51．The author’s father ______.A. was once the richest man in his hometownB. was working in a government officeC. had to support a family of 9 peopleD. looked like Santa Claus most52．What happened in 1970?A.

To make it easier, students need to get familiar with their school.Ev en though they’ve done this already in the middle school, it’s still important to find where their classrooms are. Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year. And, most schools also have a freshman (新生) speech for parents and students before the first year begins. Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school. This can help students and parents to find different places in the school.One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join a club or play a sport. Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports. Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school. If you are not interested in sports, there are clubs for any interest, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community service, etc. These clubs allow students from different grades. By joining an activity, students can find new friendships, not to mention improving their chances in future college applications (申请). The school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them.What’s more, to have a great start to a high school year, students can write down some of their worries, and ask for help from teachers and school workers.55．According to the text, most students feel ______ when entering the high school.A. excitedB. nervousC. lonelyD. disappointed56．Which of the following is TRUE about the school clubs?A.

There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so much more.There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you’ll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas that they live.When you are on a bicycle, you have the advantage of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter mode (方式) of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach, you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.There are many choices of hiring a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size. These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors to please any taste. If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike (双人单车), now is your chance, because they have those too.A bicycle hire on Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once.

He brought new energy to the science department there. He created school pr ojects, and got parents’ support in their children’s work. He always tried to be creative with each activity, and he didn’t like using textbooks much. One girl in his class said he could probably make it interesting to watch grass grow. During lunch, his students come to his room to talk; get help, visit his turtle（海龟）and sometimes join him in playing the guitar. He writes songs and develops games about science. He says one of his goals as a teacher is to create people who will continue to learn throughout their lives.The National Teacher of the Year is a professional award（奖）in the United States. The program began in 1952. Each state chooses one teacher as the winner of the state teachers of the year. President George Bush honored top teachers at the White House. He said that in Michael Geisen’s first two years as head of the school science department, students of his school got high scores on a state science test, and they were still improving.At the White House, Michael Geisen said that students are born to be creative, curious and alive, so we need to really encourage students’ creativity and their desire to learn useful skills to face the future world. Our job is to educate the en tire child.63．From the text, we learn that Michael Geisen .A. is an American writer.B. has won the National Teacher of the Year twice.C. wins support from the parents of his students.D. got a master’s degree when he was35.64．The students of Michael Grisen think that their teacher is .A. serious.B. friendly.C. strict.D. polite.65．Which of the following is TRUE about the National Teacher of the Year program?A.

George Bush met Michael Geisen’s students at the White House.D. Michael Grisen is the head of the science department at his school.EMany people turn to doctors or self-help books, but they ignore a powerful thing that could help them fight illness: their friends.Researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship in health. A 10-year Australian study found that old People with a large circle of friends. A large 2007 study showed an increase of nearly 60 percent in the risk (危险) for obesity (肥胖) among people whose friends gained weight. And last year, Harvard researchers reported that strong social ties could improve brain health as we age.“In general, the role of friendship in our lives isn’t well realized,”said Rebecca, a professor at the University of North Carolina. “Friendship has a bigger effect on our psychological (心理的) health than family relationships.”While many friendship studies are about the close relationships of women, some research shows that it can do good to men too. In a six-year study of 736 middle-aged men, having friendships reduces the risk of heart attack. Only smokingwas as important a risk factor (因素) as having little social support.Exactly why friendship has such a big effect isn’t entirely clear. While friends can send a sick person to the hospital or pick up medicine, the advantages go well beyond physical help. Friendship clearly has a big psychological effect. “People with stronger friendships feel like there is someone they can turn to,” said Karen, a doctor. “The message of these studies is that friends make your life better.”67．The three studies in paragraph2 show that .A. old people need friends the most.B. friends can help us lose weight.C. social ties (关系) are connected to healthD. more friends make us healthier.68．What do Rebecca’s words in paragraph3 mea n?A. Friendship is more important to women than to men.B. What people need most is a friend’s care.C. Friendship is more important than family relationshipD. The value of friendship hasn’t been fully understood. 69．The author mentioned smoking in the text to discuss .A. the cause of heart attack.B. the risk of having no friends.C. smoking is bad for men.D. friends’ influence on habits.70．What would be the best title of the text?A. Friends are the best medicine.B. Friends are as important as a family.C. Having good friends leads to a longer life.D. Friendship makes people happy.第四部分：书面表达(满分40分)第一节：完成句子（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）71．Look , the man （在遛狗的）is a famous artist.（walk）72．Your speech was heard by a group of judges, （所有人都同意）that it was the best one this year. （agree）73．As we didn’t reach an agreement on how to save costs of the advertisement project, the boss insisted that（再开一次会）tomorrow. （hold）74．She has a short memory and this is the fourth time that she (忘记) lock the door.

