This process prevents the virus from mixing with human cells. The scientists say it can remove the effect of the virus and block its spreading.‎ The Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS reports that worldwide, nearly 37 million people were living with HIV in 2017. The organization says the largest number of those are in developing countries. Nearly two-thirds of HIV cases are in Africa. Now there is no cure for HIV/AIDS though there have been developments in oral drug treatments to slow the progression of the disease.‎ The new study predicts the rice-based method will lead to long-term use of the anti-HIV treatment across the developing world. Researchers said the “groundbreaking” discovery is “realistically the only way” that anti-HIV combination treatments can be produced at a cost low enough for the developing world.‎ They say the easiest and most cost-effective way to use the rice will be to make it into a cream to be put on the skin. The HIV-fighting proteins can then enter the body through the skin. People all over the world could grow the rice and make the cream themselves. This would prevent the cost and travel required for many patients to receive treatments and medicine.‎ The process of changing the genetic structure of food crops has been debated for some time. Critics of genetically engineered crops believe they can harm people. The scientific team says further testing is needed to ensure that the genetic engineering process does not produce any additional chemicals that could be dangerous to people.‎ ‎24. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?‎ A. Stress the urgency of HIV treatments.‎ B. Provide some data about HIV.‎ C. Remind readers of HIV prevention.‎ D. Introduce HIV to the public.‎ ‎25. In which way will the rice be used at the lowest cost?‎ A. By transforming it into proteins. B. By adding it to an oral drug.‎ C. By attaching it to the HIV virus. D. By processing it into a cream.‎ ‎26. What can we infer about the genetic engineering process?‎ A. It can prevent infections of HIV. B. It can produce dangerous chemicals.‎ 八县（市/区）一中期末联考 第 05 页 共12页 高一英语试卷 C. It still requires perfecting. D. It applies to the developed world.‎ ‎27. From which is the text probably taken?‎ A. A biology textbook. B. A health magazine.‎ C. A social webpage. D. A first aid brochure.‎ C Cats communicate a variety of messages using cat body language. Examples include arching (弓起) their backs as a signal of fear or attack, and slowly blinking (眨) their eyes to signal relaxation. Mouth open and no teeth showed suggests a feeling of playfulness. A cat which chooses to lie on its back shows happiness, trust and comfort. Cats show dissatisfaction by moving their ears back, equal to a human frown.‎ As is the case with dogs, a twitching (抽动) tail can mean a little anger while a tail held high suggests confidence. Cats will twitch their tails when hunting or angry, while larger twitching suggests displeasure. They may also twitch their tails when playing. A tail held high is a sign of happiness, or can be used as a greeting towards humans or other cats (usually close relatives) while half-raised shows less pleasure, and unhappiness is expressed with a tail held low. ‎ Some characteristic signals, however, are often misunderstood. It is important to keep in mind that each cat may show its feelings with different body language. For instance, a cat rubbing its body along an arm or leg of its owner is not only a way in which to attract attention and, perhaps, a way to ask for food; it is also a way of “marking” its owner as its own. Usually a cat with its tail held high and twitching shows excitement, but this is often mistaken for anger. ‎ Many people fail or are too slow to understand the silent body language of cats. And they may have the false impression that cats are cold-hearted, unfaithful or ‎ not clever. To understand cats, people must observe a cat closely and learn what its body signals tell them.‎ ‎28. Which cat body language shows that a cat is relaxed?‎ A. Lying on its stomach. B. Blinking its eyes slowly.‎ C. Holding its tail high. D. Moving its ears back.‎ ‎29. According to the passage, a cat will twitch its tail EXCEPT ____.‎ A. when it feels sleepy B. when it is hunting C. when it feels angry D. when it is playing ‎30. How many meanings does a cat’s rubbing its body along its owner have?‎ A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.‎ ‎31. The last paragraph intends to tell us ____.