He then worked as a piano player, and a paper cup salesman. In 1954, he visited restaurant in San Bernardino, California. There he found the small but successful restaurant run by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald, and was surprised by their effective (有效的) operation. The McDonald’s brothers produced a limited menu, concentrating on just few items—burgers, fries and drinks—which allowed them to focus on quality and quick service. They were looking for new franchising agent (特许经销商) and Kroc saw chance. In 1955, he founded McDonald’s System, Inc. By 1958, MeDonald’s had sold its 100 millionth hamburger. In 1961, Kroc started a training program later called Hamburger University, at a new McDonald’s restaurant in Elk Grove Village, Illinois.

What is the best title for the text? A. The Story of Ray Kroc B. McDonald’s’ Restaurant C. Tricks of Running a Business D. New Franchising Agents C László Bíró, a Hungarian, was the father of one of the 20th century’s most successful inventions—ballpoint pen. He worked in medicine, oil industry, motor racing and painting. It was when he was a newspaper editor that he became disappointed by the nibs (metal points) of pens which leaked (漏) ink and tore paper. One day, he was in a Budapest printing shop and saw an ink that dried as soon as it touched paper. “It got me thinking how this process (过程) could be simplified right down to the level of an ordinary pen,” he recalled later. The quick-drying ink used in printing was too thick to flow from a fountain pen, so Bíró’s brother, George, who is an expert in chemistry, came up with a new design. After several years 可修改 6 of experiments, Biro replaced the pen’s metal writing nib with the new design bearing a tiny ball in its tip with the help of his brother. As the pen moved along the paper, the ball rolled, picking up ink from the ink container and putting it smoothly on the paper. Bíró sold his patent (专利) to Baron Marcel Bich of France for 2 million dollars. In 1950 Bich produced his own cheap, disposable (一次性的) ballpoint pen. It was sold throughout the market and in 1965 the French government allowed it to be used in schools, with other countries following suit, such as Argentina. Before long, the ballpoint was becoming an increasingly popular piece of stationery (文具). Today, around 15 million ballpoint pens are sold worldwide every day. People will always remember Biro for his invention. Today in many English-speaking countries, people still use the word “biro” to refer to any kind of ballpoint pen Millions of people use it all over the world every day. Bíró used to hear people say the ballpoint was ruining writing skills. He would smile and say, “Well, writing comes from the heart. If we can help the hand to perform the task, what is so wrong with that?” 28. When did Biro decide to invent a new pen? A. When he worked in the oil industry. B. When he saw the quick-drying ink. C.

The ballpoint pen was welcome at the market. D As wildfires continued to sweep across Australia, the loss of life in the area was reaching 可修改 7 astonishing numbers. Ecologists (生态学家) at the University of Sydney said that nearly half a billion animals and plants had been wiped out since the fires began several months before. Images and videos from the area showed kangaroos trying to escape from burning forests and charred (烧 焦的) bodies of koalas lying on the ground. Koalas, which had been already under threat because of significant habitat loss, were hit particularly hard compared with other animals. Ecologists said nearly 8,000 koalas—about one-third of the population in their primary habitat-were believed to have died from the big fires. Professor Dieter Hochuli from the University of Sydney said it wasn’t just the well- known species, such as kangaroos, koalas and emus(鸸鹋), that were in danger. Insects also suffered losses. Additionally, many rare plant species might have disappeared completely. While animal hospitals were taking in as many animals as possible to treat burns and nursed them back to health, services had overall struggled to keep up with the amount of care needed. And the animals that had survived would have trouble finding food and shelters among the ongoing flames, so they were still in a dangerous situation. “We’re getting a lot of lessons out of this and it’s just showing how unprepared we are,” Dr. Sussan Ley said. “Now Australia is burning and national parks and our native animals are being destroyed. People have lost homes. People have died. Firefighters have been killed defending communities, most recently last night. There’s no protocols (拟定草案) in place even wildlife carers dont’ have protocols for when they can go in after fire. It’s our national government that is failing us.” 32. What’s the purpose of the second paragraph? A. To explain why there were so many rare animals in Australia. B. To show the terrible effect Australian wildfires had on species. C. To further confirm Professor Dieter Hochuli’s’ unique opinion. D. To warn people to take good care of wild animals and plants. 33. Why were the animals still in danger after surviving the fire? A. They failed to recover from serious burns. B. They might be hunted by people for food. C. They were short of food and shelters. D. They were unable to get nursing services. 34. What is Dr. Sussan Ley’s attitude towards the national government’s deed? 可修改 8 A. Supportive. B. Unconcerned. C. Doubtful. D. Dissatisfied. 35. What is the main idea of the text? A. Many rare animal species might have disappeared. B. Measures should be taken to prevent Australian wildfires. C. Australian wildfires killed nearly half a billion animals and plants. D. Ecologists have made great efforts to find the causes of wildfires. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Tell Your Parents About a Bad Test Grade If you’ve gotten a bad grade on a test, your parents may not be too pleased about it. 36 Here are some tips for you to follow.

