山大附中2019～2020学年第一学期期中考试 高一年级英语试题 ‎ 考试时间：90分钟 总分：100分 ‎ 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分 （共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节 阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）‎ A In Germany there are different kinds of high schools. Some prepare students for workers, others prepare them for college. All schools are great places for making friends and learning German.‎ Short days Most high schools in Germany begin at about 8:00 a.m. and end at about 3:30 p.m. This means your morning will be busy with classes. You will have time to do homework and take part in private(私人的) clubs after school.‎ Formal setting In Germany, teachers and students’ relationship is more formal than you might be used to. Teachers are respected and students must use the formal “Sie(德语：您)” when talking to teachers.‎ Getting to school Most students take public transport to school or ride a bicycle. Some areas have school buses. It is not common for parents to drive students to school.‎ Private clubs In many countries, schools offer official sports and after-school activities. This is less common in Germany. After-school activities are usually organized through private clubs. There are clubs for things like soccer, dance, choir, theatre and almost everything else. Once you are in Germany, ask around at school and talk to other students to find out what private clubs are in your area and meet your interests.‎ Different states, different schools Each of Germany’s 16 states has its own slightly different school systems. The school system in Brandenburg will be a little different from the system in Bavaria, for example. Where you live, your knowledge level and your age will decide what school you can attend.‎ ‎1. For high school students in Germany, which is NOT the common transport to school?‎ A. School buses B. Parents’ cars C. Public transport D. Students’ bicycles ‎2. From the passage, we can learn that in Germany _______.‎ A. all kinds of high schools are for college ‎ B. age is not important for attending schools C. students can take part in after-school activities from 8:00 a. m .to 3:30 p.m.‎ D. students can join private clubs to meet their interests ‎3. What can be the best title for this article? ‎ A. German Private Clubs B. German Public Transport C. German High Schools D. German College Systems B Audrey Hepburn won an Academy Award as Best Actress for her first major American movie, Roman Holiday, which was released in 1953. But she is remembered as much for her aid work as for her acting.‎ Born in Belgium in 1929, Audrey’s father was British and her mother was Dutch. Audrey was sent to live at a British school for part of her childhood. During World War II, she lived and studied in the Netherlands. Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks. Audrey studied dance as a teenager and during college when she returned to London after the war. But she realized she wasn’t going to be a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员). So she began taking acting parts in stage shows. Later she began to get small parts in movies.‎ But it was Audrey Hepburn’s move to America that brought her true fame. In 1951 she played the character “Gigi” in the Broadway play of the same name to great critical praise. Two years later, Roman Holiday made her a star at the age of 24.‎ Audrey made more than 25 movies. Among her most popular roles was Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tifany’s in 1961. Three years later she played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.‎ She was married two times and had one son by each husband. In 1989, the UN Children’s Fund named Audrey a goodwill ambassador. She travelled all over the world in support of UNICEF (联合国儿童基金会) projects. The UN agency said she was a tireless worker. She often gave 15 interviews a day to gain money and support for UNICEF projects.‎ Audrey Hepburn often said her loyalty to UNICEF was the result of her experiences as a child during World War II. She said she knew what it was like to be starving and to be saved by international aid. She was a goodwill ambassador until her death in 1993 from colon cancer.‎ ‎4. In Paragraph 1, “her aid work” means ___________.‎ A. winning an Academy Award as Best Actress B. taking acting parts in stage shows C. making her own movies D. acting as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF ‎5. We can infer from the passage that ___________ .‎ A. Audrey’s parents lived in Germany during World War II B. Audrey lived in America in the 1950s C. Audrey was made to give up dancing D. the character “Gigi” in the Broadway play was her most popular role ‎6. _______ is the right order for Audrey’s life.‎ ‎①The first time she began to play in movies.‎ ‎②She returned to London from the Netherlands.‎ ‎③She won an Academy Award as Best Actress.‎ ‎④She travelled all over the world in support of UNICEF projects.‎ ‎⑤She played a part in My Fair Lady.‎ A. ②①③⑤④ ‎ B.①②③⑤④‎ C. ②①⑤③④ ‎ D. ①②⑤③④‎ C The biggest challenge faced by travelers especially those who like to have a hiking trip is how to ensure a steady supply of clean clothes. Now, thanks to a great invention called Scrubba Wash Pack, that worry may be a thing of the past.‎ The portable(手提的) washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2010, while planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited packing space, he got inspiration(灵感) from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes. Then he gave up his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bag’s design. By 2012, the bag was ready for the public. It weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage space, making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.‎ Not surprisingly, the bag worth 55 dollars was an instant hit with travelers, university students and even passengers. However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a flaw(缺点) with his invention – dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag! The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem.‎ In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two to three liters of water. The bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out(挤出去) and the clothes are massaged for a few minutes. After a quick wash, they are clean and ready to be dried. According to Newland, the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks! What’s even more amazing is that with a capacity to hold 13 liters of water, it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.‎ The best part is that the 99-dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year, only weighs 300 grams and is completely foldable, making it easy to store when it’s not in use. With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!‎ ‎7.What led Ash Newland to create the Scrubba Wash Bag?‎ A. His job requirements. B. A traditional washboard.‎ C. His interest in invention. D. His personal experience.‎ ‎8.Why wasn’t Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention?‎ A. Clothes couldn’t be washed well.‎ B. The invention was not so convenient.‎ C. The bag couldn’t contain enough water.‎ D. The cost of the invention was very high.‎ ‎9. It can be inferred that the improved Wash Pack ______.‎ A. turns to be much environmentally friendlier B. will replace the traditional washing machines C. will be widely used by more travelers in the future D. can encourage more people to travel a long distance ‎10. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. Introducing a great new invention.‎ B. Explaining the development of backpack C. Listing some common problems for travelers.‎ D. Comparing two kinds of washing machines.‎ 第二节 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。‎ Rules on how to be a fit kid Being fit is a way of saying a person; a person eats well, gets a lot of physical exercise, and has a healthy weight. 11 .
