重庆一中高一期中英语测试题

重庆市第一中学校2023-2024学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Paris is one of the most-visited destinations in the world. There are lots to explore and there’s delicious food on every comer. A relaxing trip to Paris takes a little bit of planning. Here are some tips for you to make your trip smooth.Planning your tripHave a valid passport for international travel. A passport costs $ 110 and takes 6-8 weeks to arrive after you apply.Booking FlightsThe cheapest period to fly is during the Spring time, especially if you can leave on the first three days of the week. You’ll save even more money by booking around 90 days in advance. In the summer months, tickets will be more expensive no matter when you book.Enjoying Your TimeVisit the Eiffel Tower.The Eiffel Tower is the most recognizable symbol of Paris. To avoid the crowds, go to the Eiffel Tower early in the morning. It costs €25 to go to the top, or €10 to climb to the first 2 levels on foot. See the Notre Dame Cathedral.At present, the Notre Dame Cathedral is not accessible to tourists due to the fire that ruined parts of the cathedral. However, you can still visit the outside of the cathedral.\ Go to the Louvre to world-famous art.The Louvre hosts the Mona Lisa along with 35, 000 other pieces of art. If you’re pressed for time, visit the highlights. The Louvre costs €15 at the museum or €17 in advance (to skip most of the line).Take a day trip to Versailles.If you have a day to spare, head to the palace of Versailles, around 14 miles southwest of the city. Take a tour to see King Louis XVI’s palace and gardens. It costs e 20 to visit the palace and grounds.1．How can one save the most money if booking plane tickets ahead of time?A．If he leaves on a Monday in June.B．If he leaves on a Wednesday in December.C．If he leaves on a Tuesday in May.D．If he leaves on a Thursday in March.2．Which tourist attraction is not open to visitors at the moment?A．The Notre Dame Cathedral.B．The Eiffel Tower.C．The Louvre.D．Versailles.3．Where is the text probably taken from?A．A course plan.B．A research paper.C．A travel brochure.D．An encyclopedia.My son loves hockey (曲棍球). As his supportive fan, I watched him paying in all the matches across half of USA this year, and I’ve learned that losing maybe best for kids.In his third season in 2022, my son’s team never lost more than three straight games. There was happiness, boasting, celebration, pizza. In short, it was a typically good youth hockey season. He improved as a player, but did not much change as a person.However, what happened the next year added its story to the legends of sporting inability. Not only weak but prettily bad, this team lost 40 of their first 50 games, most of the defeats coming in the course of two losing streaks (倒霉的时刻). For a time, I worried that these streaks would kill my child’s love of the game.But that’s not what happened. As bad as it got, the losing was clarifying. It kept out the kids who were in it less for the game than the glory, leaving just the die-hards behind. What started as a list of 17 of the team was cut down to 12. It was especially instructive for the kids. It taught him a great truth of the world: For everyone good, there is someone better.What more, the kids were learning the game in a way that only losing can teach. Each player got to play everywhere, to learn and appreciate the role of every position on the ice. They kept an eye on the payers from the other team too, studying and applying the tricks of success. In an effort to break the streak, they went back to basics, accepted the intelligence of the hockey ancients: If playing like a team, they can defeat a collection of all-stars; If doing small and unimportant tasks well, they can get the goal.This new team had personalities and could never be listed, no matter the score. They had learned the most important lesson: You can lose without being beaten. They squeaked into the state game, then made it all the way to the final, where the winner was decided in overtime(超时赛). When they lost that game and went into the handshake line, it was not as runners-up but as a team that had been made into winners in the only way that will stick — by losing.4．What does the author think about his son’s team in the third season in 2022?A．The team succeeded as a result of good luck.B．The team had an extremely impressive performance.C．The team didn’t live up to the author’s expectations.D．The team behaved rather badly in three straight games.5．What does the underlined word “clarify” refer to?A．The losing improved their teamwork.B．The losing made them better understand hockey.C．The losing helped them learn a great truth of the world.D．The losing kept true players instead of those for the glory.6．