2019-2020学年高一英语上学期12月第三次双周考试题第一部分：听力（略）第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） AMeeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal(信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize(强调)the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in small talk, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries - like the UK or France- people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an unfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.21. In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to_.A. develop closer relationsB. share the same cultureC. get to know each otherD. keep each other pany22. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that_.A. the English prefer to make long speechesB. too many words are of no useC. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by natureD. even talk and silence can be culturally different23. What would be the best title for the text?A. Multicultural Environment.B. Cross-Cultural Differences.C. How to Understand Each Other.D. How to Build Up a Relationship. BWhen Marco Polo travelled to Hangzhou, China 7 hundred years ago, never had he thought hed be creating a job of social media ambassador（大使）in the 21st century in China.On May 20, one lucky foreigner would be selected to bee the modern-day Marco Polo, getting a free 15-day trip to the scenic city of Hangzhou in China, and rewarded $55,000 in the next year for working part-time to promote the city to the global audience. Five finalists from Australia, Romania, U.S, Switzerland and France were in the final race. They came from a pool of 700 applicants from around the world, carefully selected by the Hangzhou Tourism mission on their familiarity with China, social media presence and adventurous spirit. Located about 100 miles southwest to Shanghai, Hangzhou is home to 844 million population and among Chinas richest cities as measures by per-capita GDP. Traditionally, Hangzhou is known for its charming West Lake, a UNESCO world heritage site with traditional Chinese stories and tales, and the Grand Canal, which travels from Hangzhou to Beijing and was a key route of transportation in ancient China. The citys mild climate and charming environment drew 97 million tourists last year, contributing to 6.5% of the citys GDP. The lucky winner would start an all-expense-paid trip to Hangzhou, which, in addition to visits to tourist sites and tastings of delicious food, also would include a four-day ride along the Grand Canal and three evenings spent at a local residents home. “It is in fact a part-time job. How you work that out efficiently is your problem,” Liam Bates, perhaps the strongest petitor because of his fluent Chinese, said. “We will see how hard it is to meet these numbers.”24. The purpose of Hangzhou choosing a social media ambassador is to _.A. keep Marco Polo in peoples memoriesB. attract more foreign tourists to ChinaC. encourage more foreigners to speak ChineseD. explore a new route of transportation25.

Liam Bates was most likely to get the job mainly due to his _.A. travel experience B. fluent ChineseC. adventurous spirit D. excellent videos27. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?A. Hangzhou rewards international visitors to ChinaB. Liam Bates creates a dream job of social media ambassadorC. Dream job in China$55,000 to the contemporary（当代的）Marco PoloD. Hangzhou, a famous city for West Lake and the Great Canal CI took my 9-year-old daughter, Suzan and 5-year-old son, Robbie to the shopping centre. As we got there, we saw a big sign that said, “Petting Zoo”. The kids jumped up and asked, “Daddy, can we go?”Both my wife and I were out of work. However, I said, “Sure”, giving them a quarter each. They went away, leaving only fifty cents left in my pocket.A petting zoo is made up of a hundred of little baby animals of all kinds. Kids pay their money and stay in the enclosure(围场), pleased with the little animals while their parents shop.A few minutes later, when I saw Suzan walking along behind me, I was surprised and asked what was wrong.She said sadly, “Well, Daddy, a ticket for Petting Zoo costs fifty cents. So I gave Robbie my quarter.” Then she said the most beautiful thing I ever heard. She repeated the family motto(座右铭), which is “Love is Action!”I knew clearly no one loves little animals more than Suzan. She had watched both my wife and me do and say Love is Action!” for years, and now she had put it into her lifestyle. It had bee part of her, because she knew the whole family motto. Its not only “Love is Action”; its “Love is SACRIFICAL(牺牲的) Action!” Love always pays a price.I was moved. We went back to the Petting Zoo. Suzan stood with her hands and chin（下巴）resting on the fence and just watched Robbie go crazy petting and feeding the animals. I had fifty cents burning a hole in my pocket. I put my hand into my pocket and took out the money. Sure, I must do that!28.What would be the best headline for this passage? _.A. A Petting Zoo. B. Try Your Best to Help Others.C.

People who regularly made plans and looked forward to uping events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimers disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study. 38 Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. Theres evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.Go for a walk.Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖)levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact，exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain. 39Learn something new.Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time. 40 Or go dancing with your friends.AFocus on the future.BThis can be especially harmful to the aged.CIt should be something like learning gardening.DSo take a few minutes each day to do some reading.EBut dont worry if your schedule isnt filled with lifechanging events.FLuckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.GIn other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain.第三部分 英语知识运用第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Once upon a time there lived an old man in a nice cottage with a large garden.
