2018-2019学年新疆自治区北大附中新疆分校高一下学期期中考试英语试题

北大附中新疆分校2018-2019学年第二学期 高一英语 期中试卷 一． 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，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。‎ A Car washes are a common sight throughout Nigeria, but Madinat Aliyu’s roadside business is very special: she is the only woman car-washer in the north of the country.‎ ‎“This job has caused me a lot of problems,” said the 27-year-old, checking cars waiting to be cleaned in Gusau, the capital of Zamfara state.‎ Aliyu took up her work two years ago, hoping to use the 7,000 naira (£28) she earned every month to put her younger sisters and brothers through school following the death of their mother, the only one who made money to support the family. But her family begged her to stop doing this job, and she has received “judgment and warnings” from strangers too.‎ ‎“My grandmother cried for many days. Some people thought it was a joke to bring more customers. Others said if she is doing it for money, let’s just give her money to stop bringing us shame,” she said as she got water from a well by the roadside. “But I hate laziness or depending on somebody else.”‎ However, Aliyu has admirers. “Some customers only allow her to wash their cars,” said her colleague (同事) Shamsudeen Mohammed. “I was trained to wash cars by men, and I can honestly tell you women are better to work under,” he added.‎ Recently another woman came to Aliyu to ask for advice on starting her own car wash. “Unfortunately her family discouraged her. I told her, if you listen to them, you will find yourself begging or marrying a man who is older than your grandfather,” she said.‎ Though she is considered a pariah (贱民) by many, Aliyu has no plans to stop her work. “I see men doing something and I think I can do it too.”‎ ‎21.

(Who could forget Principal Snyder winning a toy dog that was so big it took four students to carry it to her truck?) This year we have two new game booths. So get ready to take part in the games.‎ Visit our craft tables. They will be better than ever! You can buy items such as clothing, backpacks, and gift baskets. ‎ Children ages 5 and under can have their faces painted for FREE by Mr. Garcia’s third-grade art class.‎ No fair would be complete without food. We will be selling hot dogs, ice cream, roasted nuts, and cotton candy at our booths. For those of you who love to bake, why not enter our new apple pie contest? Just bring your pie to the pie table on the morning of the fair.