What can we infer from the last two Paragraphs?A．They became the winner finally.B．They didn’t start their training as beginners.C．They have personalities that can be counted.D．They applied themselves to improving their skill.7．According to the author, what have the son’s team learned?A．Falls seven times, stand up eight.B．The hardest fight is to fight oneself.C．God helps those who help themselves.D．Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.Once I was chatting with some friends about the fact that we all have accents (口音), most of them replied proudly, “Well, I speak perfect English or Chinese.” But this kind of reply is nowhere near the point.More often than not, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their accent is different from the local one, or that their pronunciations are different from our own. But this understanding of accents is limiting and could cause prejudice (偏见). Funnily enough, in the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that decide our accents. Even if you don’t hear ityourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do!Every person speaks a dialect (方言), too. In the field-of language study, a dialect is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure, phrases and words. For instance, “You got eat or not?” (meaning “Have you eaten?”) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to stop for a while doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different?We need to move beyond a narrow understanding of accents and dialects-for the good of everyone. Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a special part of who they are. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.8．What does the author think of his friends’ reply?A．It suggests their impoliteness.B．It shows their language levels.C．It reflects their self-confidence. D．It misses the real meaning of accents. 9．Why does the author mention Singapore Oral English?A．To prove dialects are acceptable B．To correct a grammatical mistake.C．To show different types of English.D．To encourage more changes tolanguages.10．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．We should be pround of our cultures.B．We should make friends more in the futureC．We should speak with our local dialect smote.D．We should treasure the value of accents and dialects.A．cultural researcher B．public speakerC．Chinese learner D．magazine editorsuggests smell is important in human relations, too. There is also evidence that human beings can lead to close relationship, deduce (推断) emotional states and even detect disease via the sense of smell.Now, Inbal Ravreby of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel has gone a step further. He think he has been able to prove, admittedly in a fairly small sample of individuals, that friends actually smell alike. He has also shown that with people picking friends at least partly on the basis of body odour (气味), rather than the body odours of people who become friends afterwards forming.But why? To cast light on whether friendship causes a similarity in smell, or a similarity in smell causes friendship, Dr Ravreby investigated whether e-nose (electronic nose) measurements could predict positive interactions between strangers (new friendships often start from being strangers). To achieve this goal they gathered 17 volunteers, gave them T-shirts to wear to collect their body odours, ran these odours past the e-nose and then asked the participants to play a game.That game involved silently mirroring another individual’s hand movements. Participants were paired up at random (随机) and their reactions were recorded. After each interaction, they show how close they felt to their fellow gamer by overlapping (部分重叠) two circles (one representing themselves, the other their partner) on a screen. The more similar the two smells were which are brought about by e-nose, the greater the overlap.But why body odour might play a role in helping to form friendships remains unclear. Dr Rav re by theorizes that there may be “an evolutionary advantage in having friends that are genetically similar to us”. Body odour is known to be linked to genetic makeup. Smelling others may thus allow hidden connections about genetic similarity to be drawn.12．What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 1?A．People will sniff their friends in private.B．People will close their eyes when sniffing.C．Sniffing their friends is not allowed when they meet.D．Sniffing their friends is uncommon when they meet.13．According to Dr Ravreby, which comes first, friendship or similarity of smell?A．Friendship.B．Similarity of smell.C．It remains unclear.D．It depends.14．What can we learn from the experiment?A．It involves participants who are friends already.B．