BGraceful SwansCSwans Brave Act DI Just Couldnt Believe It!22What happened to the Canada goose?AIt was deserted by other geese. BIt was stuck in the ice.CIt was wounded and couldnt fly. DIt was lost in the water.23At first the authors friend was worried that_.Athe swans would not help the Canada gooseBshe didnt care about this matter any moreCthe swans wouldnt identify with the Canada gooseDthe swans would peck the Canada goose to death24What did the swans do when they saw the Canada goose couldnt fly?AThey chipped off the ice held in its feathers.BThey waited patiently for the ice held in its feathers to melt.CThey came down and lifted it up to the sky together.DThey stayed with it and protected it.( B )Ive loved my mothers desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of it. Mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But as a young girl. I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional (易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface (表面)”.As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace it seemed that nothing happened. I couldnt be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.But the present of her desk told me, as shed never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside a photo of my father and a one-paper letter, folded and refolded many times. It was my letter.“In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.”25The writer began to love her mothers desk_.Aafter Mother died Bbefore she became a writerCwhen she was a child Dwhen Mother gave it to her26The passage shows that_.AMother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughterBMother was too serious about her daughter in wordsCMother wrote to her daughter in careful wordsDMother wrote to her daughter in careless words27The underlined word “gulf” in the passage means_.Adeep understanding between the old and the youngBdifferent ideas between mother and daughterCfree talks between mother and daughterDpart of the sea going far in land28Whats best title of the passage?AMy letter to Mother BMother and childrenCMy Mothers Desk DTalks between Mother and me( C)People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mothers Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Fathers Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible(有责任感的) citizens. They give love and care. These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mothers Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地). On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Fathers Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone panies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.29. Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A. Parents bring up children.B. Parents give love and care to children.C. Parents educate children to be good persons.D. Parents pass away before children grow up.30. What do you know from the passage?A. Mothers Day and Fathers Day are both in May.B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.C. Not all the children respect their parents.D. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.31. On Mothers Day and Fathers Day,.A. people usually have family partiesB. everyone goes to visit the cemeteryC. children always go to parents homeD. hand-made cards are the most valuable gifts( D )Beginning in October, more than 13,000 McDonalds (麦当劳)restaurants in America will use a new variety of cooking oil. McDonald s aims to make its French fries (油炸食品) and other fried foods healthier.The change will not affect the taste or the number of calories in the food. But by changing the cooking oil, McDonalds says, it hopes to cut by nearly half the amount of trans fatty acids (转换脂肪酸) in French fries and reduce the amount of saturated fats(饱和脂肪) by 16 percent. Scientists believe that trans fatty acids and saturated fats raise cholesterol(胆固醇) levels and increase the risk of heart disease. McDonalds new step is important because McDonalds is an industry leader and other fast-food chains and food processors may follow the lead. For McDonalds ,the action es at a time when Americans are being more and more concerned about; obesity (肥胖) and are increasing pressure on food panies to offer healthy and nutritious (有营养的) food to consumers. After three years of study, McDonalds officials say they are switching oil that is lower in saturated fats and trans fatty acids. McDonalds says the change will not cause higher price for consumers.Though there is some change, scientists say that the amount of trans fat in foods at McDonalds and at other fast-food panies is still important.32. More than 13,000 McDonalds restaurants in America will use a new kind of cooking oil to _. A. lower the costs of the products B. maker its food taste hatter than ever before C. cure (治愈) the heart disease D. do good to the health of consumers33.

After we stayed there for four days, we went home by the train. It took about twenty-eight hours to get home. There were many people travel to Hainan, so there were many people on the train. It was crowded and noisy, which made us felt very unfortable. We were badly tired, but we couldnt fall sleep. On the train, all what I could do were playing card, listening to music or talking to my parents. Every time while I was about to sleep, I was waken by others. Besides, the food on the train tasted badly. I could only eat bread or instant noodles. Now, I have arrived home and I have slept for twelve hours, and I still feel tired. I hope I will never have such journey again.第2节 ：书面表达（满分25分）最近，你班同学组织了一场讨论，讨论的主题是：新课标下的贵州省高考英语试题中是否应该有听力测试。请你根据下表中的提示写一篇短文，介绍讨论的情况。70%的同学认为30%的同学认为 1. 应该有 2. 听是语言的四项基本技能之一，不能忽视 3. 国际合作日益增多，听说能力应加强 1. 不应该有 2. 英语教师和语音设备城乡差异过大 3. 今后并非人人都要与外国人口头交流注意：1文章的起始句已给出。 2词数：100左右（不包括已给的起始句）。3参考词汇：国际合作international cooperationThe students of our class had a discussion about whether there should be listening test in the National Matriculation English Test. xx高一英语半期考试试题答案一 听力 1-5: BACBB 5-10: ABABA 11-15: CCACB 16-20: CABAB二 阅读理解21-25：ABDA C 26-30：ABC DB 31-35: A DCDC 36-40：AGDFC三 完形填空： 41-45：BCADB 46-50：CBDAC 51-55：DABBC 56-
