‎2019-2020学年江苏扬州高一下英语期中试卷 一、阅读理解 ‎ ‎ ‎1. ‎ The government of New South Wales, Australia has begun a detection（探测）camera program to stop people illegally using their smart phones while driving.‎ During the first three months of the new system, drivers caught by the technology will be sent a warning letter. After this, the illegal drivers will be given five wrongdoing points and a fine of 344 Australian dollars. The fine rises to 457 Australian dollars in school zones. It is illegal to hold and use a smart phone while driving in New South Wales.‎ According to New South Wales' Centre for Road Safety, the system uses both fixed and transportable cameras. It also uses artificial（人工的）intelligence to review photos and detect illegal drivers. The government employees will check photos that the system picks out. And "strict controls" are in place to make sure that photos taken by the system are managed and stored safely.‎ ‎"A study has shown that these cameras could prevent around 100 deadly or serious injury crashes over five years," Bernard Carlon, the director of transport for the Centre, said. Using smart phones while driving is a kind of distracted（精神不集中的）driving. It certainly is a serious issue. In the U. S. the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has described distracted driving as "any activity that takes attention away from driving". This can include talking or texting on a phone, eating or drinking while at the wheel, and even talking to other people in the car. The NHTSA says that in 2017, 3,166 people were killed in crashes because of it.‎ ‎"At present, technology is more likely to create distractions in cars than it is to fight against it," Alain Dunoyer, SBD Automotive's leader, said. He added, "Through testing, we have found that these once simple tasks, like changing the radio station or increasing the temperature, can now need a high level of a driver's attention."‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（1）What can we learn about the punishment to illegal drivers?‎ A.They won't be allowed to drive for a while.‎ B.Their photos will be shown to the public.‎ C.They will be fined or have their points taken off.‎ D.They face a bigger fine in school zones.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（2）How does the new system work?‎ A.Humans need to pick out the illegal drivers first.‎ B.It fully depends on artificial intelligence.‎ C.Detection cameras and humans will work together.‎ D.AI will check the photos of illegal drivers.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（3）What does the last paragraph say?‎ A.Cars become more and more high-tech.‎ B.Technology brings new troubles.‎ C.Driving is very difficult and dangerous.‎ D.More and more people begin to drive.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎2. ‎ More people are paying closer attention to how the production of clothing affects the environment. However, some experts say that the idea of "buy and throw away" still rules when it comes to clothes. This is true, although some famous people and teams support a movement to reuse and recycle clothing.‎ The British design team, Vin+Omi, looks for creative ways to make the industry more sustainable（可持续的）. Their clothing is worn by former first lady Michelle Obama and singers Beyonce and Lady Gaga. The team found latex（乳胶）from Malaysia. But when they discovered the conditions for the work there were bad, they bought the operation. In their office in the English countryside, they grow unusual crops for cloth development. Their latest line of clothes includes ones made from plants.‎ Another English designer, Zoe Corsellis, keeps her carbon footprint low by making the cloth from wood products, sea waste and something called "peacesilk". Belgian designer Sebastiaan de Neubourg is recycling plastic bottle scar parts and machines used in homes. Plastic waste is collected and torn into small pieces for a 3D printer. "Waste, I believe, is design failure," he said.‎ More famous people are playing a part in the movement. Some are buying old high-quality clothes used by people long ago. Others wear a set of clothes more than once.‎ Fee Gilfeather is a sustainability expert with the nonprofit group Oxfam. She said there is hope that more can be done. "The textile（纺织品）industry is getting close to working out how to do fiber-to-fiber recycling," she said. Such recycling takes clothes that are no longer wanted or needed and breaks them down into raw materials to make new clothes. She said the industry needs to move faster, because carbon emissions（排放物）from the textile industry are expected to increase by 60 percent by 2050.‎ Some fast-fashion industry leaders, including the leaders of Zara and H&M stores, have launched clothing take-back plans to recycle old clothes. But for now, recycling and a zero-waste goal are only a small part of the worldwide industry.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（1）How does "Vin+Omi" try to make the industry more sustainable?‎ A.By making the cloth from wood products.‎ B.By making good use of sea waste.‎ C.By depending on used materials to make clothes.‎ D.By turning to unusual plants for materials.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（2）Which of the following statements shows Fee Gilfeather's opinion?‎ A.The fashion industry can do more for environmental sustainability.‎ B.Carbon emissions will increase by 60 percent by 2050.‎ C.People should care more about the environment instead of the fashion.‎ 第13页 共14页 ◎ 第14页 共14页 D.A zero-waste goal is impossible for the fashion industry.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（3）What's the text mainly about?‎ A.The idea of "buy and throw away" has gone out of fashion.‎ B.Clothing industry may face an uncertain future.‎ C.Clothing designers are taking action to save the environment.‎ D.More people buy clothes made from used materials.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎3. ‎ Ask people how they feel about cold and you'll find that most people dislike it and complain about it. But new research suggests that human actually associate（将……联系起来）cold with positive things. A lot of research shows that our minds are actually full of biases（偏见）. Many of these need to be corrected. But others fall into the type that is considered strange but useful. Our feelings about cold are one example.‎ Recent research out of the University of Oxford actually shows that people tend to associate cold temperatures with luxury（奢华）. In one part of that study, people who touched a cold vase thought it to be worth more than the same one at room temperature. In another, people thought traveling bag shown against a snowy nature scene is more expensive than the same product shown against the nature scene during springtime.‎ That's strange, right? Temperature and status seem to have nothing to do with each other—and if they did, wouldn't "warm" be nicer? But as Oxford marketing professor Rhonda Hadi explained to Fast Company's Mark Wilson, the association actually makes a strange kind of sense." ‎ When you think about status, you may associate it with distance—psychological and physical distance—which is the opposite of warmth being associated with closeness," she said. Besides, she notes, something that feels cold hasn't been touched by anyone else. On the contrary, something that's warm has been touched by many people. "Think about sitting on a seat on the bus right after someone has left it," Wilson suggested. "It's warm, but it's...unpleasant."