天水一中2017级2018-2019学年度第一学期寒假作业考试试题 ‎（英语）‎ 一、阅读理解 A In Chinese customs, red is the main color for weddings. It is used in different ways as it signifies love, joy and happiness. The bride’s wedding gown（女礼服）is often red, the wedding invitations, gift boxes and envelopes are red and the bride and the groom’s homes are decorated in red on the wedding day.‎ Before the wedding, the married couples from the groom’s family visit the bride’s place with gifts in red baskets and boxes. One of those baskets has milk honey. Three days before the wedding, the women from the bride’s family bring return-gifts to the groom’s family.‎ On the wedding day, the groom arrives at the bride’s place on his way to the chapel（佛堂）. The groom has to give gifts in cash wrapped in red paper to the bride’s friends for letting her go. The bride and the groom then leave for the chapel together.‎ The wedding ceremony is attended only by the couple’s immediate relatives. Just after the wedding ceremony, the bride serves tea to her parents in-laws as a tradition. The couples will then go to get wedding pictures. Then a reception（宴会）will follow.‎ In the reception, a welcome speech is followed by a cake cutting ceremony. A Chinese wedding cake has many layers（层）, and each one represents a step to success for the newly married couples. So couples cut the cake from the bottom Travour.com describes and provides information on the wedding traditions of the Chinese and around the world.

But what if you're a student and don't have enough ‎ money for a trip? Don't worry. Here are some useful suggestions.‎ ‎●Save: This probably is the most important preparation for travelling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you'll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.‎ ‎●Plan ahead: Don't wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security(安全) and savings.‎ ‎●Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.‎ ‎●Plan sensibly: Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.‎ ‎●Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By travelling with others you can share costs and experiences.‎ ‎●Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit.‎ ‎●Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a lesser－known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights.‎ ‎●Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes: Remember medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.‎ ‎●Use the Internet: The Net can help to save money.

The author of the passage advises you ________.‎ A. to go to lesser－known area B. not to visit dangerous places C. to share costs with any other people D. to buy anything you want to buy C Teaching Poetry No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.‎ All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.‎ I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important ‎ than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life”, and “a heightening of lief”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.‎ I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to communicate this to anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few thins about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.‎ ‎8.To have a better understanding of a poem, one should ______.‎ A. analyze it by oneself B. discuss it with others C. practise reading it aloud D. copy it down in a notebook ‎9. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry?‎ A. Extending your life B. Saving your life C. Criticizing life D. Heightening life ‎10. The last sentence in the third paragraph imply ______.‎ A. The teaching of poetry is more important than any other subject.‎ B. More importance should be given to the teaching of poetry.‎ C. Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.‎ D. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.‎ ‎11. The underlined phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by______.‎ A. provide equipment B. build a school C. set up a house D. leave a certain amount of time D Vinegar makes salad,fries and dumplings taste better, and you can even use it to clean your windows. And now, according to scientists, it may even the planet’s population survive climate change.‎ Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan found that growing plants in vinegar makes them more resistant to droughts. This could mean that in the future, worries about climate change affecting the world’s supply of food will be much lower. The discovery was made after the researchers studied the Arabidopsis, a plant known for its ability to survive in dry weather. It was found that when the plant was placed in drought-like conditions, it produced a chemical called acetate（醋酸盐）—the main component of vinegar.‎ After discovering this, the scientists experimented further by adding acetate to the soil of other plants, before they stopped giving them water completely. After leaving the plants for 14 days, they found that the ones treated with acetate had survived, while the untreated plants had dried up and died.‎ It’s hoped that this simple method of survival could soon be used to help farmers in dry countries keep their crops alive. "In the experiment, we targeted the staple foods of the world—rice, wheat and maize—and the basic plant of breeding species, rapeseed（油菜籽）," Jong Myong Kim, co-author of the study, told Popular Science magazine.‎ Kim also told the magazine he’s already been in touch with people all over the world who are interested in trying this simple and cost-effective method out for themselves from flower growing companies to amateur gardeners. Although at this point keeping thirsty plants alive isn’t as easy as ‎ just pouring vinegar over them, Kim said he and his team are working on making the process as simple as possible. "Now we are trying to cooperate with some farmers, and also some companies, to make a method to apply this system, "he said. And for those of us who always forget to ask our neighbors to water our plants when we go away, hopefully this means the end of returning home from a trip to find our favorite flowers have died.‎ 12. What is the article mainly about? .‎ A. The world’s food supply will be increased. B. Plants better survive droughts.‎ C. The Arabidopsis is resistant to droughts. D. Vinegar could be used to fight droughts.‎ ‎13. It was discovered that acetate can .‎ A. be used by farmers to replace soil B. only be produced by the Arabidopsis C. help plants survive dry conditions D. be used to improve poor soil ‎14. What are the target plants of the experiment?‎ A. all breeding species. B. wheat and Arabidopisis.‎ C. rice and maize. D. rapeseed and Arabidopisis.‎ ‎15. Jong Myong Kim’s experiment of trying out the method .‎ A. can make people’s trips pleasant ‎ B. turned out a worldwide success C. is as simple as pouring vinegar over the plants ‎ D. appeals to many flower growing companies 二、七选五 Avoid Internet Addiction ‎__16__ Many people suffer from addition to the Internet and have a hard time paying attention to the important things around them. How can we prevent ourselves from going online too much?‎ Admit you have an addition. __17__ Realize more and more people in the world are becoming addicted.