The e-nose can help predict a possible friendship.C．The overlap part shows the two smell alike.D．It aims to find out how close two people can be.15．What is the best title for the text?A．Genetic similarity — the start of our friendship.B．Dog’s sniff — the origin of our friendship.C．Body odour — the connection of our friendship.D．E-nose — the measurement of our friendship.Scientists at the University of Massachusetts(UMass) announced recently that they have worked out how to design a biofilm (生物膜) that collects the energy in evaporation (蒸发) and changes it to electricity. This biofilm, which was announced in Nature, has the ability to change the world of wearable electronics, powering everything from personal medical sensors (感应器) to personal electronics.“This is a very impressive technology,” says Li Xiumeng, a graduate student in electrical and computer energy, “and unlike other so-called ‘green-energy’ sources, its production is absolutely green.”That is because this biofilm—which is a sheet of bacterial cells (细菌细胞) and as thin as a sheet of paper—is produced naturally by an improved version of the bacterium Geo. Geo is known to produce electricity and has been used before in “microbial batteries” to power electrical equipment. But such batteries require that Geo be properly cared for and fed a continuous diet. By contrast, this new biofilm, which can supply as much energy as a battery of the similar size, works continuously, because it is dead. And because it is dead, it doesn’t need to be fed.The secret behind this new biofilm is that it makes energy from the moisture (水分) on your skin. While we daily read stories about solar power (太阳能), at least 50%of the solar energy reaching the earth goes toward evaporating water. “This is a huge, undiscovered source of energy,” says Ye Xun, professor of electrical and computer engineering at UMass, and the paper’s one senior author. Since the surface of our skin is always wet with sweat, the biofilm can make use of it and change the energy locked in evaporation into enough energy topower small equipment. “Our next step is to increase the size of our film to power more smarter wearable electronics,” says Ye, and Li points out that one of the goals is to power entire electronic systems, rather than single equipment.16．Which can biofilm do according to Paragraph 1?A．Invent wearable electronics.B．Get power from evaporation.C．Supply energy to microbial batteries.D．Produce more electricity than before.A．it is relatively thinner B．it is environmentally friendlyC．it applies a rare energy source D．it decreases the cost in usage 18．What do Ye and Li think of the future of the biofilm?A．Doubtful.B．Bright.C．Unclear.D．Harmful. 19．What is the purpose of the text?A．To introduce us to a new biofilm.B．To describe the disadvantages of the biofilm.C．To compare the new biofilm with others.D．To change people’s view on the new biofilm.二、七选五Signs That You Are GrowingGrowing is a lifelong process. Here are the signs that show that you are actually growing and not getting stuck in the process.20Often, we see how badly people look when they get overly upset due to unimportant things. So the first sign of maturity (成熟) is letting the small things go and not getting angry over a tiny detail that didn’t go as you planned.You start forgiving and understanding other peopleWhen we are young, we are often unforgiving. As we mature, we are better able to understand the world beyond black and white. 21 . It enables us to look beyond the obvious and let go of simple judgments. We begin to understand better that others have complex (复杂的) lives and personalities, and so we become more willing to forgive their mistakes.You always complete things that matterImmature people don’t know when to commit (承诺) themselves and their energy or resources are always not well employed. 22 . In this way, they can often keep their promises and honor their commitments.You accept the possibility of being wrong23 . They are always able to accept the possibility that they are wrong, that they don’t know something, because there is always more to learn.Being mature is knowing that you are always growing up. You are never done learning and developing. This means that you don’t set yourself up as the highest authority.24 .A．You follow the crowdB．You let the small things goC．Instead, mature people focus on completing things that matterD．Immature and mature people can both have plans for their livesE．Rather, you open your mind to other ideas and new possibilitiesF．Becoming more understanding is a sign of strength, not weaknessG．Mature people appear more confident, however, they are not overconfident三、完形填空I embarked on an overnight bus journey from Kolhapur to Aurangabad in India.