‎ A. many people often have wrong opinions on cats B. it is not easy to understand cats’ body language C. every cat has its own special body language D. we should learn more about cats’ body language 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）‎ Understanding special education What will appear in your mind when you think about special education? You might picture children with disabilities spending the day in a different classroom, separated from most of the kids of their age. 32 But as the field of special education has moved forward, it much has changed.‎ Special education today is still focused on helping children with disabilities learn. 33 In fact, federal law requires that students who receive special education services be taught alongside their non-disabled peers as much as possible. For example, some students with reading disorder may spend most of the day in a general education classroom. They may spend just an hour or two in a resource room working with a specialist on reading and other skills.‎ The changes are also reflected in other aspects. 34 It’s tailored(量体裁衣) to meet each student’s needs. Special education refers to a range of services that ‎ can be provided in different ways and in different settings. If your child qualifies for special education, he’ll receive individualized teaching resources. The specialists who work with your child will focus on his strengths as well as his challenges.‎ ‎__35 Making the curriculum accessible to students with disabilities is a lot like making buildings accessible to people in wheelchairs. School districts have a process in place to determine which students are qualified for special education. This process involves a systematic evaluation that looks at the way your child thinks. 36 If the district agrees to evaluate your child, the testing will be conducted at no cost to you.‎ A．“Access” is an important term in education.‎ B．You or your child’s school can request an evaluation.‎ C．This may have been the normal situation in the past.‎ D．There is no “one size fits all” approach to special education.‎ E. To clear the learning barriers is the purpose of special education.‎ F. But this no longer means placing kids in a special classroom all day long.‎ G. The qualification for special education is assessed by local school districts.‎ 第三部分：完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分．满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并标在答题卷的相应位置。‎ The stage lights dimmed, and I took a quick look from behind the heavy black curtains into the 37 .

Early childhood education primarily pays great attention to learning through playing to develop the child's physical, sensory, communicational and social development. Early childhood education has become a concern of the government, who pushes poor children to be formally trained before they are old enough for kindergarten.  There are good reasons for the government to push early childhood education. Studies have shown that orphaned (成为孤儿）children who did not receive good care and education become developmentally delayed causing failure in school, and even in life. Further studies show that poor children who take part in Head Start programs are more prepared for school, with much less possibility of ending up in Special Education classes, receiving public help or going to prison. There are also negative parts to put a child in formal education programs too early. Time Magazine online explains that "the younger the child，the less his chances of catching up with first grade work. " I have personally witnessed (见证）many children of my generation who went to Head Start programs become frustrated and bored with school before they finished high school.  Actually, while early formal education of poor children does show great gains in the early primary years, studies also show that this head start is really a "false start", as the gains are lost in middle and high school years. It seems that environment is a bigger factor on life's success than early education. Head Start programs have not achieved its original goal in closing the achievement gap (差距） in poor and middle school children. Perhaps it is time to find other ways to close that gap.‎ 参考答案 听力（30分）‎ ‎1-5 CCACB 6-10 ABABC 11-15 CABAC 16-20 BABAB 阅读与七选五(32分)‎ A篇： 21．B 22．D 23．A ‎ B篇: 24．A 25．D 26．C 27．B ‎ C篇： 28．B 29．A 30．B 31．D 七选五：32．C 33．F 34．D 35．A 36．B 完形填空（30分）‎ ‎37-41 BACDB 42-46DAABD 47-51CBCAD 52-56 BABCD 语法填空（10分）‎ ‎57.chemicals 58. loss 59. has been cleared/is cleared 60. better 61. resulting 62. and ‎ ‎63. which 64. for 65. protecting/to protect 66. delivered 单词拼写（8分）‎ ‎67. explanations 68.observed 69. representing 70.