2022-2023学年湖北省黄冈市重点中学高一(下)期中英语试卷(含答案)
2022-2023学年湖北省黄冈市重点中学高一（下）期中英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共37.5分）AThe United States celebrates Valentine's Day each year on February 14.Many other countries celebrate Valentine's Day,too,each in their own way.Here is a look at the Valentine's Day traditions in three countries.Wales：land of love spoonsIn Wales,it is called St.Dwynwen's Day,which takes place on January 25.The traditional romantic gift on this day is a love spoon.Beginning in the 17th century,Welsh men made beautiful wooden spoons as a show of their love for that special person in their lives.Each shape of the spoons has a different meaning.For example,horseshoes mean good luck；keys represent the key to a lover's heart；and wheels are a sign of support.Argentina：a week of sweetsArgentina celebrates Valentine's Day in February,but also gives a whole other week to love in July.They call it Sweetness Week.If you kiss someone,they have to give you a sugary treat.Sweetness Week started in 1989 with a candy company called Arcor.They made an advertisement called "Candy for a Kiss".The idea was to give the company's chocolates and other candies in exchange for a sweet kiss on the cheek.The campaign had a stronger effect than the company expected—it led to a new holiday! Every July,couples who take part give each other candies and kisses all week long. South Korea：three is a charmFor South Koreans,Valentine's Day happens in three parts：February 14，March 14 and April 14.On February 14，women traditionally give men gifts of chocolate to show their love.One month later,on a holiday known as White Day,men show their thanks by giving women a sweet gift.The name "White Day" comes from the custom of giving white-colored gifts.Let's not forget Black Day on April 14.Single people who did not get gifts on February 14 or March 14 often gather on Black Day to eat noodles with black bean soup.1. What does a key-shaped spoon mean？______A. Deep love.B. Good luck.C. Strong support.D. Real thanks.2. When is Sweetness Week celebrated？______A. In February.B. In March.C. In April.D. In July.3. What would be a good gift on White Day？______A. Brown chocolates.B. Black beans.C. White milk candiesD. Silver spoons.BSaturday March 28，2020Dear Dad and Mom，The time has come - I'm graduating，and I thank you both for all your help during these 15 years.I still remember when you used to say，"You can be whatever you want." I'm so glad you are my parents，especially when I hear kids say they don't geton well with theirs.I'm glad that you support me when I decide to do anything.You always try to help，and that's important to me.Dad，I remember when you first took me fishing.I loved going even though I never caught anything.I also remember when you would get angry with me.I realized you were only trying to show me the right way.When I cried，you would always be there to try to cheer me up.That's what I call a good，loving，caring dad.Sometimes you and Mom don't agree with me，but you are there on my side in anything that I do，and that's why I love you both so much.Mom，I enjoy going out with you and having our happy time every Friday night，and I hope that never changes.I love telling you everything and the best part about you is that you listen.I'm glad we do a lot together.You love to have fun，and Dad does，too.You always give me your opinion and I listen.Thank you for bringing me up. There may be many frustrations and setbacks on the road to the future，but the thought of your support and help fills my heart with strength.Dear Mom and Dad，I love you and I love our family.I hope and believe that we will be happy all the time. Love always，Alison4. Alison writes the letter to show ______ to her parents.A. wishesB. supportC. helpD. thanks5. In Alison's opinion，other kids of her age may ______ their parents.A. get on well withB. have problems withC. like to talk toD. like to listen to6. Father might get angry with her when Alison ______ .A. didn't accept himB. didn't do things in the right wayC. didn't catch any fishD. didn't agree with her parents7. What makes Alison and her mother become good friends？______A. Cheering up each other.B. Encouraging each other.C. Listening to each other and having fun together.D. Going out together.CYou may be surprised to learn that one of the best steps you can take to protect your health is to step outside and spend some time in the grass，dirt and water.Our ancestors enjoyed the healing power of nature，and now scientists are starting to catch up.Researchers have documented how contact with nature can decrease mental tiredness，and enhance moods，concentration and problem-solving.Just having a view of nature has been shown to improve hospital patients' recovery and reduce illness rates.Exposure to the open air，horseback riding，hiking，camping can be helpful for a variety of health conditions in adults and children.Much of this type of research is focusing on children，and in fact an entire movement has quickly developed to connect kids with the healing power of nature.Obesity.Rates of childhood，adult obesity and related conditions including diabetes （糖尿病）and heart disease have grown greatly in recent years，partly because of reducing the time of outdoor activities.This problem can be partly addressed by increasing the time students spend learning about nature，both in and outside theclassroom.Such lessons are often more engaging to students and often lead them to become more active outside.Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder（ADHD）（注意力缺失症）.An exposure to ordinary natural settings in the course of common after school and weekend activities may be widely effective in reducing attention shortness symptoms（症状）in children.Participation in green activities helps ADHD patients keep focused and complete tasks.Stress.Access to nature，even houseplants，can help children deal with stress. Depression and seasonal emotional disorder.Major depression requires medical treatment，but physical activity，especially those done outdoors，can help ease symptoms.Staying in the sunshine for just a few minutes can also help supplybone-building vitamin D.Experts say that simply walking in a city park can enjoy nature's benefits.8. According to the passage，which of the following is the most important for you to keep healthy？______A. Healthy diet.B. Exercises.C. Outdoor activities.D. No smoking.9. The underlined word "enhance" in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______ .A. improveB. addC. destroyD. control10. From the first paragraph，what do we know？______A. People didn't enjoy the healing power of nature until recent years.B. Having a view of nature is the only way to improve health conditions.C. Outdoor activities are good for people's health.D. Researchers have found out what causes people's mental tiredness and illness.11. .The effects of outdoor activities include EXCEPT ______ .A. Helping people to control stressB. helping children to increase the vitamin D levelC. helping people to reduce the symptoms of ADHDD. helping scientists to believe the rates of adult obesity and the healing power of the open airDLots of animals play.But the behavior is best known in mammals（哺乳动物）and birds.Now the scientists at London's Queen Mary University report that bumblebees （大黄蜂）know the same thing.But before this，there were no reports of insects playing.rs Chittka began to wonder if bumblebees played during an earlier test.In that test，Chittka guided bumblebees to move balls into a goal for food.He noticed that some bees were rolling（滚动）balls even when they weren't given food.He wondered if they were playing.To test the idea，the scientists at his lab set up a new test.First，they numbered 45 young bumblebees between one and 23 days old.The numbers let them follow bumblebees' behavior.Then，they set up a clear pathway from the bumblebees' home to a feeding area.On either side of the open pathway，the researchers placed small colored wooden balls.On one side of the path，the balls couldn't move.On theother side，the balls could roll around.For three hours a day，over 18 days，the scientists opened the pathway between the home and the feeding area.The bumblebees never had to leave the pathway to find food，but they left anyway.They weren't interested in the side where the balls didn't move，but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls.Catching the balls with their legs，the bees would move their wings to pull on the balls，causing them to roll.The 45 numbered bumblebees did this 910 times during the test.Though some only did it once，others did it a lot.The younger ones liked to spend more time rolling balls while the older ones showed less interest in it.One bee was recorded rolling balls 44 times in a single day.One was seen rolling balls 117 times over the whole test.The test raises important questions about how the insects' minds work and whether they have feelings.12. What did Chittka want to do about bumblebees in the earlier test？______A. Discover if they played.B. Train them to move balls.C. Make them learn to relax.D. Find out if they'd share food.13. What did the scientists do to bumblebees before the new test？______A. They named each of them.B. They let them interested in balls.C. They had all of them go hungry.D. They marked them one by one.14. What can we say about the older bumblebees' behavior in the new test？______A. They held their attention for longer.B. They understood simpler numbers.C. They were less active in rolling balls.D. They helped the young pull on balls.15. What's the best title for the text？______A. Bumblebees Are First Insects Known to Play.B. Two Tests Prove Bumblebees Expect to Play.C. Bumblebees Are the World's Smartest Insects.D. Scientists Make Bumblebees Work for Them.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）Middle school is a big step in any kid's life.Middle school may be challenging，but if you make the most of these three or four years，you can make great progress.（1）______Obey your school rules!If you don't want to get in trouble in your first year，don't break school rules.Make sure you learn your school's dress code as well as the other rules.Follow those rules.