重庆市渝高中学2023-2024学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解You can’t just rely on textbooks to learn English, if you want to learn a foreign language well. Actually, you need an excellent language environment. This does not mean that you have to move abroad or live with foreigners. It is also a good way to read the original books, and the best and most reliable ones are the classics. Here are four famous books. Let’s see which one you are most interested in.UlyssesUlysses did “stream of consciousness” before the term existed, and it’s also a complicated (难懂的) novel filled with references, wordplay, confusing jokes, and intense, personal reflections by the characters.Moby-DickMoby-Dick has a fame for being very dull. Melville’s novel wasn’t received well on publication (it took decades before people really started to realize how great it is), and the negative evaluation (评价) is repeated every year when students are forced to read it.Pride and PrejudicePride and Prejudice is a masterpiece in the literary world, being the inspiration, basis, and model for so many modern novels. You’re probably more familiar with its plot (情节) and characters than you think. For a book written in the early 19th century, its modernity is surprising only until you realize this is the novel that in many ways defines what a modern novel is.The Big SleepIt’s true that the book is written in what seems to modern audiences like a self-consciously tough style, peppered with old-fashioned expressions, and the plot is famously complicated, even for a mystery. It actually has several loose ends that never get solved, but it doesn’t matter.1．Which book failed to be popular at first?A．Ulysses.B．Moby-Dick.C．Pride and Prejudice.D．The Big Sleep. 2．What is special about Pride and Prejudice?A．It is full of confusing jokes.B．It is famous for its dullness.C．It is a typical modern novel.D．It has some mysterious (神秘的) ends. 3．Where is the text probably taken from?A．A textbook.B．An English magazine.C．A travel brochure.D．A novel.Joe Clark was a non-traditional high school principal, whose unusual way of carrying out rules became the subject of a 1989 Hollywood movie. He gained national attention for his leadership at Eastside High School in Paterson, New Jersey.“You are not inferior.” is what Clark would often tell his students, many of whom were African American or Latino. They grew up in a difficult environment and faced violence, drugs and troubled family life which could prevent them from succeeding in school and in life.Before becoming an educator, Clark served in the U.S. Amy Reserve. His experience might have influenced how he ran his school. He was known to walk around with a bull horn and a baseball bat. In Clark's first days of working, he expelled 300 students for breaking school rules. The students who remained at school believed that higher expectations were being placed on them. They felt more pressure to perform better.Some praised his efforts at discipline while others criticized his methods. President Ronald Reagan offered Clark a White House policy adviser position after his success at the high school. In 1988, one teacher, said his methods were more like being in a labor camp than a public high school. In 1989, actor Morgan Freeman played Clark in the movie “Lean on Me.” That movie was based on Clark's experiences at Eastside. “Joe was a father figure to school kid,” Freeman said. “He was the best of the best in terms of education.” Recently, one of Joe Clark's former students, Thomas McEntyre said, “I never really got a chance to... thank him. We are your product. You did not fail us. No matter whether you kicked me out, you did not fail me. You bettered me."After he retired from Eastside in 1989, Clark wrote a book called “Laying Down the Law: Joe Clark's Strategy for Saving Our Schools.” He described how he managed to turn Eastside High from a failing school into a success.4．By saying “You are not inferior” to his students, Joe Clark meant to_________.A．make the students face the reality B．lead the students to accept themselvesC．press the students not to make mistakes D．encourage the students to betterthemselves5．What does the underlined word “expelled” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Drew out.B．Kicked out.C．Brought out.D．Smoothed out. 6．Who criticized Joe Clark?A．The president B．One teacher.C．Morgan Freeman.D．ThomasMcEntyre.7．Which of the following best describes Joe Clark?A．Tough and unique.B．Demanding and humorous.C．Kind and considerate.D．Well-meaning and professional.Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely leading to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.Race walkers are conditioned(有身体条件的)athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing (摆动)and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most data, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里)per hour, which is about twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1, 000 or more calories per hour.However, race walking does not hit the body as hard as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1. 4 times their body weight with each step.As a result, she says, some of the injuries connected with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place much stress on the ankles (脚踝) and hips (臀部), so people with a history of such injuries might want to be careful in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first communicate with a coach or experienced racer to learn proper skills, she says. It takes somepractice.8．Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?A．