河南省济源四中2019届高三英语上学期第一次质量检查试题

济源四中2018—2019学年上学期第一次考试质量检测高三英语试题第一节、阅读理解(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)A.When you walk into a room on the 17th floor of Copenhagen’s Bella Sky Hotel, you’ll be greeted by soft roses and other fresh flowers, fruits, fashion magazines, and a bathroom with beau ty products. This is Europe’s first hotel floor dedicated(专用的)entirely to women—and according to the hotel’s CEO Arne Bang Mikkelsen, it is designed by women, for women.“Women’s hotel preferences(偏爱)are very different from men’s with key priorities (优先考虑的事)being to feel safe and comfortable. When men come into a hotel room, the first thing they do is check the view, turn on the TV, plug in their computer, and check out the fridge. Women, on the other hand, go straight to the bathroom. Does it smell nice? Is it clean? Does it have a nice bathtub and shower?”Unlike other hotels, it seemed like someone actually thought about what women wanted. To get it right, the hotel asked a number of women what they wanted, and added to their list of things like cleanliness, a nice bathroom, high-powered hairdryers, steam irons, cosmetic mirrors, healthy choices on the room service menus, and full-body mirrors.It seems that they are helped by the boom(繁荣)in female business travelers. Global numbers are hard to get, but a research report shows women account for about half of all business travelers in the US in 2010, up from approximately 25% in 1991. Places like the Naumi Hotel in Singapore, the Premier Hotel in New York, the London Dukes Hotel and the Georgian Court Hotel in Vancouver seem to be realizing the possibility in catering(迎合)for women.At the London Dukes Hotel, the manager says bookings(预订)for their “Duchess Rooms”,which are standard rooms with fresh flowers, fruit, and styling things, have increased 25% over the past year.21.We can learn from the text that Bella Sky Hotel _______.A. is the first hotel designed for womenB. offers special service to women guestsC. has a big garden with all kinds of flowersD. can arrange rooms according to guests’ wishes22. Paragraph 2 mainly wants to tell us _______.A. men are wiser in choosing hotelsB. guests usually care about fort mostC. women differ from men in judging a hotelD. hotels have difficulty satisfying each guest23.What can we learn from the text?A. Men gue sts usually don’t care about hotels’ cleanliness.B. Living in a hotel, women guests may consider their safety.C. Women business travelers spend more than men in hotels.D.

You will find music which tells of interesting places and exciting things to do. You will find music which expresses feelings that are often your own.Music is an expression of the people. As you research, you will find music of people at work and play. You will find music expressing love of the country, love of nature, and love of home.Music is also an expression of the composer(作曲家). The composer expresses his own musical ideas. He studies the materials of music and discovers ways of using them.He looks for new kinds of musical expression.Music can suggest actions and feelings which we all share. We can enjoy playing and singing music, dancing and listening to the music of the people and the composers of different times and places.25. In the first paragraph, the author tells us to_______.A. find entertainment(娱乐) in musicB. be friendly to musicC. express your feelings in musicD. discover the things and places in music26.From the second paragraph, we know that ________.A. if we love music, we will love the country, nature and homeB. music sings of the country, nature and homeC. you may listen to music at work or at playD. music can express how people live, work and think27.By means of music, the composer wishes that ________.A. you would study with themB. you would share his feelings and ideasC. you would express your own feelingsD. you help discover ways of using music and new kinds of musical expressionCShanghai Xintiandi Style Mall is filled with a festive mood, featuring large-scale equipment, knit works and various activities, under the theme "kiss"."Kissing is seldom taken as the theme of artworks because in oriental (东方的) culture, people restrain themselves from expressing their emotions," says Jiang Shan, who is in charge of the exhibition."Through the exhibition, we hope to encourage people to be confident and brave in expressing their love."Inside the mall, which covers a large area from Zizhong Lu (Road) to Fuxingnan Lu (Road), dozens of colorful decorations, including balloons, lollipops and lip-shaped decorations are hung on the walls and from the ceiling.Among the decorations, a bright-colored wool artwork attracts most eyeballs and brings about a feeling of warmth.The designer, Gu Yeli, says the art piece, Kiss Forest, was inspired by US artist Andy Warhol’s 1963 experimental film Kiss, which featured various couples kissing for three and a half minutes each. Gu also organizes a small workshop to teach knitting (编织) to children.Artist Wang Xuejun sets up a stainless-steel mirror at the mall's gate leading to Zizhong Lu. Visitors, including men, are invited to put on lipstick and kiss the mirror, thus kissing themselves.The Beast Floral Shop, a flower shop in Shanghai, contributes two walls of flowers that are made into the shape of a book, named Kiss Book. Artifacts (手工艺品) of bees and butterflies are fixed among the blossoms, kissing the flowers. The work represents love and harmony in nature.Architect Ma Ke creates a Kiss Bridge with transparent (透明的) acrylic boards and ceramic(陶瓷的)fishbowls. Bridges are often spots for dating lovers in traditional Chinese folk stories and the goldfish in the bowls are witnesses of the lovers' kisses. In the south plaza, an 18-meter-high interactive tree-shaped light equipment encourages people to kiss. Each kiss turns a certain light on, reminding audiences of their sweet childhood memories of kisses.At the side of the tree is a counter, in which each kiss is counted and representsa donation to charity organizations.28. What is the main idea of the article?A. It tells people how important kisses are to life.B. It introduces an exhibition under the theme "kiss".C.