AA wet father dialed 999 to ask police for a lift home—because it was raining.The man was walking along a flyover(立交桥) with his children when the heavens opened.He shamelessly phoned the emergency service and begged for a lift, threatening to complain(投诉) to police watchdogs unless they helped.Passing officers decided they would pick up the man and his children and drive them to a bus stop.A neighbourhood police officer for the area flagged up Sunday’s incident in Shoreham, West Sussex, in a message posted on Facebook.It read: “At 12.16 pm a male dialed 999 because it was raining and he wanted a lift home. Threatened to complain to the PCC when he was told no.”A Sussex Police spokesperson confirmed: “A man rang from the Shoreham flyover to say he was stuck on foot in rain on his way home on Sunday, and wanted a lift. A passing police car did give him a lift to the adjacent A283 as he had young children with him. He was then left as he was able to wait for a bus or phone for a taxi. Clearly, 999 is for public use only in emergencies.”However, the poor use of public service has been widely blamed.A Sussex police officer, who asked to remain anonymous(匿名的), said: “Obviously, this is not why people should call 999. He was lucky he was not punished for wasting police time.”Matthew Sinclair, chief executive of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, added: “It’s ridiculous that this important service was used for such a trivial issue. Taxpayers expect police to spend their time protecting the public from crime(犯罪), not act as a taxi service.”21．Why did the policemen eventually agree to give them a lift？A．They were totally wet.B．The man’s kids were young.C．They couldn’t afford the taxi fare.D．Their cell phones were out of power.22．The reason why the police officer said the man was “lucky” is that _________. A．people usually couldn’t get away with wasting police timeB．the man and his kids had been sent homeC．the man and his kids met some warm—hearted officersD．people concerned about the man and his kids23．Which word below can take the place of “trivial” in the last second paragraph？A．small. B．funny.C．strange. D．crazy.BThe first time I saw him I would never have believed he was going to change my life. 1 had my arms full of books and I was entering the classroom when I ran into something solid. It was a short boy.He looked up at me, “My, you’re tall!”Of course, the class began to laugh. Angry, I walked to my seat without a word. Before I knew, the newcomer was standing in front of Mr. McCarthy’s desk, telling him that his name was Carlos Herrera and he'd moved to Galeton from New York.“Take that seat.” Mr. McCaahy told Carols, pointing to the only empty one, at the back of the room.Carlos grinned(咧嘴笑). “But I need a couple of dictionaries.”Again the class laughed, but now they were laughing with Carlos, not at him. He had been here only l0 minutes and already he had them on his side. And before long, he and I became familiar.One day, he looked up at me seriously with his brown eyes. “I don’t understand why you are so touchy(易怒的).” My face turned red and I said sharply, “You wouldn’t understand.”He followed me. “I should, Karen,” he said. “You and I have a lot in common. You are too tall, and I’m too short.”“You seem to get along well.” I admitted. “But what about me？ No boy wants to date a girl who is taller than he is.”“The trouble with you is you’re afraid to be yourself. You’re smart. And you could be pretty. In fact, you might be more than pretty.”I felt myself turning red.“I’m getting a great idea,” said Carlos, and right then he suggested being my personal manager.I wasn’t sure. “W-e-ll—”Soon after that, he had my new life planned. I was to let my hair grow, wear a fitted sweater and neat skirt, and lift my head and say “Hi” to everyone. I was to volunteer to work on the school paper and go out for dramatics(戏剧表演).Then one day, he told me about his latest brain waves: he dug up a play which was about a six-foot model who fell in love with a short man.“You, I suppose, are the short man,”1 said.He grinned. “And you’re the model.”“No way,” I cried, “I don’t want to be funny.”Carlos gave me a pleading(恳求) look. “Karen, I’ve never asked you for a thing for myself, have I？”He hadn’t. So, I said yes.Here came the show time. Carlos as the short man and I, the model, were seated at a table. From our talk the audience could tell we were falling in love. That was nothing funny yet. Then as we stood up, the terrible difference in our size became clear. The audience burst into laughter.The play turned out to be very successful. People poured backstage to congratulate us. Mother and Dad were extremely happy and excited. “I’m proud of you, sweetheart.” mother said.Carlos threw his arms around my waist(腰). He said, “You are wonderful.” And I said, “Thank you, Carlos, my dear friend!”24．