On behalf of our school, I'm writing to express our sincere thanks for your amazing speech you delivered on different body languages of different countries last week.‎ From your informative speech，we all know that body language plays an important part in social and international communication and the proper use of body language can make our communication smoother and more effective，especially when it comes to meeting foreign friends who can't speak our language as freely and fluently as we do．But different countries have some different body languages．Therefore, knowing about the differences is of great important in case we make mistakes when communicating with foreigners.‎ Thank you again and best wishes to you．‎ Yours Li Hua．‎ 概要写作（10分）(One possible version)‎ The government value the early childhood education in order to get the children prepared for the kindergarten. There are good reasons for this. For one thing, orphans not receiving good care and education will fail in later life. For another, poor children who participate in Head Start programs will succeed in school. However, not all children can benefit greatly from the early education. Studies show that the head start can’t achieve its goal, so better ways should be found to help the poor children.‎ 部分答案解析 A篇【解析】本文是一篇说明文。介绍整个夏令营的活动流程。‎ ‎21．词义辨析题。根据本文介绍的夏令营的活动并且结合one可以推断出是独一无二的意思。故B选项正确。‎ ‎22．细节理解题。根据“Campers become superheroes to the earth as they learn about the environment and discover how to use their super powers to protect it!”可以推断出是呼吁人们增强环境保护意识。故D选项正确。‎ ‎23．细节推理题。根据“At this unique fairy tale-themed camp, campers have a magical, make-believe adventure through the pages of some of their favorite storybooks.”可知露营者在在这个环节主要是讲故事。故A选项正确。‎ B篇【解析】本文为说明文。文章主要叙述了科学家培育出可预防艾滋病病毒感染的转基因水稻。研究人员表示，这一“突破性”的发现是“现在唯一的”以低成本为发展中国家生产抗艾滋病毒联合治疗的方法，但还有待于进一步的完善。‎ ‎24．推理判断题。由第三段的“nearly 37 million people were living with HIV in 2017.... Now there is no cure for HIV/AIDS though there have been developments in oral drug treatments to slow the progression of the disease” 可知，“2017年全世界有近3700万人感染艾滋病毒。尽管口服药物治疗已经有了进展减缓了疾病的发展，但现在还没有治愈艾滋病毒/艾滋病的方法”。由此可推断出对于艾滋病的治疗迫在眉睫，非常紧迫。分析选项可知A项符合题意， 故选A。‎ ‎25．细节理解题。根据第五段“They say the easiest and most cost-effective way to use the rice will be to make it into a cream to be put on the skin.”可知，最简单、最划算的使用方法是将大米制成面霜涂在皮肤上。“the most cost-effective”与“the lowest cost”是同义词，“make it into a cream”与“process it into a cream”是同义的。故选D。‎ ‎26．推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“The scientific team says further testing is needed to ensure that the genetic engineering process does not produce any additional chemicals that could be dangerous to people.”可知，科学研究小组认为要进一步的测试，以确保基因工程过程不会产生任何可能对人类有害的额外化学物质。由此可推断这种基因工程的过程还需要进一步的完善。分析选项可知C符合题意，故选C。‎ ‎27．推理判断题。文章主要叙述了根据最近的一项研究，一种新的转基因水稻可以预防艾滋病病毒的感染。因此与人类的健康有关，所以本文可能是出现在健康杂志上，故选B。‎ C篇【解析】‎ ‎28. B。细节理解题。根据第一段“... slowly blinking their eyes to signal relaxation.”可知缓慢地眨眼睛表明猫很放松。文中提到猫在躺着时表明它很开心和舒服，但未提到它趴着时表明什么，故排除A项；根据第二段“A tail held high is a sign of happiness, or can be used as a greeting ...”可知C项错误；根据第一段“Cats ‎ show dissatisfaction by moving their ears back, equal to a human frown.”可知D项不正确。‎ ‎29.

