高一英语试题

Living abroad to study can certainly be an interesting experience but is that alone a good enough reason for spending years far away from home? To make the experience truly worthwhile, there has to be a goal behind the decision to study abroad. This may be a wish to perfect language skills in a foreign language environment, or a clever move in your career development. You must also consider the costs, not just of living and studying abroad, but of applying. Most universities now charge application fees for international students.

If after considering these points you are sure that you want to apply to study abroad, your next step is to choose the right programme of studies. Research your choices and select carefully. You must do your homework well. Most universities have information online but you can also email and ask them to send you more details. You can find a lot of information on school ranking from education websites. But read carefully. Different universities emphasize different strengths. Don’t just think about the university’s reputation; look for the most suitable for your goals.

Next, you must deal with a large pile of paperwork. This involves filling in application form, preparing your school records, and getting reference letters. Reading the instructions and requirements of the universities carefully is of great importance. Sadly, many fine applicants get kicked out in the first round, simply because they don’t follow the application procedure properly.

Money is another important consideration. Some scholarships are provided by governments, others by schools and colleges. This information, again, can be found on the Internet. If you find a scholarship that is suitable for you, follow the application procedure carefully; the earlier you apply, the better your chance of getting it.

73. According to the article, studying abroad is truly worthwhile because ______.

   A. it is an interesting experience               B. it is fun to travel around the world

   C. it is a chance to develop your career         D. all your friends are doing so

74. A school ranking list tells you ______.

   A. how much the courses cost                 B. the names of all the professors

   C. how good the school is compared to others D. where the school is located

75. What are the three basic steps when you apply?

   A. Buy an airplane ticket, read the instructions and requirements, and study.

   B. Prepare reference letters, prepare school records, and fill in the application form.

   C. Prepare school records, do paperwork, and work hard.

   D. Write a reference letter, do paperwork, and study.

76. The underlined phrase “get kicked out in the first round” in Paragraph 3 means ______.

Everyone knows that good time management skills are important to students if you want to do well in school.  36  The skills listed below are quite important.

You should have the ability to say “no”. A party this weekend? A cool club to join? An overnight trip on Saturday? A quick pizza with your classmates that turns into 3 hours of just hanging out? Learning to say “no” can save you a lot of time. But it is not easy to say “no”. You should develop some good skills in saying “no”.  37  .

You shouldn’t spare time for all the fun activities. High schools are amazing because there is always something fun for you to take part in. Unfortunately, you cannot spend time on all of the fun activities.   38     You can go there when you finish your homework. In this way, you needn’t feel guilty about enjoying yourself.

  39   Some students like putting off things. This is a bad habit. You may end up with too many tasks one day. If you have a task, don’t wait to get started until the last week, because you may not know what to do at all if you have too many tasks and you may end up in crisis.

  40   Staying up a little too late? Maybe not eating a healthy dinner every night of the week? In order to keep in good health, you have to check on time so as to be energetic. Practicing a little self-care can really go a long way towards making sure you can have enough passion (激情) for your work with your limited time while in school.

A. You should keep your health in check.

B. Choose the one that you like most.

C. Try your best to get rid of your bad habits.

D. You should avoid putting off your tasks.

E. But what skills are needed for good time management?

F. Here are some tips to help you learn to say "no".

G. It is very good for your time management.

  Most cars have seat belts as part of their equipment. Seat belts protect drivers and passengers in case of accidents. They also reduce the effect of a crash on the body.    36    Worldwide, the devices have protected up to a million people.

America first recognized the invention of an automobile seat belt in 1849. The government gave a patent to an engineer named Edward Claghorn of New York City so that others would not copy his invention of a safety device.   37     This early version of safety belt was said to include hooks and other attachments for securing the person to a fixed object.

Other inventors followed with different versions of the seat belt.   38      It resulted from the work of a Swedish engineer, Nils Bohlin. His three-point, lap and shoulder seat belt first appeared on cars in Europe 50 years ago.

Nils Bohlin recognized that both the upper and lower body needed to be held securely in place. His invention contained a cloth strap(带子)that was placed across the chest and another strap across his hips.   39   

Volvo was the first company to offer the modern seat belt to its cars. This company also provided use of Nils Bohlin's design to other car-makers.

    40    He received a gold medal from the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences in 1995. He died in Sweden in 2002.

A. The Swedish engineer won many honors for his seat belt.

B. Claghorn was a promising young engineer with many honors all his life.

C. The design joined the straps next to the hip.

D. There are many companies adopting Nils Bohlin's invention of the belt.

E. Safety experts say that seat belts save thousands of lives a year in America alone.

F. But more than 100 years passed before the current seat belt was developed.

G. Claghorn called his invention a safety belt.

A Leap(跳跃)to Honor

   Leaping on a narrow balance beam(平衡木) is not easy. But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old gymnast, is an expert at it.

   To perfect her skills, Lola   41   for four hours a day, five days a week. At the state championships in March, she finished seventh out of 16 girls. That’s especially impressive, 42   she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift (转移) constantly. She often sees double and can’t     43     how far away things are.