He had been crying. Brian grabbed my hand and said, “Amanda has been in a car 21 .”‎ Every inch of my body went 22 as I realized what he had said. My sister was injured. One question sounded over and over in my head 23 could this have happened? Even though she was only 17, Amanda was one of the 24 drivers I knew. I felt shocked and terrified.‎ My brother and I left immediately 25 the hospital my sister was in. When we arrived, my sister’s face was 26 from the eyebrows up and you could see blood everywhere. She was 27 to several machines. My mom and dad stood at her side crying.‎ My sister looked 28 at me with blood-filled eyes. In her eyes, where I expected to see 29 , I saw strength. She said to me, “I love you, Renee.” I suddenly realized how 30 I tell my sister I love her. I tried to 31 her, but she wasn’t listening any more, 32 some doctors were taking her away to the x-ray room.‎ As they wheeled her away I wanted to scream out, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t move, speak or even cry 33 she was around the corner. Then the tears came.‎ Though everyone kept telling me she would be all right, something made me 34 . Every moment that passed allowed the 35 in my mind to grow bigger. Finally, the doctor walked down the hall and stood quietly in front of us. It was then that the long-awaited 36 came. Amanda was going to be okay.‎ My heart leaped as I realized I still had a sister. She would need a lot of plastic surgery (整容手术), but she was 37 .‎ A year later, 38 my sister and I quarrel sometimes, every time I see her face and spot the large scar that stretches across it, I remember to tell her that I 39 her.

We tried to walk across the United States of America. We're not exactly sure 41 we were doing it. Part of it was to test ourselves; to see if we could face the challenges. When I was 42 teenager I often daydreamed that I was going to walk across the United States 43 I graduated from high school. 44 ，I didn't do that. Before I knew it I was in my thirties, married, 45 (have) a job, yet still had this idea in my mind with each 46 (pass) year. I figured I was too old and my opportunity had passed. Then, a few years ago，I met Tony, 47 was in his thirties and quit his job as a civil engineer in New York City to walk across the United States. He wasn't doing it for a cause 48 as part of an organization. He was doing it 49 （simple) because he loved to walk and discover. The idea was back and I no longer had an excuse. We planned on averaging 20 miles a day and taking some days off to rest, so we expected the walk to take about 6 months realizing it could take 50 (long). We were in no hurry: The total distance would have been about 3,100 miles.‎ 五、短文改错 As the saying goes, chances favored the prepared mind. I learned this from one of my experience.‎ I was not chosen as member of the volleyball team of our school. Because of this, I decided to give up play volleyball. Luckily, my best friend stopped me but pointed out that it was my laziness and poor preparation which led to my failure. After that, I practiced playing volleyball on every day. When another tryout arrived, I was full prepared and tried my best. As a result, I was selected and became an important player on our school team.‎ From this, I am firmly convincing that, no matter when chances arrive, we were able to seize them as long as we get well prepared.‎ 高二寒假作业检测考试试题 ‎（英语）‎ 参考答案 一、阅读理解：1-4 ACDC 5-7 ACA 8-11 CABD 12-15 DCCD 二、七选五：16-20 EBGCD 三、完形填空21-25 CADBD 26-30 ABACD 31-35 ABDCB 36-40 ADDC 四、语法填空 41. why 42. a 43. after 44.
