Belscher noticed it on the floor as he sat at the back of his English class. When the school day ended, Belscher wandered back to the classroom. The old bill was still there. He could easily have pocketed it without thinking twice. Instead, he picked it up and brought it to his English teacher, Mattison.‎ ‎“It wasn’t my money,” Belscher says. Mattison was a little surprised he’d turned the dollar in, knowing a lot of people would have just kept it. She suggested that Belscher tape(贴) it to the whiteboard at the front of the classroom, where she always puts lost things. ‎ Rose, another student, was in English class after break when he spotted the dollar on the whiteboard. After class, he asked Mattison why it was there. She was still waiting for the original owner to claim it, so she replied, “I don’t know.” Rose took the tape from Mattison’s desk and taped a second dollar to the board.‎ That got it rolling. The sight of the two dollar bills, side by side, started something in Mattison’s students. They started asking about the purpose of the money, to which Mattison always gave the same answer: She didn’t know. At that point, it was true.‎ More students, curious, taped up single dollar bills. Mattison started to leave the tape on the tray of the whiteboard. The effort snowballed. Even with no clear purpose, many students wanted to be part of whatever this was. The amount continued to grow over several weeks, until it reached $175.76. ‎ That left Mattison to make the best decision. She kept thinking about her brother-in-law, Jack Hains. Eight years earlier, Jack had died of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a rare and devastating neurological disease(神经疾病). ‎ Mattison explained to her classes that Jack had raised money every spring for the ALS Therapy Development Institute, established to seek a cure for the disease. She asked the teens whether they minded if she donated the dollars in their names in honor of Jack.‎ Their answer was to tape enough money to the whiteboard over the next few days to push the amount to $321.06. Mattison, choking back tears as she recalls the moment, says she carefully picked the cash off the board and made the donation just before the beginning of May, which is National ALS Awareness Month. That was Saturday. By Monday afternoon, eight more dollars had been taped to the board.‎ 21. When Belscher first found a dollar bill, .‎ A. he returned it to its owner ‎ B. he donated it to the school ‎ C. he handed it in to the teacher D. he picked it up and pocketed it 22. What happened after Rose taped a second dollar on the whiteboard?‎ A. The money was stolen by someone.‎ B. More and more students did the same.‎ C. The whiteboard was no longer used for class.‎ D. The teacher asked the students to find the owner.‎ 23. The teacher decided to donate the money to ALS institute because .‎ A. Jack had asked her to do so.‎ B. she had been cured of the disease before.‎ C. the students had no idea of the deadly disease. ‎ D. she wanted to help those who suffered from ALS.‎ 24. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. The students supported the teacher’s donation.‎ B. Only eight dollars were left on the whiteboard.‎ C. The teacher returned all the money to the students.‎ D. There would be no more money to be taped to the board.‎ B You probably know the basics of how comparatives(比较级) and superlatives(最高级) work in the English language. When comparing something, you often add an “-er” to the end of the comparative adjective. The general rule is that one-syllable(音节) words get the suffix(后缀), and polysyllabic words get “more” or “most.” That is, unless the two-syllable word ends in a “y”; if ‎ that’s the case, you will add the suffixes and change the “y” to an “i”. ‎ But what about the word “fun”? This simple adjective only has one syllable, so you’d think you’d add suffixes on it to create superlatives. But if you were to say “I think Magic‎ ‎Kingdom is a funner park than Epcot.” or “Disney World was the funnest vacation ever!” you might get some strange looks. It doesn’t sound quite right. But…why? “Fun” is one syllable, so why do we choose “more fun” as the comparative—especially considering that the similar word “funny,” which has more syllables than “fun,” uses the suffixes with no problem?