辽宁省六校2019-2020学年高一下学期期中考试英语试卷

www.ks5u.com 英语 本试卷分为选择题和非选择题两部分，总分150分，考试用时100分钟。‎ 选择题部分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分）略 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）‎ 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。‎ A The London Underground (The Tube)‎ ‎ The main source of public transport in London revolves around the Underground (or the Tube as it is known to Londoners). This network of 12 lines can get you to most places in the center of the city quickly. ‎ ‎ It’s almost necessary to get an Oyster Card or a Travelcard. Single tickets are priced starting at the intentionally absurd price of £4.80 (Zone1-3), if you pay cash. Using an Oyster Card, a single fare is £2.30 if you are traveling within the central Zone 1. ‎ ‎ On hot days it is also advisable to take a bottle of water with you as Underground trains are not air-conditioned. ‎ ‎ Last trains leave central London at around 00:30 weekdays, 23:30 Sundays. First trains leave the suburbs at around 5:00. ‎ The Bus System ‎ Outside the center of London, Tube Stations are farther apart, so buses help fill the gaps. Also, the bus offers a cheaper alternative, even if it is a slower journey. ‎ ‎ Cash fares for London buses have been abolished — you cannot pay cash. A bus fare costs £1.50 if people only use buses, and the fare is capped at £4.40 per day for Oyster or contactless card users. ‎ Light Rail and Trains ‎ You can think of the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) and the Tramlink as extensions of the Underground, Travelcards purchased at Tube Stations in East London. The DLR connects with a number of the other train services (including connections at Tower Hill or Bank Stations) and can be used to reach Greenwich, Canary Wharf, and Stratford. ‎ River Services ‎ There are a number of different routes along the River Thames. The faster commuter services operate all day from Greenwich Pier to Embankment and from Putney and Chelsea harbour to Blackfriars during Peak Hours only. These routes will pass a number of places of interest including the Houses of Parliament and London‎ ‎Bridge. A return fare from Putney to Blackfriars will cost about 12 pounds. ‎ National Rail ‎ Once you leave Central London or if you are traveling South of the River Thames, the best public transport option will often be National Rail. There are numerous ‎ connections to the Rail System from the Tube. Travelcards can be used for travel on the National Rail (but not the Heathrow Express). Oyster cards can be used up to Zone 6 except certain services including Heathrow Express, Heathrow Connect and HS1. ‎ 21. When taking the London Underground, you _______. ‎ ‎ A. can save more money with a single ticket ‎ B. are advised to take a bottle of water along on hot days ‎ C. can go to any place in London quickly ‎ D. should buy tickets with cash 22. If you use river services along the River Thames, you will pass _______. ‎ ‎ A.Tower Hill B.Canary Wharf C. Stratford D. London Bridge 23. To travel South of the River Thames, it is recommended that you use _______. ‎ ‎ A. the Bus System B.the London Underground ‎ C. National Rail D.the DLR and the Tramlink ‎ ‎ ‎ B Nowadays, many parents are so busy that they seldom have family meals with their children. But this is wrong.‎ A Harvard study found that families that eat together are twice as likely to eat their five servings of fruits and vegetables a day as families who don't eat together. Families also eat less fried food when they eat together. Finally, children who regularly eat with family have diets higher in fiber, calcium, iron, and vitamins B6, B12, C and E.‎ During family meals, parents can set a good example of healthy eating that children may follow. They also display polite table manners. Family meals teach children important skills.‎ When a family eats together, kids can learn about nutrition and healthy eating. In many studies of schoolaged children, those who eat family meals have a higher level of nutrition knowledge.‎ When a family eats together, kids learn about food safety, like hand washing before eating.‎ Children who have company at meals are slimmer than those who eat alone. That's because they eat less, eat more slowly, and talk more. This is a good way to deter obesity in children.‎ Family meals can help children build vocabulary. Studies showed kids who ate with their families performed better at school and had a broader vocabulary. Family meals offer an opportunity for conversations where kids learn vocabulary—building words to help them read and communicate better.‎ Children gain a better sense of belonging within the family when they eat together with their parents at home. Family meals offer a time for a family to come together as a group and develop a feeling of belonging. That sense of belonging leads to better selfesteem.‎ In conclusion, family meals are very important.‎ 24. The writer wants to tell us that . .‎ A．eating together with family is a good chance to teach children B．it's more advantageous for children to eat with their families ‎ C．it's desirable for children to eat more regularly D．enjoying family meals is equal to eating a big and delicious dinner ‎25．Which of the following statements is NOT true?‎ A．Having a company meal is easy to become fatter and fatter.‎ B．In the mealtime, parents should set a good example of healthy eating.