广州市第一学期期中考试高一年级英语科（本试卷分第I卷和第II卷两部分，共150分。
考试时间120分钟）I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，从每题所给的选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并涂在题卡上（靠左涂：1+班+学号）AWhat is language for?Some people seem to think it’s for practicing grammar rules and learning list s of words—the longer the lists,the better.That’s nguage is for the exchange（交流）of ideas and meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely. Many students I have met information.It’sknow hundreds of grammar rules, but th ey can’t speak correctly or fluently （流利地）. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard Shaw once wrote. “Foreigners often speak English too correctly. mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They’re in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrongbecomes right. People not only make history, they make language. But a people can only make its own language. Itcan’t make another people’s language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar, but they （做过头）it. They should put communication （交际）first.shouldn’t overdo1. Language is used to ______.A. communicate with othersB. practice grammar rulesC. talk with foreigners onlyD. learn lists of words2. Generally, when an American or an Englishman speaks English, he ______.A. never makes mistakesB. often makes mistakesC. can’t avoid making mistakesD. always makes mistakes3.“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” This sentence means that ______.A. foreigners speak correct EnglishB. foreigners speak incorrect EnglishC. foreigners don’t speak English naturally enoughD. foreigners seldom make mistakes when speaking English4. When we speak a foreign language, we should ______.A. speak in Chinese wayB. speak by the rulesC. speak to native speakersD. not be afraid of making mistakesBIf we want to deal with the association （交往）between boys and girl properly, here are some “dos anddon’ts” for you to follow.Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is verynatural for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. Weshould keep in touch with the other sex （性别）in public instead of in secret.Don’t be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy pers on, you can also find a way out. First of all, you canmake friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common,you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also asfree to express yourself as others.Don’t fall into the ditch of early love. The boys and girls at adolescence （青春期）are rich in feeling. Theyare easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion,early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is fully ripe. Boys and g middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.5. The main idea of the passage is to ______.A. tell students to keep away from early loveB. give some advice on how to associate between boys and girlsC. tell students how to make friendsD. teach boys how to talk with girls6. We should keep in touch with the other sex in the following EXCEPT ______.A. with a good state of mindB. in real friendshipC. in publicD. in secret7. If you are a shy person, you can ______.A. find friends with the same interest and hobby firstB. only have a few friends of the same sexC. not make friends with the other sexD. not fail in love with other students easilyCWhat would you do if you saw a mountain gorilla （黑猩猩）? Most people would probably be very afraid andarance. Firstly, gorillas are very big. They can growrun away. That’s because gorillas have a very frightening appeup to 2 metres tall and can weigh more than 200 kilograms (male gorillas weigh twice as much as female gorillas).Secondly, gorillas can make a lot of noise. They can roar, beat their chests and show their teeth. In fact, these angryactions are very rare and male gorillas only do it when their families are under attack.The truth is,gorillas are incredibly intelligent,gentle and social animals that stay together in small familygroups. The leader is t he largest male, and is called the silverback. That’s because of the beautiful silver fur back.Gorillas spend almost all their time on the forest floor,eating and sleeping.They are mainly vegetarian,although they eat some insects. Young gorillas often play together. They run around and climb trees. At night, theanimals make a nest to sleep in. the lighter gorillas nest in trees. The heavier gorillas make nests on the ground andbabies sleep with their mothers. Gorillas rarely attack humans. They only fight when something or someone attacksthem or their young. In that situation, they will fight to the death. Hunters looking for baby gorillas may have to killthe whole family to get what they want.Sadly, there are fewer than 650 mountain gorillas left in the wild, which means they are an endangered animal.These gorillas only live in the mountain jungles of central Africa. They are endangered because people hunt themfor food and for sport. They are also threatened by war, and humans cutting down their forests for farmland, fueland housing. Life for these gentle giants isn’t peaceful.8. What is a silverback according to the passage?A. Any gorillas with silver fur.B. Any male gorillas in the group.C. The leader in the gorillas family.D. The oldest gorillas in the group.9. Where would you expect to find a silverback gorillas sleeping at night?A. In the trees.B. On the ground.C. With the baby gorillas.D. Away from others._.10. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refers to _____A. fightersB. huntersC. baby gorillasD. gorilla families11. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?A. To describe the lifestyle of mountain gorillas.B. To summarize （概括）the details of the passage.C. To explain why mountain gorillas are endangered.D. To examine the behavior （行为）of mountain gorillas.D“Have a nice day” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie saysa nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure （安全）since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a nice day. Next!” The version of the expression is spoken by a salegirl at supermarket who is rushingme and my groceries out the door. The words came out in the same tone （强调）with a fixed procedure. They arespoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates theend of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves uswhen we don’t know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day-warming The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrongwith the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and the countlessothers who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, itnice to know t hey care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expre may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.12. How does the author understand Maxie’s words?A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.B. Maxie really wishes the author a good day.C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.D. Maxie really worries about the author’s security.13. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The salesgirl is rude.B. The salesgirl is bored.C. The salesgirl cares about me.D. The salesgirl says the words as a routine （例行公事）.14. By saying “Have a nice day”, a stranger may ______.A. try to be polite to youB. express respect to youC. give his blessing to youD. share his pleasure with you15. What is the best title of the passage?A. Have a Nice Day—a Social CustomB. Have a Nice Day—a Pleasant GestureC. Have a Nice Day—a Heart-warming GreetingD. Have a Nice Day—a Polite Ending of a Conversation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。

One evening, after a long day of hard work, the farmer returned home with the donkeys and began to tie them to the stakes(桩). When he finished nine donkeys, he found that the tenth rope was gone.What now? He could not let the last donkey run around all night. It would surely run away. Suddenly, he saw that, under a tree, there was a monk(和尚). The farmer ran to the monk and asked for voice. The monk said, “The only thing you have to do to the tenth donkey is make the movements(动作) you would have made with a rope in your hands. Pretend (假装) to tie the donkey. That’s all.”The farmer returned to the tenth donkey, pretended to fasten(拴紧) a rope around its neck and then to tie the rope to a stake. He then entered his little house, half trusting the monk’s advice, half worried that his donk ey would run away in the middle of the night.When he went outside very early the next morning, all the donkeys were still standing nicely next to their stakes, even the tenth one. The farmer untied the donkeys and wanted to take them to the field. But to his surprise, donkey number ten refused to move an inch. The farmer pulled and shouted but the animal just didn’t move.Suddenly, the farmer thought of what he had done to the donkey the night before. With a great “ah ha”, he returned to donkey number ten,and just after a simple movement the donkey happily walked with him to the field.24. What was the farmer’s problem when he tied the donkey?A.

Mrs. Obama says volunteering is very important. “It should be part of everyone’s life, ” she says.Many teens agree. They say that helping others feels great and makes a difference. These days, more teens volunteer than work for pay. Teens clean up parks, walk dogs at animal shelters , visit the elderly and more.Some cities ---- including Seatle, Chicago, and Washingtong,D.C. ----require high school students to volunteer. Students must volunteer in order to graduate. Thestudent volunteers learn new skills and help their communities .Many parents are in favor of the idea ---- they say volunteering helps teens build job skills. But most teens don’t want to be forced to volunteer. They say they are busy. And they say voluntee ring is only fun if it’s a choice.Read both sides of the debate and decide.YESV olunteering can help teens get into college or get a job.Many cities and towns need help. V olunteers can help keep important programs going.Not all teens will volunteer if it isn’t required.

