2020年浙江省杭州高一（下）期中英语试卷解析版期中英语试卷题号I II III IV V VI总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共20.0分）AOne of the most popular American singers of the twentieth century was Elvis Presley. He made the rock 'n' roll music popular all over the world. He sold millions of records and made many successful films, and he helped change the direction of popular music in the 1960s.Elvis Presley was born in a poor family in 1935. His parents were simple country people who often took him to church, where he learned to sing, and he never forgot the kind of songs that he used to sing in church as a child.When he was young, Elvis moved from T oledo to Memphis in Tennessee, where he attended high school, but he was not a good student. His only real interest was singing. He began to sing in the style that is called "country and western".In 1995 he recorded some songs for his mother's birthday. The people at the recording studio liked his singing and his music. It was country and western music, but it also sounded a little like the music which black people used to sing in the American South. It was called "Blues". Shortly after that, Elvis met Tom Parker, who became his manager and arranged(安排) concert for him across the United States and new recording as well. Soon Elvis became famous around the country. Later Elvis went to Hollywood and began to appear in films such as Love Me Tender and King Creole.But Elvis found it difficult to live with success. Like manyother famous people, he began to take drugs and his health started to suffer. When he died at an early age of 42 in 1977, millions of his fans were shocked, "The King Is Dead!" the newspaper said. But today his memory and his music live on and he will always be remembered as the King of Rock 'n' Roll.1.Who was Tom Parker in the text?A. Another famous singer.B. Elvis' manager.C. A manager of a big bank.D. Elvis' best friend since childhood.2.What caused Elvis' death?A. The pressure from his parents.B. Tom Parker's punishment.C. His taking drugs.D. His singing too much every day.3.What can we learn from the text?A. Elvis didn't get any help from his parents.B. Elvis forgot his church music at a later age.C. The church songs helped Elvis develop his singing.D. The church songs stopped Elvis from developing his own style.BAlthough it is often called the koala "bear", this lovely animal is not actually a bear at all. It is a marsupial (有袋目哺乳动物), and like kangaroos, a female koala carries her baby in her pouch (育儿袋) for about six months.Koalas live in four states only in eastern Australia, where the eucalyptus trees (桉树) they love are most plentiful. In fact, they rarely leave these trees, their sharp claws easily keeping them high up in the air.During the day they sleep for up to 18 hours. When not asleep, they feed on eucalyptus leaves, especially at night. Koalas do not drink much water and they get most of their water from these leaves. Each animal eats a large amount for its size—about two and a half pounds of leaves a day, even storing snacks of leaves in pouches.The koala bears were widely hunted during the 1920s and 1930s and their populations decreased suddenly. Helped by reintroduction, they have reappeared over much of their former range, but their populations are smaller. Koalas need a lot of space—about a hundred trees per animal—which is a pressing problem, as Australia's woodlands continue to get smaller because the trees they live on are being cut down to make farms. Also, forest fires, caused by heat waves, are destroying the forests the koalas live in.It has been estimated (估算) that there are only 100, 000 koalas left in the wild, with the lowest estimates being no more than 43, 000. The koala can only eat eucalyptus leaves and lives nowhere else except Australia, so in order to survive, human effect on its limited environment must be controlled, or this attractive creature faces certain extinction.4.Why are koalas in danger of dying out according to the text?A. Many of them died in the forest fire.B. They can't be used to the global warming.C. Their living environment is gradually being worsened.D. Farmers are burning the eucalyptus trees that koalas live on.5.What happened during the 1920s and 1930s?A. Koalas faced great danger.B. Koala got well protected.C. Koalas' population fell slowly.D. Koala had enough space to live in.6.What will the author most probably talk about next?A. How to increase koalas' population.B. How to make the best of the limited environment.C. How to help koalas get used to the new living environment.D. How to reduce human effect on koalas' living environment.CAround lunchtime today, my son and I were walking in our community's busy "downtown" area. We passed by a homeless man sitting on the street. Since I had no cash on me, all we could give him was a good wish. As we walked by my son asked me "Didn't you have any money to give him?" I said，"I don't have cash." But why don't we ask him if he would like something to eat?On our way back on that street after doing our errand (差事), we saw the same man and asked him if he would like us to get him some lunch. His face brightened up and when I asked what he would like, he just said "anything is fine". So then my son pointed to a rather fancy looking "Parisian café" type of place across the street and we decided to go in there. Well, of course, it was lunchtime and the place was packed! We stood in line for a while, looking at pastries (酥皮糕点) that I knew we were not going to buy. Then we decided on a hot sandwich for the homeless man．