‎2018-2019学年黑龙江省鹤岗市第一中学高一下学期期中考试英语试卷 ‎ 第二部分：阅读理解 （共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节（共 15 小题；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 Five years ago, I was sent to a better middle school. For me, everything there was new and strange. After I had been there for two months, there was an important test in the middle of the term. It covered all my courses. In that test, I didn’t get a good grade, but most of my classmates got an A. ‎ ‎ It made me upset for a long time. I felt everything in the world was changing. I thought my classmates were all better than me. During those days I was very unhappy.‎ ‎ One day, my aunt, after talking with my teachers, talked to me. She told me to think about what I had done in the past and what I should do in the future. I was shocked by her words. I thought about what I had done during the past months, and I found I had done nothing to improve my grades. I thought I should work harder.‎ ‎ After that, I paid more attention to the teachers’ talking in the classes, and I asked my teachers or my classmates when I didn’t understand something. I studied very late at night when I met with difficult problems. Most of all, I came to understand the importance of taking notes in class. As a result, I did better in some tests. ‎ ‎ About three months later, the most important test came at the end of the term. This time, I stood out not only in my class but also in the grade. From then on, I have tried to do my best when I do something because I know if I want something, I should work hard for it. ‎ ‎21. Why did the writer fall behind in the new middle school? _________‎ A. Because the teachers didn’t treat him well enough.‎ B. Because the subjects were becoming more difficult. ‎ C. Because he hated the life in the new school. ‎ D. Because he didn’t put his heart into study. ‎ ‎22. What did the writer’s aunt do to help him out? _________ ‎ A. She punished him for not working hard. ‎ B. She helped him find out the reasons for his poor performance. ‎ C. She forced him to work harder. ‎ D. She asked his teachers to talk with him about his problems. ‎ ‎23. Which of the following studying methods helped the writer most?_________ ‎ A. Asking teachers for help when in difficulty. ‎ B. Working deep into the night every day. ‎ C. Making notes in class. ‎ D. Listening to every word his teachers said. ‎ ‎24. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean? __________ ‎ A. The writer failed again in the exam. ‎ B. The writer did very well in the exam. ‎ C. The writer became the cleverest in the class.‎ D. The writer was very proud of his progress. ‎ ‎ B Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources (来源), as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills (风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.‎ ‎ For many centuries, people used windmills to grind ( 磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.‎ ‎ During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.‎ ‎25. From the text we know that windmills ________.‎ A. were invented by European armies B. have a history of more than 2,800 years C. used to supply power to radio in remote areas D. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered ‎26. What was a new use for wind power in the late 19th century? _______‎ A. Sailing a boat. B. Producing electricity C. Grinding wheat into flour. D. Pumping water from underground ‎27.One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that_________.‎ A. wind power is cleaner B. it is one of the oldest power sources C. it was cheaper to create energy from wind D. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs ‎28. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?______‎ A. The advantages of wind power.‎ B. The design of wind power plants.‎ C. The worldwide movement to save energy.‎ D. The global trend towards producing power from wind.‎ ‎ C I fell in love with England because it was quaint（古雅）—all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.‎ ‎ Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and ‎ good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners—people shut doors heavily to your face and politeness is disappearing.‎ ‎ I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.‎ ‎ As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb（大量的钱）on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p. m. I used to use it, but now I’m afraid.‎ ‎ The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbor who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.‎ ‎29. The writer doesn’t like London because she______.‎ ‎ A. is not used to the life there now ‎ B. has lived there for seventeen years ‎ C. prefers to live in an old-fashioned house ‎ D. has to be polite to everyone she meets there ‎30. Where do people usually meet their friends in England? ______.‎ ‎ A. In a cafe. B. In a restaurant C. In a night club D. In a pub.‎ ‎31. The underlined part “it” (in Para. 4) refers to______.‎ ‎ A. a taxi B. the money ‎ ‎ C. a bomb D. public transport D ‎ America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometime s deeply into both families.‎ ‎ Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.‎ ‎ Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will ‎ find ourselves treated hospitably.‎ ‎ For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!‎ ‎32. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.‎ B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.‎ C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.‎ D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.‎ ‎33. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.‎ A. warmly welcomed at the airport B. offered a ride to his home C. treated hospitably at his home D. treated to dinner in a restaurant ‎34. The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______. ‎ A. strict with time B. serious with time C. careful with time D. willing to spend time ‎35. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”. ‎ A. Friendships between Chinese B. Friendships between Americans C. Americans’ hospitality D. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendships 三、七选五（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。‎ ‎36 Many students feel stressed around big moments in their lives like during final exams or when applying to college. Stress can be a pretty dangerous thing, because it can cause you to become sick. Here are some ways to cope with stress:‎ ‎ Laugh Laughter is really one of the best medicines. When things get stressful, do things that make you laugh. Watch a funny movie. 37 Chat with friends and family.‎ Take a Deep Breath Breathing is a great way to reduce your stress. Taking deep breaths or doing breathing exercises may seem silly, but it do help you relax and clear up your mind.‎ Plan Ahead Most students tend to study hard when test time comes close or do their homework right before it is due. However, having a plan will do a lot to decrease your stress. 38 ‎ Sleep Sleep is another great tool in reducing stress. 39 You should be getting at least 6 to 8 hours of sleep each night. As you know, a lack of sleep can be bad for your health.‎ Learn to Say “No”. 40 So there are times when it is okay to say “no” to the requests of friends, families and teachers. If it is going to add too much to your stress level, just say so.‎ A. There are a lot of ways to deal with stress. ‎ B. Sometimes life gets pretty stressful.‎ C. Read an interesting book.‎ D. Some stress comes from doing everything you’re asked to do.‎ E. It is essential that we allow our bodies to recover from daily stress.‎ F.

You can lose yourself for a while in the music.‎ 四、完形填空（共20小题: 每小题1.5分，共30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以 填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该 项涂黑。‎ Years ago, when I was working as a psychologist (心理医生) in England, a teenage boy 41 in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down 42 ，his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has 43 his family, " he wrote. "He is understandably very sad and 44 to talk to others, and I'm very 45 about him. Please help him.”‎ I looked at David and 46 him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems that psychology doesn't have the 47 to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to 48 openly and sympathetically (富有同情心地). ‎ The first two times we met, David didn’t say a word. He sat there, only looking at the children's drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we 49 a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon — in complete 50 and without looking at me. It's not easy to cheat in chess. 51 I admit I made sure David won once or twice Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up 52 I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my 53 . But why did he never look at me?‎ ‎“Perhaps he simply needs someone to 54 his pain, " I thought. "Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering. " Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me 55 .‎ ‎“It's your turn,” he said. ‎ After that day, David started 56 . He got friends in school and joined a 57 club. He wrote to me a few times about his bike riding with the club members, and about his plan to go to university. He really started to live his own life. ‎ Maybe I gave David 58 . But I also learned that one — without any words — can reach out to another person. All it 59 is a hug, a 60 to cry on, a friendly touch, or an ear that listens.‎ ‎41.

Japan is also a pleased country. It is known for "the land of the cherry blossom (樱花)" because of the spring of the year the cherry trees are so beautiful. Everywhere there are hundred of different kinds of wild flowers.‎ ‎　　Where there are not natural gardens，the Japanese has made their own.
