1、2021-2022学年第二学期期末考试复习试卷（一）高一年级英语I. Listening Comprehension 20% 略II. Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the
2、given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Life Doesnt Just Happen to Us Being good at something and having a passion for it are not enough. Success depends mainly on our view of ourselves and of the events in our lives. When twelve-year-old John Wilson walked into his
3、 chemistry class on a rainy day in 1931, he had no way of knowing that his life was to change completely. The class experiment that day was to show (21)_ heating a container of water would bring air bubbling to the surface. Somehow, the container the teacher gave Wilson (22) (heat) mistakenly held s
4、omething more volatile(易挥发的) than water. When Wilson heated it, the container exploded, (23) (leave) Wilson blinded in both eyes. When Wilson returned home from hospital two months later, his parents attempted to find a way to deal with the disaster that (24) (happen) to their lives. But Wilson did
5、not regard the accident (25) _ a disaster. He learned braille(盲文) quickly and continued his education at Worcester College for the Blind. There, he not only did well as a student but also became an (26) (accomplish) public speaker.Later, he worked in Africa, (27) many people suffered from blindness
6、for lack of proper treatment. For him, it was one thing to accept his own fate of being blind and quite another to allow something to continue when it (28) be fixed so easily. Wilson did his best to prevent the preventable (29)_ _tens of millions in Africa and Asia could recover their sight.Wilson r
7、eceived several international awards for his great contributions. He lost his sight but found a vision. He proved that its not what happens to us (30) determines our lives- its what we make of what happens.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can
8、be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. readily B. standardized C. relatively D. average E. armedF. selection G. flexibility H. independent I. available J. challenged K. collectivelyChildren are our future, and its up to us to arm them with the tools to succeed. Sadly,
9、todays children are being _31_ with more dangerous tools like weapons, drugs and gangs. Once a _32_ peaceful environment, many schoolyards of today are becoming unsafe to both students and teachers.Home schools are _33_ to give you choices. Home schooling provides top-quality education, _34_, and fr
10、eedom to create your own schedule. At Heritage Home School we believe the choice should be yours.Home schooling information is becoming _35_ available across our nation thanks in part to modern technology. A recent study by the ITBS (Iowa Tests of Basic Skills) and TAP(Tests of Achievement and Profi
11、ciency) shows us that students of home schools do particularly well when compared with the nationwide _36_. In every subject at every grade level, students of home schooling scored obviously higher than those in public and private schools.If youre new to home schooling, you may be asking yourself, “
12、will home schools really work for my children?”Fact: A nationwide study using a casual _37_ of 1,516 families found students of home schooling to be scoring, on average, at or above the 80th percentile(百分位数) in all areas on _38_ achievement test.Note: The national average on the achievement tests is
13、 the 50th percentile.The staff at Heritage Home School,_39_, brings 65 years of experience in home schooling curriculum. Weve placed students in the top2% of the nation in math and many are successfully moving on to college.One study found that of the home schooled adults, 0% were unemployed, 0% wer
14、e on welfare and 94% said home education prepared them to _40_ persons.For more home schooling information, call us today toll free at 1(877)532-7665.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in
15、each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Never in recorded history has a language been as widely spoken as English is today. The reason why millions are learning it is simple: it is the language of international business and, _41_, the key to prosperity.David Graddol, the author
16、 of English Next, says it is _42_ to view the story of English simply as success for its native speakers in North America, Britain and Ireland, and Australasia-but that would be a mistake. Global English has entered a more complex stage, changing in ways that the English-speaking countries cannot co
17、ntrol and might not _ 43_.An important question one might ask is: whose English will it be in the future? Non-native speakers now _44_ native English speakers by three to one. The majority of encounters in English today take place between non-native speakers. According to David Graddol, many busines
18、s meetings held in English appear to run more smoothly when no native English speakers are _ 45_. This is because native speakers are often poor at ensuring that they are understood in international discussions. They tend to think they need to avoid longer Latin-based words, but in fact _46_ problem
19、s are more often caused by their use of idioms, metaphors, phrasal verbs, etc.Professor Barbara Seidlhofer, Professor of English and Applied Linguistic at the University of Vienna, records and transcribes spoken English interactions between speakers of the language around the world. She says her tea