In Italy, when you order a coffee in a cafe or bar(酒吧), you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is “normal (正常的) coffee” for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. If you want more than one sip(小口) of coffee in Italy, lungo is a good choice. In addition, while takeaway coffee is quite popular among Brits, it is not very common at all in Italy. Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day.Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy -includes a coffee and a pastry (酥皮糕点). Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to start the day.Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy, such as espresso or macchiato (an espresso with a drop of milk), is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK. They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee every day without breaking the bank.32.How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A.By time.B. By space.C. By comparisonD.By example.33.Which coffee will you get in Italy if you order one without special instructions?A. Espresso.B. Lungo.C. Cappuccino.D. Macchiato.34.What can we learn about the coffee culture in Italy?A.Takeaway coffee is very popular among Italians.B.Italians are very often seen drinking huge coffees.C.Few Italians take short breaks from work for coffee.D.Coffees are often served along with pastries during breakfasts.35.What does the author think of Italian coffee?A.She loves its bitter taste.B.It is too expensive for her.C.The cup it is served in is too small.D.It is a good choice for breakfast.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。

AMore than 30,000 people went to the White House on Monday for the 136th Easter Egg Roll (复活节滚彩蛋). President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama held the event by inviting thousands of kids to color and look for eggs. The theme(主题) of the day was “Hop Into Healthy, Swing Into Shape.” It was part of the First Lady’s “Let’s Move!” program to reduce obesity rates (肥胖率) among American kids. Mrs. Obama spoke to young reporters about her goal(目标) to get children to eat right and keep moving.“We are working to make sure that kids born today grow up healthy, learn how to have balanced meals, and get more physical activity into their lives,” she said.Mrs. Obama said she wants children across the nation to understand that "exercise isn't just hard work, it's play. If you’re running around with your dog, you're getting exercise. If you walk up the stairs, that's exercise, But if you’re sitting in front of the TV or on a computer game, you're not exercising.”The First Lady said that for kids who have balanced meals most of the time, having a special snack, like chocolate, will not hurt." And if you are active, you can splurge (挥霍) a little more," she said. Mrs. Obama’s favorite "splurge food" is French fries. But she balances her splurging by exercising almost every day. She loves to play tennis and she practices yoga.“A lot of kids look up to(敬仰) athletes, and I think it's important for athletes to share their good habits,” Mrs. Obama said. "Kids aren’t just going to wake up and be LeBron James. He's practicing and eating right and working out and training. Our athletes can be really good messengers to kids who look up to them--they can say to kids, 'If you really want to be like me, then you really do need to eat your vegetables.’”1.The purpose of the “Let’s Move!” program is to_______ .A. help kids keep healthyB. train more young reportersC. encourage kids to eat more eggsD. invite kids to visit the White House2.“Splurge food” is allowed to be eaten when__________ .A. you don' t hurt yourselfB. you have a special snackC. you never eat French friesD. you eat right and stay active3.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.

Kids like the messages the athletes give them.BMark Twain left school when he was twelve. He had little school education. In spite of (尽管) this, he became the most famous writer of his time.

Before coming here, China seemed alien to me ----a place that expected to be hugely dissimilar from my own British culture.After travelling from Beijing up to Xi'an, I wanted to challenge myself by choosing a smaller town----Xiahe in Gansu Province. I arrived in Lanzhou at around 5 am, but there were no buses to Xiahe.I managed to spot a policeman and attempted to explain my destination to him in simple English, praying that he would understand. I wasn't sure that he did but I just followed him anyway as I had no choice. He took me on a bus and I didn't know where I was going. Luckily, I met a student who explained to me in English that the policeman was taking me to another bus station where I could take a bus to Xiahe. During this conversation a third man said he was also a policeman and would help me buy tickets. But as he was not in uniform, I was a little doubtful. The uniformed policeman told me it was OK to go with the third man, so I got off the bus with the so-called policeman who at this point, disappeared and I was left in the middle of nowhere. I stood panicking. Around one minute later a police car came and stopped right by me. It was the un-uniformed policeman. I got into the car and he dropped me directly at the bus station, and helped me buy the ticket.This is one of many experiences that I have had in China. I realized that however different this culture was, there was one thing that would always stand out—kindness.

