‎2018-2019学年山西大学附属中学高一上学期期中考试 英语 ‎（满分：100分，测试时间：90分钟）‎ 第I卷 (选择题 共56分)‎ 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分36分）‎ 第一节 （共13小题；每小题2分，满分26分）‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A Ask Dr. Jeffers?‎ This month Dr. Jeffers is answering questions about the human brain and how it works.‎ Dear Dr. Jeffers,‎ One of my colleagues, Felix Moeller, told me that scientists are learning to use computers to ‘read minds’. Is there any truth to this story?‎ ‎—Jane Leon, New York, USA Dear Ms. Leon,‎ Well, a lot of research is being conducted in this area, but so far, the brain scanning equipment and corresponding computer programs haven’t been able to actually read thoughts. In one experiment, test subjects（受试者）were connected to scanning equipment and shown two numbers on a screen. They were then asked to choose between adding or subtracting（减）the two numbers. Using this method, researchers were able to follow brain processes and make the correct assumptions（假设）70 percent of the time. It’s not quite mind reading, but it’s certainly a first step.‎ ‎—Dr. J.‎ Dear Dr. Jeffers,‎ My three-year-old son loves it when I dig my fingers into his sides and tickle （胳肢）him until he laughs uncontrollably. The other day I noticed him trying to tickle himself but he couldn’t do it. Why not?‎ ‎—Glenn Lewis, Vancouver, Canada Dear Mr. Lewis,‎ It’s because of how the brain works. The brain is trained to know what to pay attention to and what to ignore. It causes us to ignore physical feelings we expect to happen, but it causes a mild panic reaction when there is an unexpected feeling. For example, you don’t notice how your shoulder feels while you’re walking down the street. But if someone comes up behind you and touches you lightly on the shoulder, you may jump in fear. It’s that unexpected part that causes the tickle reaction.‎ ‎—Dr. J.‎ 1. What can we learn from the answer to the first question? ‎ A. Some equipment is able to read human minds.‎ B. Some progress has been made in mind reading.‎ C. Test subjects have been used to make decisions.‎ D. Computer programs can copy brain processes.‎ 1. People laugh when tickled by others because the feeling is _______. ‎ A. unexpected B. expected C. comfortable D. uncomfortable 2. Who has got a little child according to the text? ‎ A. Ms. Leon B. Mr. Lewis C. Mr. Moeller D. Dr. Jeffers 3. According to the text, Jeffers is probably _______. ‎ A. a computer programmer B. a test subject C. a human brain expert D. a medical doctor B When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.‎ Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn’t have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny’s mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.‎ Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elizabeth explains, “Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business.”‎ Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans’ corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.‎ 4. Helene tied several chopsticks together to show      ‎ ‎  A. the strength of family unity ‎    B. the difficulty of growing up ‎    C. the advantage of chopsticks ‎    D. the best way of giving a lesson 5. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the An family      ‎ ‎   A. started a business in 1975‎ ‎    B. left Vietnam without much money ‎   C. bought a restaurant in San Francisco ‎    D. opened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles 6. What can we infer about the An daughters?‎ ‎    A. They did not finish their college education.‎ ‎    B. They could not bear to work in the family business.‎ ‎    C. They were influenced by what Helene taught them.‎ ‎    D. They were troubled by disagreement among family members.‎ 1. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?‎ ‎    A. How to Run a Corporation ‎    B. Strength Comes from Peace ‎    C. How to Achieve a Big Dream ‎    D. Family Unity Builds Success C Why play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides. Following the rules… planning your next move… acting as a team member… these are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.‎ Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating (合作) . ‎ Many children’s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones, which sharpens the hand-eye coordination（协调）needed in hunting.‎ Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.‎ Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.‎ Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.‎ 2. Through playing hide-and-seek, children are expected to learn to ________.‎ A. be a team leader B. obey the basic rules C. act as a grown-up D. predict possible danger 3. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 most probably means that games can________.‎ A. describe life in an exciting way ‎ B. turn real-life experiences into a play C. make learning life skills more interesting D. change people’s views of sporting events 4. According to the passage, why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging?‎ A. It inspires people’s deep love for the country.‎ B. It proves the exceptional skills of the winners.‎ C. It helps the country out of natural disasters.‎ D. It earns the winners fame and fortune.‎ 5. Iribarne’s goal of forming the foundation is to _______.‎ A. bring fun to poor kids B. provide soccer balls for children C. give poor kids a chance for a better life D. appeal to soccer players to help poor kids 1. What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A. Games benefit people all their lives. ‎ B. Sports can get all athletes together. ‎ C. People are advised to play games for fun. ‎ D. Sports increase a country’s competitiveness.‎ 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最佳选项，并将其答案标号涂在答题卡上对应题目的选项处。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a better student in several ways. 14 .
