高中2022—2023学年第一学期期中考试高一英语  试卷（时间120分钟，满分120分） 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）第一节    （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。AEmily Urich  18 years old  CanadaA 1ot of teens aren’t responsible, and that’s where I’m different. Not just about school but everyday things, like being able to pay my own credit card（信用卡）bills on time. The first time I got a cartoon book was on my third birthday. From then on, I fell in deep love with it. And can you guess how many cartoon books I’ve read? I don’t really know the exact number. But I have three full boxes of them under my bed.  Joe Miller  16 years old  AmericaI’m proud of doing things in my own way. So whenever somebody wants me to do something or whatever it is, I feel like they’re all other people’s thoughts, not really mine. But like others, I love reading, too.When I first took skiing lessons, I found it exciting. For skiing racing, there’s no question that I’m better than most boys. I think it’s fun. I mean, it is a challenge. It’s where I picked up the idea of needing a challenge always in my life. In order to improve my skiing skills, I have read many books and magazines about it.  An Qi  15 years old  ChinaI’m different because I prefer to drop out of the world to create my own world. I’d like to build a house on a mountain. And I choose to live without electricity, a telephone, or even indoor plumbing(水管装置).I have many hobbies such as traveling, reading, writing and spending time with children. I love children because they are smart and creative. They always have many strange ideas. It makes me excited.I want to do something for Hope Project and become a country school teacher. 21. Which hobby do the three students all have?    A. Writing.       B. Skiing.      C. Traveling.   D. Reading.22. According to Emily, we can infer that ______.    A. other people trust her            B. she does sports at weekends    C. she laughs at other people     D. she gets up late on Sundays23. We know that Joe Miller ______.    A. doesn’t like to follow others        B. thinks skiing is too dangerous    C. does well in drawing cartoons        D. enjoys living somewhere quietly24. An Qi wants to be a country school teacher because ______. A. she wants to travel    B. her parents are teachers C. she loves children    D. she comes from the countryside BIf you think you have two left feet but would love to be a good dancer, then why not try your hand at dancing?That’s exactly what I did five years ago, and I immediately fell in love with dancing. To me, dancing is a magical experience: I’ve become fitter, look younger and feel more confident. I enjoy it so much that I will never give up this healthy pastime.It’s very sociable as well. You meet people and make new friends while dancing the night away. Haven’t you heard stories about how dancing inspired new romances or rekindled (重燃) old ones? My friends Joe and Rena just had their big day a few weeks ago after they met each other at a Ceroc workshop some three years before.The word “Ceroc” comes from the French language. Without the complicated footwork, it is easier to pick up by beginners. Another good thing about Ceroc is that while it is a partner dance, you don’t have to bring a dancing partner.Other popular styles of dancing in the UK include ballroom, belly dancing, lindy hop, salsa, tango and tap dancing, just to name a few.No matter what types of dancing you do, one thing is for sure: you will become fitter. For office workers like me, dancing is good cardio exercise after a long day sitting in front of the computer screen. It also strengthens your muscles, improves your coordination(协调) and increases your physical confidence.Few people will end up being queens of the dance floor. The aim is not to win a competition but to enjoy the interaction(交流). As long as you do the right moves, keep the rhythm and most importantly keep an encouraging smile to your dancing partners, you will always be a winner! 25. What do we know about the writer?A. He has 2 left feet and dance with hands.B. He learns magic while dancing.C. He becomes younger after dancing.D. He shows a keen interest in dancing.26. The writer mentions her friend’s big day in order to ______.A. suggest that marriage is good for young peopleB. show that dancing can help social relationshipC. prove that dancing makes people more beautifulD. introduce two very good dancers to readers27. Which of the following is TRUE about Ceroc?A. It’s a dance organization.    B. It’s a dance starting from France.C. It’s a dance suitable for beginners.  D. It’s a popular ballroom dance.28. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To introduce some types of dancing to the readers.B. To prove the benefits of dancing to the readers.C. To indicate the importance of dancing in social relationship.D. To show the connection between dancing and health. CIf you do not use your arm or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame (受责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is the whole time being exercised. Therefore, if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering. 29. The main reason why one has poor memory is that ________.    A. his father or mother may have a poor memory   B. He does not use his arms or legs for some time   C. his memory is not often used   D. he can’t read or write30. Which of the following is NOT true?    A. Your memory works in the same way as your arms or legs.   B. Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you don’t give it enough chance for practice.   C. Don’t learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory.   D. A good memory comes from more practice.31. Which is the best title for this passage?    A. Don’t Stop Using your Arms or Legs   B. How to Have a Good Memory   C. Strong Arms and Good Memories   D. Learn from the People DWhen I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.    “We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”     I thought this was strange. Finally, I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought ‘VACANCIES’ meant ‘holidays’, because the Spanish word for ‘holidays’ is ‘vacaciones’. So they did not go to houses where the sign (标牌) outside said ‘VACANCIES’, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to houses where the sign said ‘NO VACANCIES’, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!     We laughed about this and about the mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word ‘DIVERSION’ means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word ‘DIVERSION’ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.     English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris when someone offered me some more coffee, I said ‘Thank you’ in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that ‘Thank you’ in French means ‘No, thank you.’ 32. The author’s Spanish friends wanted advice about ______.   A. learning English                     B. finding places to stay in England   C. driving their car on English roads        D. going to England by car33. The author suggested that they stay at bed and breakfast houses because ______.   A. they would be able to practise their English   B. it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels   C. it would be convenient for them to have dinner   D. there would be no problem about finding accommodation there34. If you see a road sign that says ‘Diversion’, you will ______.   A. fall into a hole                      B. have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself   C. find that the road is blocked by crowds of people   D. have to take a different road35. When someone offered the author more coffee and she said ‘Thank you’ in French, she ______.    A. didn’t really want any more coffee     B. wanted them to take the coffee pot away    C. really wanted some more coffee       D. wanted to express her politeness 第二节 七选五阅读理解（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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项。请将答案按题号涂到相应的答卷题号上。Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a better student in several ways.   36   .