You’ve located the country’s capital and one of Europe’s most beautiful cities: Madrid. This popular destination is considered a city of contrasts with its abundant historic sites, resting in the shadows of modern skyscrapers,HistoryThis city of over 3 million people is proud of Western Europe’s largest royal palace, and some consider it to be Madrid’s most beautiful building.Inside the Royal Palace 2,800 rooms are decorated in glory with museum-quality furniture and artworks. Tourists can tour 50 of these large and splendid rooms.ArtThe Internationally respected Prado Museum is the largest and most impressive art gallery in Spain. Opened in 1819, it is filled with works of art that feature the world’s most comprehensive collection of Spanish paintings.ShoppingMadrid has some of Europe’s best shopping, and potential buyers love to look through the stores looking for bargains. But for 500 years, shoppers have gathered to an extremely large outdoor flea market known as the Rastro where they find nearly everything from antiques to CDs.EntertainmentNo trip to Madrid is complete without seeing a performance of Spain’s famous art form, flamenco. Every day, flamenco performers sing, dance or play the guitar in small cafes and grand theaters alike.FoodMadrid has a wide variety of restaurants, but because the Spanish typically eat late at about 9 or 10 p.m., it’s difficult to find good dinner food earlier. If you get hungry before then, the best solution is to try a tapas bar where light snacks are served. Be sure to try the jamon, a kind of dry-cured ham. Spain is famous for it.11．What do we know about the Royal Palace in Madrid?A．It has 50 rooms for visit.B．It can hold 2,800 people.C．It’s been visited by 3 million people.D．It is thought to be the largest in Europe.12．What kind of market is “the Rastro”?A．It’s an outdoor flea market.B．It has almost all sorts of goods in it.C．It has existed for 500 years.D．All of the above.13．What is a must when travelling in Madrid?A．Having dinner earlier.B．Enjoying flamenco.C．Visiting Prado Museum.D．Drinking in a bar.14．Which of the following is NOT true?A．Madrid is at the center of Spain.B．The tourists have access to all the rooms in the Royal Palace.C．You can see various Spanish paintings in the Prado Museum.D．Local Spanish people tend to eat late in the evening.15．What does the underlined word “tapas” in the last paragraph probably mean?A．It means something that people eat after dinner.B．It means some small plates of food before a main meal.C．It is a traditional food in Spain.D．It is food that helps people digest better.There’s nothing like a good night’s sleep — but what does that really mean? It turns out that the answer depends not only on your age, but also on your lifestyle. Some people are productive and happy with fewer hours of sleep, while others need more. Still, experts can determine guidelines that work for most people. The National Sleep Foundation researched the topic and gave new recommendations this week. The foundation acknowledge s that sleep needs will vary lifestyle and stress should be taken into consideration but their recommendations offer a general guideline. For example, teenagers (14-17 years old) need 8 —10 hours’ sleep every day.To create the recommendations, some sleep and medical experts reviewed 312 articles from journals published during the last decade. This is the first time that any professional organization has developed age-specific recommended sleep durations (时长) based on a systematic review of the world scientific literature.A lack of sleep can be linked to weight gain, because that causes an increase in appetite, according to the foundation. It can also have serious consequences (结果) on the brain.People who do not get enough sleep are at increased risk for depression (抑郁症), and can endanger others. Those that become sleepy while driving, for example, risk both their lives and the lives of those around them.Researchers also have found in the past that too much sleep can have negative effects. Low socioeconomic status and depression reportedly are significantly associated with longer sleep. However, experts nowadays find that research on oversleeping is still doubtful and needs more attention. Currently, there is no strong evidence that sleeping too much has health consequences. There is, however, laboratory evidence that short sleep durations of four to five hours have negative consequences. We need similar laboratory studies to determine whether long sleep durations result in physiological (生理的) changes that could lead to disease before we make any recommendations against sleep extension.16．Which is TRUE about sleeping time?A．The time you need for sleep is related to your personal situation.B．Experts’ guideline for sleeping time applies to all the people.C．The less you sleep, the more productive you are.D．The more you sleep, the more energetic you are.17．How did the National Sleeping Foundation do the research?A．By interviewing different people.B．By reading lots of articles.C．By consulting (咨询) other experts.D．By doing systematic experiments. 18．The research shows that people without enough sleep will _________.A．lose some weight B．eat more foodC．dream during their sleep D．drive faster than usual19．From Paragraph 4, we can learn that _________.A．too much sleep may result in social changesB．researchers now agree with those in the pastC．more research on oversleeping is neededD．research on oversleeping is quite persuasive (有说服力的)20．From which section of a newspaper is the passage most probably taken?A．Health.B．Psychology C．Sport.D．Education.It’s no secret now that the more time we spend on social media, the more we feel dissatisfied with ourselves. We tend to compare ourselves to influences and celebrities- so it’seasy to understand how that can affect our confidence.But, how often have you found yourself comparing your life to your friends? Engaging with social media shared by our friends can be more damaging than looking at content shared by celebrities, new research has found.The study looking at how social media affects body image found that any social media engagement was significantly associated with lower “appearance satisfaction”. Additionally, it found that engaging with content posted by people the participants knew was more than twice as damaging as looking at content posted by strangers, including celebrities.Viren Swami, Professor of Social Psychology at Anglia Ruskin University, believes this is partly because we know it’s hard to attain the lives of celebrities or influences, but when we’re comparing ourselves to our friends, it feels like we should- or could-live the way they do.“One possible explanation is that people may perceive a post showing appearance as being much more attainable if it comes from someone they know, adding expectation or pressure on the person engaging in the post, ” he said. “At the same time, people may be more critically engaged with posts by the likes of models and celebrities, and therefore perceive the images they share to be more unrealistic."This is not just confined to body image though. We all have one area in our lives that triggers(触发)us. Maybe you’ve been searching for a new job for months and you find yourself on social media, envying your school friend who just landed their dream role. Maybe. . .All this is to say the obvious: we only see part of people’s lives -and if it’s getting you down, you’re probably comparing your insides to other people’s outsides. Everyone has their struggles and life is indeed not perfect for anyone. So, put down your phone, get offline, be thankful and try to live your own life.21．What did the new study find?A．Social media invites unfavorable comments.B．Friends’ posts affect us more than celebrities’.C．Celebrities have a negative influence on our life.D．Body image causes more concern than social life.22．Why are we more likely to compare with our friends according to Swami?A．They serve as role models.B．We know the way they live. ,C．Their lifestyles are accessible.D．We are curious about their life.23．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A．Restricted.B．Related.C．Devoted.D．Exposed.24．What does the author suggest people do?A．Find your dream and fight for it.B．Stop comparing and be yourself.C．Be grateful and lead a perfect life.D．Stop complaining and get down to work.三、七选五Camping Tips &Tricks for a Fun TripMany people idealize camping trips as being this easy, effortless encounter with destinations rich with natural landscapes and nights under the stars twinkling in the sky above.25 That’s why we’ve prepared the best camping tips for you!Plan accordingly, and then plan again. When you’re out in the middle of nowhere, you have to be equipped to nature’s challenges. 26 Therefore, a plan for unexpected weather changes is essential to a successful camping trip. For example, consider packing extra suppliers like blankets. While that might seem like a huge inconvenience, the biggest and real issue occurs when you need something you don’t have.Know what you need.27 Not all beginner campers will need the top-of-the-line, latest supplies. But you should have at least the basics! That includes a decent tent with enough room for people camping with you, a good sleeping bag appropriate for the season, and other supplies like food and water. You’d better create a convenient checklist that lays out everything that you should consider.28 When you’re far away from the major conveniences we rely upon like an urgent care center, police stations, and emergency rooms, you should always remember thatsafety is your first priority! 29 A first aid kit is a great starting point, but it’s certainly not the end of maximizing your safety efforts. Depending on where you plan to camp, you’ll want to grab these items that cover you in most emergency situations: a pocket knife, a fire starter, and a safety whistle.Ready to go camping? Now you know what to expect and how to prepare for your next camping trip, so you actually have fun—rain or shine!A．Always choose a safe campsite.B．Never leave home without safety in mind.C．We encourage you to create a safety supply kit.D．Camping doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive.E．A clear 3-day forecast can easily shift into a sudden heavy rain.F．To maximize your comfort, always bring appropriate clothes for cold and rain.G．But for beginner campers, those expectations can rapidly turn into a mess of reality.四、完形填空In August last year, my parents and I visited our relatives in Princeton Junction, New Jersey. Every day I enjoyed walking a circular way starting from their house. One evening Iand daughter were willing to help. I told them I was lost and gave them my address. The mother pointed to a turning a little further down the road and 41 me I was pretty close to home. Expressing my thanks, I started off at a fast 42 .I had been walking for about five minutes when I heard a car drive up behind me and stop. It was the mother and daughter again. They realized that they had not given me the correct direction.They offered to give me a(n) 43 home, and I was so grateful for their help. During our brief conversation I sensed that the teenage daughter was going to a school party and would now arrive late. We didn’t 44 names but I will never forget their act of kindness.30．A．confident B．independent C．adventurous D．tough 31．A．similar B．potential C．general D．regular 32．A．within B．round C．toward D．beyond 33．A．shine B．rise C．set D．fade 34．A．heading B．keeping C．taking D．looking 35．A．silent B．crazy C．quiet D．calm 36．A．delay B．control C．traffic D．service 37．A．cheered B．waved C．sighed D．nodded 38．A．passive B．ridiculous C．fortunate D．desperate 39．A．in place B．in turn C．in sight D．in person 40．A．surrounded B．approached C．reflected D．accompanied 41．A．supported B．responded C．corrected D．promised 42．A．stage B．track C．level D．pace 43．A．tip B．ride C．desire D．option 44．A．seek B．gather C．acquire D．exchange五、用单词的适当形式完成短文eggplant either. Neither is there pine nor apple in pineapple. This got me thinking how English can be 48 crazy language to learn.49 example, when we are traveling we say that we are in the car or the taxi, but on the train or bus! While we are doing all this traveling, we can get seasick at sea, but we don’t get homesick when we get back home.Even the 50 (small) words in the world can be 51 (puzzle). When you see the capitalized “WHO” in a medical report, do you read it as the “who” in “Who’s that”? You also have to wonder at the unique madness of a language in 52 a house can burn up as it burns down.English 53 (invent) by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race. That is why when I wind up my watch, it starts, 54 when I wind up this passage, it ends.六、根据中英文提示填写单词people.(住所)(根据中英文提示单词拼写)56．All the students are impressed by his amazing learning s .

