Is winter your favourite time of year? If you like snow and ice, maybe you should stay at Ice Hotel in Quebec, Canada. But you can only check in at this hotel during the winter. Why? Because this hotel is built every December. It has 32 rooms and 80 people can stay there each night. The hotel even has a movie theatre, art gallery, and church. Of course, all of these parts of the hotel are made of ice. In fact, all the furniture, art, lights, and even plates and drinking glasses are made out of ice. ‎ Because this hotel is so unusual, it is becoming very popular. People from all over the world come to the Ice Hotel to look at the fantastic ice art, drink and eat from designed ice dishes and experience the unique atmosphere. Some couples have even gotten married in the hotel’s ice church. But all these guests keep their winter coats on! Because of all the ice, the temperature inside the hotel is always between -2℃ and -5℃. Surprisingly, sleeping is not a problem in the freezing cold hotel rooms. Every guest gets a special cold-weather sleeping bag and some fur blankets. These keep the room cozy until morning.‎ 21. What does the word “cozy” mean in the last paragraph?‎ A. Cold B. Wet C. Dry D. Comfortable and warm ‎22. What can't you do in the hotel according to the passage?‎ A.Watch a movie. B.Eat an interesting meal. C.Get married. D.Go swimming.‎ ‎23. What is the best title of this passage?‎ A.How the Ice Hotel is built B.The services of the Ice Hotel C.Why the Ice Hotel is made of ice D.What makes the Ice Hotel special B The Notre Dame(巴黎圣母院) fire has been put out, but its spire (尖顶) and a large portion of its wooden roof have been damaged. The terrible destruction causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world. “What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore.” ‎ But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely through a video game called Assassin’s Creed: Unity. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire. Further, with virtual reality technology, which is already quite mature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it is still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage.‎ The idea of making digital models of ancient buildings to save their data dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with multiple images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one.‎ As computers and smartphones are hugely popular, the digital model has great useful value. First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them. Furthermore, it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness about them via the Internet. In 2000, a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting the site in the following years. Above all, it preserves all the information of the cultural relics. ‎ Of course, however precise a model is, it is not the original. Maybe we will have better technologies in the future, but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment.‎ ‎24. What can we see about Notre Dame in the game?‎ A. Its original look. B. Its wooden shape.‎ C. The big fire. D. The damaged Notre Dame. ‎ ‎25. What will engineers do to create a digital copy of the ancient buildings?‎ A. Build 3D models of full size. B. Scan the photos of the buildings C. Improve the technology needed. D. Measure all the parts exactly.‎ ‎26. How does the author prove the digital copy has vital practical importance?‎ A. By comparison. B. By classification. ‎ C. By giving examples. D. By listing data.‎ ‎27. What is the author’s attitude towards the application of the technology?‎ ‎ A. Delighted B. Doubtful C. Supportive D. Conservative C US cosmologist (宇宙学家) Carl Sagan once said: “Across the sea of space, the stars are other suns.”‎ For centuries, human beings have dreamed of traveling into space, orbiting (围绕......运行) our little blue planet, and appreciating incredible views of sunrises and sunsets. And soon, it seems that our dream will finally come true, as US startup Orion Span announced on April 6 that it planned to launch the first hotel in space in 2021. It will be ready to welcome guests the following year.‎ The space hotel, Aurora Station, will orbit 320 kilometers above Earth, circling it every 90 minutes. It’s capable of housing two crew members and four guests. The crew members will likely be former NASA astronauts who worked on the International Space Station. However, there’s a catch: Each guest must pay at least $9.5 million (60 million yuan) for a 12-day stay at the hotel.‎ Once aboard the Aurora Station, guests will find many exciting things to do. According to Orion Span, guests can enjoy the excitement of zero-gravity as they fly throughout the space hotel. They can watch 16 sunrises and sunsets every day and view the northern and southern auroras (极光) through the many windows. They can take part in research experiments like growing food, and even take it home as a souvenir. And they can stay in touch with their families and friends via a high-speed internet connection.