It introduces various activities in Shanghai Xintiandi Style Mall.29.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. people encourage themselves to express their emotions.B. people teach themselves to express their emotions.C. people discourage themselves from expressing their emotions.D. people learn a lot from expressing their emotions.30.What can we learn from the article?A. Most people are interested in Jiang Shan's art piece, which brings about a feelingof warmth.B. Most visitors will kiss each other in front of the stainless-steel mirror at the gate.C. All the decorations in the mall are aimed at encouraging lovers to express theirlove bravely.D. The 18-meter-high interactive tree-shaped light equipment will be on for each kiss.31.The article above probably is taken from a ____________.A. textbookB. science and technology magazineC. travel leafletD. news websiteDBelow is a passage adapted from the network edition of China Daily.EventLi Yang, one of China’s most famous English teachers, apologiz ed for beating his American wife more than a week after she posted photos of her injuries on the web and set off a bomb of criticism.“I wholeheartedly apologize to my wife Kim and my girls for committing domestic violence. This has caused them serious phy sical and mental damage,” Li said on his microblog at , the country’s most popular social media site, on Saturday. Li, 42, is a mechanics major but is best known for his “Crazy English,” a popular method of language learning that involves yelling at the top of one’s lungs.He was at the center of public criticism after his wife Kim Lee put up posts on the web accusing him of abuse, showing her swollen forehead and knees.Voices@Xuemanzi, angel investorAnti-domestic violence laws should be made as soon as possible, giving protection to the rights of women and children lawfully. Police should not stand back from domestic violenceany longer, even if no one reports them. Society, as a whole, should attach greater importance to the crime.@ZhangxiaomeiChinese are never taught about marital(婚姻的) relations, which mean not merely living together. A good marriage needs to overcome three differences: family background, gender and personalities. In addition to these, there is cultural gap in Li Yang’s case. If the effects of these differences are not well understood, after the honeymoon period, they will turn into conflicts and endanger the marriage. Li’s domestic violence is a reminder that China needs such education.@Wuxiaolong, Sina Weibo userLi Yang’s choice to resort to domestic violence really reflects his character. Students who have attended his Crazy English Camp may know what I mean: Li wants his students to worship him as an idol. I still remember he once had his students kowtow(叩头) to him. He always teaches English by imposition(权威强制), which directly reflects his desire for power.@Sikaozhe, Sina Weibo userIn the US, the punishments for domestic violence are even more severe than stealing. If the police arrive at the wife’s call during a fighti ng between a couple and find injuries on her, they will immediately arrest the husband. Even if the wife doesn’t call the police, they may also show up as neighbors could well do their part.@ykxin Sina Weibo UserDon’t blindly worship anyone, because in e very closet there may hide a skeleton. As a famous Chinese saying goes, “Only they who do well in their daily routine tasks can fulfills their dreams on great occasions”. Not surprisingly, one who focuses too much on his career and ignores his family, like Li Yang, will fail in both. Don’t judge a person by his career success, wealth, or any other material aspect, because what finally decides a person is his character.Aftermath(余波)Although Li Yang publicly apologized to his wife, promising to love his daughters even ifhe and Lee divorce, the damage, perhaps permanently, has been done to his wife, his three daughters and the whole family.Wang Xingjuan, founder of the Maple Women’s Psychological Consulting Center, a non-profit organization, said nearly half of domestic violence abusers are people who have higher education, senior jobs and social status. She said this was probably because such people were usually under more mental stress.32.This passage is focused on Li Yang’s .A.microblog article B.domestic violenceC.English-teaching career D.international marriage33.Zhangxiaomei holds the view that .A.laws should be passed to protect women and childrenB.crazy personality accounts for violence and ill temperC.overcoming background gap is necessary for marriageD.Li is wrong to have his students worship him as an idol34.Who thinks that character plays the most important role in one’s life?A.@Xuemanzi B.@SikaozheC.@ykxin D.