‎ C．Family meals can help children with a higher level of nutrition knowledge.‎ D．Family meals can make children form the good habit of eating.‎ ‎26．What does the underlined word “deter” in Paragraph 6 mean?‎ A．Find. B．Replace. C．Prevent D．Improve.‎ ‎27．What is the passage mainly about?‎ A．Why family is important to kids. B．How to eat in a healthy way.‎ C．How to raise children well. D．Why family meals are important. ‎ C A storm hit Houston, Texas, on Tuesday. It brought heavy rains and rising flood-waters. By Tuesday night, some parts of the city had received 10 inches of rain. Police and firefighters helped people move to safe places. They also saved people from cars and buses that were stuck on roads.‎ Certain areas around Houston were hit really hard. In just four hours, more than seven inches of rain fell in Sugar Land in the southwest of Houston. Cars could not pass through any of the areas main roadways. On Twitter, Sugar Land city officials asked people to get to high ground.‎ Tuesday’s rain hit parts of Texas that Hurricane Harvey had already damaged almost two years ago. Hurricane Harvey in August, 2017 was the second most costly hurricane in US history. It caused $125 billion worth of damage in Texas. In the Houston area, 36 people died and about 150, 000 homes were flooded.‎ A spokesman for the Harris County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management spoke with the Houston Chronicle. The spokesman said that this week’s rain is “not in any way a Harvey-level event.”‎ But the worst may not be over yet. People will have a break from the heavy rain on Wednesday. According to the National Weather Service, the Texas Gulf Coast will continue to experience heavy rain later in the week. "Today should be our quietest over the next few days for rainfall,” said Don Oettinger, a National Weather Service meteorologist (气象学家).‎ Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peia warned, “As there is too much water on the ground, these are perfect conditions for flash floods, so we hope people are careful of what they’re doing and encourage them to stay home. There’s no sense in putting yourself, firefighters or anybody in danger needlessly.”‎ 28. What are Paragraphs 1 and 2 mainly about?‎ A. Heavy floods hitting Houston. B. People fighting floods in Houston.‎ C. Flood damage in Houston. D. Flood prevention in Houston.‎ 29. What do we know about Hurricane Harvey?‎ A. It caused no deaths or injuries. ‎ B. It was less serious than this week’s rain.‎ C. It was the biggest hurricane on record.‎ D. It did a lot of damage to Texas.‎ 28. What can we learn from the weather report of the National Weather Service?‎ A. It will rain a little non-stop. B. A hurricane is unavoidable.‎ C. Floods will continue. D. Fine days are coming.‎ 29. What did Samuel suggest local people do?‎ A. Give up needless things. B. Stay indoors.‎ C. Comfort those who lost homes. D. Join firefighters.‎ D Most of the new diseases we humans have faced in the past several decades have come from animals. The more we come into contact with wild animals, the more we risk a so-called disease “spillover” from animals to humans.‎ ‎“As people move and wildlife move in response to a changing environment, humans and wildlife and animals will come in contact more regularly,” said Jeanne Fair from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Fair argues that by shifting animal habitats, climate change will also make the opportunities for disease spillover more frequent. “Everything is sort of shifting and will shift into the future as the environment changes through climate change,” Fair said.‎ Scientists, including climatologists and epidemiologists on Fair’s team at Los Alamos, are beginning to model how changes to the climate will impact the spread of infectious diseases. It’s early days for this kind of research, but previous studies suggest that extreme weather has already played a role in at least one outbreak. Scientists say drought and deforestation have combined to force bats out of rainforests and into orchards（果园）in Malaysia to find food. Those bats, a common disease reservoir, then passed the Nipah virus through pigs to humans for the first time in the late 1990s.‎ ‎“We’re going by the past data to really predict what’s going to happen in the future,” Fair said, “And so, anytime you increase that wildlife-human interface(交界面), that’s sort of an emerging disease hot spot. And so, that’s just increasing as we go forward.”‎ Jeffrey Shaman, head of the climate and health program at Columbia University’s public health school, argues we don’t yet know whether climate change will cause a net increase（净增长）in infectious disease rates globally. For example, mosquitoes carry disease that affects millions of people across the world every year. As their habitats expand in some parts of the world, they might contract diseases elsewhere. Shaman says what we know for certain about climate change is that it will make it harder to predict where disease outbreaks will pop up.‎ 30. How does climate change affect the spread of disease according to Fair?‎ A. By changing animals’ living environment.‎ B. By promoting animals’ breeding.‎ C. By breaking animals’ habits.‎ D. By increasing animals’ varieties.‎ 31. What is the example of bats for in paragraph 3?‎ A. Showing the effects of climate change on disease.