How many times have we expressed how rude young people are for texting while having a
conversation? They try to fix eyes on their smartphone screen while nodding. What goes through your
mind is “how rude they are!”
Have we forgotten some of the old school manners that our parents, grandparents, and teachers taught
us – manners that have nothing to do with a mobile device or iPad, but everything to do with铁人中学 2018 级高一学年上学期期末考试 英语 试题 考试时间: 2019 年 1 月 8 日

long-forgotten Golden Rules we were raised with?
When I was growing up, there was etiquette(礼仪) to coughing. When coughing, we were told to turn
our head away and block off our mouth. This might sound amusing to many young people. But if we
didn’t follow these etiquettes, we would get a quick reminder(提醒) to the back of our head. When we
were given something, and forgot to say “thank you”, elders would seriously remind us, “aren’t you
forgetting to say something”, which was immediately followed by a “thank you”.
Maybe technology has affected our brains so much that we can never go back to those golden days
we like. It seems as if we have thrown out manners and etiquette with the bathwater. Simple etiquette is
missing in society. A thank-you-note for a gift you have received all fall into the same box of manners.
People are just cold these days because we are on the run every day in the world.
In the work environment have you ever come across a sign: “Your mother doesn’t work here, clean
up by yourself”? We often hear people say, the younger generation have no manners. I think people in
general irrespective(无关的)of age have lost their manners. We’ve allowed bad manners to go unchecked.
We simply stand bad behavior.
In a world of more good manners, less closing of doors in our faces, more space given, and more
“thank you” or “please” exchanged, our younger generation will have an improved quality of life.
24. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To point out young people’s bad manners.
B. To introduce the main topics of the text.
C. To stress the importance of cell phone.
D. To explain the effect of cell phones on people.
25. In the passage, Golden Rules refer to_______.
A. modern family manners
B. rules observed at school
C. rules everyone has to follow
D. etiquette started by older generation
26. Based on the passage, when one person coughs, blocking off his mouth, __________.
A. the younger person will feel it necessary
B. the younger person will feel it funny
C. the older people will think little of him
D. the older people will teach him a lesson
27. According to the author, young people have no manners mainly because of ______________.
A. the parents and teachers’ improper act and attitude
B. the fast developed technology
C. the people’s attitude towards running away
D. the busy lifestyles people have
C
Car companies such as Tesla and Nissan have been leading the way in electric car technology. What
makes these car “green” is that because they run on electricity instead of gas, they do not give off any
polluting greenhouse gases. The Toyota Mirai is also a kind of green car, since it is powered by a hydrogen
fuel battery(氢燃料电池) .
Hydrogen, as you know, exists in large quantities on the earth. It was used to power gaslights for
centuries before electric lights came along. Hydrogen fuel can be made from many sources including water,
natural gas and even rubbish. As for energy contained, 9.5kg of hydrogen is similar to 25kg of gas.
According to Toyota, the two tanks on the Mirai hold 5kg of hydrogen, and can cover a distance of over
300 miles. This is twice the output of gas cars.
In a hydrogen fuel battery, the one proton (质子)and one electron in a hydrogen atom(原子) are
broken up. While the electrons power the car, the hydrogen protons work with the oxygen atom to produce
water. At the same time, it also produces a lot of heat which turns this water into water vapor. This is the
reason why cars running on hydrogen fuel batteries give off water vapor from their exhaust pipes when
running.
According to Toyota, it takes only 5 minutes to refill a hydrogen tank, which is much quicker than
charging ( 充 电 ) electric cars. However, the biggest difficulty for the company is the availability of
hydrogen-charging stations. California and the New England states are in the process of building a
hydrogen superhighway -- with charging stations along the way. Countries like Germany, Japan and UK
are also adding more charging stations.
The Toyota Mirai will be available in the U.S. in the second half of 2015 for $ 58,000. This
hydrogen-fueled car will probably take the place of gas cars in the near future. After all, it is an
energy-saving and environment-friendly car.
28. According to the text, nowadays hydrogen _________.
A. is mostly used as a fuel for cars and gaslights
B. is a newly-discovered energy source
C. provides more energy than the same amount of gas
D. will soon become the main fuel for most of Toyota’s cars
29. The third paragraph is mainly about __________.
A. water vapor and weather
B. how the Toyota Mirai works
C. different kinds of batteries
D. why hydrogen is very popular
30. What can we learn about the Toyota Mirai?
A. It runs on both gas and hydrogen.
B. It will soon take place of electric cars.
C. It may sell well with more charging stations around.
D. It gives off only a few polluting greenhouse gases.铁人中学 2018 级高一学年上学期期末考试 英语 试题 考试时间: 2019 年 1 月 8 日