After ordering and paying by credit card, we sat and waited...and waited...and not a peep outof my son about why it was taking so long...after some unlucky events with the order and the packing of a "to-go" box, we finally got out of there. My son said "I hope the man is stillthere!" And he was. And he was so happy (it took us so long, I'm sure he must have thought we weren't coming back) ...it made our day. We came home, made ourselves some lunch, and enjoyed the rest of the afternoon．7.Why didn't the author give money to the homeless man?A. He was very poor, too.B. He hated the homeless man.C. He was unwilling to help the poor.D. He had no cash on him.8.What did the homeless feel when asked if he would like some lunch?A. Happy.B. Surprised.C. Concerned.D. Frightened.9.What does the underlined word "packed" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Conquered.B. Busy.C. Crowded.D. Reserved.10.What can be the best title for the text?A. A Sandwich.B. My Son and I.C. A homeless man.D. Lunchtime.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Whether you like it or not，as students，you have to live with roommates after going to school or university．Having a roommate can be one of the best experiences，or easily one ofthe worst．(1)Here are five tips for you to follow to avoid the common mistakes that make good roommate relationships worse．Talk things out．(2) If something happens，sit down with your roommates and have aface-to-face conversation．Complaining about your roommates behind their backs creates nothing but bad situations and general unhappiness．(3) Some roommates become the best of friends，and some don't．Don't put pressure on yourself or your roommate to reach this level，especially when you first meet．Remember，you are trying to make a new friend，not frighten your roommate away．And if you roommate doesn't end up being your best friend，there is no need to worry about it．Clean up after yourself．Or at least，keep your things on your side．(4) But being considerate （考虑周到的）with where you put your own stuff（东西）will help you avoid the arguments．Ask before you take．This applies to（适用于）food，clothes and anything else that you don't own．(5) Even if you both agree to share everything you should still ask．A．Don't expect to be best friends．B．Communication is of vital（至关重要的）importance．C．You don't need to keep the room clean and organized all the time．D．Rooms can be really easy for a mess to pile up．E．If you want to have a good relationship with your roommate，it all starts with you．F．Try to make your roommates your best friends．G．Show your roommate that you have respect for his or her things．11.

AAlice Walker makes her living by writing. And her poems, short stories, and novels have won many prizes for her. She was born in Eatonton, Georgia; she went to public schools there, and then to Spelman College in Atlanta before coming to New York to attend Sarah Lawrence College, from which she graduated in 1965.For a time she lived in Jackson, Mississippi, with her lawyer husband and small daughter.About Langston Hughes: American Poet, her first book for children, she says,” After my first meeting with Langston Hughes, I promised I would write a book for children someday. Why? Because I, at twenty-two, knew next to nothing of his work, and he didn’t scold me. He just gave me a pile of his books. And he was kind to me. I will always be thankful that in his warmth he fulfilled my deepest dream (and need) of what a poet should be.”“To me he is not dead at all. Hardly a day goes by when I don’t think of him or speak of him. Once, just before he died, when he was sick with the flu, I took him a full basket of oranges. The joy I felt in giving that simple gift is undiminished (没有减弱) by time. He said he liked oranges, too.”21. In the passage, Alice Walker is .A. a researcher at Sarah Lawrence CollegeB. a professor at Sarah Lawrence CollegeC. a prize-winning writerD. a writer of plays for children22. From the passage we can conclude that Alice Walker was twenty-two years old when .A. she moved to Jackson, MississippiB. she moved to New YorkC. she first met with Langston HughesD. Langston Hughes died23. What is the main topic of the passage?A. Langston Hughes’ books about Alice Walker.B. The childhood of Alice Walker and Langston Hughes.C. Langston Hughes, American poet.D. Alice Walker’s reflection on Langston Hughes.BSchool had just started in August when Conner began throwing up for no reason. It wasn’t long before the boy also began suffering terrible headaches. In February a 1.7-inch tumor was found in his brain and Conner was set to begin to receive radiation (放射疗法) treatments. Before