‎ But most importantly, the trip will offer a real sense of what it’s like to live in space. “The premise (前提) of Aurora Station is for guests to live, feel, and breathe what it’s like to be an astronaut,” Frank Bunger, founder of Orion Span, told the Robb Report. “The food and drinks are freeze-dried products. It’s not going to be five-star dining … Fire and gas don’t work the same way in space as they do on Earth.”‎ To better prepare guests for space travel, the company will require a health screening ‎ and provide a three-month training program that helps guests understand basic spaceflight, orbital mechanics (轨道力学) and life in the pressurized environment of space.‎ Some may have doubts about the project, but the company even has plans to turn part of Aurora Station into private apartments. “Future Aurora owners can live in, visit, or sublease (转租) their space apartment,” Bunger said in a news release. “This is an exciting frontier (待开发的领域) and Orion Span is proud to pave the way.”‎ ‎28.What can we learn about Aurora Station?‎ A.It will be open to guests in 2021. B.It can only serve four guests at a time.‎ C.It costs every guest $9.5 million a week. D.It will invite NASA to train the guests.‎ ‎29.According to Bunger, what is the main purpose of Aurora Station?‎ A.To help people learn more about space.‎ B.To offer comfortable space travel experiences.‎ C.To provide real experiences of living in space.‎ D.To prepare people for future space exploration.‎ ‎30.What can be inferred about Aurora Station from the last two paragraphs?‎ A.It’s ready for guests to book their first trip.‎ B.Few people are optimistic about its future.‎ C.Its guests must have a basic knowledge of space travel.‎ D.Private apartments are the most popular choice among its guests.‎ 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。‎ Get out your shovels, your seeds, and your soil-it's almost April 22. Here are four fun ways to celebrate Earth Day with your kids.‎ Plant a tree.‎ Since the first Earth Day in 1970, planting trees has been a traditional way of celebrating the holiday. Try planting one in your own backyard, or attending a local tree-planting event. In its lifetime, that single tree will absorb approximately one ton of ‎ carbon dioxide. 31..‎ Spend the day without a car.‎ ‎32.. Yet, challenge yourself to make your way through the day without hopping in the car. Walking, biking, or catching the bus will keep your carbon dioxide emissions down and show the kids there are other fun ways of traveling.‎ Take a walk in nature.‎ Perhaps the most obvious Earth Day activity is a nature walk.

If you are, you are not alone. In fact, close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now, scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.‎ Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic.‎ Family size might cause people to be shy too. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. At the same time, children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.‎ You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries, they found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Israel, only one of three said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure. In Japan when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons, such as family, teachers, friends, or bad luck. In Israel, freedom of opinion and risk-taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.‎ ‎ For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversation. And don’t forget---if you are shy, you are not the only one.‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ 第二节 应用文写作(满分25分)‎ 假如你叫李华，是一位中学生。最近你校要举行以“关爱健康”为主题的英语演讲比赛，请根据话题内容谈谈你的看法，写一篇100词左右的演讲稿。包括以下要点：‎ ‎1.保持健康的重要性；‎ ‎2.保持健康的方法，如:多锻炼，健身强体；多吃水果、蔬菜，保持饮食平衡;鄙弃不良习惯等。‎ 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。‎ ‎3. 开头和结束语已为你写好，但不计入总词数。‎ How to keep healthy?‎ Dear boys and girls,‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ 高一英语半期考试参考答案 听力：‎ ‎1-5 ABCCA 6-10 CCBAB 11-15 AACBC 16-20 ABCAB 阅读理解：‎ ‎21-23.

I get up at 7:00 in the morning on weekdays. I go to catch the bus to school at 7:30 and it takes about twenty minutes. I don’t wear a school uniform. I usually wear jeans, trainers (运动鞋) and a sweatshirt.‎ I have eight classes a day and the first class begins at 8:00. I don’t have enough time to go home for lunch and we are not allowed to go to restaurants or any place where we can buy hamburgers and chips outside our school. So I usually have lunch in the school dining hall with my friends.‎ But I prefer the weekends and holidays to school! I like to play basketball, video games and see my friends. In the summer I go to camp with my best friend Ryan. Camp is really cool — we do lots of different activities like sports, fishing, horse-riding, walking in the mountains and we have camp fires at night and sing songs.‎ I really like rap music — Eminem is my favorite singer. I have a dog who is really cute. His name is Toby.‎
