‎2018-2019学年内蒙古鄂尔多斯市第一中学高一下学期开学考试英语试题 I卷(选择题共80分）‎ 第一部分 阅读理解 第一节：共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A Imagine being given the opportunity to wake up lions, eat your meals with monkeys, and even share your bath with bears, all from the comfort of a unique new lodging（住宿）experience.‎ The Jamala Wildlife Lodge opened its doors in January 2015, which was set up in an effort to educate visitors about aiding the survival of many of the world’s endangered species.‎ ‎“It’s great for the animals; they’re going to get more space. It’s great for the viewing public; they’re going to get more things to see. It will be great for tourism and just for the local community,” said Richard Tindale, the owner and operator.‎ Spreading across three locations in the National Zoo, the 18 rooms, which range from giraffe tree houses to jungle bungalows, offer a fantastic experience with wildlife.‎ The Giraffe Treehouse The Giraffe Treehouse is set among the giraffe enclosures, and the Jungle Bungalows are luxurious individual houses which are next to either lion, cheetah(猎豹), brown bear, or Malaysian sun bear enclosures.‎ The Ushaka House Housing up to 26 people, the Ushaka House is built around the monkey enclosure and has a built-in aquarium which offers private views of some of the zoo’s sharks.‎ The Burley Griffin House Only meters from the edge of Lake Burley Griffin, the indoor and outdoor entertaining areas have splendid views across the lake to Black Mountain.‎ The Shark House The Shark House has its own little jetty(码头) and it comes out over the shark tank here and so the people who stay in the room will be able to go to their bedroom and pat the shark.‎ Location Located in the heart of Australia’s political capital, the Jamala Wildlife Lodge at the National Zoo and Aquarium is just ten minutes from Canberra’s Central Business District.‎ ‎1. Which of the following is TRUE about the Jamala Wildlife Lodge?‎ A. The Jamala Wildlife Lodge has altogether 26 houses.‎ B. The Jamala Wildlife Lodge has a very long history.‎ C. The Jamala Wildlife Lodge is outside the National Zoo.‎ D. The Jamala Wildlife Lodge lies in the heart of Canberra.‎ ‎2. If a tourist wants to visit Lake Burley Griffin, he’d better choose ________.‎ A. The Giraffe Treehouse B. The Ushaka House C. The Burley Griffin House D. The Shark House ‎3. The purpose of writing the passage is to ________.‎ A. attract more tourists to visit the National Zoo B. introduce the Jamala Wildlife Lodge in Australia C. raise people’s awareness of protecting animals D. offer visitors an opportunity to play with sharks B Watson entered Mr Smith’s office. The boss was a hard man. He fired people who didn’t do well without giving them a second chance.‎ ‎“Watson,” said Mr Smith, “this past year your department hasn’t earned money. We’re going to drop that department. It’s finished. I’m sorry---but you’ll have to go.” “But, sir---if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.”‎ ‎“What’s that!” said the Boss. “Riverside! I didn’t know you had a boy there. That’s an expensive school for a man with your salary.”‎ ‎“I know, sir. But he likes it there so much! He’s a star trackman（田径运动员）and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him Champ（冠军）there.”‎ The Boss sat perfectly still for a long time---a faraway look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said,‎ ‎ “We’ve got to close your department, Watson. But you’ll take over a new job in another department. It means long hours---maybe more pay. Now get out. You’re here for life.”‎ Watson got out, with surprise in his face. Then the Boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbie’s last letter from Riverside School---written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again with sick pain. The letter read:‎ I can’t say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were. I guess it’s the same everywhere when you’re a cripple（跛脚的人）. But don’t worry about me, Dad. They’ve got a good chemistry department here. And there’s one boy here who is really great. He’s a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry. The boys call him Champ. He made them stop throwing my books around. And he knocked a boy down who hit me. He is the best friend I ever had. Dad, when I grow up, I want to do something for Champ. Something big---that he won’t even know about.‎ Your son,‎ ‎4. Watson was given a second chance because_________.‎ A. a man was needed in another department B. Mr Smith wanted to realize his son’s dream C. Mr Smith wanted to help Watson’s son D. Herbie told Mr Smith to do so in his letter ‎5. It can be inferred from the text that Champ is _________.‎ A. a classmate of Watson’s son B. Watson’s son C. the son of Mr Smith’s friend D. Mr Smith’s son ‎6. From the text we know that Herbie _______.‎ A. made friends with many boys B. was a college student C. died from an incurable disease D. didn’t live to grow up ‎7. Watson and Mr Smith both____________.‎ A. loved their sons deeply B. were hard men C. knew Champ D. were interested in chemistry C A bargain is something offered at a low and advantageous price. A more recent definition is: a bargain is a dirty trick to force money out of the pockets of silly and innocent people.‎ The cost of producing a new-for example - toothpaste would make 80p the proper price for it, so we will market it at £1.20. It is not a bad toothpaste, and as people like to try new things it will sell ‎ well to start with; but the attraction（吸引） of novelty soon disappears, so sales will fall. When that happens we will reduce the price to £1.15. And we will turn it into a bargain by printing 5p OFF all over it.‎ Sometimes it is not 5p OFF but 1p OFF. What breathtaking rudeness to advertise 1p OFF your soap or washing powder or whatever! Even the poorest old-age pensioner ought to regard this as an insult(侮辱), but he doesn't. A bargain must not be missed. People say one has to have washing powder (or whatever) and one might as well buy it a penny cheaper.