No matter what event she attended, a list squad (小队)--which included famous people like Selena Gomez, Zen d and God Ha did -- would be right by her side.But now Swift wants fans to know that her friendships weren't as perfect as she tried to make people believe. In fact, she says she was using her friend group to hide her insecurity(不实全) of feeling “'uncool" and “unpopular". Swift says she went out of her way to show off her squad because she didn't have many friends when she was younger --a memory that still bothered her years later. “Never being popular as a kid was always an insecurity for me,” she says.When she became famous, Swift became obsessed (沉迷) with showing off her popularity. “In my twenties, l found myself surrounded by girls who wanted to be my friends." Swift explains. “So I celebrated my newfound acceptance into a sisterhood." But by constantly putting her friends on display, Swift failed to consider how bad her fans might feel about themselves because they didn’t have a squad like hers. “'I didn't realize that other people might still feel the way I did when I felt so alone," she says.As she became older and more confident in herself, Swift started focusing on the quality of her friends, not the quantity (数量). She says she finally understands that the size of her group doesn‘t mean how “cool" she is. To her, it's much more important to have a few friends who can be trusted rather than a large group of “fair-weather“ friends.While Swift still values her friends she has in her life, she no longer feels the pressure to show off them for the sake of impressing others. “For too long, the opinions of strangers affected how l viewed things, But now I learn not to let outside opinions affect my own life choices.”4. What made Swift show off her list squad?A. The popularity of her friends.B. Her childhood experience.C. The support of her fans.D. Her strong social influence.5. What does paragraph 4 intend to tell us?A. We should make real friends.B. It is important to trust our friendsC, Our friends can affect our behavior.D. There are many ways of making friends.6. What does the underlined word “sake” probably mean in the last paragraph?A. Request.B. Advice.C. Method.D. Purpose.7. From which is the text probably taken?A. A scientific report.C. A travel magazine.B. A social newspaper.D. A movie poster.CWe can learn to be happy but only get lasting benefits if we keep practicing, a new study has revealed.The team behind the University of Bristol's Science of Happiness course had already discovered that teaching students the latest scientific studies on happiness markedly improved their well-being. However, their latest study found that these well-being boosts are short-lived unless the evidence-informed habits learned in the course -- such as gratitude, exercise, or run -- are kept up over the long term.Senior author Professor Bruce Hood said, “It's like going to the gym - we can't expect to do one class and be fit forever, Just as with physical health, we have to continuously work on our mental health；otherwise, the improvements will be temporary.Launched in 2018, the University of Bristol's Science of Happiness course was the first of its kind in the Uk. It involves no exams or coursework and teaches students what the latest peer-reviewed studies in psychology and neuroscience say really makes us happy. Students who took the course reported a 10% to 15% improvement in well-being. However, only those who continued implementing the course learning maintained that improved well-being when they were surveyed again two years later.Professor Hood said, “This study shows that just doing a course is just the start, You must commit to using what you learn on a regular basis. Much of what we teach revolves around positive psychological interventions that take your attention from yourself by helping others being withfriends, or being grateful. This is the opposite of the current 'self-care’ doctrine (学说), but countless studies have shown that getting out of our own heads helps get us away from negative thoughts, which can be the basis of so many mental health problems.8.What does the study find about happiness?A.

While scientists are already building rockets for the journey, for long-term human settlements on them, astronauts will need fuel to carry out daily tasks. Many have suggested hydrogen (氢). But a group of scientists is working on turning CO2 in the atmosphere into jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface has a high concentration of CO2, it may be a feasible solution.For now the team of' scientists at the University of Oxford is focusing on making jet fuel for the aviation (航空) industry, As the aviation industry releases over 900 million tons of CO2 every year to battle climate change, it is necessary to tun the tide, So far aviation scientists have tried to use other energy resources like electricity to fly, But such flights are limited to short distances. For long-distance fights, there is no alternative yet,The concept of turning CO2 into jet fuel is not new, Previously, other similar methods had to rely on expensive catalysts (催化剂) like cobalt to speed up the chemical reaction. But what Oxfordscientists suggest is adding a cheap iron-based catalyst and hydrogen to turn CO2 into liquid fuel. As the process would not require using fossil fuel, it will make the industry carbon neutral (碳中和的)The scientists tested the new catalyst in a lab at 300'C and at 10 times the air pressure at sea level. The entire process took 20 hours and turned 38 percent of CO2 into new chemicals. About 48percent of the chemicals were jet fuel hydrocarbon and the rest were other by-products that are used in the production of plastic.Professor Peter Edwards, a lead scientist in the project, said the new method could be improved in two to three years to produce jet fuel in large quantities. “This is a really exciting, potentially revolutionary advance. Our vision is that the world can see that CO2 collected can be used as an energy carrier to enable sustainable aviation ”12. Which word can best explain “feasible” underlined in paragraph 1?A. Unique.B. Practical.C. Time-tested.D. Quick13. What problem does the aviation industry face?A. It is suffering from a serious fuel shortage.B. The traditional jet fuel is much too expensive,C. Climate change partly disturbs long-distance flights.D. Its alternative energy resources are not powerful enough.14. What do we know about the Oxford scientists’ method of fuel-making?A. It is green and cost-saving.B. It is complex and time-consumingC. It runs tests in natural environment.D. It starts with immediate chemical reaction.15. What's the purpose of the author?A. To attract people to explore the space.B. To inform us of a breakthrough in fuel research.C. To warn us the dangers of climate change.D. To encourage us to work in the aviation industry第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5 分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AExplore Central Park, one of the largest city parks in the world and one of the most famous symbols of New York. Let’s have a look at its main sights.Central Park is New York’s largest city park and one of the big gest in the world, with an area of 843 acres (about 3.4km 2). This park is home to man-made lakes, waterfalls, grass and wooded areas. You will also find the Central Park Zoo, among other attractions in this greenspace of New York.Besides being the city’s primary green lungs, Central Park is also a favorite spot for many New Yorkers. It is perfect for sunbathing, going for walks, or doing any outdoor sports. Something that we found curious is seeing so many people running with their babies in prams (婴儿车).On Foot or by BicycleTo get to know some of the wildest parts of Central Park we suggest walking. However, to get a general feel for the whole park, the best thing to do is hire a bicycle and enjoy the scenery.If you decide to hire a bike, you will find lots of bike rental stores around Central Park that are not very expensive.Open TimeFrom 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends.