I forgot to look at the clock before I came out.‎ M: I’m afraid I forgot to put on my watch. But wait, I’ll look at my phone. It’s 12:30 p.m.‎ Text 2 ‎ M: You play better than I did when I played the drums, and better than mom did on the piano.‎ W: Thanks. Maybe it’s because the guitar is an easier instrument to learn.‎ Text 3 ‎ W: Do you have your door key? I left mine in my office.‎ M: There’s usually one in my inside pocket but I can’t find it. I’ll have to go back to the car. There’s a spare one there.‎ Text 4 ‎ W: Why are you smiling?‎ M: Because I came top of the class in English. That means 29 people are worse than me.‎ W: Wow. I only managed to come 20th in my class.‎ Text 5 ‎ W: Kevin, can you show me how to use this coffee maker? I need to make some for the meeting.‎ M: Actually, I don’t know how to use it. But you can find a YouTube video that will show you.‎ Text 6 ‎ W: I don’t know what to do with my hair. I might have it cut short.‎ M: It is long, but I don’t think you look good with short hair.‎ W: But it’s no good like this. Long red hair just doesn’t look right.‎ M: Then go back to your natural color, because it didn’t look right when you had it black, too.‎ W: Yes, maybe it is time to be my natural brown again.‎ M: And medium-length. It would suit you. I always preferred that length.‎ W: OK, that is how I will have it.‎ Text 7‎ W: Excuse me, sir. Are you picking the flowers? ‎ M: Yes, I’ve picked a few daisies. I thought they were just growing wild on the side of the path. Did I do something wrong? ‎ W: Well, they were actually planted by park volunteers. Picking flowers is not allowed here.‎ M: Oh! I didn’t know that. My sister and I just wanted to take some pretty flowers to my sick mother. She’s been feeling very sad lately. I promise I won’t do it again. ‎ W: I should make you pay a fine, because that’s the rule. But, I won’t. I hope your mother enjoys them.‎ M: Thank you very much!‎ Text 8 ‎ M: Look at this old picture I found. Do you recognize these people?‎ W: Is that you in the middle? You look very young, Dad.‎ M: Yes, and that is your mom on the right. Grandmother is there but grandfather is nowhere to be seen.‎ W: Where was it taken? In the park? It looks nice.‎ M: No, my friend Sam took it in the garden. There were so many trees. It was like a forest.‎ W: So how old were you when this picture was taken?‎ M: Hmm, let’s think. I met your mom when I was 18. We were married when I was 24. This was taken one year before we were married.‎ W: It is so strange to see you and mom looking so young.‎ M: I hope we don’t look too old now.‎ Text 9 ‎ W: The children have gone to university. I miss them.‎ M: The house seems much tidier — but I know what you mean. It’s very quiet.‎ W: Yes, they are both quite noisy. But four years is a long time to be without them.‎ M: It could have been worse. If they had gone to study somewhere like London or New York, we would hardly see them.‎ W: Yeah, they were lucky to both be accepted by the same university in Singapore. ‎ M: I wonder if they’ll argue with each other as much now that they are studying together.‎ W: Maybe they’ll relax as they get older. They have too much energy.‎ M: I miss their laughter.‎ W: Me, too. But I won’t miss their awful music or their noisy friends.‎ M: Me neither. I hope they find some new friends at university.‎ W: I’m sure they will — and their eyes will be opened to the big world outside.‎ M: That is an education in itself.‎ Text 10 ‎ W: Twenty years ago, my father left home to travel around the world. He went to China, Japan and Russia. He traveled for two years and then returned home. I have only ever been to one other country before. That is Canada. Now that I am old enough, I decided to travel too! I am going to start in Mexico, and then go to all the places he visited; like the big snowy mountains in Japan! I always want to go to Mexico, because they have a really famous festival there. I think I am most excited to go to China, because I heard that the food was amazing. My father always told me the most amazing stories about other countries. He would show me the writing he did while traveling. I am not a good writer, so I may not be able to describe every beautiful moment I’m going to have. But I just bought a camera and I hope to take as many pictures as I can when I travel in other countries!‎