   When she was little, her mom    44     that even though she couldn’t see   45  , she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the     46   

right away and gymnastics became her favorite.

   Though learning gymnastics has been more   47  for her than for some of her tournaments(锦标赛), she has never quit(放弃). She doesn’t let her    48    stop her from doing anything that she wants to. She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest    49   is the balance beam. Because she has double vision, she often sees two beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to     50  your mind that it’ll take you where you want to go,” says Lola.

   To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most    51   for anyone because it’s only four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn’t   52     the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10 — her highest score yet.

Lola doesn’t want to be   53  differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions, the judges don’t know about her vision     54   . She doesn’t tell them, because she doesn’t think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her    55   attitude.

   Lola never thinks about   56    . She is presently at level 7 while the highest is level 10 in
gymnastics. Her  57   is to reach level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to          58   what she’s learned to other kids when she grew up.

   Lola is   59  of all her hard work and success. She says it has helped her overcome problems in her life outside gymnastics, too. Her     60    for others is “just believe yourself ”.

Don't you just love ice skating every winter?I am sure that since winter is approaching,your skates are set to come out,just waiting to be used.Impress your friends with your new trick on how to ice-skate backwards with the help of these tips.

Stand Straight

The first thing that you need to do is,stand straight.If you feel that you are falling backwards,just put your chin up and slightly bend your knees.

Confidence is What You Need

The most important step while learning how to skate backwards,is having enough confidence in what you are doing.How can you achieve this?By practice.Just practice rolling backwards down a gentle slope everyday or just by pushing off from a wall or something of that sort.But before you do that,make sure that the place where you are practicing is free from any kind of debris(碎片)because otherwise,you could land up in the hospital due to some accident.While going backwards,just get used to the feeling of moving backwards.One of the important ice skating tips and techniques is that if you feel that you are losing your balance,then scissor(做剪式运动)your skates.Keep practicing this till you are confident about it. 

Maintain Speed

Confident now?Great!Now the next step is to maintain your speed.While rolling in a straight line with one skate, with the other try sculling(划桨),that is,keep pushing yourself backwards with an outwards stroke(滑动).Make sure that you put most of your weight on the skate which is moving straight and not the one with which you are sculling.Now,try the same thing using the other foot.Again keep doing this till you are confident enough. 

Increase Your Speed Now

Once you are confident that you can scull with either foot,the next thing that you have to do is increase your speed.Try some of your own tricks now.Scull with either foot or with both at the same time. 

Scull and Be Aware

While you keep one foot straight,keep sculling with the other.You can do that with both feet at the same time. Concentrate on what you are doing but don't get so absorbed,that you don't see where you are going.If you are not watching your back,you might bang(碰撞)against something or someone.

   Success doesn’t begin until you begin the walk down the way towards your goals. And your walk down the way always begins first with a baby step. Why do we call them baby steps? Are they really anything more than our next step down life’s way? 

Baby steps are the first steps we take as an act of faith. We see others stepping out and we want to show our ability to walk by following them. As we grow, we continue our development by taking extra baby steps. Sometimes we fall; sometimes we fail. After that, all steps become an act of faith; we just become more practiced. If you say to yourself “I don’t want to make a fool of myself” or “I’d better be good at this”, you’ll probably never take the baby steps towards your goals and end up lying in your own self-pity. 

As a culture, we focus on results. We think about every risk that must be taken to reach our goals. There are few people who are excellent performers of any tasks the first time they try them. They fail and succeed. Then, they build upon their abilities learned each time. They practice their skills and use their talents through baby steps before they are ready to prove them to the whole world. 

So, learn to take those baby steps to reach the goals before you. Know that you can depend on God to show you the way. As you become more experienced, your baby steps become a walk, then a jump, and finally a sprint. That’s how our baby steps lead us through the marathon of life. 

33. In the third paragraph, the writer expresses the view that   . 

A. we can’t expect to succeed without working hard at first

B. adults should learn from babies in dealing with hard tasks

C. we must make full use of our skills in order to get rewards

D. baby steps play the key role in leading us towards success

34. The underlined word “sprint” in the last paragraph probably means“   ”. 

A. slow rush       B. sudden stop

C. hard climb                D. fast run

35. What’s the writer’s tone in the text? 

A. Light-hearted.             B. Regretful. 

C. Encouraging.             

D. Concerned.

When I was twelve years old, my family were the first black people to move into an all white part of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Many of our new neighbors weren’t very welcoming. Some of them said angrily that we should return to the place where we came from. The children sometimes threw stones at me or drove me home from school.

Most of my teachers simply took no notice of me, but not Dorothy Bean, my history teacher. Miss Bean was angry at how badly I was being treated, but she didn’t say this to me. Miss Bean showed her respect for me by teaching me just like anyone else. Instead of being unnoticed, I was given a chance to show that I was clever. Miss Bean was the first teacher who ever made me think for myself. She always wanted to know what I thought about difficult questions. Was Thomas Jefferson right to buy Louisiana from France? Why? She expected me to have my own idea. Miss Bean was teaching me that thinking for oneself was the real key to education.