‎ Well, the problem comes from the fact that the word “fun” was not originally an adjective. Until the early 19th century, it was mostly just a noun, and it gained its meaning as “amusement” in the 18th century. But as early as the 1800s, people began using it as an adjective, the way we’d describe “a fun time” or “a fun place” today.‎ Basically, language is still developing. Grammarians have mostly come around to the use of “fun” as an adjective (though some dictionaries still call it informal). There was (and remains) an agreement of “Fine, you can use ‘fun’ as an adjective…but, like, it’s not really one, so it can’t follow the rules of real adjectives.” So they also agree that the answer to “is funner a word?” is yes. If you want to consider “fun,” as an adjective, then “funner” is indeed a word, as is “funnest”. But this doesn’t mean that “more fun” and “most fun” are incorrect, though; in fact, in formal writing, you’ll probably still want to use those instead of “funner” and “funnest.”‎ The English language is chock-full of uncertain grammar rules; there’s no need to insist that a word breaks the common rules of language just because we didn’t used to use it in a way we do now.‎ 21. How do comparatives and superlatives work in the English language?‎ A. Put “more” or “most” before one-syllable adjectives.‎ B. Add “-er” or “-est” to most polysyllabic adjectives.‎ C. Put “more” or “most” before polysyllabic adjectives.‎ D. Add “-er” or “-est” straight to two-syllable words ending in a “y”. ‎ 22. People didn’t used to use “funner” or “funnest” partly because .‎ A. it sounded strange to grammarians B. the English language changed a little C. the word was originally used as a noun D. some dictionaries considered it incorrect 21. What can be the best title of the passage? ‎ A. Is “funner” a word?‎ B. A general rule of English grammar.‎ C. The development of English language.‎ D. The comparatives and superlatives of adjectives.‎ C The love story between John F. Kennedy and his wife, Jackie, was far from perfect and was tragically cut short in 1963 by a sniper’s(狙击手) bullet.‎ On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was seated beside his smartly dressed wife, who was wearing a pink Chanel-like suit and matching pillbox hat and holding an armful of red roses that had been presented to her by fans. They were seated in the back seat of a dark blue 1961 Lincoln with John Connally, the Governor of Texas and his wife, Nellie. ‎ And then came the dark moment. As the motorcade(车队) passed the Texas School Book Depository on Elm Street, a loud noise—like the sound of a firecracker—cracked the air. President Kennedy slumped(耷拉) forward, Jackie putting her arms around him. ‎ The look on her husband’s face after he was shot would haunt Jackie for the rest of her life. The last words she ever got to say to him were, “I love you, Jack. I love you,” according to Anderson, although Jackie herself recalled it slightly differently in a 1963 interview. All the way to Parkland Hospital, where President Kennedy would eventually be pronounced dead, as she recalled it, she was bent over him, asking “Jack, Jack, can you hear me? I love you.”‎ Jack Kennedy’s final words to his wife of 10 years were far more mundane, of course. He had no way of knowing what was about to happen. It’s been reported that Jack’s final words were, “My God, I’ve been hit,” but physicians have said this was impossible given Jack’s injuries. Well, historians have now clarified that the last words Jack spoke before the fatal shot were, “No, you certainly can’t.”‎ No, you certainly can’t?‎ He was making small talk in the car. “You certainly can’t say that the people of Dallas haven’t given you a nice welcome,” the Texas Governor’s wife had just remarked to Jack, referring to the huge, adoring crowd. “No, you certainly can’t,” Jack replied, milliseconds before the bullet from Lee Harvey Oswald gun struck. ‎ John F. Kennedy never spoke another word after that fateful day, but many things he said during his lifetime are incredibly inspiring. ‎ ‎28. When the gunshot incident happened, .‎ ‎ A. it suddenly went into darkness ‎ B. Kennedy was giving a speech to his fans ‎ C. the motorcade was on the way to ‎Parkland‎ ‎Hospital ‎ D. Kennedy and his wife were seated next to each other ‎29. The underlined word “mundane” in paragraph 5 probably means .