She said, “You have 41 that the needs of the people who come here must be purely physical: poverty, hunger or 42 shelter?

These young people are joined by 4-5 young people from 3-4 other nationalities and are a wonderful intercultural experience in a safe environment. Example Youth Exchanges: Youth Exchange 1 Location:Ireland Other nationalities:Ireland, Spain, Italy, Hungary Theme:Focuses on the topic of community reconstruction and community activities-exploring how local issues facing our communities are connected to global issues. The group will also learn about the eco-village as an example of a community and take part in team-building activities.

This project will take place in a natural park,where the group will take part in gardening activities and games/workshops about continuous development.

Over 10 days, the group will participate in activities to raise awareness about the effect of our behavior on the environment. 51. What do you focus on when travelling in France ? A. Civil rights B. Gardening work. C. Developing social inclusion. D. Rebuilding communities 52. If you are interested in protecting the environment, you can take part in _________? A. Youth Exchange 1 B. Youth Exchange 2 C. Youth Exchange 3 D. Youth Exchange 4 53. Which nationality are Youth Exchanges most popular with ? A. Italy B. Spain C. Ireland D. France B My name is Sara. When I was little, I played the drums. I also had a guitar. In fourth grade, I started playing the trombone(长号). I practised about four hours a week. All of this might not seem like a big deal for a lot of kids, but there’s something about me that makes me a bit different from others. I was born without hands. Since I was about one year old, I’ve worn prosthetics(假肢). This year, I got an invitation to join the high school marching band(行进管乐队). I told my mom I wanted to do it. But I had an instructor who thought I would not be able to march in the band—not because it was a high school band and I was only in seventh grade, but probably because my body was different. All I wanted was to show that I could do it, so I joined the band. And it paid off ! Music gives me energy. That happens sometimes. One time I was so down, I didn’t even want to get out of bed. Then I hit my MP3 player by accident. A song came on, and I got up and started dancing. It helped me say to myself, “OK, I can get through today.” Around my musician friends, we all share the same problems, like working out how many beats there are in a measure(小节). I have a hard time counting the beats, but so do a lot of the other kids. It’s a normal problem that we musicians share. When I’m with the band, I don’t feel as different as I do in other situations. It’s just another way that music makes me want to go on, and not to just sit down by myself and not care about life. 54. In what way is Sara different from other kids? A. She knows how to play many instruments. B. There’s something wrong with her body. C. She learned to play the drums at a very early age. D. She kept playing the trombone for the longest hours. 55. When invited to join the marching band, Sara________. A. believed that she would make it B. had no idea what to do C. followed the instructor’s advice D. said no at first 56. How does Sara probably feel when she’s with the band? A. Bored   B. Afraid C. Successful D. Relaxed 57. What would be the best title for the text? A. My Love for Music B. A Young Drummer C. A High School Band D. My Magic Hands C There are many useful suggestions and pieces of advice that can help one to improve English. Here are some useful suggestions and new tips to increase one’s English language vocabulary. Learning English vocabulary is about much more than just learning the right words. A broad grasp of vocabulary in the English language is based on understanding important expressions. Learning a word will not help very much if you quickly forget it. Research shows that it takes from 10 to 20 repetitions to really make a word part of your vocabulary. Since most words are learned from how they are used in context, the more words one is shown, the better vocabulary one will have. Keep a piece of paper close to you. When you read, pay more attention to the word you do not know, write the word down and try to figure out its meaning from the context. Then look up the word in a dictionary. Remember that if you do not use English words that you have just learned in conversation or writing, you will forget them very quickly. So the best way to learn new words effectively is just by trying to use them in conversation and writing. Remember also that practice is the key to fluent spoken English. Building vocabulary is a life-long task. Remember, “In the beginning was the word.” Your future could depend on how rich your vocabulary is. It will also determine the quality of your communication. 58. We can learn from the passage that learning English vocabulary . A. requires one to understand important expressions B. is about remembering more and more words C. doesn’t require one to learn expressions D. is just about learning the right words 59. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. If you remember a word, you are still able to forget it if you don’t use it. B. To master a word, you need to repeat it 10-20 times. C. Practice is very important in fluent spoken English. D. It doesn’t take long to build one’s vocabulary. 60. The best way to learn new words is . A. reading them loudly over and over again B. writing them down over and over again C. always looking them up in the dictionary D. trying to use them while speaking and writing 61. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to enrich your English vocabulary B. How to have a good conversation in English C. Why context is important in learning English D. How to improve the quality of communication D Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence (智力) developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied circumstances. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.   It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随机地) from the population,it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical (完全相同的) twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.     Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence. 62. Which of these sentences best describes the writer’s point in Para. 1?   A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.   B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.   C. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.   D. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment. 63. It is suggested in this passage that ________ .   A. unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence B. close relations usually have similar intelligence C. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence   D. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence 64. In Para.1, the word "circumstances" means ________ .   A. intelligence     B. life C. housing    D. environments 65.The best title for this article would be ________ .   A. On Intelligence   B. What Intelligence Means   C. We are Born with Intelligence   D. Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence 第五部分:七选五(共 5 小题,每小题 2 分,满分 10 分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 Tips for cooking on a Tight Schedule From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money and time. 66 Money is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think about of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready? 67 Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 68 it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal. 69 . This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule. Hopefully that gives you a good start. 70 and don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live! A. Try new things. B. Make three or four instead. C. Ability is easily improved. D. Understand your food better. E. Cooking is a burden for many people. F. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on. G. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.第二卷(共 40 分) 第一部分:语法填空(共 10 小题,每小题 1.5 分,满分 15 分) 根据上下文在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词,或给出括号内单词的正确形式。 Last week, 100 restaurants across Shanghai advocated the use of serving utensils(器具),as it is a key point for the control and (71) (prevent) of the COVID-19.