31. The underlined word in paragraph 4 can be replaced by ________?

When it comes to making healthy lifestyle changes, which should come first – changing your diet or
becoming more physically active?
Previous studies suggested that providing people with too much information about nutrition(营养)
and physical activity at once tends to be discouraging. That has led to the popularity of advising people to
make changes gradually, and set smaller goals.
So the scientists divided 200 inactive participants who were 45 or older into four groups. One group
was instructed in making diet and exercise changes at the same time; the second group was taught about
diet changes followed by exercise changes four months later; the third group changed their exercise habits
first and made changes in their eating habits four months later; and the final control group was not
instructed in either diet or exercise changes but in how to manage their stress.
The researchers tracked the groups for a full year. Compared to the control group, the three
intervention(干预)groups made healthy changes in their diet. Those who changed their exercise habits first
significantly increased the amount of exercise they received daily compared to the other groups after four
months. However, at the end of the year, the group that changed both diet and exercise at the same time
was the only one that met the national goals for both exercise and nutrition levels, while those who worked
on improving their nutrition first were unable to meet the levels of fitness after a year. The researchers
think that changes to diet are easier to make than changes to physical activity.
The findings show, however, that pairing(使成对) diet and exercise changes may help to overcome
some of the difficulty people face in adding more physical activity into their lives. If people change diet
first and then exercise, the scientists say, they may end up placing more importance on the first set of
behavior changes and feel less active to go on the second set.
32. How is paragraph 3 developed?
A. By giving examples.
B. By providing statistics.
C. By showing causes and effects.
D. By making classifications.
33. Which group was the most physically active after four months?
A. The first group.
B. The second group.
C. The third group.
D. The final group.
34. What might the scientists agree with?
A. Changing eating habits first may be reasonable.
B. Diet and exercise changes should be done at the same time.
C. Diet and exercise changes are hard to make.
D. Diet and exercise changes should be made orderly.
35. Which of the following is probably the title of the passage?
A. Timing Matters in Making Diet and Exercise Changes
B. Ways to Lead a Healthy and Balanced Life
C. Making Healthy Lifestyle Changes Really matters
D. Changing Your Habits for Better Health

If you’re a first-time language learner, you know that emotional ups and downs is a normal situation.
When you understand a concept or begin to comprehend the language, you may experience feelings of
excitement. However, those are often followed by moments of disappointment and discouragement, during
which you might feel as if you will never master the concepts and achieve the ability to understand and
communicate effectively. ____36____
Learn vocabulary effectively
Vocabulary is the most important part of communication. The more words you know, the more you
can say and understand. The absolute best way to learn vocabulary is through the use of flash cards that
you make yourself. Buy a set of 3*5 index cards(索引卡片)and cut them in half. _____37_____If you
want to learn more information about the word, e.g. plural forms of nouns and principle parts of verbs, you
can add these to the cards.
____38_____
Research shows that language students learn more effectively and acquire more when they study
frequently and for shorter periods of time than if they study infrequently for extended periods of time.
____39____ This means, doing a few homework exercises each day rather than doing all homework the
night before they are due.
Practice language actively
____40____ Say vocabulary words out loud, read messages in the text aloud, do pronunciation
activities orally and not just mentally. Write out the answers to activities rather than gliding through them
in your mind. Read aloud entire sentences in an activity rather than just reading a fill-in response. Turning
language from your mind to your mouth is a skill that requires a great deal of practice.
A. Break study time into smaller periods.
B. Then use flash cards as a learning tool.
C. Try to study each day, and several times a day.