Why did Carlos say “But I need a couple of dictionaries”(in Para.5)？A．He had some new words to look up.B．He was new to this class.C．He worked pretty hard.D．He was too short to sit at the back.25．Why could Carlos be so popular？A．He was quite grateful.B．He dared to be himself.C．He did not think he was short.D．He was very generous.26．Their play was a big success because of __________.A．their classmates’ adviceB．Carlos’ ambition to become an actorC．the difference in their heightD．Carlos’ aim to make Karen more confident considered27．Before Carlos arrived. Karen had been __________ at school.A．1ively and popular B．considered quite prettyC．troubled by her height D．looked down upon by othersCLike most people born and brought up in a big city, I always believed that carrots grew m trees.But I’d always dreamed of living in the country. When my husband and I realized that our Toronto house was worth a large sum of money thanks to out-of-control housing prices, we decided to take the chance, sell and buy a piece of paradise(乐园) in a town northwest of the city.That was four years ago. I and Richard had no experience of living in the country. But at this stage of our lives, it was exciting to begin a new adventure. Besides, my parents were gone, the kids were grown and, to be honest, if I saw one more apartment building go up in my neighbourhood, the top of my head was going to explode.The first winter in our new home was a difficult one, with more snow falling than in the past 10 years. I learned the true meaning of “cabin fever(幽闭烦躁症)”—when I developed an uncontrollable thought to beat Richard over the head with a stick because I couldn’t stand the sound of the air blowing through his nose when he breathed. We were trapped together 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. A lot! It wasn’t pretty. When spring came I found myself driving to the city at least once every few weeks. I need to hug a tall building. I wasn’t quite used to the new life so well.But there are so many wonderful things about living in the country. I first realized it would be different when I, with 12 items(物品), went through the express lane(快速结帐通道) at the local supermarket which is for people taking 5 items or less and nobody threatened my life or even gave me dirty looks. People actually smiled at me.And driving around the countryside is a relaxing experience. I have discovered clouds. I am fascinated by all sorts of lovely birds and wildlife. I’m getting into a new role and a new life and it feels good. Now, I’m at home, the city is no longer where I belong. I’m here forever.So, there is no doubt that carrots grow in the ground.28．The author and her husband moved to the countryside when ____________.A．they retired from workB．their kids were grownC．their parents were goneD．they sold their city house at a high price29．How was their first winter in the country？A．Discouraging. B．Frightening.C．Boring. D．Exhausting.30．The author shares her experience in a supermarket to show_________.A．people in the country are niceB．people in the country lead simple livesC．supermarkets in the country have a few customersD．she is cleverer than people in the country31．What is the meaning of underlined sentence “So, there is no doubt that carrots grow in theground”(the last paragraph)？A．Carrots can be gathered in the ground.B．The author is interested in agriculture.C．The author has totally got used to the life in the country.D．Carrots are very common in the country.DUS spaceman Scott Kelly said he is fighting tiredness but is back to his normal height after nearly one year in space.Kelly’s 340-day mission(任务)—spent testing the effects of long—term spaceflight ahead of a future mission to Mars, along with Russian spaceman Mikhail Kornienko—wrapped up early Wednesday when they landed in freezing Kazakhstan aboard a Soyuz spaceship.One of the effects of the spending such a long time without gravity was that Kelly’s spine(脊柱) got longer temporarily, making him grow 3.8 centimeters, only to go back to normal as he returned to Earth.His twin brother, Mark Kelly, said they were the same height again by the time they hugged in Houston early on Thursday.According to John Charles, human research program associate manager of international science at NASA(National Aeronautics and Space Administration), any height gain “probably went away very quickly because fluid(体液) gradually got more and more in the discs between the bones in the spine.”Kelly also said reports that he had grown a full 5.1 centimeters were exaggerated.“I don’t know where that came from. I did measure myself and it was an inch and a half, so maybe somebody just decided to just round up and write it as a fact,” he told reporters in his first extended media appearance since his rectum.The details are of great importance because a team of doctors is carefully researching all the differences between Kelly and his twin, who is also a spaceman but who stayed on Earth to take part in the study.The details of those ongoing studies are secret for now, as scientists will do further analysis and provide their findings for other researches before publishing them.The idea is to learn more about the harmful effects of spaceflight before NASA green lights any deeper space mission to Mars, journeys that would last a year or more.32．What made Scott Kelly grow taller after he spent 340 days in space？A．Loneliness.B．Low amount of oxygen.C．The lack of gravity.D．Harmful effects of spaceflight.33．What did Scott Kelly mean by saying “the reports…were exaggerated”(in Para. 6) A．The reports were illegal.B．The reports were total lies.C．He was annoyed about the reports.D．He did not grow that much.34．The job of Mark Kelly, Scott Kelly’s twin brother, in the study is _______.A．to comfort Scott B．to compare with ScottC．to protect Scott D．to take care of Scott35．Why are the details of the studies secret？A．The studies are harmful to spacemen.B．Scientists have not finished their jobs yet.C．NASA does not permit giving out the details.D．The studies concern the safety of human beings.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。
湖北省黄冈中学高一年级英语第二学期英语期中测试题含答题卡及答案
高一英语第二学期期中测试考试卷第I卷第一部分阅读理解（共40分）一．阅读理解根据短文内容选择最佳答案（每小题2分，共30分）AThere once was a very honest shopkeeper whose business was to provide goods to the local people. He would open his shop at 8:00 a.m. after having his breakfast and at 1:00 p.m. he would go for lunch. In the evening at 8:30 p.m. he closed his shop to complete his daily routine.However, to get time for lunch was really difficult because he didn’t have anybody to help him at that time. Therefore, it was his daily practice that whichever customer was shopping at 1:00 p.m. would be asked to oversee (看管) the shop until the shopkeeper returned from lunch.One day, a group of four thieves planned to steal from his shop while he was gone for lunch. One of the thieves went at 1:00 p.m. to be the customer that would be asked to oversee the shop.The thief, pretending to be a customer, went in at 1:00 p.m. and started buying several items. As planned, the shop-keeper asked the thief to sit on his chair for thirty minutes until he returned from lunch.Then, the other three thieves quickly came and told the pretend customer to help, but something had changed within him and he kne w deeply in his heart that if he was given responsibility for the shop, he should not perform any dishonest acts during that time. His friends did not agree. As the now honest man tr ied to stop them, they resisted (抵抗) and a fight started. And at the same time the shopkeeper returned and asked why there was a fighting. The now honest man explained the entire plan.The shopkeeper had been searching for an honest man who could take ownership of the shop and run it. The shop-keeper felt that he had found the right man.1. What is the problem for the shopkeeper?A. Nobody could prepare lunch for him every day.B. He had nobody to keep the shop when he went for lunch.C. He was too busy to have lunch every day.D. He couldn’t find a person to work at the shop.2. Why did the thief go to the shop at 1:00 p.m.?A. Because he thought he would be asked to keep the shop.B. Because the shopkeeper invited him to lunch then.C. Because the shop was closed at that time.D. Because he thought he could buy cheap things then.3. When the shopkeeper returned from lunch, he found _______.A. everything in his shop was stolenB. the thief became the new owner of the shopC. there was a fighting in his shopD. the thief helped his fellows steal things from his shop4. From the passage, we can infer that _______.A. once a thief, he will always be a thiefB. an honest man will be responsible for his actionC. you can’t believe in a dishonest man foreverD. trust can change a thief into an honest manBSunnyN owadays they are giving homework even during the holidays and I hate that very much. But I think there is a reason for it. Homework is given so that we can remember whatever we have learnt. Regular drilling and repetition make perfect. But teachers have started to give too much homework. Anything in excess (过度) is bad. So homework should be given with the idea of giving students a practice and not to overwork them.JaneWhat’s the use of just homework without allowing children to get an insight (洞察) into the subject? It just makes them bookworms but nothing else. Homework such as writing some things 5 times at home will just make them memorize things but not put them into use. I regret to say that teachers find it easy to bundle (归拢) the children with homework rather than making them get interested to understand what they learn. The same trend continues even in college. I find that most of the so-called