20、m has noticed that non-native speakers are _47_ standard English grammar in several ways. Even the most experienced speakers sometimes omit the “s” in the third person singular. Many omit definite and indefinite articles where they are _48_ in standard English, or put them in where standard English
21、does not use them. Nouns that are not plural in native-speaker English are used as plurals by non-native speakers (e.g, “informations,” “knowledges,” “advices”). Other variations include “make a discussion,” “discuss about something,” or “phone to somebody.” Many native English speakers will insist
22、these are just _49_. “Knowledges” and “phone to somebody” are simply wrong. Many non-native speakers who teach English around the world would _50_. But language changes, and so do concepts of grammatical _ 51 _.Those who insist on standard English grammar remain in a(n) _52_ position. Academics who
23、want their work published in international journals have to obey the grammatical rules followed by native English-speaking elites (精英).But spoken English is another matter. Why should non-native speakers bother with what native speakers regard as correct? Their main aim, _53_, is to be understood by
24、 one another, and in most cases there is no native speaker present.Professor Seidlhofer says, “I think that what we are looking at is the _54_ of a new international attitude, the recognition and awareness that in many international contexts non-native speakers do not need to speak like native speak
25、ers, to compare themselves to them, and thus always feel _ 55_.”41. A. however B. therefore C. otherwise D. instead42. A. relieving B. shocking C. tempting D. disappointing43. A. accept B. oppose C. mind D. doubt44. A. outnumber B. overlook C. upgrade D. underestimate45. A. attentive B. agreeable C.

A. disappearance B. emergence C. criticism D. evaluation55. A. less good B. less lonely C. more alive D. more adaptedSection B Directions: Read the fo
28、llowing three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A) Things changed for Ben Southall when th
29、e Australian state of Queensland advertised a job for someone to look after Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef. They knew it sounded like the best job in the world, but they were surprised when over 35, 000 people applied for the job. Then they had to make a difficult decisionwhich person to
30、choose from so many candidates? After a lot of testing and interviewing, they announced 34-year-old Ben Southall from England as the winner. Ben now works for the Queensland Tourist Board and his job is to look after the island and to promote tourism there. Because of the unique nature of the job, t
31、he Tourist Board wanted a unique person, with a range of skills and qualities. It was a long interview process, involving a variety of tasks to find out about each candidate.Fitness was very important; swimming ability was particularly essential. Ben can swim very well and he also likes running, cli
32、mbing, diving and mountain biking. It is clear that, physically, he can do almost anything. The ability to communicate was as important as fitness. For the last part of interview process, the final sixteen candidates did various tests and tasks, including talking to TV and radio reporters. The compe
33、tition was tough and the candidates needed to show what they could do. The interviewers were interested in how the candidates performed in the tasks, how they handled the press attention and their ability to write about their adventures in a daily log. The candidates did their best to impress the in
34、terviewers and they knew they couldnt make any mistakes at this final stage.Before he went, Ben was confident about his abilities to handle the challenge. He couldnt do everything they asked him in the interview, as he cant speak any other language but he felt that his other skills and his personali
35、ty were impressive. He made a huge effort during the interview process and he was able to convince the interviewers that he was the best person for the job. Even so, he says he was amazed when he got the job; he couldnt believe it! He hopes to do a good job and promote the island successfully: he ha
36、s to get to know every part of the island and tell the world about it in numerous media interviews. When you read Bens blogs from his interview tasks, it is easy to see why they chose him. He is funny and easy-going and he will certainly get the attention of any potential tourist to this beautiful p
37、lace.56. According to the passage, Bens job includes the following EXCEPT _.A. drawing travellers attention to the island. B. going to Hamilton Island once a day.C. being interviewed in different media. D. knowing Hamilton Island very well.57. During the interview process, the candidates were asked
38、to _. A. go through a fitness training. B. take part in various TV shows. C. write about their own interviewers. D. communicate with the press. 58. Why was Ben chosen for the job? A. He used to be a swimming champion. B. He kept his personal blog very well. C. He is easy to get along with. D. He can