Not one of us knew what to do.”“I rang an ambulance while my grandma and granddad tried to get the sweet to come up.”此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号“Tallulah was panicking at first but then she started to go purple—she almost had no oxygen left in her.”With her daughter limp (无力的) and time running out, Leigh—Anne knew she couldn’t afford to wait for the ambulance to arrive.“The only thing I could think was to go out into the street.” She said.“I rushed out and screamed for someone to help while my grandma rushed out crying with Tallulah.”At exactly the moment, Caitlin, who is studying public services at Redcar College, was passing by Queen Street. She said, “I w as waiting to go to work when I heard someone screaming for help, so I ran straight over.”The 17-year-old girl added, “Something just clicked and I went into auto mode. The little girl was completely limp, so I checked her airways and tilted (使倾斜) her over and started hitting her back. I turned her round and tapped on her chest, then after what felt like forever she coughed up the sweet and spat it out.As soon as she started crying I felt a huge relief.

The program, called Turnaround Arts, aims to help improve low performing schools by adding music and the arts to the usual study program.Turnaround Arts was launched by Michelle Obama, the wife of former U.S President Barack Obama. Some money for the program comes from the federal government. For the students at participating schools, the program offers a kind of safe place from city neighborhoods. Many of the children come from areas with high crime rates.Turnaround Arts is a partnership between the federal government and private businesses. Florence Griffith Joyner Elementary is one of the 68 schools in the U.S. participating in the program. Teachers receive special training and look for ways to add music and the arts into all the classes. Turnaround Arts schools partner with musicians and actors who work with the students. Performers have included Yo-Yo Ma, Sarah Jessica Parker, Elton John and Cameron Diaz.School headmaster Long noted “The children were so excited and have been so excited because it’s not just about —‘Go to the board. Do the problem. Turn the page. Read the book’; it’s about acting and imitating artists and historic figures.” She noted how some students got the chance to act out the process of a caterpillar (毛虫) becoming a butterfly. “I like to act and I like to sing and I like to dance,” said 10-year-old Kayla Driakare.Long said that Turnaround Arts was only in its first year at the school, and teachers were already seeing results. “We’ve probably suspended(暂时停学) one kid this year. That’s amazing,” she said. “Parents are getting phone calls to come to family arts night, and it’s not just the naughty calls home. It’s for them to come and learn more about what their childr en are learning. So our parents’ engagement goes up.”8．Turnaround Arts launched by Michelle Obama ______.A．helps students who behave badly get high gradesB．aims to improve teachers’ and students’ performanceC．gets financial support only from the federal governmentD．provides students with a chance of having access to musicians and actors9．What can be inferred from what Principal Long said?A．Students love this program very much.B．Students can learn how to act from this program.C．This program makes students know science well.D．Students can perform themselves well during the program.10．Which word can replace the underlined word in the last paragraph?A．attitude B．proposalC．involvement D．opportunity11．What’s the author’s purpose in writing th e passage?A．To advertise for an institute.B．To introduce an arts program of the USA．C．To call on people to support some lowest performing schools.D．To encourage more American schools to participate in Turnaround Arts.DBy now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat? A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it's not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body.Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer. But raw vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopen e, the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. “There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better,” says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohio State University. “For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be he lpful.”A number of factors decide how the vegetables do good to people's health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways.Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots than frying or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook.What cooked with the vegetables can also be important? When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them. Putting on some other things that make it taste better—a little salt—can make the food taste better.12．The writer mainly wants to tell us that ________.A．people should eat more vegetables B．the way people eat vegetables is importantC．eating vegetables is good for us D．how much vegetables one should eat13．The people who eat the raw vegetables for a long time will ________.A．have the eyes problems B．have heart diseaseC．be in need of lycopene D．hate eating tomatoes14．The following decide how the vegetables do good to people EXCEPT ________.A．the place where the vegetables are grown B．the way how the vegetables are storedC．the way how the vegetables are prepared D．the price at which the vegetable are sold15．From the last paragraph, we can know ________.A．it's better to cook vegetables with the fatB．the more fat in the cooking, the fewer vegetables people will eatC．it's better to cook the vegetables without saltD．the fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetables第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
广州市高一上学期期中考试英语试题
广州市第一学期期中考试高一年级英语科（本试卷分第I卷和第II卷两部分，共150分。
考试时间120分钟）I 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，从每题所给的选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并涂在题卡上（靠左涂：1+班+学号）AWhat is language for? Some people seem to think it’s for practicing grammar rules and learning list s of words—the longer the lists, the better. That’s wrong. Language is for the exchange （交流）of ideas and information. It’s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but th ey can’t speak correctly or fluently （流利地）. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard Shaw once wrote. “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They’re English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history, they make language. But a people can only make its own language. It can’t make another people’s language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldn’t overdo （做过头）it. They should put communication （交际）first.1. Language is used to ______.A. communicate with othersB. practice grammar rulesC. talk with foreigners onlyD. learn lists of words2. Generally, when an American or an Englishman speaks English, he ______.A. never makes mistakesB. often makes mistakesC. can’t avoid making mistakesD. always makes mistakes3. “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” This sentence means that ______.A. foreigners speak correct EnglishB. foreigners speak incorrect EnglishC. foreigners don’t speak English naturally enoughD. foreigners seldom make mistakes when speaking English4. When we speak a foreign language, we should ______.A. speak in Chinese wayB. speak by the rulesC. speak to native speakersD. not be afraid of making mistakesBIf we want to deal with the association （交往）between boys and girl properly, here are some “dos and don’ts” for you to follow.Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very natural for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep in touch with the other sex （性别）in public instead of in secret.Don’t be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy pers on, you can also find a way out. First of all, you can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.Don’t fall into the ditch of early love. The boys and girls at adolescence （青春期）are rich in feeling. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is fully ripe. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.5. The main idea of the passage is to ______.A. tell students to keep away from early loveB. give some advice on how to associate between boys and girlsC. tell students how to make friendsD. teach boys how to talk with girls6. We should keep in touch with the other sex in the following EXCEPT ______.A. with a good state of mindB. in real friendshipC. in publicD. in secret7. If you are a shy person, you can ______.A. find friends with the same interest and hobby firstB. only have a few friends of the same sexC. not make friends with the other sexD. not fail in love with other students easilyCWhat would you do if you saw a mountain gorilla （黑猩猩）? Most people would probably be very afraid and run away. That’s because gorillas have a very frightening appe arance. Firstly, gorillas are very big. They can grow up to 2 metres tall and can weigh more than 200 kilograms (male gorillas weigh twice as much as female gorillas). Secondly, gorillas can make a lot of noise. They can roar, beat their chests and show their teeth. In fact, these angry actions are very rare and male gorillas only do it when their families are under attack.The truth is, gorillas are incredibly intelligent, gentle and social animals that stay together in small family groups. The leader is t he largest male, and is called the silverback. That’s because of the beautiful silver fur on its back. Gorillas spend almost all their time on the forest floor, eating and sleeping. They are mainly vegetarian, although they eat some insects. Young gorillas often play together. They run around and climb trees. At night, the animals make a nest to sleep in. the lighter gorillas nest in trees. The heavier gorillas make nests on the ground and babies sleep with their mothers. Gorillas rarely attack humans. They only fight when something or someone attacks them or their young. In that situation, they will fight to the death. Hunters looking for baby gorillas may have to kill the whole family to get what they want.Sadly, there are fewer than 650 mountain gorillas left in the wild, which means they are an endangered animal. These gorillas only live in the mountain jungles of central Africa. They are endangered because people hunt them for food and for sport. They are also threatened by war, and humans cutting down their forests for farmland, fuel and housing. Life for these gentle giants isn’t peaceful.8. What is a silverback according to the passage?A. Any gorillas with silver fur.B. Any male gorillas in the group.C. The leader in the gorillas family.D. The oldest gorillas in the group.9. Where would you expect to find a silverback gorillas sleeping at night?A. In the trees.B. On the ground.C. With the baby gorillas.D. Away from others.10. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refers to ______.A. fightersB. huntersC. baby gorillasD. gorilla families11. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?A. To describe the lifestyle of mountain gorillas.B. To summarize （概括）the details of the passage.C. To explain why mountain gorillas are endangered.D. To examine the behavior （行为）of mountain gorillas.D“Have a nice day” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure （安全）since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a nice day. Next!” The version of the expression is spoken by a salegirl at supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words came out in the same tone （强调）with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day”The express ion can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know t hey care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.12. How does the author understand Maxie’s word s?A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.B. Maxie really wishes the author a good day.C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.D. Maxie really worries about the author’s security.13. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The salesgirl is rude.B. The salesgirl is bored.C. The salesgirl cares about me.D. The salesgirl says the words as a routine （例行公事）.14. By saying “Have a nice day”, a stranger may ______.A. try to be polite to youB. express respect to youC. give his blessing to youD. share his pleasure with you15. What is the best title of the passage?A. Have a Nice Day—a Social CustomB. Have a Nice Day—a Pleasant GestureC. Have a Nice Day—a Heart-warming GreetingD. Have a Nice Day—a Polite Ending of a Conversation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。