They must run long distances.B．They do well in the marathon.C．They have to follow special rules.D．They are good at swinging their legs.9．What advantage does race walking have over running?A．It’s more popular at the Olympics.B．It’s less challenging physically.C．It’s more effective in body building.D．It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.10．What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking?A．Getting experts’ opinions.B．Having a medical examination.C．Employing an experienced coach.D．Doing regular exercises.11．Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking?A．Puzzled.B．Careful.C．Supportive.D．Worried.Processed foods like chips, sodas and frozen pizzas are full of salt, sugar, and fat. Now, scientists are trying to understand if there is something else about such foods that may be bad for humans.The researchers created a system that places foods into four groups. The system says highly processed foods are made mostly of industrialized materials and additives (添加剂). Sodas, packaged cookies, instant noodles and chicken nuggets (鸡肉块) are some examples of highly processed foods. But also included are products that can seem healthy, such as morning cereals, energy bars and some kinds of yogurt.Researchers conducted a four-week study involving 20 people. They found that people ate about 500 more calories a day when fed mostly processed foods. That is compared to when the same people were given less processed foods. The researchers permitted the 20 participants to eat as much or as little as they wanted. They were taken to a medical center so their health and behavior could be observed. In another study, researchers in France foundpeople who ate more processed foods were more likely to have heart disease. A similar study in Spain linked eating more processed foods to a higher risk of death in general.The scientists also found that people ate processed foods more quickly. Kevin Hall is one of the researchers who led the study. He said that processed foods were usually softer and easier to chew and swallow. Hall noted the source of nutrients might make a difference. For example, fiber from fruit and vegetables may be better for making people feel full than fiber added to packaged foods such as energy bars and yogurt.Avoiding processed foods can be hard, especially for people with limited time and money. Processed foods can also take many forms. In addition, companies continually re-engineer products to make them seem healthier. The newest studies may provide more reasons to avoid processed foods. But, they also call attention to the difficulty of coming up with ways to do that.12．What kind of food do energy bars belong to?A．Highly processed foods.B．Especially beneficial foods.C．Relatively high-cost foods.D．Fairly health-friendly foods. 13．What can we know about eating more processed foods in Paragraph 3?A．It can often result in death.B．It makes people get less calories.C．It does harm to people potentially.D．It makes little difference to people’s health.14．What is more likely to make people feel full?A．Fiber added to packaged foods.B．Fiber from fruit and vegetables.C．Highly processed foods like instant noodles.D．Foods made mostly of industrial materials and additives.15．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Researches reveal more harm of processed foods .B．Processed foods include a wide range of products.C．People have a higher tendency of eating processed foods.D．It is necessary for people to avoid highly processed foods.二、七选五It is often a complex and tiring task to live a healthy life, but that isn’t always the case.16 It’s time to change the classroom environment for the health of the children.17 It’s not surprising that sitting for long as a child is associated with health problems as an adult. Fortunately, there’s a simple, overlooked solution to these problems — standing classrooms.Over the last few years, a number of studies have shown that the benefits of the increased range of movement students experience when using standing desks are surprisingly broad. 18 Besides, standing desks encourage higher levels of teamwork and participation among students. Standing desks also help to reduce the risk of some diseases. They can help to prevent fatness, heart disease and low spirits. Sedentary (久坐的) lifestyles are a major reason why teenagers suffer from poor mental health, while higher activity levels reduce the chances of a child experiencing such an illness.The benefits of bringing standing desks into classrooms are obvious. 19 Otherwise they will likely hurt their muscles when standing for a long time. Standing desks usually offer a full range of motion, which includes the option to sit or lean (倾斜身体) without losing eye-level of the rest of the class, and that full range of motion is important.Sitting isn’t horrible. It isn’t a thing we should never do. The problem is that we do it too much, and so do our children, which makes children less likely to succeed and keep healthy.20A．It is time for us to stand up to stay healthy.B．But it is important for children to use them gradually.C．Children spend most of their school day sitting at desks.D．Thus it’s necessary to break up the sitting with standing desks.E．Something as cheap as a desk could be making a major difference.F．Right now there is something we can do easily to keep our children healthy.G．For example, they help students keep fit and avoid putting on too much weight.三、完形填空classes to gain some knowledge of Arabic (阿拉伯语).My teacher and I would meet a few times a month to practice 22 and go overgrammar.