39、 speak several foreign languages. 59. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? A. Hamilton Island gets well protected. B. The funniest job in the world. C. Ben gets dream job. D. Tourism in Australia.（B）Life on the ISSWaking up Mission control wakes the crew up by turning on th
40、e lights at 6 a.m. The day starts the same as it would on Earth, with a trip to the bathroom. When you brush your teeth, the oddities of living in zero-gravity become clear. The toothbrush and the tube of toothpaste can be left to float in the air while you wet your brush with water that will stick
41、to its bristles (刷毛). After breakfast, the crew calls down to mission control for a planning conference to run through the days schedule.MaintenanceThen it is time for household chores. Most days, the ISS requires routine maintenance and safety checks. One day it might be disinfecting surfaces or mo
42、ving some supplies; another day could involve repairing an essential piece of equipment such as an air-filter (空气过滤器) on the Destiny module (舱).A visit to the gymOne of the main aims of the ISS is to discover how weightlessness affects the human body. We have known for some time now that astronauts
43、lose muscle strength in space and are more likely to break their bones once they return to Earth. To slow this process down, each crew member is required to exercise for at least two hours a day.MealtimesFood comes in several forms. Dehydrated (脱水的) meals come in small bags to which hot water is add
44、ed before they are eaten. Spices are also available, just like on the table back home.(But salt and pepper (胡椒粉) have been transformed into liquids. The station would otherwise be full of floating grains of salt.Experiments Each astronaut spends part of their day on experiments in the labs on the IS
45、S, so that scientists back on Earth can better understand how the conditions in space affect things. The experiments that the astronauts set up and record cover a wide range of disciplines. Mice,ants, fish and worms have all been sent to the station to see how zero-gravity affects their bodies and b
46、ehavior.Free time Once the crew has finished their scheduled tasks for the day, they are free to spend any remaining time they have left from their evening doing whatever activity they wish. Perhaps the most popular pastime among astronauts is to simply watch the Earth spinning silently below the st
47、ation from the cupola (小穹顶) on the Tranquility module.60. According to the article, ISS astronauts daily routine is different from ours on Earth in terms of the way they _.A. work out B. have their meals C. wake up D. do household chores61. According to the article, astronauts are NOT allowed to_ on
48、 the ISS.A. do experiments on live animalsB. add spices to their foodC. decide their own work schedulesD. carry out routine maintenance alone62. What can we learn from the article?A. The ISS acts as a scientific research laboratory in outer space.B. In the long run, zero-gravity doesnt have negative
49、 effect on the human body.C. Mission control is of little importance to the success of a space mission.D. Watching the Earth from the ISS arouses Astronauts homesickness.（C）What defines an eco-house? There are two features to take into consideration. Firstly, the energy efficiency and carbon emissio
50、ns associated with running the house, and then the type of construction materials used, their associated emissions and the raw materials required.At Baufritz, we have won awards relating to the sustainability of our houses. This is because as a company we decided to put environmental stewardship(照管)
51、 at the core of our values way back in the 1960s. So how do we do it?Heating is the biggest emissions factor for any house. It is really rather simple to solve this problem-make a house extremely energy efficient and it is no longer a factor. Ultra low energy houses have become known as Passive hous
52、es where a certain set of design characteristics improve efficiency.You need a very high level of insulation in the walls and roof. Glass should be suitably positioned to optimise solar gain（heat from the sun). The house needs to be very well engineered so no heat is lost through cracks or poorly fi
53、tted windows and doors. At Baufritz we manufacture Kit houses, and use Modern Manufacturing Methods in our factory to engineer our houses in a way that nothing leaks.We have also developed HOIZ insulation. Manufactured from natural wood waste products, HOIZ is placed between the inside and outside l
54、ayers of our timber framed houses to create the highest level of insulation. Our windows and doors use triple glazing to minimise heat loss. Overheating is one of the biggest challenges Passive houses face and our architects use some very clever ventilation systems to manage internal environmental c
55、onditions. All houses still have energy consuming appliances, but with the addition of solar for both electricity generation and water heating, the carbon footprint can be further reduced.Embedded carbon in building manufacturing materials such as concrete, as well as a historic tendency to send mat
56、erials to landfill, results in a high carbon footprint and natural resource exploitation. Baufritz addresses this problem in a number of ways. Our primary manufacturing material is wood. We source from sustainable certified forests where felled(砍到的) trees are replanted. In fact, we believe all build