@Zhangxiaomei35.According to Wang Xingjuan, .A.people of higher education won’t easily lose temperB.people under stress tend to have domestic violenceC.people in lower social status often beat their wivesD.people with senior jobs seldom have family trouble第二节、七选五(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)How can we all get more laughter into our lives? Here is what the experts suggest:36. Nancy, a teacher in New York, was once painfully shy and had a hard time laughing.Then she married a circus clown (小丑). “I became interested in the clowns,” she recalls “One day I put on a costume and paint my face. That afternoon my whole life changed. I learned to laugh and enjoy life in a way I had never done before.”37.To this day, she still makes it a rule to be with people who enjoy life and laughing.38. It doesn’t take you too much time and can be easy. Collect favorite cartoons and jokes. Also, keep a paper for writing down humor you find in everyday life. “Good ideas come and go fast, you have to catch them quickly or they are g one,” says Tooper. Laugh when you need it most. “39.” says comedian Bill. “And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might by, you can survive it,” he insists. Gray, a sociology professor, claims that laughter is a skill we can all gain - because it comes naturally.40. Just remember: we are just here for a period, so get a few laughs.A. Mix with people who laugh.B. You can lessen your pain through humor.C. Practise the art of laughing.D. But it’s also something that has to be deve loped.E. He who laughs last laughs best.F. People’s joy can affect those around them.G. Keep a laughter file.第三节、完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)Nine years ago around Christmas, I was on a Captiva Island beach at sunrise.

After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin’s chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料). The smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜). Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up withcabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned of the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad’s pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around. It didn’t look that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it didn’t offend the nose so much, either. I took a taste. It would never win a prize in a cooking competition, but it was surprisingly edible(可食用的), and we drank up everylast drop of soup!24. Why did Dad clean Old Man McColgin’s chicken house regularly?A. To earn some money for the family.B. To get rid of the terrible smell.C. To collect manure for his crops.D. To set a good example to us.25. What can we infer about Dad’s stew?A. It is popular among the neighbors.B. It tastes quite delicious.C. It looks very wonderful.D. It contains honey and vegetables26. What does the underlined word “offend”in the last paragraph mean?A. To attract.B. To shutC. To air.D. To upset.27. What can we learn about Dad from the text?A. He is an experienced cook.B. He has a positive attitude to life.C. He is a troublesome father.D. He suffers a lot from his disabilityCOur surroundings are being polluted faster than nature and man’s present efforts cannot prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials.What can explain and solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man—by his desire for a modern way of life. We make “increasing industrialization”our chief aim. So we are often ready to offer everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefitsof our modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem.Isn’t it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going-and why? It makes one think of the story about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker, “I’ve some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we’re making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we’re lost and don't know where we’re going.”The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when spoken of our modern society.28. Man cannot prevent the world from being polluted mainly because ______.A. the population of the world is decreasing fastB. people use too many man-made materialsC. we have more and more industryD. we are producing more cars, trucks and buses29. People crowd into the cities because ______.A. they are anxious to enjoy the achievements of our societyB. they want very much to find well-paid jobsC. they have become tired of their homelandD. they have a strong wish to become industrial workers30. According to the passage, what does man value most?A. Health.B. Industry.C. Clean air.D. The future of the children31. The story about the airline pilot tells us that ______.A. man knows where the society is goingB. the writer is worried about the future of our societyC. man can do little about the problem of pollutionD. people do not welcome the rapid developmentof modern societyDOnce when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: be bold and brave and mighty(强大的)forces will come to your aid.Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill,sound judgment, creative ideas even physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,”said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet and stopped him.”Boldness a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks(挫折)and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to dosomething and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.32. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?A. He faced huge risks.B. He lacked mighty forces.C. Fear prevented him from trying.D. Failure blocked his way to success.33. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 3?A. Swallow more than you can digest.B. Act slightly above your abilities.C. Develop more mysterious powers.D. Learn to make creative decisions.34. What was especially important for Tim’s successful defense in the football game?A. His physical strength.B. His basic skill.C. His real fear.D. His spiritual force.35. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To encourage people to be courageous.B. To advise people to build up physical power.C. To tell people the ways to guarantee success.D. To recommend people to develop more abilities.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)When it comes to studying in college, managing your time well is of vital importance. Powerful tips can help you to handle real-life situations and develop first-class time- management skills that will improve efficiency and results.Make a detailed study schedule and write it down.36 You will be more likely to follow through with your study plan if it is clearly written on your calendar. Include your schedule in your cell phone and set regular pop-up reminders that you will have to close before sending your next text message. By doing so, you can develop a routine that you can easily follow.37This is a good way to ensure you spend the proper amount of time studying for each class or subject. Devote more time to studying subjects that are new to you or those in which your grade needs improvement. If an exam in one course has been delayed, adjust your study schedule to prioritize (优先处理) more immediate tests and projects. 38 Remember to take advantage of the extra time to review material during short study times each day.Prepare for temptation.Attending college and earning good grades is almost like a full-time job, so your studies will have to take priority over socializing or other activities. You will compromise (妥协) at some point, but don’t get discouraged. Rather, learn from your mistakes. 39 Stay organized.Staying organized is vital to avoid wasting valuable time as a student. Since you will be enrolled in several classes at a time, it is important that you organize your class and study materials. 40 Also, when going into a study session, make sure you have anything you need. Don’t interrupt your study session by searching your room for flash cards or notes.A. Prioritize your assignments.B. You should make it easy to access them.C. If you can stick to it, you will succeed in time.D. However, don’t forget delayed tests altogether.E. Make a subject-specific schedule and mark your calendar.F. By knowing your weaknesses, you’ll better try to resist temptation.G. Besides, establish a way to reward yourself with fun activities.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)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,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。

济源四中2018—2019学年上学期第一次质量检测高一英语试题(时间:100分钟分值:150分)第I卷第一部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节:(共20小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AA few years ago, Dave Stirling had the idea of selling CDs over the Internet. The business he started from his home in Ohio, the USA, now sells 500,000 CDs a year and has made him into a millionaire(百万富翁)at the age of 24."I could see that this was the future of shopping," says Stirling. "Why should you pay $15 for a CD and spend the time and the money getting into the store and parking your car? You can have the same CD for half of the price by clicking(敲击)on your computer. And we can find any CD you want and bring it to your door in 24 hours!"According to Stirling, this is the only beginning, "I believe that one day we'll do our shopping over the net: it's easier, quicker and cheaper. Shops and supermarkets will be the past."21. Dave Stirling started his business from______.A. his homeB. his companyC. the officeD. the country22. How has Stirling become so rich?A. By making ice cream.B. By making advertisements.C. By selling ideas to others.D. By selling CDs over the Internet.23. If you pay $15 for a CD in the store, how much should you pay for it over the net?A.$15.B.$12.C.$7.5.D.$30.24. By shopping over the net, you won't_____.A. spend the time and the moneyB. drive your car any moreC. click on your computerD. get into the store by yourselfBPeople in the United States honor their parents with two special days:M other’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible (有责任感的) citizens. They give love and care. These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery (墓地).On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.25. Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A. Parents bring up children.B. Parents give love and care to children.C. Parents educate children to be good persons.D. Parents pass away before children grow up.26. What do you think “florists” do?A. They sell flowers.B. They make and sell bread.C. They offer enough room for having family parties.D. They sell special gifts for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.27. What do you know from the passage?A. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are both in May.B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.C. Not all the children respect their parentsD. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.28. On Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, ________.A. people usually have family partiesB. everyone goes to visit the cemeteryC. children always go to parents’ homeCFootball T-shirts are more commonly connected with boys than girls. This can often cause a problem when you want to find a cool shirt for a girl. That is not to say that there are no cool shirts out there for girls to wear. The problem is that they are often harder to find than the ones for boys.You can get custom (订制的) shirt printed for girls from a number of custom print stores. Of course you have to make sure that they are legally allowed to use the logos (商标) and colors of the team you want to support.You can also go through official channels to get the shirt you want. The official channels will generally be the large sportswear stores or the official stores of the teams. These stores will be able to use the colors of the teams and even put the name of the person who the shirt is for on it.If you do not feel like you have to try the T-shirts on, then an online store may be your best choice. The reason for this is that you can visit various stores and find the best ones.If you want to see what the T-shirt looks like in real life, then going to a store is the best choice. Large sportswear stores often have football shirts. These are the best places to go if you do not live close to an official store. And these stores usually have lower prices than the official stores.29. According to the text, football T-shirts ________.A. are all made by boysB. are seldom loved by girlsC. are only designed for boysD. are difficult to find for girls30. According to the text, custom print stores ________.A. could use any colors and logos as they likeB. should be operated by the football teamsC. could print anything that official stores sellD. should legally use your favourite logos31. If you don’t need to try the T-shirts on, you can visit ________.A. official storesB. online storesC. large sportswear storesD. custom print stores32. What kind of readers is this passage for?A. Football players.B. Clothes store owners.C. Female football fans.D. Physical education teacherDWhat do you think of cats? Some people think very lovely. But not all people love cats. Compared with dogs, cats seem to be very lazy and unfriendly. Besides, cats are not known for acts of selflessness (无私). But maybe we’re wrong about them. Don’t believe it? Then meet Pippa, a very unusual cat.The black-and-white cat was left in a box outside a shop and taken by the British RSPCA to the Jansa family in Whitstable, Kent. They really loved her character (性格) and decided to adopt (收养) it,but they never guessed she’d become a lifesaver.Eight-year-old Mia Jansa had diabetes and had become good at testing her blood during the day, as well as having something to eat or drink to bring her blood sugar levels back. But the danger was at night. Mia could easily experience hypoglycemic (低血糖症的) situations when she was asleep, which could cause even death.Soon after she was adopted, Pippa went into Mia’s bedroom in the middle of the night and woke her up. When the child tested her blood sugar levels, she found they were dangerously low. Ever since, Pippa always visits Mia at night. If she can’t get her to wake up, she raises the alarm.“Pippa does this of her own accord,” says Mia’s mother Laura. “We don’t make a request for caring because we don’t want to encourage wrong alarms. She gets plenty of hugs. It gives me peace of mind and I know someone else is keeping an eye on Mia.”Now the family is so happy that they’ve chosen to adopt it in the first place.33. Why did the family decide to adopt the cat?A. Because they considered it as a lifesaver.B. Because her character interested them.C. Because they really loved her looks.D. Because Mia Jansa needed help.34. What problem did Mia Jansa face?A. She was bad at testing her blood.B. She might suffer death in the daytime.C. She might be in danger while asleep at night.D. She couldn’t let her blood sugar levels return to normal.35. For what does Pippa visit Mia at night?A. To see if her blood sugar levels are normal.B. To make her laugh when she’s lonely.C. To make sure that she is safe.D. To play with the alarm.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。

济源四中2018—2019学年上学期第一次考试质量检测高三英语试题第一节、阅读理解(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)A.When you walk into a room on the 17th floor of Copenhagen’s Bella Sky Hotel, you’ll be greeted by soft roses and other fresh flowers, fruits, fashion magazines, and a bathroom with beau ty products. This is Europe’s first hotel floor dedicated(专用的)entirely to women—and according to the hotel’s CEO Arne Bang Mikkelsen, it is designed by women, for women.“Women’s hotel preferences(偏爱)are very different from men’s with key priorities (优先考虑的事)being to feel safe and comfortable. When men come into a hotel room, the first thing they do is check the view, turn on the TV, plug in their computer, and check out the fridge. Women, on the other hand, go straight to the bathroom. Does it smell nice? Is it clean? Does it have a nice bathtub and shower?”Unlike other hotels, it seemed like someone actually thought about what women wanted. To get it right, the hotel asked a number of women what they wanted, and added to their list of things like cleanliness, a nice bathroom, high-powered hairdryers, steam irons, cosmetic mirrors, healthy choices on the room service menus, and full-body mirrors.It seems that they are helped by the boom(繁荣)in female business travelers. Global numbers are hard to get, but a research report shows women account for about half of all business travelers in the US in 2010, up from approximately 25% in 1991. Places like the Naumi Hotel in Singapore, the Premier Hotel in New York, the London Dukes Hotel and the Georgian Court Hotel in Vancouver seem to