I stopped feeling embarrassed and began to open up about my own 25 and my battle with Arabic. “Don’t worry; I’m here to 26 you. You’re hardworking and I’m sure you’ll do well in it,” said my teacher. I had 27 my students with similar words in my own teaching. It was 28 to hear them directed at me. The tables turned.“You are 29 today,” my teacher would say when I used varied vocabulary or expressions. When I heard these four words, I got a feeling of 30 . It also surprised me that my confidence could be encouraged by such 31 praise. That was when I became aware how 32 I had praised my students, because I thought much praise made them self-satisfied.

重庆市第一中学2020-2021学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择One day, at night, a thief tried crawling (爬行) into a farmer couple’s house. In the house lived many mice. The woman in the moonlight saw a mouse crawl into the house. “Look! In comes one.” She said to the man in the house. The thief was so frightened that he hurriedly crawled out of the house and said to the one waiting outside, “She found me when I was just in.” But the thief outside didn’t believe him,so he said, “Let us two try to crawl into the house together.” At that time two mice happened to crawl into the house, too. The woman saw the mice and shouted, “In come two, catch them!” The two thieves were terribly frightened. The man in the house said, “You saw them come in but where are they? I will catch them tonight” The two thieves started running away at once.The two thieves wanted to make it clear whether they had been found or not the night before. The next day they acted as men selling sweet potatoes and came before the house. The man and the woman were working in their fields. The rein (缰绳) broke and the woman came home for a new one. She saw two men selling sweet potatoes and wanted to buy some. She picked out two which looked like mice. At th e time the man couldn’t wait for her any longer in the fields and he ran back from the fields to hurry her up. The woman showed the sweet potatoes to the man and said, “How they look like the two of last night!” The man said, “I asked you to fetch a rein, why don’t you hurry for it?” The two thieves ran away quickly without their sweet potatoes.1．The two thieves failed to steal anything from the house because .A．they were found outB．they were frightened by what they had heard in the houseC．they di dn’t work together well with each otherD．mice stopped them from doing so2．From the second paragraph, we know that .A．the two thieves were famous selling sweet potatoesB．the woman recognized the two thievesC．the woman pretended to know nothing and made fun of the two thievesD．the two thieves didn’t know that they were not found at all3．What is the best title for this passage?A．Two Clever Thieves B．Terrible MiceC．Hit the Target by Accident D．A Clever CoupleDust storms appear when strong wind blows sand and dirt from a dry surface. Strong dust storms can cause injuries and deaths, so ifs necessary to know what to do when you come across them.Be careful of dust storm warnings.Dust storms are most likely to happen on hot summer days, so listen to the local TV or radio before traveling in hot, dry conditions, and consider changing or giving up your trip if dust storms are predicted (预测). Roadside signs may also be able to warn you of dust storm danger.Be prepared.If you are in an area where storms happen often, carry a mask to keep out dust and dirt from your face, and take eye protection to protect your eyes. A supply of water is also necessary.Go beyond the storm.If you see a dust storm from some distance, and you are in a car, you should try to escape from it. Some dust storms can travel at more than 75 miles per hour, but they usually travel much slower. However, it is not advised for you to put yourself in danger by driving at high speed.Stay inside.Do not move about in a storm, as you will not be able to see hidden dangers in your way. So if you’re in a house, stay inside.Protect yourself from flying objects.Cover as much of your body as possible. A dust storm’s high wind can carry heavy objects. If you find yourself without shelter, try to stay low, close to the ground, and protect your head with your arms or a backpack.4．What does Paragraph 4 mean?A．Dust storms usually travel much slower than cars.B．Don’t be so worried about dust storms in the distance.C．You shouldn’t drive at a dangerous speed to escape from dust storms.D．