Where can you probably find this passage?A．On a school noticeboard. B．In a science paper.C．In a newspaper editorial. D．In an encyclopedia.“A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots (靴子) on.” said Mark Twain. In today’s Internet world of “fake (假的) news,” lies spread even faster and the truth is having trouble finding its boots.To make matters worse, most young people get news from social media sites where facts are mixed with rumors (谣言), half-truths and complete lies. This has led to young people becoming confused. In the latest PISA, which tested 15-year-olds worldwide on academic subjects, fewer than one in ten of the examinees were reported to be able to recognize fact from opinion. A Stanford University study showed that students at all levels of education could not tell teal news from fake news. In one instance, 80 percent thought that a paid advertisement was a real news story.Fake news is spread by people who have a prejudice (偏见). They want to influence public opinion either for or against something or someone. It is important, then, for young people to recognize when they are being used and to be doubtful about online information.Traditional media, such as newspapers and television, are still the more credible sources of information. Reporters are professional trained to look for facts, and editors have the job of making sure those facts are correct. However, if you are getting most of your information online, you have to be your own editor. In that case, the first thing to do is to look at the writer of a post. Is this person known to be objective? Does the site where you read the post have a prejudice? Next, look for other sources from mainstream media to make sure the information. In other words, by putting on your truth boots you won’t be fooled into chasing lies.4. What does the writer say about young people with news around?A．They make fake news and spread it. B．They are easily fooled by fake news.C．They get worried about their education. D．They can recognize facts from opinions.5.

According to the writer, what can help us avoid being fooled by fake news?A．Only look for news through media.B．Become a professional and trained reporter.C．Compare the news from different sources.D．focus on the new instead of the writer.7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．What Should a Reporter Do?B．Who Makes and Spreads Fake New?C．How Can We Become a Newspaper Editor?D．How Can We Stay Objective in Reading News?Twelve years ago, Danny called me from a dark, damp subway station. “A baby!” he shouted. “Get down here, and flag down a police car or something.” By nature, Danny is a very calm person, so when I could almost feel his heartbeat through the phone line, I ran.When I got to the subway station, Danny was holding a light-brown-skinned baby, about a day old. The baby had been wrapped (被包裹) in an oversize black sweatshirt and left on the ground in a corner behind the gate.What neither of us knew, or could have assumed, was that Danny had not just saved an abandoned infant; he had found our son.Three months later, Danny appeared in family court to tell the story of finding the baby. Suddenly, the judge asked, “Would you be interested in adopting this baby?” Th e question surprised everyone in the courtroom, except Danny, who answered, simply, “Yes.”“But I know it’s not that easy,” he said.“Well, it can be,” said the judge before giving orders to allow me to be a parent-to-be.My first reaction, when I heard, went something like, “Are you crazy? How could you say yes without asking me?In three years as a couple, we had never discussed adopting a child: I was an devoted playwright (剧作家) working as a part-time word clerk. Danny was a respected yet wildly under-paid social worker. We had a roommate, who slept in our living room, to help pay the rent.We knew how many challenges couples usually faced when they want to have a baby. And while Danny had patience and selflessness, I didn’t know how to change a diaper (尿布), let alone nurse a child. I didn’t trust the social system and was sure there would be difficulties. Also, I couldn’t handle parenthood. So I promised myself I wouldn’t devote to it.The caretaker held the baby and then placed him in my arms. But when the baby stared up at me, with all the innocence and hope he showed to me, I, like Danny, completely fell for him.8. Why did the author rush to the subway station?A．Because Danny finally found their son.B．Because she sensed Danny met something urgent.C．Because Danny had a heart disease.D．Because someone gave birth to a baby there.9. How did the author feel on hearing Danny’s answer to the judge’s question?A．Excited by Danny’s words.B．Crazy to be a parent-to-be.C．Angry about Danny’s decision.D．Upset about losing her authority.10. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______.A．the author will adopt the babyB．the couple were not to take the babyC．the baby will bring hope to the familyD．the couple love each other very much11. What is the author’s intention of writing the passage?A．To introduce a story of a poor family.B．To inform people of the difficulty of adopting a baby.C．To call on people to donate money to them.D．To show human’s kindness and love by nature.If you want to make sure that you understand this story as fully as possible, you might consider printing the article and reading it on paper. That is one of the findings of a recent study of research done on the differences between paper and screen reading.Virginia Clinton carried out the research examination. Clinton looked at 33 past studies done between 2008 and 2018 that examined paper versus screen reading. Her examination found that reading from paper generally led to better understanding and improved a person’s performance on tests connected to the reading material. And, she found no major differences in reading speed between the two. Such differences were notable only when the reading materials were expository texts — or explanatory and based on facts. Clinton said she found no major difference when it came to narrative, fictional texts.Clinton also found that paper readers usually have a higher recognition of how well they have understood a text than screen readers. This skill is called metacognitio n. The word “cognition” means the mental action of increasing knowledge and understanding. “Metacognition” simply means thinking about one’s own thinking.Clinton said, “We think that we’re reading the story or the book better than we actually are. Wethin k we understand what we are reading better than how we are actually reading.” Yet, this inflated （夸大的）sense of understanding, or over-confidence, is especially common among screen readers.Clinton said there are many possible reasons for such findings. Over-confidence of screen readers, for example, could be the result of a less focused mind. Clinton said, “If you are enjoying thereading, you’re going to be more concentrated. You’re going to be paying better attention. Preferences are a key issue here.”Several studies have found that people often think of paper materials as more important and serious. “If you are reading from paper, your mind thinks, ‘This is something important. I need to pay attention to it’,” Clinton said. Readers might connect computer screens with fun, less serious activities — such as checking social media or watching Netflix. That, Clinton said, could explain why most studies find no major difference in screen and paper among narrative, fictional reading materials. Clinton described t his kind of reading as “enjoyment reading”.Although her findings may support paper reading over screen reading, Clinton points to new and developing tools that can be used to improve a screen reader’s understanding and focus. “For example, when you’re rea ding off of a screen it can be programmed that you have to answer questions and get them right before you can continue. Paper can’t make you do that.”12. Which of the followings is not true about Clinton’s research?A．In order to carry out the research, Clinton checked over 30 studies that shared similartopic.B．When it comes to fictions, paper readers and screen readers tend to have the same speed.C．Paper readers usually are more aware of their level of understanding about the text.D．Whether a reader likes the reading or not does not influence his or her degree ofconcentration.13. Which of the following actions in daily life reflects “metacognition”?A．Matt always tries to figure out the personality of the characters when reading a book.B．Tom often writes down his mind map and evaluates it after solving a math problem.C．“I think I am in love with you.” Ted said to Mary without a second thought.D．We are expected to pay attention to others’ feelings when talking with them.14. What does Clinton think is the advantage of screen reading?A．It can be programmed to check understanding.B．It provides the same reading materials.C．It has tools to force readers to continue reading.D．It encourages readers to read at a high speed.15. What is the main idea of the passage?A．Screen time makes reading more effective.B．Paper reading is more effective than screen reading.C．Screen-reading is more suitable for some readers.D．Computer reading is improving paper reading.If you are like most international students, you are probably pretty comfortable reading and writing in English. 16 Below are some tips to help you to improve your conversational skills.Make friends with American students. Many international students end up making friends with a lot of, or only other international students instead of native speakers. 17 In fact, hanging out with natives not only naturally pushes you to improve your spoken English, but also helps you pick up cultural and social information.Learn from American friends. Tell your American friends that you are trying to improve your listening and speaking skills, and would like them to help you. If you pronounce a word incorrectly, or misuse an idiom, you ask them to guide you. 18Increase your knowledge. 19 If you have been exposed to topics that are likely to be discussed in conversation, you have a much better chance of understanding people when they talk, and of being able to express yourself well.20 If you have to explain something to someone, you are eager to pronounce everything as well as you can to explain yourself. Finally, this becomes a good habit. Many people have asked me how I learned to speak English fluently, and I owe most of it to my years of being a math teacher in college for years.My kids and I were heading into the supermarket over the weekend. On the way, we saw a man holding a piece of paper that said, “_____ my job. Family to Feed.”At this store, a _____like this is not normal.

