日喀则市第一高级中学 ‎17-18学年度第一学期期中考试高二英语试卷 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节 ‎（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20）‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。‎ A I was asked in an e-mail about learning idioms in a foreign language. Maybe I am different from most people，but I do not bother with them. To me they are kind of dessert of language learning. They come at the end of a meal. Once you have filled up with the solid fare—the key words and phrases that are used in a variety of situations，then you can add a few idioms to spice up things. And by that time you will be able to pick them up naturally anyway.‎ I find that many learners have an obsession(困扰) with slang and idioms，as if repeating some very colloquial_expressions is going to upgrade how they sound in a language. In fact it is the opposite. Idioms are difficult to use correctly. They can easily sound very strange coming from someone who obviously does not have a good sense of the language.‎ Yes，occasionally you hear idioms or slang and do not understand. But，in my experience，there are always situations where you do not understand. It is best to focus on the most important words，what they mean and how they are used.Certainly，it is best for a non－native speaker to stick to standard speech.‎ Some teachers even try to teach the “real language”．Then you hear non－native speakers saying things like “I gonna” ，“You wanna”etc. I just cringe(厌烦)．‎ You will learn all the idioms you need just by exposing yourself to the language. In general，you can save any phrase that you find interesting，and if that includes idioms，go to it. But I would not make any special effort to go after idioms. I，in fact，avoid them. If I come across something in Russian that strikes me as a particularly slangy or idiomatic use of words，I just leave it aside; do not even bother trying to learn it. If it keeps on appearing，then I will learn it. But I would certainly be reluctant(勉强的) to try to use it.‎ ‎1．In the writer's opinion，when one learns a new language，one should learn its idioms ________．‎ A．at the beginning B．on one's own C．in the end D．without help ‎2．The underlined word “colloquial” in Para.2 means “________”. ‎ A．oral B．informal C．formal D．written ‎3．It can be inferred from the passage that ________．‎ A．idioms are the most important part in a language B．the writer is not very willing to use idioms C．non－native speakers should learn more idioms D．there are no ways to master idioms ‎4．How did the writer develop the passage?‎ A． By inferring. B．By comparing.‎ C．By listing examples. D．By giving explanations.‎ B ‎ In the US , the potato is one of the most widely consumed crops. French fries are commonly found in typical American fast-food burger joints and cafeterias. French fries were introduced to the US when Thomas Jefferson served them in the White House during his presidency from 1801 t0 1809. Potato chips are popular with consumers as well.‎ The humble potato is more than just a kind of food. In many ways it’s part of the American pop culture. Let’s take a look at some pop culture potatoes.‎ Mashed Potato dance The Mashed Potato dance is a craze that began in 1962. The name of the dance came from the song it accompanies, Mashed Potato Time, performed by American R&B singer Dee Dee Sharp. The move vaguely resembles that of the Twist dance style, by Sharp’s fellow Philadelphian, Chubby Checker.‎ Hot Potato!‎ Hot Potato! is an action puzzle video game released in 2001. In the game the player must drive a bus and clear the road of alien potato beings. The potato beings are either red or blue; when two like-colored potatoes touch each other, they disappear. . Over the years, Hot Potato! has received ‎ mostly positive reception from critics.‎ ‎ Mr. Potato Head Mr. Potato Head is an American toy invented by George Lerner in 1949. The toy consists of a plastic potato model and a variety of plastic parts like hands, feet, ears and mouths. In 1952, Mr. Potato Head became the first toy advertised on television. This commercial revolutionized marketing and caused a boom that solidified this toy’s place in American pop culture.‎ ‎5. Which is the newest to the American pop culture?‎ A. French fries. B. Mashed Potato dance. ‎ C. Hot Potato! D. Mr. Potato Head.‎ ‎6. What can we infer from the text?‎ A. French fries were popular in US when first served in the White House.‎ B. Mashed Potato Time came from Mashed Potato dance.‎ C. Players can play Hot Potato! on their phone.‎ D. Mr. Potato Head can be taken apart.‎ ‎7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Enjoy American Fast Food B. Have Fun with Potatoes C. Different Uses of Potatoes D. American Food Culture C ‎ Hello.I’m Jan from Mrs.Lake’s class.My class wants to work ‎ together to help the public.We think we have found a great way to do this.Last month we did a class project on the highways near our town.We learned about the AdoptaHighway Program.This program brings people together to pick up litter along the roads.We think it is a great idea for all students in our school to join the program and adopt a highway. Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet.When a highway is adopted，only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people.The group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the highway clean.Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it.The sign is put up at the side of the road.This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean. The AdoptaHighway Program is a great way for people to help their environment look nicer.Also，the government does not have to send out many road workers.This saves money.Finally，people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people，especially teenagers like us，cleaning them up. We need helpers to care for our adopted highway.If you want to feel great and keep our roads clean，please come with your parents to the meeting next week.We will meet in Mrs.Lake’s room on Wednesday at 6：00 P．M.At the meeting，we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of people’s unkind acts.Then we’ll try to pick an area to adopt and clean up.I look forward to seeing you at the meeting.Remember to keep our roads clean! ‎ ‎8．What should the students do first if they want to join the program? ‎ A．Pick a spot to care for. B．Call Mrs.Lake next week. ‎ C．Write a letter to their parents. D．Go to the meeting on Wednesday. 9．What is the purpose of this speech? ‎ A．To encourage students to join the program. ‎ B．To introduce the traffic system. ‎ C．To show drivers how to drive safely. ‎ D．To tell a story about adopting a pet. ‎ ‎10．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A．AdoptaPet B．AdoptaHighway ‎ C．Ways to Protect the Environment D．Volunteers on Roads ‎ 第一节 ‎（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10）‎ 根据敦文内容，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。‎ Modeling Good Reading Habits with Teens By modeling good reading habits for your teen，you will be doing something good for both of you.
