山西省灵丘县2017-2018学年高一英语上学期期中试题2017-2018学年第一学期期中试题高一英语 (满分150分,考试时间90分钟) 第一部分 阅读理解（第一节14小题，第二节5小题；每小题3分，满分57分）第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。A An earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members. Fragile items, like those made of glass should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you. There is a strong chance of short circuits （短路） and fire breakouts during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases at all times. If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object. If trapped in debris (瓦砾堆), cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap（轻敲）on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find you. Use a whistle (哨子) if one is available. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. Do not light a match because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust. 1. The purpose of the passage is to tell readers _.A. the damage caused by earthquakes B. the rescue work after earthquakesC. what to do about earthquakes D. how to prevent earthquakes2. The underlined word “Fragile” in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. easily brokenB. easily found C. expensive D. heavy 3. To reduce the injury from the earthquake, items made of glass should be put _.A. on cupboards B. in the bedroomC. on a lower surface D. where children cant reach them4. During the earthquake, people are advised to _.A. go out of the building at once B. turn off power and gas immediatelyC. take shelter under a tree D. drive to a safe place 5. What should people NOT do when they are trapped in debris?A. Cover their mouth with a handkerchief. B. Tap on a pipe or wall for help.C. Use a whistle for help. D.