57、ing materials should be as natural as possible. We say no to PU construction foams, chemical insulation materials, toxic adhesives and laminate flooring. A house constructed using only natural materials, creates a healthy living environment for its residents. As all our houses are manufactured in ou
58、r state-of-the-art factory, waste is kept to an absolute minimum. At end of life, our houses can be recycled. Today, demolition(拆除) firms clearing the site for the new build are able to recycle nearly all of the building materials, therefore closing the manufacturing loop.My house is old, so why is
59、this relevant? There are still lots of things which can be done. Improve your insulation. When your appliances expire based on efficiency, consider heat pumps instead of gas boilers and explore solar to deliver electricity and water heating. By designing and building houses to ultra low energy stand
60、ards, and by using natural sustainably sourced materials and recycling the waste products from our manufacturing processes, we are able to deliver Carbon Neutral Houses. This means the total carbon footprint throughout the life cycle of the houses is zero, which is why we call ourselves eco-house pi
61、oneers. All houses are prefabricated(预先建造) at their state-of-the-art factory in Erkheim, Germany and then assembled on site.63. According to the passage, which of the following is not associated with the sustainability of eco-houses?A. The raw materials used.B. Energy efficiency of the house. C. Car
62、bon emissions released by house designers. D. Construction materials used and its emissions.64. From the passage it can be inferred that Passive houses _. A. fail to optimise solar gain compared with Kit housesB. use more energy consuming appliances than Kit housesC. need to be carefully engineered
63、to trap the heatD. have less comfortable indoor environmental conditions than Kit houses65. Which of the following statements is true about the way Baufritz builds houses?A. House recycling is an additional service provided free by Baufritz. B. The houses are all manufactured in their factory so as
64、to reduce cost. C. Man-made materials are applied to reduce impact on the environment. D. Building materials are obtained from factories to ensure their quality. 66. The main purpose of the passage is to _. A. expand peoples knowledge of what eco-houses areB. explain the underlying values of eco-hou
65、sesC. advertise Baufritz, an eco-house builderD. argue for the existence of eco-housesSection C （8分）Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Other babies
66、 didnt have such large, pointed skulls.B. But nothing his father said made the invisible power seem less mysterious or wonderful.C. There was so much curiosity about the world that Albert was always by himself thinking hard.D. They were also filled with magnetism(磁性).E. Albert was ahead of his peers
67、 in different aspects.F. Alberts parents were amused by his confusion.Five-year-old Albert Einstein stared at his hand as if it held magic. Cupped in his palm was a small, round instrument with a glass cover and a jiggling needle. Alberts father called it a compass. Albert called it a mystery. No ma
68、tter how he moved the compass, the needle always pointed to the north. Quietly Hermann Einstein watched his son. Albert was a chubby little boy with pale, round cheeks and thick, black hair that was usually messy. His bright brown eyes were wide with discovery.Something was in the room with him, Alb
69、ert realizedsomething he couldnt see or feel, but that acted on the compass just the same. Deeply attracted, Albert listened to his father explain magnetism, the strange force that made the compass needle point north. 67 To many children the compass would have been just another toy. To Albert the co
70、mpass was a miracle he would never forget.But then Albert had always been different from other children. Born March 14，1879, in Ulm, Germany, Albert hadnt been looked like other babies. As she cradled（摇） her new son in her arms, Pauline Einstein thought the back of his head looked strange. 68 Was so
71、mething wrong with Albert? Although the doctor told Pauline everything was fine, several weeks passed before the shape of Alberts head began to look right to her.When Albert was one, his family moved to Munich，where his sister, Maja, was born a year later. Looking down at the tiny sleeping bundle, A
72、lbert was puzzled. Where were the babys wheels? Albert had expected a baby sister to be something like a toy, and most of his toys had wheels. 69 But any response at all would have delighted them. At an age when many children have lots to say, Albert seemed strangely backward. Hermann and Pauline wo
73、ndered why he was so late in talking. As Albert grew older, he continued to have trouble putting his thoughts into words. Even when he was nine years old, he spoke slowly, if he decided to say anything at all.But Albert was a good listener and a good thinker. Sometimes when he went hiking with his p
74、arents and Maja, he thought about his fathers compass and what it had showed to him. The clear, open meadows (草地) were filled with more than the wind or the scent of flowers. 70 The very thought of it quickened Alberts pulse. 第II卷（共21分）I.
