河南省商丘市第一高级中学2019-2020学年 高一上学期期末考试 英语试题 第一部分 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（注意：从21题开始涂卡）。 ‎ A Congratulations on having been offered, and accepting, a place to study at Cambridge! This page offers some tips that will hopefully make your arrival at Cambridge as stress-free as possible.‎ ‎◆ Before you arrive Your College or Department will send you all the information you need to prepare yourself for your time in Cambridge, including College information, for example, accommodation, course information, and similar related details. You will be sent an email asking you to complete the University’s Student Registration exercise. It will only take a few minutes.‎ ‎◆ Pre-arrival Freshers’ Events this summer Around the world in August and September, Cambridge Alumni(毕业生)Groups will be hosting pre-arrival Freshers’ Events for new students coming to Cambridge this autumn. These events are a great opportunity to prepare for university and make some friends before you arrive. There will be the chance to meet current students and alumni from whom you can get tips and advice for living and studying in Cambridge.‎ ‎◆ Arrival and registration Most courses start in October. The term between October and December is known as Michaelmas Term in Cambridge. Officially, the first day of the Michaelmas Term is 1 October and this date will be shown on your offer letter. Your College or your Department will advise you about when to arrive. Ceremony activities begin around 1 October for most students. When you arrive in Cambridge, you should go first to your College. They will be glad to know that you have arrived safely and will advise you on what to do next.‎ ‎◆ Matriculation（录取入学）‎ Matriculation marks the formal admission of a student to membership of the University, and a College may not normally allow an unmatriculatied student to be a resident member of the College. Every freshman for matriculation must agree with the following belief by signing the Matriculation Registration Form:‎ I promise to observe the Statutes and Ordinances of the University as far as they concern me, and to pay due respect and obedience to the Chancellor and other officers of the University.‎ ‎1. Who will be interested in this text?‎ A. Senior high students. B. New university students.‎ C. Primary school students. D. Junior high students.‎ ‎2. What can you get from the Pre-arrival Freshers’ Events?‎ A. Registration and ceremony activities.‎ B. Current students and alumni’s agreements.‎ C. Suggestions for the coming college life.‎ D. Accommodation and similar related details.‎ ‎3. What is the aim of signing the Matriculation Registration Form?‎ A. To make their arrival at Cambridge as free as possible.‎ B. To complete the University’s Registration exercise.‎ C. To mark the formal admission of a student.‎ D. To have the students obey the school rules.‎ B It’s a classroom. Instead of being told to sit quietly and listen, you are encouraged to stand up, jump around, imagine and act out. It’s a class full of laughter and applause (鼓掌), emotion and energy. Welcome to drama class, one of my favorite classes at high school.‎ In drama class we used to play a lot of “drama games”. We would improvise (即兴表演), copy and above all use our imagination. My favorite game was called “Spotto”. One person stood in the front of the class and performed a scene, completely out of their imagination. When one audience member yelled “Spotto!”, the performer had to freeze. Then the person who had yelled Spotto had to get up and improvise a new scenario (剧情) based on the position the first performer froze in. This went on as more and more people were added to the scene. Eventually the entire class would have joined the scene. Then the performers would start to leave in reverse (颠倒的 ‎) order.‎ It was a lot of fun, and a good test of everyone’s imagination to see what they would come up with. Drama class at my school often involved a big performance at the end of the term as well. We would work on a production throughout the term and put on a show for our parents and the school community.‎ It was a great experience to perform on stage in front of a large audience. Drama class can help shy children, like me, to come out of their shells. It helped them become more confident and developed their public speaking skills. Drama class is also a great place to express oneself, and a way for children to use up some of their energy.‎ ‎4. Which do you agree with about the game “Spotto”？‎ A. Each performer in the game has to retell the story of the latter performer.‎ B. A performer has to show a story unrelated to that of the former performer.‎ C. Every student gets the chance to make a contribution to the “Spotto” game.‎ D. It is designed to help drama students learn from one another’s performance.‎ ‎5. The underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refers to “ ”.‎ A. shy children B. a large audience ‎ C. drama students D. the whole class ‎6. What do you know about the author according to the article?‎ A. He was too shy to attend the drama class.‎ B. He was a star student in the drama games.‎ C. He was shining in big performances each term.‎ D. He was happy to perform on stage in front of the audience.‎ ‎7. What’s the best title for this passage?‎ A. A few drama games for fun.‎ B. One of my favorite high school courses.‎ C. Unforgettable experiences on stage.‎ D. How to improve drama skills.‎ C Try this: For an entire day, forget about the clock. Eat when you’re hungry and sleep when you’re tired. What do you think will happen?‎ You may be surprised to find that your day is much like most other days. You’ll probably get hungry when you normally eat and tired when you normally sleep. Even though you don’t know what time it is, your body does.‎ These patterns of daily life are called circadian rhythms, and they are more than just habits. Inside our bodies are several clocklike systems that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle. Throughout the day and night, our inner clocks direct changes in temperature, body chemicals, hunger, sleepiness and more.‎ Everyone’s rhythms are different, which is why you might like to stay up late while your sister always wants to go to bed early.