山丹一中2019-2020学年下学期期中模拟试卷 高一英语 ‎（考试时间：90分钟 试卷满分：120分）‎ 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，从每題所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A Are you looking for a large vehicle to take your family out for long drives and trips? ‎ Do you want a nice little car that can be driven through the thickest traffic with ease? ‎ Here, at The Clean Machine, our range (种类) of used vehicles has something for everyone. ‎ Over the years, we have realized that used car businesses always go for big sales but seldom offer an acceptable level of customer service. We decided to be different from that and put customers’ interests first. Here are some of our attractive offers.‎ Low on credit (信用)? No problem!‎ If you want a used car but your credit score is in a bad state, we can make it easier for you! We know just how difficult times can get. That is why we do not do a credit check. We know that a customer’s credit score is not the only measure of his / her ability to buy a car.‎ In-house financing We offer 100 percent in-house financing to our customers and do not rely on third-party lenders. With this, customers also get a Buy Here Pay Here offer. For example, if we have a $5,000 used vehicle, we would typically require half the cost as a down payment. The remaining would be paid at $200 or so per month.‎ Low down payment deals Based on the number of used cars we have at the time, we even offer low down payment deals for some cars less than $5,000, allowing customers to pay as little as $1,000 as a down payment. ‎ Call us today to find out just how close you are to owning your own car! 360-423-7054‎ ‎1. What does The Clean Machine provide?‎ A. Regular trips. B. Driving lessons.‎ C. Traffic information. D. Second-hand vehicles. ‎ ‎2. A credit check is unnecessary at The Clean Machine because ____________. ‎ A. people are losing their jobs B. there is less trade than usual C. a credit score is not so important D. people’s credit scores keep changing ‎3. How much will a customer pay immediately for a $5,000 car? ‎ A. $2,700. B. $2,500. C. $2,300. D. $1,000.‎ B The meaning of the word “volunteer ” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services.” There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage(垃圾) from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay.‎ At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.‎ ‎“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video(录像) about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks.”‎ ‎“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture(文化) that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”‎ ‎4.According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who ______.‎ A．is willing to help those in need without pay B．can afford to travel to different places C．has a strong wish to be successful D．has made a big fortune in life ‎5.Tracy started her work as a volunteer _______.‎ A．after she met Mother Teresa B．after she finished high school C．when she was touring Calcutta D．when she was working in a hospital ‎6.Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer?‎ A．She liked to work with Mother Teresa.‎ B．She had already had some experience.‎ C．She was asked by Mother Teresa’s example.‎ D．She wanted to follow Mother Teresa’s example.‎ ‎7.What is Tracy’s “new idea” (Paragraph 2) of being a volunteer?‎ A．Going abroad to help the sick.‎ B．Working in Mother Teresa’s home.‎ C．Doing simple things to help the poor.‎ D．Improving oneself through helping others.‎ C They meet on Mondays at lunch.‎ They remove their earphones, hide their smartphones and communicate without the help of electronic devices (设备).‎ They are the coolest kids at Mendez High School in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles.‎ They are the Reading Club.‎ ‎“This is truly the biggest club in the school,” said English teacher Rebecca Carriaga, who formed the group last year with librarian Kim Leng. The two of them have often reached into their own pockets to feed the book-reading fever of students, and the club now has 20 members and keeps growing.‎ Five years ago, English teacher Rebecca said it seemed that some students, many of whom had not been exposed to (接触) reading at home, were unwilling to read because they thought books were too difficult. So she tried to make them feel more relaxed by giving them books to read and ‎ then, rather than pass out written exams, she sat with each student to “interview” them about their impressions one-to-one.‎ ‎“I'd ask different questions and let them talk,” said Rebecca. “Then I noticed them recommending (推荐) books to each other.” ‎ She and her partner, Kim, knew they had to make use of that enthusiasm (热情) and then the club was set up. At first, the club talked about whatever book someone might be reading, but then came “Into the Beautiful North (by Luis Urrea),” the first book that all club members are reading and discussing together.‎ Dana Tsuruta, a third-year student, said she's enjoying the book so far. “The author puts a little humour into it and he puts a little bit of Spanish into it, too. I don't know much Spanish, but I'm curious,” she said.‎ ‎“This book is just interesting,” said another student Moanni Leos. Moanni said now she doesn't go anywhere without a book. ‎ ‎8. What do we know about the Reading Club?‎ A. It is the biggest club in Los Angeles. B. It has generous personal support.‎ C. It was started by some students.      D. It was set up five years ago.‎ ‎9. Why did some students refuse to read according to Rebecca?‎ A. They found books too boring.‎ B. They had no time for reading.‎ C. They found reading to be a very hard task.‎ D. They were influenced by their non-reading parents.‎ ‎10. How did Rebecca help improve students' reading?‎ A. By reading together with them.‎ B. By passing out some exams to them.‎ C. By asking them about their thoughts after reading.‎ D. By asking them to recommend books to each other.‎ ‎11. The examples of Dana and Moanni are given to show _____.‎ A. the kids are interested in reading B. the kids are curious about everything C. the kids enjoy reading humorous stories D. the kids learn to make better use of their time D Many expressions that we use in American English come from novels. Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll's famous novel"Alice in Wonderland" in detail. ‎ The story is about a young girl falling down a rabbit hole. When she finally lands, she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters. ‎ The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit, who runs past her and says some strange words. Alice chases（追赶）him, and that is where her adventures begin. ‎ In English, chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and finding yourself in a misleading situation. ‎ Then, as she runs after the rabbit, she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland. ‎ To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a confusing（令人困惑的）situation. However, usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distraction（分神）. It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful. ‎ Later in the story, Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party. Hares（野兔）have long been thought to behave excitedly in March, which is their mating（交配）season. Scientifically, this may not be true. But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is completely mad, or crazy. The expression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy. Of the two, mad as a Hatter is more common. But don't tell the March Hare. Who knows how he will react（反应）！‎ Near the end of the story, Alice meets the Queen of Hearts. A woman who is called a Queen of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to control everything and everyone around her. ‎ ‎12. Which of the following situations best fits the expressions to fall down a rabbit hole？‎ A. When Tom was taking a walk in the forest, he suddenly fell over onto the ground. ‎ B. When Mary turned on the TV, she chose to watch the talk show programme as usual. ‎ C. When Jim was looking for a sport book online, he lost himself in many report on superstars. ‎ D. When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem, she came up with a good idea. ‎ ‎13. According to the passage, the expression to be mad as a March Hare . ‎ A. describes how hares behave in March B. shows hares' characteristics in a scientific way C. is used more often than the expression mad as a Hatter. ‎ D. has the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter ‎14. Which character in"Alice in Wonderland"wants others to obey his or her orders in every situation？‎ A. Alice B. The March Hare ‎ C. The Hatter D. The Queen of Hearts. ‎ ‎15. The writer mainly wants to in the passage. ‎ A. introduce a famous novel and its language style B. introduce a famous writer Lewis Carroll and his novels C. explore some English expressions from a famous navels D. explain why many expressions in English come from novels 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Study abroad Every year, thousands of students choose to study abroad for the summer, six months, a year or longer. Here are some things you need to know before you make such a decision.‎ Why do it?‎ Living in another country will help you learn about the culture of another land. You will see the world in a new way. 16 Many companies today want employees who speak a second language or who have experienced living or working in another country.‎ Making the right choice.‎ To choose the right country or school, ask yourself these questions: 17 Do I want to live with a host family(寄宿家庭), with roommates or alone? How much do I want to pay?‎ ‎ 18 ‎ Get your passport and visa(签证) early! Before you go, learn as much of the language as you can, and read about the customs of your host country. Also, talk with people who have experience studying abroad. Call the school to make sure someone can meet you when you get there.‎ Once you are there.‎ After the first few weeks it’s usual to feel a little homesick(想家的). 19 Just be open to meeting new people and having new experiences.