Driving faster than the dust storm is the most important thing.5．We can learn from the passage that .A．it is dangerous to travel on hot summer daysB．dust storms usually come from far awayC．people should stay indoors when a dust storm comesD．small objects blown by a storm's wind cannot hurt people6．Which may NOT really be needed when you come across a storm?A．A pair of glasses. B．A blanket.C．A bottle of milk. D．A travel guide.What should a university education be in today’s world and what should it mean? And what indeed is a university? How do we think about its duties and our duties?First, universities are about knowledge and the pursuit (追求) of truth. We believe in facts and in the power of the human mind to find them out. We regard education and learning as a way to human betterment and democratic government. Harvard is a research (研究) university, which means that people working here are making every effort to push the limits of knowledge in their fields. And as you learn, you are invited to be part of this adventure of discovery — in and beyond classrooms, laboratories, libraries, and museums. You may finally write an essay when you graduate —about 40 percent of last year’s student s did — a project in which you develop an interest, a problem of your own independent research — or perhaps you will spend a summer as part of our students research village, living on campus together with other student researchers while you work closely with professors in order to get new knowledge.We believe that the pursuit of truth needs a series of testing, of discussion, and of debate. We are never so complacent as to believe we have perfectly gained the truth. We know there is always more to know, so we must be open to new ideas, to the possibility of being wrong. This needs all of us to work with courage and generosity — to be willing to take part in the great debate, open to others’ ideas and willing to change our views based on reason. But these are not just brain skills that we hope to develop in each of you. These are human abilities as well, and the willingness to be open to learning and growth while new truths gradually appear and become known and understood to all.7．According to the author, a research university is a place where .A．progress can be made for human betterment and democratic governmentB．students must write an essay when they graduate from the universityC．people work hard to make new discoveries in various fields of researchD．students live on campus with professors in order to get new knowledge8．What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 mean?A．quite pleased B．too proudC．pretty sure D．very impatient9．Which of the fallowing is true according to paragraph 3?A．It takes both a long time and carefulness to complete the pursuit of truth.B．Making mistakes is acceptable because there is no end to knowledge learning. C．Human abilities are more important than brain skills in the pursuit of truth.D．We should be willing to change our views if others point out they are wrong 10．What’s the purpose of this passage?A．To describe what a research university is like.B．To give suggestions to those who are graduating.C．To encourage those what eve just entered college.D．To express the importance of looking for truth.二、七选五Sometimes boys and girls find it really hard to properly deal with the relationship with people of the opposite sex. 11．Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls.12．We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep in contact with the other sex in public instead of in secret.13．If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out.14．As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.Don’t fal l into early love. The boys and girls at a adolescence (青春期) are rich in feeling. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is full ripe.15．Do keep out of early love.A．First of all, you can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby asyou.B．Of course, there are also some special schools and classes that include only boys or girls. C．If you have problems of this kind, here are some “dos and don’ts” for you to follow. D．It is very natural for the boys and girls to make friends with each other.E.As a result, early love should be forbidden by all the teachers and parents.F.Don’t be too nervous or too shy.G.Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love.三、完形填空My father and I are moving gracefully across the floor.