‎ The real danger starts when unnecessary things become ‘bargains’. Many people just cannot resist bargains. Provided they think they are getting a bargain they will buy clothes they will never wear or furniture they have no space for. Once I heard of a man who bought an electric saw as a bargain and cut off two of his fingers the next day. But he had no regrets: the saw had been truly cheap.‎ Quite a few people actually believe that they make money on such bargains. A lady once told me: “I’ve had a lucky day today. I bought a dress for £120, reduced from £400; and l bought a beautiful Persian carpet for £600, reduced from £900.” It will never occur to her that she has actually wasted £720. She feels as though she had made £580. She also feels, I am sure, that if she had more time for shopping, she could make a living out of it.‎ Some people buy in large quantities because it is cheaper. Once a couple bought enough sugar for their lifetime and the lifetime of their children and grandchildren. They thought it a bargain not to be missed. When the sugar arrived they didn't know where to store it - until they realized that their toilet was a very spacious one. So that was where they piled up their sugar. Not only did their guests feel rather strange whenever they were offered sugar to put into their coffee, but the toilet became extremely sticky.‎ To offer bargains is a commercial trick to make the poor poorer. When greedy fools fall for this trick, it serves them right.‎ ‎8. Which word best describes the language style of the passage?‎ A. Polite. B. Foolish. C. Humorous. D. Serious.‎ ‎9. What does the underlined word “novelty” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?‎ A. Good quality. B. Low price. C. Curiosity. D. Newness.‎ ‎10. How does the author feel about 1p OFF a product?‎ A. It’s a gift for poor people. B. It’s an offense to shoppers.‎ C. It’s a bargain worth trying. D. It’s a real reduction in price.‎ ‎11. Which statement will the author probably agree with?‎ A. Bargains are things people don’t really need. B. Bargains are often real cheap products.‎ C. Bargains help people make a living. D. Bargains play tricks on people.‎ D From the health point of view we are living in a wonderful age. A large number of once fatal(致命的)illnesses can now be cured by modern medicine. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we see the unbelievable killing of people on the roads. Man is opposite to the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people are killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.‎ It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering-wheel(方向盘), his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man's worst character. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They are rude, ill-mannered and aggressive. All their hidden frustrations and disappointments seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.‎ The surprising thing is that society smiles on the motorist and seems to forgive the behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities and towns are made ugly by huge car parks.‎ It is high time a world law should be created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are not strict and even the strictest are not strict enough. A law which was universally accepted could only have a beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some things that might be done. The driving test should be made to a fixed standard and far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21 ; all vehicles should be put through strict annual tests for safety. Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. Driving speed should be limited on all roads. These measures may sound rather severe. But surely nothing should be considered difficult if it results in reducing the annual deaths. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars.‎ ‎12. The main idea of this passage is______.‎ A. traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists B. only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents C. thousands of people in the world are killed each year D. the laws of some countries about driving are too strict ‎13. Which of the following is right according to the passage?‎ A. It is right to build huge car parks in cities and towns.‎ B. Society ignores their rude driving.‎ C. Working by car can save time and money.‎ D. All the drivers must be asked to take a test every year.‎ ‎14. Why does the author say" his car becomes the extension of his personality" ?‎ A. Driving can show his temper.‎ B. Driving can bring out his good character.‎ C. Driving can make a man excited and joyful.‎ D. Driving can show his real self.‎ ‎15. The attitude of the author is______.‎ A. critical B. praising C. selfish D. determined 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。‎ ‎“So, what are you doing after graduation?” Many juniors and seniors get bored answering that question over and over. Most students, however, choose to go to college for further study. ______16______‎ Talking to Your Parents ‎______17______ Talk openly with your parents about your plans---both for the short term and the long term. If your parents want you to go to a college but you don’t feel that college is right for you, explain why.‎ ‎______18______‎ Your parents probably don’t know everything. For school and career guidance, visit your school consultant and talk with adult friends. Make an effort to talk to people in the fields that ‎ interest you. Ask friends in college about their schools and other schools they’re familiar with.‎ Making a Decision Some people know from an early age exactly what they want to be and how they plan to get there. However, not all of us are so sure of our plans, though, and that’s OK too. School is also not just about careers and getting a high-paying job after graduation----it’s a place for learning about yourself and the world. ______19______ You can always go back to school or change a career path----lots of people do.‎ Selecting a School If college is in your future, you need to plan.