high scorers are unable to answer simple things in an interview.SallyIt is OK to give homework. But it should be given less. We are spending most of our time in school and at least we must be free in our home. If you give homework, we will be very tired and we wouldn’t be able to pay attention to extra-curricular activities, which in turn may affect our physical and mental health. So please give less homework to us.JohnsonIt is part of our work to give students homewor k. There will be some punishments if we won’t do our work. So I have to do that though I know such a teacher is not liked by students.5. Who thinks that too much homework may do harm to students’ physical and mental health?A. Sunny.B. Jane.C. Sally.D. Johnson.6. According to the last paragraph, why do teachers give students homework?A. Because they care more about students’ metal health.B. Because they find it easy to control students in this way.C. Because they will be punished if they don’t give homework.D. Because they want students to get interested in their studies.7. What problem do the speakers talk about?A. Whether students should be punished without doing homework.B. What kind of homework should be given to students.C. What role homework plays in helping students to learn.D. Whether teachers should give homework to students.CA car needs gas to run and your body also needs food to work for you. Eating the right kind of food is very important. It can help your body grow strong to take care of what you eat.There are four main food groups altogether. The dairy group has food like milk, cheese and sour milk. The other three groups are the meat and fish group, the fruit and vegetable group, and the bread and rice group. Each meal should have at least one food from all four main groups. With all these food together, you will be given enough energy during the day.It is easy to get into bad eating habits. You may eat your breakfast in a hurry to get to school on time. Or you may not have time for a good lunch. It may seem easy to finish your supper with fish and chips all the time. But you will find yourself tired in these days and you can not think quickly.Watching what you eat will help keep your body healthy and strong. It is also good to take some exercise. It will help you eat more if you take a walk or play games in the open air. Having a good eating habit with some exercise is the key to your health.8. Which of the following is a good eating-habit?A. Going to school without any breakfastB. Eating fish and chips for supper all the time..C. Having at least one food from all four groups each meal.D. Having different food from all four food groups.9. In this passage the writer mainly tells us that _____.A. every person needs food to grow wellB.taking exercise can keep your body strongC. the right kind of food with exercise will keep you healthyD. enough energy helps people think more quickly10. The underlined word “dairy” in the second passage means _____.A. the food made out of cows such as milk and butterB. t he shop that sells milk and butterC. a farm where cows are keptD. a place where milk products are made.DIs there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth(财富),”wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the docto r.The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story.An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if th e man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigar ette a day.A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office.He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.“But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”11. The writer thinks that.A.health is more important than wealthB. work is as important as studiesC.medicine is more important than pleasureD. nothing is more important than money12. The doctor usually tells his patient what to do.A.without examining the patientB. after he has examined the patientC.if the patient doesn’t take medicineD. unless the patient feels pain13. The underlined part means “”.A.he was feeling better than everB. he wasn’t a healthy manC.he was feeling worse than beforeD. he will be well again14. From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the manbefore the doctor told him not to smokemore than one cigarette a day.A. was a heavy smokerB. didn’t smoke so muchC. didn’t smokeD. began to learn to smoke15. Which of the following is NOT true?A. The doctor usually tests his/her blood pressure when a person is ill.B. The man told the doctor he couldn’t remember t hings.C. The man thanked the doctor.D. The man didn’t f ollow the doctor’s advice.二．七选五（每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

As time went by, the weather turned cold gradually. Finally, winter came, and theydidn't see the rabbit any more. They often took food out to the edge of the bushes.