‎ ‎ A. unforgettable B. ordinary C. excellent D. humorous ‎30. What does the passage mainly talk about?‎ ‎ A. The people’s love for Kennedy.‎ B. The love story of Kennedy and his wife.‎ ‎ C. The final words before Kennedy was murdered.‎ ‎ D. The inspiring speeches during Kennedy’s lifetime.‎ 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。  ‎ Tips for healthy travel with children Children make up a small but important group of travellers. Their smaller bodies and developing immune(免疫) systems make their travel health needs important. 31 . ‎ Vaccines(疫苗) for children In general, there is a higher risk for most vaccine-preventable diseases when travelling abroad. 32 . If you are planning to travel, check whether your child’s normal vaccine schedule needs to be changed to make sure that they are fully protected before travelling.‎ Malaria(疟疾) and children ‎ 33 . Children are particularly at risk of developing severe malaria. If you must travel with children to a malaria risk area, visit a doctor to determine if anti-malarial medication is recommended. If anti-malarial medication is allowed to take, keep them in child-proof containers and out of reach of children.‎ Transportation risks Air travel is safe for healthy children. 34 . Some airlines will not allow newborns to fly. Ear pain caused by changes in pressure during landing is more common in children than in adults. To lessen the pain, babies should bottle or breast feed. Older children can chew gum or be encouraged to swallow or yawn.‎ ‎ 35 ‎ Signs and symptoms(症状) of altitude sickness in children are often mistaken for other illnesses. A child with altitude sickness may throw up, hate to eat, or be anxious. Older children may also show headaches, or difficulty breathing. As it is difficult to tell if a child is developing altitude sickness and since altitude sickness can develop rapidly in children, you may travel to no higher than ‎2,500 m (8,200 feet).‎ A. High altitude sickness B. Pack a travel health kit C. Avoid taking children to areas with a risk of malaria D. And these diseases tend to be more severe (严重的) in children than in adults E. There are many facts to take into consideration when travelling with children F. It may be difficult to give children anti-malaria medication because it tastes unpleasant G. However, it is necessary that you wait until newborns are one to two weeks old before flying 第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节, 满分45分) ‎ 第一节 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, 选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I was five foot ten and weighed between 340 and 360 pounds; the exact number depended on whether you took my weight before or after one of my big meals. I knew that I needed to 36 .‎ ‎“At every 37 , just make sure that at least half your plate is full of fruits and 38 .” And my doctor suggested I start with 20 minutes of easy exercise twice a day. “Something you can enjoy, like taking a walk. And I suggest that you go to ‎39 a dog.”‎ ‎“A dog is a good partner,” she said. “Plus, you live in an apartment, which means the dog has to be walked. So you walk your dog twice a day, and that will be your 40 .”‎ ‎“I’ve never owned a dog. What about a cat?” I asked.‎ ‎“Have you ever seen anyone ‎41 a cat?”‎ My friend Casaundra said she had the 42 dog for me. There he was: a large black-and-white dog with a big round body. He looked up at me and then 43 his head with a clear look of 44 . Like, Really? This loser? I suppose I looked at him the same way.‎ I named him Peety, and we took it 45 , just as my doctor had suggested. Peety weighed 75 pounds when a healthy 46 for him was more like 50 pounds. But on our first walk together, Peety took the lead. We made it halfway down the 47 and then came back. Luckily for me, he didn’t walk very fast. You could 48 hear my footsteps on the sidewalk as I 49 each leg forward—thump, thump, thump, like the giant from “Jack and the Bean Stalk.” The next day we made it to the 50 of the block. Soon he would 51 me around the block.‎ Over the next weeks, Peety kept 52 harder and harder on the leash(束缚). There were times when I couldn’t 53 , even though I’d dropped five pounds a week 54 I started the plant-based eating and walking. ‎ We walked together for nearly five years, until Peety died of cancer. He’d come into my life, and simply by being here, he 55 me.

