内蒙古包头市重工业集团有限公司第三中学2019-2020学年高一第二学期期中考试 英语试题 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）‎ 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。‎ A London weekend Walks ‎1,000 Years of History ‎11:00 am Westminster Underground This walk is the best choice for the first-time visitor. We’ll show you where kings and queens were crowned(加冕), where they lived and where they are buried. You will see where politicians have shaped the course of history over the years. This walk finishes at the House of Parliament, which you can visit afterwards at a good discount.‎ Canals and Cafes ‎11:00 am Camden Town Underground Camden Town, with its canals, cafes and studios, is the home of many artists, musicians and writers. The high point of the walk is a visit to Camden Lock, London’s most exciting street market. You may like to take a canal trip to London Zoo after this walk.‎ Historic Greenwich ‎2:00 pm Tower Hill Underground The walk begins with the best boat ride in London, five kilometers down the river from Tower Bridge to the Royal Naval College in Greenwich. From there you’ll walk through Greenwich Park past the Naval Museum and other historic buildings to the village itself. We’ll take you down narrow streets with busy shops and markets, back to the riverside where this walk ends.‎ Unexpected London ‎3:00pm Tower Hill Underground This walk begins with a ride on Europe’s most modern city railway giving you fine views across the Thames and riversides area. We will get on and off the train for mini-walks to discover the hidden corners of the former port(港口) of London.‎ To go on one of our walks, simply meet your guide in the street outside the underground stations. All these walks last about two hours and end near underground stations. A walk costs ￡4.50(￡3.50 for the elderly).Children under 12 can go for free but they must be with an adult.‎ ‎1. Which walk includes a visit to London’s most exciting street market?‎ A. Canals and Cafes. B. Historic Greenwich.‎ C. Unexpected London. D. 1,000 Years of History.‎ ‎2. What will you do on the Historic Greenwich walk?‎ A. Walk through the Royal Naval College.‎ B. Visit the Naval Museum.‎ C. Meet famous people.‎ D. Take a boat trip.‎ ‎3. How much will a young couple with their 6-year-old kid spend on one of the walks?‎ A. ￡4.50. B. ￡7.00. C. ￡9.00. D. ￡13.50.‎ B A lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal attack— when a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who was on his trapped way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum(最后通牒) about the job. Although there was a good reason for Sam’s being late—serious illness at home—he realized that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer. His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.‎ Yes, the boss was. Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room; everyone was hard at work. Sam’s supervisor came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand. “How do you do!” he said, “I’m Sam Maynard. I’m applying for a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?”‎ The room exploded in laughter, except that the supervisor had to clamp off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard had saved his job— with the only tool that could win, a laugh.‎ Humor is a most effective, yet frequently ignored, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying “no”, criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it’s the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialogue may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religions tolerance than people in any other form.‎ ‎4. Why was Sam late for his job?‎ A. Because he was seriously ill at home.‎ B. Because he received an ultimatum.‎ C. Because he was busy applying for a new job.‎ D. Because he was caught in a traffic jam.‎ ‎5. The phrase “clamp off” in Paragraph3 means________.‎ A. try to hold back B. pretend to set C. send off D. give out ‎6. Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage?‎ A. Many lose life’s battles for they are always late.‎ B. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.‎ C. It wasn’t the first time that Sam came late for his work.‎ D. Humor is the most effective way of solving problems.‎ ‎7. What’s the main idea of this passage?‎ A. Sam Maynard saved his job with humor.‎ B. Humor is important in our lives.‎ C. Early bird can get the worm.‎ D. Humor can solve racial discriminations.‎ C LONDON (Reuters) – Organic fruit, delivered right to the doorstep. That is what Gabriel Gold prefers, and he is willing to pay for it. If this is not possible, the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket buying organic food.‎ ‎“Organic product is always better,” Gold said. “The food is free of pesticides(杀虫剂), and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is tasty.” Gold is one of the growing number of shoppers buying ‎ into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are depending on more like him as they grow their organic food business. But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic product? Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences— but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic product. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand.” The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market,” said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.‎ ‎8. More and more people in Britain are buying organic food because__________.‎ A. they are getting richer.‎ B. they can get the food anywhere.‎ C. they consider the food free of pollution.‎ D. they like home-grown fruit.‎ ‎9. Which of the following statements is TRUE about most organic product sold in Britain?‎ A. It grows indoors throughout the year.‎ B. It is produced outside Britain.‎ C. It is grown on family farms.‎ D. It is produced on large farms.‎ ‎10. What is the meaning of the underlined words “the organic trend” in the second paragraph?‎ A. Growing interest in organic food.‎ B. Better quality of organic food C. Rising market for organic food.‎ D. Higher prices of organic food.‎ ‎11. What is the best title for this news story?‎ A. Good qualities of organic food.‎ B. The making of organic food in Britain.‎ C. Organic food— to import or not?‎ D. Organic food—healthy, or just for the wealthy?‎ D The American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamin’s older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.‎ Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin’s Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers, readers, market value, and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor of the Times said recently, “At places where they gather, editors ask one another, ‘How are you?’, as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case.” An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET”.‎ Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet, which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock (股票) drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Times stock. The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education; its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company’s income.‎ ‎12. What can we learn about the New England Courant?‎ A. It is mainly about the stock market.‎ B. It carries articles by political leaders.‎ C. It marks the beginning of newspapers.‎ D. It remains a successful newspaper in America.‎ ‎13. What can we infer about the newspaper editors?‎ A. They often accept readers’ suggestions.‎ B. They care a lot about each other’s health.‎ C. They stop doing business with advertisers.‎ D. They face great difficulties in their business.‎ ‎14. Which of the following found a new way for its development?‎ A. The Washington Post. B. The Guardian.‎ C. The New York Times. D. New England Courant.‎ ‎15. How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspaper?‎ A. Satisfied. B. Hopeful. C. Surprised. D. Worried.‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ We live in a sweet world. The average America kids consume more than 20 teaspoons of sugar per day. 16 We all know that too much sugar isn’t good for us. But do we know it can be poisonous? A team of researchers at the University of Utah used mice to conduct a study on the negative effects of sugar. 17‎ During the 58-week-long study, mice were fed the diet containing 25% more sugar. 18 The team found that these mice were twice as likely to die as the mice fed the similar diet without sugar.‎ Though the mice did not show signs of obesity or high blood pressure, they gave birth to 25% fewer offspring(后代) than the other mice. Scientists often use mice for research because they have something similar to humans. Finding from this study show negative effects that are not as obvious as weight gains or heart problems. 19‎ Different types of sugar have different effects on the human body. Some of the sugar we consume comes from foods we might expect- candy, soda, and cookies. 20 To help cut down on extra sugar consumption, nutrition experts suggest looking at the ingredients on food packages. Cutting sugar out of the American diet altogether may be difficult. But making the effort to control our sugar desires will provide for a truly sweeter future.‎ A. But much of the sugar that we eat is hidden.‎ B. They found it could have serious side effects on people’s health.‎ C. A big bowl of milk and cereal can be a great way to start the day.‎ D. And adults eat 50% more sugar today than they did in the 1970s.‎ E. Some kids’ foods are high in sugar but low in vitamins and minerals.‎ F. This percentage is equal to a healthy human diet along with three cans of soda daily.‎ A. But large amounts of sugar can cause long-term health problems and even shorten lives.‎ 第二部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ My wife, Jeannine, and I had always wanted to live somewhere else in the world.