All winter they were worried about the rabbit—was she cold, was she scared and did she move anywhere else?Finally, spring came. The children watch for the rabbit day after day. Then one day inearly April, Thomas, Kathy and Carrie took the food out the bushes as usual. As they watched, the rabbit came out and grabbed it!

One Good Turn Deserves Another.CYou've finally tucked yourself into bed and cracked open the detective novel you've been waiting all day to get back to.Three pages later,you're fighting a losing battle against two suddenly very heavy eyelids（眼睑）.You were wide awake only minutes ago,and the protagonist（主角）just uncovered a promising new clue in the case.So,what gives？As the BBC's Science Focus explains,the comfort of your covers could be working against you.People usually try to read in a quiet,comfortable atmosphere,and those conditions happen to be ideal for sleep.Reading also eases your mind and draws its focus away fromwhatever might otherwise keep you awake."For many people,reading can be relaxing and enjoyable,which can put your mind and body in the appropriate mindset or mood to go to sleep," said Dr.Raman Malhotra,aneurologist and member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine's board of directors."The main reason reading may help some fall asleep is that it allows your mind some time to rest and relax before turning off the lights to fall asleep."The concentration required to process every word can be pretty exhausting,too,especially if your chosen tome （大部头）is confusing.And reading line after line of anything can make you feel like giving your eyes a break.These factors all make reading a great activity to add to your pre-sleep routine if you're looking for ways to fall asleep faster.But if your body's sleeping impulse is continually keeping you from enjoying a good book,there are some tricks to remove it.Book Riotsuggests reading in the morning,or trying an audiobook instead.Reading in a spot that isn't your bed - preferably one where you're sitting up,rather than lying down - canhelp,too.Reading in a public place like a coffee shop or park can also discourage sleep.8.What may happen if you read a detective novel on your comfortable bed？______A. You may uncover a new clue in the case.B. You may lose a battle with your competitor.C. You may stay awake for a long time at night.D. You may feel sleepy soon.9.The most important reason why reading may help fall asleep is that ______ .A. it can be relaxing and make you exhaustedB. it gives your mind a break and relaxation before sleepC. it allows your eyes a break before falling asleepD. it makes you concentrate on your chosen book10.Which of the following words can replace the underlined word "tricks" in the lastparagraph？______A. techniques.B. jokes.C. cheats.D. tools.11.The passage may be taken from ______ .A. a science fictionB. a detective novelC. a journal of psychologyD. a business websiteDOnce China's strict lockdown was lifted,we saw a sharp rise in divorce enquiries.And this behaviour was mirrored around the world.In the US，the UK and throughoutEurope,divorce rates have risen violently during the tvia,Lithuania andBelgium lead the way for the highest divorce rates in Europe.And in the USA，between 40-50% of marriages will end in divorce.The country with the lowest divorce rate in the world is India,followed by Chile,Colombia,Mexico and Turkey.Why they have the lowest divorce rates,and what are they doing differently？In many cases,access to divorce is a driving force behind a country's divorce rates.A country like Chile only legalized divorce in 2004，so the concept is still quite new and the local uptake is likely to be much slower.Another key factor in determining divorce rates of a country is the value placed on family life.In countries like Colombia,it's far more common for multiple generations from the same family to live together.This emphasis on family values places marriage at the heart of everything,so entering into a marriage is a more considered event.Countries such as India with a strong religious following are more likely to have low divorce rates.This is because marriage is more sacred（神圣的）when viewed from a religious perspective.Couples will be more likely to seek settlements or simply staytogether regardless when they hit bumps in the road.There are a number of factors at play here,so it's difficult to place a finger on one single factor that ensures couples enjoy a long and happy life together.And low divorce rates don't always mean that couples are happy,it can just mean that the importance of marriage outweighs individual happiness.Seeking a divorce doesn't have to be viewed as a failure；it can help you to get your life back on track and help you work towards a brighter and happier future.12.Which of the following countries has the highest divorce rates？______A.