I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my body.” Finally, the third tree said, “I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest tree in the forest. People will come to see me on the top of the hill and look up to my branches and think of the sky and how close to it I am reaching. I will be the greatest tree of all time and people will always remember me.” After few years of praying (祈祷) that their dreams would come true, the trees were visited by a group of woodsmen. When one came to the first tree, he said, “This tree looks like a strong one. I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter. And he began cutting it down. The tree was very happy, because he knew that the carpenter would make him into a treasure chest. At the second tree, a woodsman said, “This looks like a strong tree and I should be able to sell it to the ship factory.” The second tree was also very happy because he knew he was on his way to becoming huge and strong ship. When woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was frightened because he knew that if they cut him down, his dream would not come true. One of the woodsmen said, “I don’t need anything special from my tree. I’ll take this one.” And he cut it down. 注意：续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: However, the three trees were made into different things against their wishes. __________________________ 可修改 12 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Years later, something unexpected happened which helped them realize their value. _____________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 可修改 13 黄冈市 2020 年春季髙一年级期末考试 英语试题参考答案及解析 第一部分 听力 1—5 ABCBB 6—10 BCBAA 11—15 ACACB 16—20 AABCA 第二部分 阅读 第一节 A 篇 21. 【答案】B 【解题思路】根据文中第一节内容“And it’s still an adventure to be especially proud of because not everyone makes it all the way.”可知答案为 B，登乞力马扎罗山最值得骄傲的事情是一路攀登到顶 峰。 22. 【答案】D 【解题思路】根据文中第三节小标题及内容“This find，dating back 3 million years，helps us to learn how humans evolved (进化) in Africa.”可知答案为 D。 23. 【答案】C 【解题思路】根据文中第四节内容“But what makes this lake most famous is the pink flamingo (火 烈鸟) population.”可知答案为 C。 B 篇 24. 【答案】B 【解题思路】根据此句话上文“How do you make a restaurant business an overnight success at the age of 52?”可知 Ray Kroc 到 52 岁才成功，再结合第二段内容“In 1917, 15-year-old Ray Kroc lied about his age to join the Red Cross as an ambulance driver in World War Ⅰ, but the war ended before he completed his training.

Yours, 可修改 18 Li Hua 第二节 One possible version: However, the three trees were made into different things against their wishes. When the first tree arrived at the carpenters, he was made into a feed box for animals. This was not at all what he had prayed for. The second tree was cut and made into a small fishing boat. His dreams of being a huge and strong ship and carrying kings had come to an end. The third tree was cut into large pieces and left alone in the dark. Years later, something unexpected happened, which helped them realize their value. A farmer earned a lot of money and became rich, because he used the feed box to feed pigs and the pigs grew so fat and strong. When a group of men were out on the water to catch fish in the fishing boat, a storm came suddenly. The fishing men were saved because the boat was strong enough not to be turned over by the storm. Several construction workers needed to repair the roof of the house so they made a ladder using the wood pieces from the third tree. All the trees were happy enough to have realized their value though things didn’t seem to be going according to their original intention. 听力原文 Text 1 W: Excuse me.