Many years ago, people thought that if we went to bed early and got up early, we would be energetic the whole day. So, getting up early is of great importance to us all. In fact, morning is the best time of a day. In the morning, the air is the freshest and people are usually in the best condition. Many of us may have the experiences that we memorize some things more quickly and correctly in the morning than at any other time of the day. And it is certain that we find it easier to understand what we learn in the morning. If we get up early and do some morning exercise or only take a short walk in the morning, without doubt we can build up our bodies and become much healthier. Also we will have enough time to make a plan and get ready for our work or study of the day if we get up early. For example, if everyone in the family gets up early, wives will have enough time to prepare the breakfast for the whole family; children will have enough time to catch the school bus, and husbands will never forget to change their dirty shirt. Everything will be in order. However, if we get up late, we'll probably have to do everything in a hurry. Let us remember getting up early is a good habit and try our best to keep it. Late risers may find it difficult to form the habit of getting up early. They have to make an effort to do so. If we stick to getting up early every day, we will certainly benefit a lot from it. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________2019—2020 学年度第二学期期中考试 高 一 英 语 试 题 参考答案 第一卷(共 110 分) 第一部分:听力(共两节,20 小题;每小题 1.5 分,满分 30 分) 1-5 CABAA 6-10 BCCAC 11-15 BCCBC 16-20 BABBC 第二部分:单项选择(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) 21~25ADDAC 26~30CBBDA 第三部分:完形填空(共 20 小题,每小题 1.5 分,满分 30 分) 31-35CDBAD 36-40ADABB 41-45DCADC 46-50BBAAD 第四部分:阅读理解(共 15 小题,每小题 2 分,满分 30 分) 51-53 BDA 54~57 BADA 58~61 ADDA 62~65 DBDA 第五部分:七选五 (共 5 小题,每小题 2 分,满分 10 分) CFBAG 第二卷(共 40 分) 第一部分:语法填空(共 10 小题,每小题 1.5 分,满分 15 分) 71. prevention 72. dishes 73. adding 74. to avoid 75. greatly 76. adopted 77. which 78. of 79. has been put 80. the 第二部分:单词拼写(共 10 小题,每小题 0.5 分,满分 5 分) 81. unique 82. whispering 83. relief 84. distinguish 85. approaching 86. approaching 87. civilizations 88. destroyed 89. commercial 90. gradually 第三部分: 书面表达(20 分) One possible version: Great importance has been attached to getting up early since ancient times.

I think you already know that people in different countries have different ways of doing things. Something that is rude in one country may well be quite polite in another. For example, in Britain you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you're having some liquid food. And in Japan you needn't worry about making a noise when you drink it. It shows that you are enjoying it. But that's considered bad manners in Britain. In Britain we try not to put our hands on the table at all during a meal. In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table throughout a meal. But it is in the Arab countries that we really must be careful with our hands. You see in Arab countries you mustn't eat with your left hand. This is considered to be very impolite. So what should you do if you visit another country? Well you needn't worry. You can ask the native people there for help or just watch carefully and try to do as they do, not as you do at home.