One day, when I was not paying attention in class, Miss Bean suddenly threw an eraser at me. The eraser hit me right on the hand and sent my pencil flying. The whole class were very surprised at first, then started laughing. This event became famous in the school, because it happened to me, the students wanted to get to know me.

LONDON—An 18-year-old author has received a400,000 advance for her first novel, one of the biggest deals for a young author in British publishing history. 

     Helen Oyeyemi, a first-year student at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, is now one of the British outstanding authors.

     Ms Oyeyemi struck a two-book deal with Bloomsbury after the publisher was impressed by her novel The Icarus Girl. The story concerns Jessamy, an eight-year-old girl who, while on a visit to relatives in Nigeria, meets Tilly, a friend whom only she can see. Their relationship is friendly at first but becomes darker as it appears that Tilly is a ghost who wants Jessamy's body for her own.

In an interview, the Nigerian-born author said she was astonished that her novel would become a hit. "I had to sign the contract(合同) between my exams. It was on the day of my theology A level," she said.

Ms Oyeyemi, whose father is a teacher and whose mother is training to become a driver for London Underground, began writing at the age of seven.

"I rewrote Little Women so that Laurie married Jo because I thought that was a better ending."

She began writing The Icarus Girl last year when she was in the sixth form of Notre Dame School. Her agent (代理), Wade, showed the book to Alexandra Pringle, editor-in-chief at Bloomsbury, who is also Donna Tartt's editor. "The prose sings immediately right from the first page," Ms Pringle said.

Ms Oyeyemi does not believe that she will become a full-time writer, however. "I don't think that many people can do that these days," she said. "I would quite like to be a literary agent. "

59.Which of the following statement is true according to the article?

     A. Oyeyemi was trained to be a writer at the age of seven.

     B. Ms Pringle did not think well of Oyeyemi’s novel at first.

      C. Bloomsbury did not decide to publish two books of Oyeyemi.

60. What is the publisher’s reaction to the girl’s novel The Icarus Girl?

A. He disliked it.                      B. He ignored it. 

C. He was attracted by it.               D. He was frightened by it.

61. According to what she has said, Helen would ________.

A. not keep writing novels                B. work in the library

C. get into publishing                   D. not devote all her time to writing

62. This article is probably seen ________.

Five Ways Animals Help Us Live a Happier life

Have you ever thought about the role of pets on this planet? They are not just animals; they’re creatures of God that make us feel happier in this world.There are several way pets can help us live a happier life.

Pets are the most devoted creatures

    36    Old and wise people often joke that if you want to find a real friend and be sure that they’ll never betray(背叛you, then start keeping a pet.

They teach us to become better

Pets are very sensitive and wise creatures.    37    Unlike people, animals don’t create problems out of nothing. They are free of negative thoughts and inner pain. Their pure hearts are made for loving their owners. People should learn to love, care and smile selflessly, like their pets usually do.

    38    

It may seem strange, but pets have the power to heal both physical and mental human disorders. Thousands of real stories prove their healing ability. It’s scientifically proved that many pets, especially cats can feel the emotions of their owners and soothe physical and mental pain.

They make us more organized

I must confess that several years ago I was a bit unorganized person.    39    When Johnson appeared in my life, I became more organized, because I felt myself responsible for his life. All kinds of pets require a lot of attention and care. That’s why their owners should be more active in order to bring up a wonderful and healthy pet.

Pets can feel danger and save us

The research proves that pets can feel danger in advance. Pets begin to behave strange when they feel danger, trying to give their owners a sign that something terrible is going to happen.     40     

    A. Whenever you are in a bad mood, pets are always there for you.

    B. If you’re a responsible person, but suffer from lack of self-organization, then keep a pet.

    C. I found it difficult to manage my time and live according to the schedule.

    D. Pets can heal the wounds of our soul and body

    E. Nowadays I meet more and more people totally disappointed in human friendship and love.

    F. It seems to me that they know the truth of life.

    G. That’s why owners should be more attentive to notice the signs given by their pets

That morning, Bruce, one of Horton’s neighbors, was on a walk in the area when she found Yogi running    54   . She knew him as a calm and    55    dog. He rushed toward her, then away, seeming to beg for her    56   . She    57    Yogi.

Then Horton heard the sound of    58   . Yogi ran toward him. Bruce, who was right behind him, saw Horton’s condition and called for help. Horton was sent to    59  .

Arthur Miller (1915—2005) is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists (戏剧家) of the 20th century. Miller's father had moved to the USA from Austria­Hungary, like so many others driven by the “Great American Dream”. However, he experienced severe financial (财务的) hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s.

Miller's most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American society, with its aggressive (侵略的) way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with this system. Willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment (情感): if he can't do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.

When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.

Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February 10, 2005, the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.