be realizing the possibility in catering(迎合)for women.At the London Dukes Hotel, the manager says bookings(预订)for their “Duchess Rooms”,which are standard rooms with fresh flowers, fruit, and styling things, have increased 25% over the past year.21.We can learn from the text that Bella Sky Hotel _______.A. is the first hotel designed for womenB. offers special service to women guestsC. has a big garden with all kinds of flowersD. can arrange rooms according to guests’ wishes22. Paragraph 2 mainly wants to tell us _______.A. men are wiser in choosing hotelsB. guests usually care about fort mostC. women differ from men in judging a hotelD. hotels have difficulty satisfying each guest23.What can we learn from the text?A. Men gue sts usually don’t care about hotels’ cleanliness.B. Living in a hotel, women guests may consider their safety.C. Women business travelers spend more than men in hotels.D. In the US the number of women travelers is higher than men.24.The example of the London Dukes Hotel is used to show ________.A. London is known for hotel managementB. guests like to experience different hotelsC. the new hotel service is very popularD. hotel industry is developing rapidlyBAs you research music, you will find music that is familiar to you. You will find music which tells of interesting places and exciting things to do. You will find music which expresses feelings that are often your own.Music is an expression of the people. As you research, you will find music of people at work and play. You will find music expressing love of the country, love of nature, and love of home.Music is also an expression of the composer(作曲家). The composer expresses his own musical ideas. He studies the materials of music and discovers ways of using them.。

济源四中2018—2019学年上学期期中考试质量检测高三英语试题第一节、阅读理解(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)AAs I was walking around Residential care this afternoon, I heard a lot of shouting and crying coming from one of the rooms. I had actually tried to connect with this little lady a few weeks ago but she can't speak English and has dementia (老年痴呆症). A caregiver was in with her and speaking but the lady wasn't responding.I took the lady into the bathroom and she was crying and looking in the mirror. To calm her down I started to brush her hair, it was all wet. The caregiver left and I grabbed a small towel(毛巾) and dried her hair as well as gently rubbing her head. She just kept crying and was terribly upset. So I wrapped my arms around her, rubbed her back and hugged her. At the same time, I was talking very quietly to her and rocking her.She sobbed(呜咽) in my arms. When she calmed down I sat with her and then, as she was Italian I kissed both cheeks and her hands. She then returned that gesture to me. I said goodbye in Italian and she was happy. Her pain had been heart-breaking. All she really needed was a big loving hug and comfort. It must be terrible to live in a world that is so strange to her. I left feeling her love and I know she felt my love. This has to be one the most beautiful connections I have ever known.21. Why didn't the old lady speak to the writer at first?A. Because she was afraid of the writer.B. Because she felt lonely all the time.C. Because she was in bad condition.D. Because she didn't like living here.22. What did the writer bring the old lady into the bathroom for?A. To get her to feel loved.B. To give her a warm bath.C. To stay with her alone.D. To make friends with her.23. What was the first response to the writer's kiss on her cheeks and hands?A. She did the same to the writer.B. She sobbed in the writer's arms.C. She began to talk with the writer.D. She calmed down little by little.24. What do you think makes the old lady calm down?A. Hard-working and honest.B. Brave and kind.C. Clever and nice.D. Patient and loving.BIt's cold and dark outside, and your bed is so warm and comfortable.Going for a run seems like such a bad idea.But before you hide your running shoes, it might be worth giving that crazy idea a go.According to The Huffington Post, an outdoor run in winter, as opposed to one on a treadmill (跑步机),burns more calories because the body is working hard to regulate (调节) its core temperature.Furthermore, research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures—and quicker runs burn more calories.Similarly, cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body, making that vital muscle even stronger.Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day.The heat and humidity in summer can drag you down and tire you faster, but cold weather is refreshing. It adjusts you to your surroundings, making you feel alive.Of course, the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise. Heart attacks, strokes, lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog. The combination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems.If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days, take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust (废气),and go early in the morning, before rush hour. But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.25. How does cold weather benefit runners, compared with warm weather?A. They can run more slowly.B. They can take in more calories.C. Their hearts can function harder.D. Their body temperature can get lower.26. How does summer affect runners?A. It builds up their energy quickly.B.