treatments start, technicians make a white plastic mask (面罩) to keep patients immovable and protect unaffected parts of the brain while radiation is directed at the tumor.It’s an unpleasant experience and a frightening time. The doctor Cook decided that the masks could at least be made to look like something fun —maybe Batman or Mickey Mouse. “I started thinking these masks are white and not fun at all for kids,” she told The Greenville News. “I felt like if we could make it a little more fun for them, they might be a little more excited about coming in for the treatment. Because the kids are afraid. While the treatment itself isn’t physically painful, it can cause a lot of anxiety (焦虑). And the treatment is required daily for up to six weeks. “And the masks really make a difference. “The kids really like them,” Cook said. “It makes what is, let’s face it, a terrible experience, a nice experience because they get to choose something themselves.”When new children come in for the treatment, Cook finds out what their favorite movies or cartoon characters are. Then she sets about creating the mask by drawing the image she wants onto paper, sticking it with glue, and once it’s dry, she applies the colors using paints. Each child can take the mask home once the treatment ends.“Coming to the doctor always means fear and pain. I wanted to make it fun,” she said. “The kids really love it. It’s something they enjoy and can relate to. And it fills an interest I have. I get great pleasure from it.”24. Why was the plastic mask used according to Paragraph 1?A. To check the patient’s brain.B. To reduce the patient’s headache.C. To prevent the patient from throwing up.D. To protect the patient’s brain during the treatment.25. What can we know about the radiation treatment?A. It can be received at home.B. It has to be finished in a month.C. It may make the patients feel worried.D. It will cause huge physical pain for patients.26. What does Cook do to help the children being treated?A. Offer them some free masks as gifts.B. Show them their favorite movies or TV shows.C. Dress them up as cartoon characters.D. Make the masks more interesting to kids.27. What does the author want to show by telling this story?A. Love can treat the terrible sickness.B. Kindness can bring warmth and joy.C. Health matters to everyone.D. Creativity leads to success.CWhat is success? I am not going to try to explain success. I think a precise meaning is impossible! Is it winning a Gold Medal at the Olympic Games or winning Wimbledon, or being awarded a Nobel Prize? What else? I believe personal success could be anything at all—it does not have to involve public recognition. Who is more successful? A millionaire who is unhappy, or an unnoticed person, who has led a simple, quiet, sincere and happy life? The simplest definition of success, I think, is “to set out to do something and to succeed in doing it”.The first step on the road to success starts with belief. Believe you can succeed and you will. Achieving success in whatever endeavor (努力) you choose may be the goal of life, because it gives you freedom from worry. Could that be?Success means different things to every one of us. Some people believe it is measured in financial term; others believe it is helping others rather than helping themselves. However, most people are motivated to a great extent by public recognition. How many people are really happy?How many people are really doing what they want to with their lives? Incidentally, the ability to imagine makes us different from animals.Most important of all, I believe success is a matter of personal growth. If every day you are developing or growing just a millimeter, I believe one is successful. Just being a slightly better person each day for me is success. I’ve got a very long way to go them!Finally, always remember success is a process and is not simply a matter of arriving at a destination. It’s the journey that really matters. Success is what you become in the often very difficult and dangerous journey down the river of life.28. What is personal success according to the author?A. Winning public recognition.B. Being an unhappy millionaire.C. Something impossible to define simply.D. Succeeding in doing what you want.29. According to the text, humans are different from animals in .A. beliefB. imaginationC. freedomD. success30. What can be the best title for the text?A. What is successB. No true successC. How to be successfulD. Success is reaching a destination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。