The British Heart Foundation said breakfast helped people resist (抵制) sugary snacks before lunch.‎ The men, aged 45-82, were studied for 16 years. During that time there were more than 1,500 heart attacks or cases of deadly heart failure. However, people who skipped breakfast were 27% more likely to have heart problems than those who started the day with a meal. The researchers took into consideration other lifestyle risk factors (因素) such as smoking and exercise.‎ Researcher Dr Leah Cahill told the BBC: “The take-home message is to eat in the morning when you wake up, preferably within an hour. The results show that something is better than nothing, but it’s always better to have something healthy and balanced.”‎ She said the timing of the meal seemed to be key and waiting until lunch rather than “having breakfast” may be straining (损伤) the body over time. This could be increasing the risk of high blood pressure and fatness which could in turn damage the heart. “Don’t skip breakfast,” Dr Cahill suggested.‎ Victoria Taylor, an expert with the British Heart Foundation, said: “These researchers only looked at men aged over 45, so we would need to see further research to prove that breakfast has the same effect on the heart health of other groups of people. What we do know is that a healthy breakfast can make that mid-morning biscuit less tempting, as well as giving you another opportunity to widen the variety of foods in your diet. Cereals (谷类食品) with low fat milk are a good way to start the day. Try a banana or dried fruit on top and you’ll be on your way to a fine day before you’ve even left the house.”‎ ‎28. What does the text mainly deal with?‎ A. The effects of snacks on the health of the heart.‎ B. An interview by the BBC on people’s lifestyles.‎ C. What a healthy and balanced diet should contain. ‎ D. The relationship between breakfast and a healthy heart. ‎ ‎29. Dr Leah Cahill’s suggestion is that we should _____. ‎ A. fix the time for each meal we eat in a day B. make sure our breakfast is always balanced ‎ C. eat our breakfast immediately after getting up ‎ D. have breakfast within an hour after waking up ‎30. The underlined word “tempting” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “_____”. ‎ A. attractive                       B. valuable           C. obvious                  D. familiar ‎ ‎31. According to Victoria Taylor, _____. ‎ A. men over 45 are more likely to get heart diseases B. fresh fruits like bananas are necessary for a healthy breakfast C. it’s healthy to eat some biscuit between breakfast and lunch ‎ D. the researchers should have covered other age groups in their study ‎ ‎ ‎ D ‎ (CNN) — This photograph of two men sharing a drink 30 meters below the water is part of an art project exploring the mysterious world of freediving — a form of underwater diving that relies on a diver’s ability to hold his or her breath until resurfacing rather than on the use of oxygen tanks (氧气瓶).‎ Each man, dressed in shirt, jeans and sunglasses, sits in a chair at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea with local sharks — harmless to humans — swimming just meters away. Of course, these aren’t ordinary men, but freedivers: extreme athletes who dive on a single breath of air.‎ American photographer Lia Barrett had been taking pictures of brave divers competing at the Caribbean Cup off the coast of Honduras, when she decided to create a fantastic underwater world in which humans go about everyday tasks — such as drinking coffee or riding bikes.‎ ‎“After the competitors had a great time in the new national and world records set at the competition, I took advantage of their breath-holding skills to do photo shoots I had only dreamed of before,” said the 29-year-old.‎ Perhaps unsurprisingly, Barrett is often asked whether the amazing pictures are Photoshopped. She laughs quietly as she insists they’re 100% real.‎ The picture of two men having coffee took 50 minutes to create, with the men receiving oxygen from standby assistants around every three minutes.‎ ‎“On the way back up, we were holding onto the table during our decompression (减压) stop in the strong current (水流) — it was quite a scene.”‎ The underwater models made an 11-minute stop on the way back to the surface, making sure they didn’t rise too quickly and suffer decompression sickness — which can cause deadly blackouts (眩晕).‎ ‎32. The photograph mentioned in the first paragraph _____.‎ A. has set a new world record ‎ B. aims to call on people to protect sharks C. realizes the photographer Barrett’s dream D. is one activity of the Caribbean Cup ‎33. The Caribbean Cup held off the coast of Honduras mainly shows competitors’ _____.‎ A. swimming skills ‎ B. Photoshop skills C. photography skills D. breath-holding skills ‎34. Many people think the picture of two men having coffee below the water is _____.‎ A. not real                    B. not perfect                C. not surprising                  D. not interesting ‎35. Why did the two models make an 11-minute stop on the way back to the surface?‎ A. To have more photographs taken.‎ B. To enjoy the underwater world.‎ C. To bring back the table.‎ D. To avoid getting sick.‎ 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。‎ What do you do in a situation like this? You’re eating dinner with friends in a nice restaurant. You’re having a great time when a phone rings at the table next to you. A man takes out his phone and starts talking loudly about problems he’s having with his girlfriend. He talks for almost ten minutes!  36  ‎ Many people find cell phones useful in their day-to-day lives. But we’ve all sat next to someone talking too loudly on a cell phone. You may want to tell the loudmouth to end the conversation, but let the management take care of noisy customers.  37  Here are a few rules:‎ ‎       • Off means off!  38  If a sign says “turn off cell phones”, don’t use your phone.‎ ‎       •  39  Speak softly and for a short time. Try to move away from other people.‎ ‎• Lights off, phone off! Never take calls in a theater or at the movies.‎ ‎•  40  Talking on a cell phone while driving is dangerous. And watch where you’re going when you’re walking down the street and talking on the phone.‎ As more people use cell phones, things are only going to get worse. So, the next time you’re getting ready to make a call, stop and consider the people around you.‎ A. Pay attention! ‎ B. Try to make yourself understood!‎ C. Keep private conversations private!‎ D.