And there is one thing you should have around at all times: a plastic water bottle. Why? When the weather 57 (take) a turn for the worse, a water bottle is one of the most useful things 58 you have in your home. It might even save your life. Severe flooding caused by a hurricane can make the local drinking water dirty with some 59 (danger) substances. 60 (avoid) a serious illness, it’s best to store plenty of bottled water to drink safely.‎ That’s pretty obvious, of course. But keep those empty plastic bottles around after you drink, too, 61 they have lots of uncommon uses. For example, 62 empty water bottle can turn into a water filter(滤水器) if you need to drink from the tap. If your lights go 63 , don’t go the old-fashioned way with candles; you can rely on your handy plastic water bottles once again. Simply tape a small flashlight to the bottom of the bottle, and 64 (it) plastic (and the water inside) will amplify the glow(增强光亮). Then the little light can 65 (use) to light up a room or send signals to rescue personnel.‎ 第四部分  写作 (共两节, 满分40分) ‎ 第一节 书面表达(满分15分)‎ 假定你是李华,是某中学高一的新生。请你给外国笔友Steven写封信。介绍你现在各方面的情况。‎ 信中包括以下内容:1.学校环境;2.师生相处;3.高中生活。‎ 注意:1.词数80左右;2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。‎ Dear Steven,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ Yours,‎ ‎ Li Hua 第二节 概要写作(共1题;满分25分) ‎ 阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。‎ Why do earthquakes happen? Scientists believe that the surface of the earth is covered by a number of moving plates. Sometimes two plates move towards and push against each other. Sometimes they stop for years but at other times they jump and an earthquake is felt. Because of the movements of these plates, California, China and Japan have a lot of earthquakes. You can see the result in San Francisco where the Pacific plate meets the North American plate. When the 1906 earthquake happened, the Pacific plate jumped 5 to 6 metres to the north.‎ China‎ is a country where many earthquakes happen. The Pacific plate is pushing China from the east and the Indian plate is pushing China from the southwest. The power of this movement created the Himalayas and Mount‎ ‎Qomolongma. It now causes earthquakes in China. We cannot stop earthquakes but we can do things to make sure they do not destroy whole cities. First it is not a good idea to build houses along the line where two plates meet. Second, if you think there may be an earthquake, make sure to build houses on rock rather than sand. Third, you must make the houses as strong as possible. Weak buildings will fall down in an earthquake, but strong ones may stay up.‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ 荆州中学2019-2020学年上学期期中考试 高一年级 英语试题答案 听力(共两节, 每题1.5分,满分30分)‎ ‎1-5 BCBCC 6—10 CACBA 11-15 BABAC 16-20 AACBA 阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)‎ 第一节 (每题2.5分,满分25分)‎ ‎21-24 CBDA 25-27 CCA 28-30 DBC 第二节( 每题2分,满分10分) ‎ ‎31-35 EDCGA 完形填空  (每题1.5分,满分30分) ‎ ‎36-40 BCCAD 41-45 DCBAB 46-50 CDAAB 51-55 DABCD 语法填空 (每题1.5分,满分15分)‎ ‎56. preparation 57. takes 58. that 59. dangerous 60.

I’m writing to tell you my lifestyle in the new school.‎ Our school is very beautiful with a big playground. There are green trees and all kinds of sweet flowers all the year round. The teachers are very strict with us in study, but after class, they are friendly and care about us very much. My new classmates are all very excellent and always work very hard. They help me a lot with my lessons as well as many things in my daily life and we get along quite well with each other.‎ Though the school life is stressful, I am full of confidence. I think with the help of the teachers, I will make great progress.‎ 第二节:概要写作(满分25分)‎ ‎ Earthquakes happen when two moving plates jump and push against each other. Thus, in areas, like California, China and Japan, where different plates meet, earthquakes happen a lot. To protect our cities from this deadly power, we’d better build houses in the regions with few earthquakes or on ‎ more solid bases if necessary, making them strong enough to survive earthquakes.‎