期中英语试卷题号I II III IV V总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）ADo you really care who wins Oscars？On February 24 this year，the Academy Awards were presented to actors，actresses，directors，musicians and many other people．Usually they are the "best" and we，the audience，are persuaded that this is true．This year，the nominations （提名）for Best Picture include Black Panther，Bohemian Rhapsody and Green Book．According to many people，these are great movies，as are the performers who bring the stories to life．Whoever wins the award for Best Actor or Best Actress will undoubtedly become a Hollywood star．However，Leonardo had never won an Oscar before 2016，but that doesn't mean that his films aren't amazing．I only need to mention Titanic and The Wolf of Wall Street and you can clearly see that he is an excellent actor．And of course，let's not forget Romeo and Juliet．I'm afraid someone may wrongly apprehend my meaning．I am not saying that those who win Academy Awards are not talented people．They most certainly are talented．What I mean is that I don't think we should judge films and actors by how many awards they have．After all ，at this year's Golden Globe Awards，Ricky Gervais compared the prizes to a doorstop and told the nominees to remember that no one cared about that award as much as they did．So let's not judge an actor or actress just based on what critics （评论家）say．If you want to know how good an actor or actress really is，go and watch the film he or she stars in．1.Why is Leonardo mentioned in the passage？______A. He is one of the writer's favorite film actors．B. He is one of the actors who starred in many films．C. He is the leading actor in many award-winning films．D. He is a good actor who didn't win an Oscar until 2016．2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "apprehend" in Paragraph 4？______A. Express．B. Understand．C. Change．D. Show．3.In the author's opinion，what is the best way to judge an actor？______A. To see if he has won an Oscar．B. To read what critics say．C. To judge him by watching his acting．D. To see how many awards he has won．BChopsticks, or Kuaizi in Chinese, are used to eat Asian food. The earliest evidence of a pair of chopsticks made of bronze was found in the Ruins of Yin near Anyang, Henan Province, dating back to about 1, 200 B. C..Chopsticks are round on the eating end which stands for heaven, and the other end is square which stands for earth. This is because keeping enough food supply is the greatest concern between heaven and earth in Chinese culture.There is no single standard for the use of chopsticks, but better keep some rules in mind while eating with them. Playing with chopsticks is considered impolite and rude, just like playing with a fork in a western environment. Besides, chopsticks are not used to move bowls or plates or to play with one's food. Chopsticks are not supposed to stab (戳) food, either. Exceptions include tearing larger items apart such as vegetables. Also, chopsticks should not be left standing up in a bowl of food. Any stick-like object pointing upward looks like the incense sticks that some Asians use as offerings to family members who have died. In addition, never tap chopsticks on the edge of one's bowl, as beggars are believed to make this noise to attract attention. Moreover, chopsticks should not be chewed on, or stay in one's mouth for too long. Today, chopsticks serve many other functions. For example, you can buy a pair of chopsticks as a gift for a newly-married couple as their wedding gift. In Chinese, "chopsticks" reads "kuaizi", which means having sons soon. Skillful craftsmen paint beautiful scenery on chopsticks to make them look like fine artwork. Additionally, it has been said that using chopsticks improves one's memory, increases finger flexibility (灵活性) and can be useful in learning and improving skills such as Chinese character writing and brush painting.4.We may probably find this passage in ______ ．A. a posterB. a magazineC. a travel guideD. an advertisement5.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Traditional rules for using chopsticks.B. Different standards to use chopsticks.C. Some exceptions to use chopsticks．D. Cultural backgrounds for using chopsticks6.The writer probably agrees ________.A. chopsticks can help keep enough food supplyB. stabbing food with chopsticks is never allowed in ChinaC. standing chopsticks up in a bowl of food is traditionally acceptedD. Chinese brush painting learners may benefit from using chopsticksCA new study, a project of the researchers from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, finds that a fitness tracker (健康追踪器) probably does not help with weight loss.The trackers are designed to record your physical activity. They are usually worn around the wrist (手腕), where they record a person's heart rate. The research team looked at two groups of people. The first wore a fitness tracker and took part in health consultation with experts for best weight-loss plan. The researchers compared this group with people who only got health consultation.The study found that those only speaking with the health experts lost nearly 6 kilograms, but those using a fitness tracker lost only 3.5 kilograms. John Jakicic, the lead researcher, questioned the use of these trackers for weight loss.The study involved 470 people aged between 18 and 35. Some of them were overweight, while others were considered obese. Over three fourths of them were women. All were told to increase physical activity and start on a low-calorie diet. They had their weight measured once every six months. After six months, researchers divided