‎ B. Explaining the influence of Nipah virus.‎ C. Presenting scientists’ early study about the cause of disease.‎ D. Proving the harm of bats to human beings.‎ 28. What can we infer from Fair’s words in paragraph 4?‎ A. Humans should give up studying animals.‎ B. Frequent contact with animals can cause disease outbreaks.‎ C. Past data can solve the problems in the future.‎ D. Disease hot spots will disappear if animals die out.‎ 29. What could be the best title for the text?‎ A. Early Studies about Extreme Weather B. Animals’ Interaction with Humans C. Climate Change and Disease Spillover D. Scientists’ Prediction for Disease Outbreaks 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后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。‎ Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction. When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects parts of our brain that make us feel good. ‎36 In this way, it is in fact an addictive drug, one that doctors recommend we all cut down on.‎ ‎“It seems like every time I study an illness and trace a path to the first cause, I find my way back to sugar,” says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 347 million have diabetes. Why? “ ‎37 ”‎ says Johnson.‎ Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very efficient in storing sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy stored for when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. 38 ‎ So what is the solution? It’s obvious that we need to eat less sugar. 39 From breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it. Some manufacturers even use sugar to replace taste in foods that are advertised as low in fat.‎ But there are those who are fighting back against sugar. 40 Other schools are growing their own food in gardens, or building facilities like walking tracks so students and others in the community can exercise. The battle has not yet been lost.‎ A. We take in more energy and fat. ‎ B. Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier options like fruit.‎ C. The trouble is, in today's world, it's extremely difficult to avoid.‎ D. Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more.‎ E. Our ancestors were used to poor food, clothing and shelter. ‎ F. Sugar, we believe, is one of the reasons, if not the major one. ‎ G. So the very thing that once saved us, may now be killing us.‎ 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。‎ Ask people to name the world's tallest peak and anybody with sound general knowledge will name Mount Qomolangma.

She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn't help weeping（哭泣）‎ ‎ sorrowfully（悲伤地） when she thought of the scolding（责骂） from her mother. Having wandered（游荡） aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand（货摊） for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh（叹气） and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes, but I don't have money on me,” she replied.‎ ‎“That's nothing. I'll treat you today,” said the man. “Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing. Actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped（擦拭） her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless（无情的） compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude（感激） to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb（麻木的） with shock; she remembered her mother's familiar face and weathered （变形）hands. “Why didn't I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted（感激的）. Why haven't I thanked my mum for what she has done for me?” On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.‎ 注意：‎ 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150词左右；‎ 2. 应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；‎ 3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；‎ 4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1:‎ Approaching the doorway，Jenny took a deep breath. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 1:‎ A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. ‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ 英语试题(答案) ‎ 阅读理解：21—23 BDC 24---27 BACD 28---31 ADCB 32---35 AABC 七选五：36---40 DFGCB 完形填空: 41---45 CBACA 46---50 DDBAC 51---55 BBCDA 语法填空：‎ ‎56.thinking 57.that 58.events 59.negatively 60.Was ‎ ‎61.from 62. a 63.what 64.philosopher 65.himself 应用文：‎ Dear Tom,‎ I am sorry to hear that you feel lonely in your new school.

Last, communicate with your classmates actively, and let them know more about you.‎ May you make new friends soon./ Wish to hear your good news soon.‎ Yours，‎ Li Hua 读后续写: ‎ One possible version： ‎ Paragraph 1:‎ Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. Tired and sad, she sat down in front of the house. “Where might my mother be?” she wondered. “Is she really so angry with me that she doesn't want to show any care for me?” Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother, and she just realized that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her. Tears rolled down her cheeks.‎ Paragraph 2:‎ A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She raised her head to see the familiar face and the worried eyes. “Here you come! I've been looking for you,” came the tired voice. Jenny couldn't help but throw herself into her mother's arms. “I'm sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.” She expressed the sincere apology and the great gratitude. Then she felt the hug tightened.‎