Follow the Tips to Reduce StressCA man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store with milk. That is all—milk. At the same time, a woman enters the same grocery store also to buy milk. She buys it. But, she also buys chicken and lemons to make dinner that night. She also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husband’s niece. And that is the difference between the female and ma le brains simply explained in a grocery store. Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time. Women do many. Doing many things at one time is often called “multi-tasking”, a very popular word these days.Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. A recent study has confirmed what we have known all along—men and women think differently.Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania studied brain images of 949 people aged from 8 to 22 years old. They found that male brains have more connections on one side of the brain, or hemisphere. In the female brain, they found more activity and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason”. The right hemisphere is k nown as the “creative” side.Regina Verma is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She co-wrote the report. She says when women are asked to do something complicated they might use different parts of the brain. But men generally use just one.As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. There is a strongconnection between the “understanding” and the “action” parts of their brains. Women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with “reason” and the pa rt connected with sensitivity when solving a problem. Women take a less direct path to find a solution.Thanks for your listening. I’m your announcer Anna Matteo.29. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that women______.A. are more hard-working than menB. are more multi-tasking than menC. are more careful than menD. go shopping more than men30. When asked to do something complicated, men______.A. only use the “reason” side of the brainB. only use the “creative” side of the brainC. use different parts of the brainD. use one part of the brain31. The main purpose of the passage is to tell us______.A. that men and women really think differentlyB. who want to go shopping more, men or womenC. why women want to do many things at one timeD. that men and women all like to drink milkDIt's well known to car drivers that red means “stop”, green means “go”, and yellow means “hurry up and make that damn light”. Why those colors, though? The answer lies in the fact that the earliest traffic signals were designed for trains, not cars. They were red and green, gas-powered, and more than a little dangerous in the event of a leak.Red is an inherited(继承的) symbol from railroads, which symbolizes danger in many cultures. As red has a longer wavelength than any other color on the visible spectrum (光谱),it can be seen from a greater distance than other colors. Red has meant “stop” since long before cars existed, with train signals' use of red dating back to the days when mechanical(机械的) arms lifted and lowered to indicate whether the rail ahead was clear.Green's wavelength is next to (and shorter than) yellow's on the visible spectrum,meaning it's still easier to see than any color other than red and yellow. Back in the early days of railway lights, green meant “caution”, while the “all-clear” light was, well, clear or white. It is said that several disastrous collisions(碰撞) happened after an engineer mistook stars in the night for an all-clear. Thus, green became “go”, and for a long time, railways used only green and red to signal trains.From the earliest days of motoring up until the mid1900s,not all stop signs were red—many were yellow, because at night it was all but impossible to see a red stop sign in a poorly lit area. In 1915 the yellow stop-sign craze began in Detroit, a city that five years later installed its first electric traffic signal, which happened to include the very first yellow traffic light.But what of those mysterious yellow stop signs? As materials and technologies evolved, the ability to produce highly reflective signs meant that red could resume its natural spot in the sign hierarchy, leaving the still-highly-visible yellow to the domain (领域) of “caution”. That's why school zones and buses, crosswalks, and other important warnings are yellow today.32.What were traffic lights originally intended for?A. Trains.B. Cars.C. Planes.D. Ships.33.What's the main reason for red's long being used to mean “stop”?A. It can be seen even in dark areas.B. It represents danger in many cultures.C. It has the longest wavelength.D. People prefer red to other colors.34.Which of the following may the author agree with?A. The meaning of red is culture-specific.B. Yellow functioned as stop signs in the 1900s.C. Green's wavelength is just second to that of red.D. Green's role in lights has changed over time.35.What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The significance of road traffic signs.B. The history of railroad transportation.C. The symbolic meaning of different colors.D. The origin and development of traffic lights.第二节七选五(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)Building Trust in a Relationship AgainTrust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences, ___36__.Trust is a risk.