the group into two parts: one continued with monthly consulting, while members of the other group were given a fitness tracker. Eighteen months later, both groups showed great improvements in fitness, physical activity and diet, with no big difference between groups. However, when it came to losing weight, the people who only spoke with experts lost nearly twice as much weight.Jakicic said, "The study's findings are important because effective long-term treatments are needed to deal with America's obesity." More information is needed, he added, to learn how to best use these trackers to help adults who want to lose weight.7.Both groups of people in the study were asked to _______.A. start on a high-calorie dietB. wear a fitness trackerC. consult expertsD. record their heart rates8.Why does Jakicic think the findings are important?A. Wearing fitness trackers hardly helps people lose weight.B. Physical activity and diet have no effect on weight loss.C. Dealing with obesity needs effective long-term treatments.D. There are great differences in health between both groups.9.What can we infer about the study mentioned in the text?A. The study went on for about two years.B. More than 120 men took part in the study.C. Health consulting helps lose almost 6 kilograms.D. Wearing a fitness tracker is useful for keeping slim.10.The purpose of the text is to _______.A. describe how the researchers carried out the studyB. show regular consulting for weight control is necessaryC. persuade readers to wear fitness trackers for weight controlD. warn women are more likely to suffer from weight problems二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Be the friend everyone wants Some people seem to have a special talent for making friends．Being with them，you feel like you're the most interesting person in the world．How do these "friend magnets （磁铁）" do it？It's simple：they're truly interested in people．The people they meet feel important and special，so they return the favor by wanting to be their friends!

期中英语试卷题号I II III IV V VI总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共20.0分）AOne of the most popular American singers of the twentieth century was Elvis Presley. He made the rock 'n' roll music popular all over the world. He sold millions of records and made many successful films, and he helped change the direction of popular music in the 1960s.Elvis Presley was born in a poor family in 1935. His parents were simple country people who often took him to church, where he learned to sing, and he never forgot the kind of songs that he used to sing in church as a child.When he was young, Elvis moved from Toledo to Memphis in Tennessee, where he attended high school, but he was not a good student. His only real interest was singing. He began to sing in the style that is called "country and western".In 1995 he recorded some songs for his mother's birthday. The people at the recording studio liked his singing and his music. It was country and western music, but it also sounded a little like the music which black people used to sing in the American South. It was called "Blues". Shortly after that, Elvis met Tom Parker, who became his manager and arranged(安排) concert for him across the United States and new recording as well. Soon Elvis became famous around the country. Later Elvis went to Hollywood and began to appear in films such as Love Me Tender and King Creole.But Elvis found it difficult to live with success. Like many other famous people, he began to take drugs and his health started to suffer. When he died at an early age of 42 in 1977, millions of his fans were shocked, "The King Is Dead!" the newspaper said. But today his memory and his music live on and he will always be remembered as the King of Rock 'n' Roll.1.Who was Tom Parker in the text?A. Another famous singer.B. Elvis' manager.C. A manager of a big bank.D. Elvis' best friend since childhood.2.What caused Elvis' death?A. The pressure from his parents.B. Tom Parker's punishment.C. His taking drugs.D. His singing too much every day.3.What can we learn from the text?A. Elvis didn't get any help from his parents.B. Elvis forgot his church music at a later age.C. The church songs helped Elvis develop his singing.D. The church songs stopped Elvis from developing his own style.BAlthough it is often called the koala "bear", this lovely animal is not actually a bear at all. It is a marsupial (有袋目哺乳动物), and like kangaroos, a female koala carries her baby in her pouch (育儿袋) for about six months.Koalas live in four states only in eastern Australia, where the eucalyptus trees (桉树) they love are most plentiful. In fact, they rarely leave these trees, their sharp claws easily keeping them high up in the air.During the day they sleep for up to 18 hours. When not asleep, they feed on eucalyptus leaves, especially at night. Koalas do not drink much water and they get most of their water from these leaves. Each animal eats a large amount for its size—about two and a half pounds of leaves a day, even storing snacks of leaves in pouches.The koala bears were widely hunted during