‎ Learning about our body clocks may help scientists understand why problems arise when we act out of step with our circadian rhythms. For example, traveling across time zones can make people wake up in the middle of the night. Regularly staying up late can make kids do worse in tests.‎ ‎“There is a growing sense that when we eat and when we steep are important parts of how healthy we are,” says Steven Shea, director of the Sleep Disorders Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.‎ One way to learn about how our body clocks tick is to mess them up and see what happens. That’s what neurologist (神经病学家) Frank Scheer and his workmates did in a recent study.‎ Staying up night after night, their studies suggest, could make kids extra hungry and more likely to gain weight. And regularly sleeping too little, Scheer says, may be one cause of the recent increase in childhood obesity (肥胖).‎ ‎8. What will happen if you forget about the clock according to the passage?‎ A. You will feel upset.‎ B.You will probably get hungry more easily.‎ C. Your body will not know what time it is.‎ D. You will behave normally.‎ ‎9. What is “circadian rhythms” in the third paragraph probably about?‎ A. habits. B. body chemicals.‎ C. clocklike systems. D. bad consequences.‎ ‎10. How do Frank Scheer and his workmates study body clocks?‎ A. By seeing what happens when they are messed up.‎ B. By asking questions and collecting answers.‎ C. By studying people traveling across time zones.‎ D. By programming people with man-made clocks.‎ ‎11. What will the writer most probably talk about next?‎ A. Other examples of what happens when body clocks go wrong.‎ B. Medicines that can keep people from putting on weight.‎ C. Reasons why it is important to have a normal body clock.‎ D. Emphasis on what circadian rhythms are.‎ D China is a country of many resources. Among its resources are many great rivers, which provide useful transport routes. Water transport is an efficient way to carry heavy loads, such as grain. In ancient times, a waterway was needed between China’s rich farmlands and the capital city. This need inspired engineers to build a canal. According to writings by the ancient thinker Confucius, work on a canal linking the Yangze River with the city of Huai-in began about 486 B.C. For many centuries afterward, Chinese emperors worked on extending this ancient canal.‎ This canal is now known as China’s Grand Canal. One thousand years after the original canal was begun, it was in extreme need of repair. This was in the year 607, during the Sui Dynasty. By 610 the emperor had had the canal extended. The Grand Canal formed a northeast-southwest link between the Yellow River in the north and the Huai River in the south. The canal remained the main waterway in this part of China for the next five hundred years.‎ In the thirteenth century, the Mongols had conquered China. The Yuan Dynasty established Beijing as the capital. The city’s growing population needed food, so a new canal was built to extend shipping. Building this part of the Grand Canal required enormous effort and cost. Neither the first attempt nor the second one was successful, so the builders chose another route. Finally this link in the Grand Canal was finished.‎ By the time of the Ming Dynasty, the Grand Canal had six sections. These were busy with goods until the nineteenth century. Then a series of severe floods struck China. Parts of the Grand Canal were badly damaged. By 1868 it had been largely abandoned as a means of northern route.‎ The Grand Canal was mostly restored in the twentieth century. It was widened and deepened, ‎ and a new section was constructed. Today the canal, which is about 1,200 miles in length, has new locks(运河的水闸). It is busy with ships and barges(驳船) carrying goods to and from cities along its banks.‎ ‎12. The Grand Canal was first built in ancient times to provide _______.‎ A. water for agriculture.‎ B. water transport between farmlands and the capital.‎ C. efficient transportation for the emperor’s army.‎ D. a convenient way for the emperor’s recreation.‎ ‎13. From the passage, one can conclude that ancient engineers who began the Grand ‎ Canal _______.‎ A. worked with limited knowledge and skills.‎ B. were given a great deal of money for their achievement.‎ C. found a brilliant and lasting solution to their transportation problem.‎ D. were inspired by the ancient thinker Confucius.‎ ‎14. The first large-scale(大规模的) repair of the original canal occurred in about _____.‎ A. 486 B.C. B. 607 A.D. ‎ C. the Yuan Dynasty D. the Ming Dynasty ‎15. Considering its history, one can predict that in the future the Grand Canal will probably ‎ ‎______.‎ A. be extended to further north China.‎ B. change from a shipping route to a recreation area.‎ C. need to be repaired and rebuilt.‎ D. be abandoned in favor of air transport and highways.‎ 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。 ‎ You will experience a lot of changes through your teenage years. The changes may seem difficult. They may seem to happen quickly. Don’t panic! 16 You are a young adult now!‎ With more duty, you will find more freedom to make your own choices. This is a time to be well informed about making choices. In this way you can make healthy balanced decisions. 17 ‎ ‎ You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine! Work hard and the right chance will present itself to you.‎ ‎ 18 You will probably want to be independent. But try not to shut your family out of your life.

It’s a small village located in the valley with a river going through it. It’s really beautiful now, but several years ago, it was not the case. Our village’s environment got damaged by the pollution of plastic rubbish and tree-cutting. Four years ago, people turned to a greener life after realizing the environmental problem. Moreover, to beautify the village, the government has helped villagers build new houses, and led them to develop rural tourism. Now, it’s obvious that the environment has greatly improved, as the river is cleaner and the woods are thicker. Many tourists are attracted to experience the rural life here, like going fishing, and enjoying the scenery and local foods.‎ Looking forward to your coming!‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua
