2018-2019学年高一英语下学期期中试题（无答案） (III)本试卷共120分，考试时间100分钟。第一部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)第一节 (共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Next month, Im traveling to a remote area of Central Africa and my aim is to know enough Lingala one of the local languages to have a conversation. I wasnt sure how I was going to manage this until I discovered a way to learn all the vocabulary Im going to need. Thanks to Memrise, the app Im using. It feels just like a game.“People often stop learning things because they feel theyre not making progress or because it all feels like too much hard work,” says Ed Cooke, one of the people who created Memrise. “Were trying to create a form of learning experience that is fun and is something youd want to do instead of watching TV.”Memrise gives you a few new words to learn and these are “seeds” which you plant in your “greenhouse”. When you practice the words, you “water your plants”. When the app believes that you have really remembered a word, it moves the word to your “garden”. And if you forget to log on (登录)，the app sends you emails that remind you to “water your plants”.The app uses two principles about learning. The first is that people remember things better when they link them to a picture in their mind. Memrise translates words into your own language, but it also encourages you to use “mems”. For example, I memorized motele, the Lingala word for “engine”, using a mem I created I imagined an old engine in a motel (汽车旅馆) room.The second principle is that we need to stop after studying words and then repeat them again later, leaving time between study sessions. Memrise helps you with this, because its the kind of app you only use for five or ten minutes a day.Ive learnt hundreds of Lingala words with Memrise. I know this wont make me a fluent speaker, but I hope Ill be able to do more than just smile when I meet people in Congo. Now, I need to go and water my Vocabulary!1. What does Ed Cooke make an effort to do with Memrise?A. Create memorable experiences.B. Make progress with hard work.C. Master languages through games.D. bine study with entertainment.2. What do the underlined words “water your plants” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Learning new words. B. Being a Memrise user.C. Logging on to the app. D. Taking care of your garden.3. What is the authors attitude towards Memrise?A. Uncaring B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Disapproving. BBeing a teacher is one of the best ways to make a difference in the life of a child and even older students. Here are some great scholarships and grant (奖学金, 助学金) opportunities to get the ball rolling on your dreams of being a teacher.Straightforward Teacher ProgramThis is one of the most popular and unique scholarships available for students working towards being teachers. The foundation offers their scholarships every three months each year. During each payment, four students receive a $500 scholarship. Prezell Robinson Scholarship ProgramWhile this scholarship is available only to students in the state of North Carolina, it is so incredibly helpful that many students choose to study in the state for the only purpose of receiving it. It is offered to college students who e from low-ine high schools or families that are interested in pursuing a long term career in education at any level. New York State Scholarship ProgramOfficials in the state of New York founded this program to award students who want to give back to their munity through their ability to teach. The catch for this scholarship is that the students must be pursuing a teaching career in mathematics or science at the secondary level.Also, because the program was designed to improve the education system in New York, the candidates must sign a service contract agreeing to work full time within the state for at least five years after graduation. Coca-Cola ScholarshipsYou may have many opportunities for grants and scholarships through The Coca Cola Foundation. There is the Coca Cola Teaching Foundation that will provide free money for students pursuing an education in the teaching field.

Which scholarship goes to the student who must be a science or math teacher aftergraduation? A. New York State Scholarship B. Coca-Cola Scholarships C. Prezell Robinson Scholarship D. Straightforward ScholarshipCIt is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are being horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would bee fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the drivers seat is another matter altogether.Road politeness is not only good runners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of and calm so necessary in modern traffic condition. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays dont even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical(e典型的)examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oning cars that may be not able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modem drivers cant even learn to drive. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.7. According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by_.A. road conditions B. the speed of modern lifeC. the behavior of the drivers D. the large number of car8. In the writers opinion，_.A. drivers should avoid traffic jams B. strict traffic rules are badly neededC. unskillful drivers should be punished D. drivers should show road politeness properly9. The underlined word give-and-take in the passage means_.A. politeness and impolitenessB. willingness to give in to each others wishesC. offering help to others as much as possibleD. good manners and bad manners10. What is the best title of the passage?A. Road Politeness B. Traffic ProblemsC. Bad Manners on the Road D. Good Driver and Bad Driver 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，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。Avoiding Weight GainMost people would like to be healthy and fit.

He cried, “Today I had a basketball match, but all the people laughed at me because of the shoes.” She wanted to buy him a pair of shoes but the money in her pocket was barely enough for a milk.“I am sorry but I promise when we have money,” the mother said.