the 1920s and 1930s and their populations decreased suddenly. Helped by reintroduction, they have reappeared over much of their former range, but their populations are smaller. Koalas need a lot of space—about a hundred trees per animal—which is a pressing problem, as Australia's woodlands continue to get smaller because the trees they live on are being cut down to make farms. Also, forest fires, caused by heat waves, are destroying the forests the koalas live in.It has been estimated (估算) that there are only 100, 000 koalas left in the wild, with the lowest estimates being no more than 43, 000. The koala can only eat eucalyptus leaves and lives nowhere else except Australia, so in order to survive, human effect on its limited environment must be controlled, or this attractive creature faces certain extinction.4.Why are koalas in danger of dying out according to the text?A. Many of them died in the forest fire.B. They can't be used to the global warming.C. Their living environment is gradually being worsened.D. Farmers are burning the eucalyptus trees that koalas live on.5.What happened during the 1920s and 1930s?A. Koalas faced great danger.B. Koala got well protected.C. Koalas' population fell slowly.D. Koala had enough space to live in.6.What will the author most probably talk about next?A. How to increase koalas' population.B. How to make the best of the limited environment.C. How to help koalas get used to the new living environment.D. How to reduce human effect on koalas' living environment.CAround lunchtime today, my son and I were walking in our community's busy "downtown" area. We passed by a homeless man sitting on the street. Since I had no cash on me, all we could give him was a good wish. As we walked by my son asked me "Didn't you have any money to give him?" I said, "I don't have cash." But why don't we ask him if he would like something to eat?On our way back on that street after doing our errand (差事), we saw the same man and asked him if he would like us to get him some lunch. His face brightened up and when I asked what he would like, he just said "anything is fine". So then my son pointed to a rather fancy looking "Parisian café" type of place across the street and we decided to go in there. Well, of course, it was lunchtime and the place was packed! We stood in line for a while, looking at pastries (酥皮糕点) that I knew we were not going to buy. Then we decided on a hot sandwich for the homeless man.After ordering and paying by credit card, we sat and waited... and waited... and not a peep out of my son about why it was taking so long... after some unlucky events with the order and thepacking of a "to-go" box, we finally got out of there. My son said "I hope the man is still there!" And he was. And he was so happy (it took us so long, I'm sure he must have thought we weren't coming back)... it made our day. We came home, made ourselves some lunch, and enjoyed the rest of the afternoon.7.Why didn't the author give money to the homeless man?A. He was very poor, too.B. He hated the homeless man.C. He was unwilling to help the poor.D. He had no cash on him.8.What did the homeless feel when asked if he would like some lunch?A. Happy.B. Surprised.C. Concerned.D. Frightened.9.What does the underlined word "packed" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Conquered.B. Busy.C. Crowded.D. Reserved.10.What can be the best title for the text?A. A Sandwich.B. My Son and I.C. A homeless man.D. Lunchtime.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Whether you like it or not，as students，you have to live with roommates after going to school or university．Having a roommate can be one of the best experiences，or easily one of the worst．(1)Here are five tips for you to follow to avoid the common mistakes that make good roommate relationships worse．Talk things out．(2) If something happens，sit down with your roommates and have aface-to-face conversation．Complaining about your roommates behind their backs creates nothing but bad situations and general unhappiness．(3) Some roommates become the best of friends，and some don't．Don't put pressure on yourself or your roommate to reach this level，especially when you first meet．Remember，you are trying to make a new friend，not frighten your roommate away．And if you roommate doesn't end up being your best friend，there is no need to worry about it．Clean up after yourself．Or at least，keep your things on your side．(4) But being considerate （考虑周到的）with where you put your own stuff（东西）will help you avoid the arguments．Ask before you take．This applies to（适用于）food，clothes and anything else that you don't own．(5) Even if you both agree to share everything you should still ask．A．Don't expect to be best friends．B．Communication is of vital（至关重要的）importance．C．You don't need to keep the room clean and organized all the time．D．Rooms can be really easy for a mess to pile up．E．If you want to have a good relationship with your roommate，it all starts with you．F．Try to make your roommates your best friends．G．Show your roommate that you have respect for his or her things．11.