"One thousand thanks，Luke，for saving my life，" the fireman said．This true story of love shows us that pets are kind，loving，and caring．We should love and protect them．Don't belittle them．Little animals can make enormous things for humans．4.What did the author think had happened to Luke？______ ．A. Luke ran away from the shelter for ever．B. Luke was afraid of big fire．C. Luke was killed by the big fire．D. Luke was able to save all the people．5.Why was the author proud of the Luke？______ ．A. Luke rescued four cats and a fireman from the fire．B. Luke warned people of the coming fire．C. Luke took care of other furry animals in the shelter．D. Luke has always been my closest and constant companion．6.What does the underlined word "belittle" in the last paragraph probably mean？______ ．A. Make things small．B. Look down upon．C. Live up to．D. Think highly of．7.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？______ ．A. To stress the role of pets in people life．B. To persuade people to keep pets．C. To call attention to the danger of big fire．D. To share a story of love and care from pets with us．CAlmost none of us have the time to read everything we'd like to read．Yet we lose countless hours to daily activities that bring us little joy like taking buses and waiting in line．What if wecould turn these little blocks of unoccupied time into precious and rewarding moments for learning and reflection？Founded in 2012，iReader，a micro-learning app on mobile phones，brings the biggest ideas from best-selling books through 15-minute audio （音频）and text．So far，more than 3，000 books have been included，ranging from psychology and parenting to management and economics，with new titles added every day．iReader is pioneering a new method of reading，with over 9 million users enjoying the benefits already．According to the Pew Research Center （PRC），the British read just 4 paper books a year and over 25% haven't read a single paper book this year，but reading isn't dying．There are now more ways for the British to read than ever before，due to the widespread use ofe-books and audio books．The books in iReader are rewritten to ensure it is easy to remember the main content．The way the content is edited has been specifically designed to ensure it is useful in practice．Besides，the content is rewritten with relevant examples in real life，which means users are more likely to remember and apply what is helpful to them．Holger Seim，German co-founder of this app，declares，"iReader gives you the biggest ideas in the shortest possible time．It transforms great ideas into little packs you can listen to or read in just 15 minutes．"8.What does the author suggest people do in the unoccupied time？______A. Read and think．B. Write and share．C. Avoid taking buses．D. Bring joy to daily routines．9.What can we infer from the PRC findings？______A. The British benefit a lot from reading．B. Reading methods are more important than before．C. Digital technology are taking the place of paper books．D. New forms of books are changing the way the British read．10.How does iReader make the content easy to remember？______A. By bringing fun to it．B. By making it useful．C. By using artistic designs．D. By taking users as examples．11.What is the best title for the text？______A. iReader Prevents Reading from DyingB. iReader Unites Worldwide Book-loversC. iReader：The Best New App CreationD. iReader：Big Ideas in Small PackagesDThe largest-ever study of the link between city walkability and high blood pressure has been considered as evidence of the "invisible value of urban design" in improving long-term health outcomes，say researchers．The study of around 430，000 people aged between 38 and 73 and living in 22 UK cities found significant connections between the increased walkability of a neighborhood and reduced risk of high blood pressure among its residents （居民）．The results remained the same even after lifestyles and physical environment were changed，though the protective effects were particularly pronounced among participants aged between 50 and 60，women，and those living in heavily populated areas and poor neighborhoods．The paper was published in the International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health．With high blood pressure a major risk factor for chronic （慢性的）and particularly heart diseases，researchers at the University of Hong Kong and Oxford University said the findings showed the need to take notice of the health-influencing factor in urban design．"We are spending billions of pounds in preventing and curing heart diseases - if we are able to invest in creating healthy cities through small changes in the design of our neighborhoods to make them more activity-friendly and walkable，then probably，we will have significant savings in future healthcare expenses．"Poorly designed spaces generally reduced walking and physical activity，promoting the lifestyles of long time sitting down and not moving，and were harmful to social communication，and as such related to poorer mental and physical health．Because walkability was "based on the potential （潜在的）design of the city"，said Dr．Chinmoy Sarkar，cities could be adapted or designed to encourage it．"Such investments in healthy design are likely to bring in long-term gains as they are lasting and common．"12.What is probably the result if we consider "invisible value of urban design"？______ ．A. The ageing population will be reduced．B. Our cities will be more walkable and activity-friendly．C. More money will be invested in preventing and curing heart diseases．D. The pace of urbanization will be slowed down．13.What can be inferred from the study？______ ．A. Young people are more likely to benefit from increased walkability．B. Walkable cities will cure a person of his or her high blood pressure．C. Chronic diseases are becoming common for people's inattention to their health．D. Walkable cities can help reduce blood pressure and the risk of heart diseases．14.What isn't the effects of poorly-designed neighborhoods？______ ．A. Worse economy．B. Unhealthy lifestyle．C.
