高一英语

第一部分 听力(共两节, 满分30分)

第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节,满分40分)
第一节：(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works.A young couple ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk. I admired the husband’s patience for her continuous talk. Distracted(心烦意乱的) by their noise, I moved on.I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant words, I moved away quickly.
I was standing at the counter(收银台) of the museum gift shop when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended it into a long stick and then carefully went into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.
“He’s a brave man.” The clerk at the counter said, “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. But he made a promise that his life wouldn't change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”
“But what dose he get out of the art?” I asked, “He can’t see.”
“Can’t see? You're wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”
I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.
21. The young couple was at an art museum ________.
A. to show their love   B. to enjoy paintings  C. to discuss paintings  D. to describe paintings
22. “…I moved away quickly.” in Paragraph 3 shows that the writer ________.
A. was in the hope of visiting more rooms  
B. was in a hurry to buy some gifts
C. was tired of the nonstop talking   
D. was not interested in the art show
23. After hearing what the clerk had said about the couple, the writer was ________.
A. encouraged    B. excited    C. touched   D. annoyed
24. The passage is mainly about ___________.
A. the importance of art      B. good manners in public
C. patience of a husband      D. love between a couple
B
The government in China plans to end its one-child policy and let　families have two children instead. The plan was announced on Thursday after high –level political　meetings in Beijing. A Chinese Communist Party statement gave a　number of reasons for the change in policy. The statement said the
change is meant to balance population development, stop a falling birth rate( 出生率) and　strengthen the country’s labor force(劳动力).
China, with the largest population in the world, started the one –child policy in 1980. But the
government allowed only a small number of couples to have two children. For example, some
families in the countryside could have two children, if the first-born child is a girl.
In 2013, the Chinese government gave other couples a chance to have two children if one of
them was an only child.
Jiang Quanbao, a teacher and population expert, explained how Chinese families react to the
newest policy. “Too many young people in the cities are no longer interested in having a second
child,” he said. “People in the countryside are more interested. But some of them are already
allowed to have two children. ”
At the end of 2014, China had a population of 1.37 billion people. A total of 800 million of
them have jobs. But the labor market population will drop in 35 years. That is to say, the country
will be in great need of labor by the year 2050. With the two-child policy, an increase in births can
solve this problem.
25. Why does the government plan to end the one-child policy?
A. Because we need a larger population.
B. Because millions of people have jobs.
C. Because most families want to have a second child.
D. Because a falling birth rate must be stopped.
26. How do most young people in the cities react to the two-child policy?
A. They support the policy. 　 B. They don’t think it is good.
C. They’re very interested. 　 D. They’re not interested any more.
27. When will our country be seriously short of labor if the one-child policy continues?
A. In 2015. 　B. In 2035. 　C. In 2050. 　D. In 2070

28. What may happen after we have the two-child policy?
A. There will be more old people.
B. The labor market population will drop.
C. Almost every family will have a second child.
D. The population development will be balanced.

How Can I Fight Laziness?
Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
36 Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 37
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. 38 Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. 39 Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated（积极的） people.
40 Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
A. Knowing how to fight laziness is important
B. To fight family laziness, set an example.
C. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
D. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
E. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.
F. Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind.
G. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.