Let’s take a look at a handful chocolate factories throughout the USA to see how the sweet confection （糖果）is made.Hershey’s Chocolate TourIn Pennsylvania, the Hershey’s Chocolate Tour(free) at Hershey’s Chocolate World is an amusement ride that takes visitors through the production process, from harvesting cocoa beans in the tropical rainforest to the end result---Hershey’s Chocolate. You can taste a sample （样品）at the end of the tour.Taza Chocolate TourThe factory tour at Taza Chocolate ($6 per person) in Somerville, just outside of Boston, is offered daily and takes visitors on the journey from bean to bar through a unique, stone-ground （用细磨磨的）method using traditional Mexican stone mills.Hoffman’s Chocolate Factory TourHoffman’s Chocolate factory in Greenacres offers daily chocolate factory tours (free). The through-the-window observation tour includes the story of cocoa and the history of chocolate, as well as a personal experience with chocolatiers as they explain how their chocolate is made.Askinosie Chocolate tourThe Askinosie Chocolate’s factory tour ($5 per adult, $4 per child/student) in Springfield lets visitors hear stories of farmer partners that Askinosie works with across the globe. All of the roasting, pressing, molding and packaging is done by hand, and Askmosie is one of the only craft chocolate makers pressing their own cocoa butter.Seattle’s Theo Chocolate TourSeattle’s Theo Chocolate is a must-stop when visiting the Emerald City, and taking a tour of the factory ($10 per person) is an added treat. The one-hour tour begins with an educational part in which the different cocoa beans and areas are introduced, giving visitors insight into how different chocolates are cultivated （培育）.1．David wants to go to a chocolate factory with his little sister Belle, but he only has 7 dollars in his pocket. Belle is eager to taste them. They can visit ______.A．Hershey’s Chocolate World B．Taza Chocolate factory C．Hoffman’s Choc olate factory D．Askinosie Chocolate factory2．If you need to write an article about cocoa beans and only have one hour for the tour, you can attend ______.A．Hershey’s Chocolate Tour B．Hoffman’s Chocolate Tour C．Askinosie Chocolate tour D．Seattle’s Theo Chocolate Tour 3．Robert is a fan of hand-made chocolate and is quite particular about （挑剔）food materials and ingredients. He will travel to the city ______.A．Pennsylvania B．Greenacres C．Springfield D．EmeraldAccording to a new study, putting preschooler(学龄前儿童) in bed by 8 p.m. could reduce their chances of becoming overweight or obese later in life by half. Preschoolers are children around the age of 4 or 5.The World Health Organization says obesity can lead to serious long-term health problems like diabetes, heart disease and stroke.Researchers from the Ohio State University’s College of Public Health have found that young children who go to bed after 9 p.m. are twice as likely to be obese later in life. The researchers wrote their findings in The Journal of Pediatrics.The lead author of the study is Sarah Anderson. She is a professor of epidemiology(流行病学). Anderson says that, for parents, the results of the study support the importance of creating a bedtime routine.She says that having a u sual bedtime routine is something “families can do to lower their children’s risk” of becoming overweight.Researchers used data from 977 children for the study. These children are part of a larger project called the Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development. The project follows healthy babies born in 1991 in 10 cities in US.When these children turned 15 years old, the researchers looked at their rates of obesity. Of those with the earliest bedtimes, only one out of 10 was obese. Of those who went to bed between 8 and 9 p.m., 16 percent became obese. And out of those with the latest bedtimes, 23 percent became obese.The World Health Organization reported in 2014 that the number of overweight babies and young children worldwide had increased from 31 million in 1990 to 44 million in 2012. If that trend continues, the WHO warns, there will be 70 million obese children in the world by 2025.4．According to the passage, the risk of obesity ______.A．can be cut by half if children go to bed by 9 p.m.B．can lead to low blood pressure, diabetes and heart diseaseC．is the highest at the age of 4 or 5D．is higher for those children who sleep late at night5．The underlined word “obese” in the first paragraph means ______.A．heavy B．light C．fat D．slim 6．Which of the following statements is TRUE about the research?A．The research is organized by the World Health Organization.B．The result shows that children sleeping before 8 p.m. have the lowest rate of obesity. C．The findings are based on the data provided by The Journal of Pediatrics.D．The research is funded(提供资金) by the Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development.7．What is the author’s attitude towards the result of the research?A．Objective(客观) B．Disappointed C．Positive D．SatisfiedZoos divide opinion: there are those who think it is cruel to keep animals locked up while others believe zoos are essential for the survival of endangered species （濒危物种）.To argue that zoos imprison（囚禁）animals is to misunderstand what zoos are about. Without zoos many of the creatures we love and admire would no longer survive. Every single day, over one hundred animal species disappear. Scientists predict that as early as 2050 one quarter of the Earth’s species will become extinct.Some animals are in danger because they are hunted. The population of tigers has already fallen by ninety-five percent. Other species are in danger because of a lack of food. For example, there are fewer than 1300 giant pandas left in the wild.Zoos have special breeding programmes（育种计划）to help those animals at risk. These breeding programmes are proving extremely successful. As Irene Shapiro from Zoo and Wildlife Support says, “the Puerto Rican Parrot has grown in numbers from just thirteen toabout eighty-five and the Golden Lion Tamarin Monkey, which has almost stopped to exist（存在）twenty years ago, has been reintroduced back into the wild.”Unfortunately, not everyone understands this important role zoos play. For example, Brian Featherstone from the Anti-Zoo Forum says, “I can’t believe we take animals from the wild and put them in cages for the entertainment of the public! We should view them on film or TV in their natural environment.”However, this misses the point. A zoo does more than display animals to the public. It ensures their survival. Without zoos you would not be able to see many of these animals on TV or anywhere else!8．What’s the writer’s attitude towards zoos?A．He shows no opinion either for or against them.B．He thinks that they are unnecessary and cruel.C．He believes they play an important environmental role.D．He expresses a desire that more of them be built.9．According to the passage the world’s tiger population ______.A．will rise by 5% next year B．is relatively stableC．is 95% smaller than in the past D．has fallen to 95%10．According to the passage some people do not agree with zoos because they ______ A．are too expensive to run B．put animals in dangerC．do not provide enough food D．keep animals locked up 11．According to the writer, the most important function of the zoo is to ______.A．make a lot of money B．entertain visitorsC．ensure animals’ survival D．educate the publicHere are a few good ideas for Easter party games for kids, teens, and adults, which are sure to be a hit.Kids are the age group that is the easiest to please. They love getting into the spirit of Easter.Eyeball Relay Race: The children should be divided into teams. The first child of each team should be given a spoon along with a ping-pong ball painted to look like an eyeball. They have to carry the eyeball on the spoon to the end of a course and return, and hand it to the next child. The team that is done first wins.Guess the Scarecrow’s （稻草人的）Nose: A sheet with a scarecrow painted on it will have to be made ahead of time. Cut out the nose part of the scarecrow. The children should be divided into two teams. Each child from the team outside puts his or her nose through the hole in the sheet, while the children inside the room try and guess whose nose it is.Ghostly Waiter: The children are divided into teams. The first child of each team has to balance a balloon on a paper plate. Each child has to walk as fast as he or she can up and down a set course. The team that finishes first is the winner.Easter Freeze Monster （怪物）: All the players should be in Easter costumes. The player who becomes the Freeze Monster must run after the others; trying to touch them. Every time he or she touches a player, that player has to stand still until somebody unfreezes them. To unfreeze a frozen player, somebody must come close to the frozen player and guess out aloud who he or she is. If they don’t guess right in three tries, they have to go away and try unfreezing somebody else. The player who is the Freeze Monster can freeze the player trying to unfreeze somebody.12．The underlined word “hit” in the first paragraph means ______.A．a thing that is popular B．an act of beating somethingC．an idea of pleasing others D．a game played in a party13．If Tom wants to win in Eyeball Relay Race, he should ______.A．paint a table tennis ball quicklyB．run with a ball on the spoon quicklyC．give the spoon to the next childD．hold the spoon and eyeball firmly14．The children should be divided into two teams in ______.A．Eyeball Relay Race B．Ghostly WaiterC．Guess the Scarecrow’s Nose D．Easter Freeze Monster 15．According to the passage, which two games are quite similar?A．Eyeball Relay Race and Guess the Scarecrow’s Nose.B．Ghostly Waiter and Eyeball Relay Race.C．Guess the Scarecrow’s Nose and Easter Freeze Monste r.D．Easter Freeze Monster and Ghostly Waiter.二、七选五How to Eat Slowly to Avoid OvereatingEating slowly can help you to better understand your real hunger signals and recognize reasons for faster eating, such as emotions or simply liking the taste of food. However, eating slowly is not a decision that you make suddenly. 16．1. Adjust you mind. Do not even attempt to acquire the habit of eating slowly before you’re mentally ready. Relax and use your imagination to create mental images that your brain will remember. As part of this mental process, imagine yourself thin and fit.2. 17．Eating slowl y isn’t just about slowing down the chewing; it’s also about slowing down your food choices. As you pick out the processed food, replace it with healthy, unprocessed or less processed choices.3. Always relax before you start eating. Take a few deep breaths through the nose, not through the mouth. As you do so, hold your breath briefly and exhale（呼出）slowly by the mouth. 18．In this way, you remove any risk of comfortable eating.4. Drink a glass of water or a small bowl of soup before the main dishes. This will give youa sense of fullness. Be aware that not everyone advocates drinking during a meal, as some people believe that this can remove the nutrients from your meal. 19．5. Spend at least 20 minutes on your meal. 20．Eat your last portion slowly, if you are still hungry after 20 minutes, because it means you are eating too fast!A．Put the forks down after putting food in your mouth.B．Get rid of the stress before you start eating.C．It’s a habit that you need to acquire with practice.D．However, specialists believe water actually aids in digestion.E.Remove as much processed food from your plate or food storage as possible.F.Have a clock in sight from the table to adjust your eating speed.G.It is wise to talk to your doctor about this, if it’s still a problem for you.三、完形填空On August 26, 1999, New York City was struck by a terrible rainstorm.

He thought he had many reasons to live in the world.BPlants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight.Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us. If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores (胚芽). Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants. 3．The main idea of the first paragraph is that .A. plants arc important for lifeB. plants cannot grow without airC. there are many plants in the worldD. we can not live without water4．Plants can make food from .A. flower, water and airB. water, sunlight and airC. air, water and soilD. air, sun and light5．What can we infer (推断) from the passage?A.