‎ Even with this explanation, the association between cold and luxury is still a little strange, but it's the kind of strangeness that businessmen are happy to put to use. This strange association is why jewelry ads often show the goods on actual ice. It's also probably why luxury stores are often very cold. If you're trying to sell a product of very high quality, finding creative ways to diminish the temperature around it may push customers to see your offering as worthy of more of their dollars.‎ If you're a shopper, on the other hand, it's always useful to know all the tricks sellers have up their sleeves to get more of your hard-earned cash. So next time you spot a high-end fashion ad featuring a model rolling around in the snow or a commercial with a luxury car driving through an icy landscape, know your brain's biases are being influenced. Warn yourself to free from the influence.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（1）What does the research in Paragraph 2 show?‎ A.People like to associate cold with less expensive things.‎ B.Surroundings will influence a product's value.‎ C.Temperature influences people's judgments on things' value D.It is very difficult to judge the real value of things.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（2）What does Rhonda Hadi think of the association?‎ A.It is unpleasant and hard to accept.    ‎ B.It is too weak to be noticed.       ‎ C.It influences people positively as a whole.‎ D.It is strange but makes sense.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（3）What does the underlined word "diminish" in Paragraph 5 mean?‎ A.Identify.     B.Lower.     C.Combine. D.Forecast.   ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（4）What does the author advise us to do if we're shoppers?‎ A.Be clear in our mind about the sellers' tricks.‎ B.Never choose products we can't afford.‎ C.Never trust ads featuring snowy nature scenes.‎ D.Get rid of our biases towards the luxuries.‎ 二、七选五阅读 ‎ ‎ ‎ 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。 ‎ Though we're different, we all want to live a fulfilling（充实的）life. We look for meaning in everything we do and we want to get the most out of our experiences. The question here is: what does a fulfilling life look like to you? Is it one where you've got a lot of money for everything you want and need? Or is it a life of peace and health?（1）________‎ To create a more fulfilling life, you have to be a brave person who is willing to do whatever you think is the right thing to do.（2）________ To live fully, we must discover what we truly want, and then follow our own path and try our best. In this way, we can make great things happen.‎ In modern society, most people think that success should be weighed by how much you make, how big your house is, or how nice your car is. In fact, it's not true. Money is important.（3）________ Success in relationship, health and work is better sources of happiness than money.‎ ‎（4）________ The things we call "obstacles"（障碍）aren't things we must get over. These are things that will point us to the right direction; in other words, they are our paths to success.（5）________ The next time you have troubles, try to see them as something that can help you achieve what you want.‎ ‎ A. And this is really good. B. All of us have our own hopes and needs. C. What stands in the way becomes the way. D. However, there are other forms of success. ‎ 第13页 共14页 ◎ 第14页 共14页 E. Whatever it is, you can create it by taking action. F. So you avoid doing it because it creates much stress. G. People often meet with troubles before they achieve success.‎ 三、完形填空 ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ My morning began normally. I took care of my three cats,（1）________ to complete chores while drinking a cup of coffee（2）________, and then rushed out of the door for my mid-morning appointment（约会）.‎ After the appointment, I was（3）________.

Instead, it includes using many ways to come up with low cost gifts that are in line with the taste of the recipient（接受者）. Keeping this in mind, it is possible to provide a frugal gift that will be received with thankfulness, along with love and good wishes.‎ Someone who cooks may find that people would enjoy a basket of homemade cookies. Artists may create wall decorations that are in line with the taste of the recipient. Even people who are good at repairing may create a simple coupon book（优惠券）as a frugal gift, allowing the recipient to receive simple repairs around the home throughout the year.‎ Sometimes the giver has something that the recipient has admired or that the recipient is more likely to use. The giver can give the recipient this item. Besides, the item should also be in excellent condition. One important thing is to always make sure the item is not actually given by the person who is to receive it; this can often create anything but good feelings between the giver and the recipient.‎ Going with inexpensive finds at stores or buying items offered at discount stores may also be a great way to get perfect frugal gifts. For example, buying several different bath products from a discount store and putting them into a simple basket can create a gift that is likely to please. A similar way would include buying a lot of snacks at a discount store and putting them into either an inexpensive basket or even a simple gift bag. Simple gifts of this type provide the recipient with something to enjoy at once without spending a lot of money.‎ 第13页 共14页 ◎ 第14页 共14页 参考答案与试题解析 ‎2019-2020学年江苏扬州高一下英语期中试卷 一、阅读理解 ‎1.‎ ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 段表大综 说使文以读 细射理子 社会明化政阅读 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 ‎2.‎ ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 环正构阅读 主水较意 说使文以读 细射理子 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 ‎3.‎ ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 推正移断 说使文以读 词较脱测 日常使原类阅读 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 二、七选五阅读 ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 议论来七选稳 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 三、完形填空 ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 人体故硫 记验立完形 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 四、单选题 ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 动射辨面 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 动使短原 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 名因丙析 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 第13页 共14页 ◎ 第14页 共14页 ‎【考点】‎ 动射辨面 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 动使短原 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 五、语法填空 ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 记叙水来法填空 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 六、填空题 ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 词三术分题 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 词三术分题 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 词三术分题 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 词三术分题 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 词三术分题 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 七、书面表达 ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 应表文木作 提纲类 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 概常写育 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 第13页 共14页 ◎ 第14页 共14页
