高一英语 时间：90分钟 满分：100分 第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节（共10小题，每题2.5分，满分25分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A Why read, and sometimes even write poetry? That question is not difficult to answer if we change the word poetry to songs. ‎ I sing when I feel good. When I sing my favorite songs, I feel even better. Sometimes when I am listening to music and to the song words, I feel that it was written for me. A good song always makes me feel something. There are songs that I sing in my head between classes and songs that I want to sing when the school bell rings by the end of the day. They help me get through the day. ‎ They are like bright and warm colours in the middle of greys and shades. I like songs about love and friendship. The extraordinary thing is, my feelings are more special when I sing my favorite songs in English. ‎ I also like reading. I used to avoid poetry until an e-pal told me I should recite poems and not look up the meaning of the words. Poetry uses many difficult words and idioms, but the best thing is to just forget about them. In the beginning I felt quite strange. Now I always lock the door. Reading aloud gives you a strange feeling, but when you have some practice and fall into the rhythm, the rhyme and the sounds of the words, it is really a special experience.‎ I started with small poems, but now I think I most like long poems. I have different feelings with different poems. When I have had a bad day at school, I read Keats and forget everything. When I am sad I read Wordsworth . When the poem is finished, I close the book and my sadness is gone.‎ ‎1.

Well known to one billion viewers, Yang Lan is among China’s most popular TV personalities. Born in Beijing in 1968, Yang Lan began her career as the host for the popular “Zheng Da TV show”. She was only 21 at the time and had just graduated from Beijing Foreign Studies University. Becoming the host of a show with an audience of 200 million at such a young age was a big challenge, but Yang Lan was ready for it and quickly became popular.‎ Many of us would probably have stayed on to enjoy the fame and money that come with being a TV star, but Yang Lan had more important plans. She left the show after four years and went to New York City to get a Master’s degree at Columbia University. Her experience abroad inspired her and she made up her mind to create a new kind of TV station for Chinese viewers. When Yang Lan returned to China, she decided to develop her interest in business. Together with her husband, she started her own media company, Sun Media. ‎ When Yang Lan grew up, her family did not have a television. She remembers how she and the other children in her neighbourhood would sit in front of a small black and white TV owned by one of the other families in her building. TV was a new thing at the time, but Yang Lan thought that the powerful medium could be used in a different way. She wanted to make shows that were both entertaining and educational. When she was studying abroad, she produced a feature show called “Horizon”. The show introduced American popular culture to Chinese viewers. Viewers liked the first season of “Horizon”, but Yang Lan wanted to do something more serious and meaningful. The following year, she began interviewing important people, such as Dr Henry Kissinger, and discussing social issues. Her viewers were pleased and the show became even more popular. She later developed “Yang Lan One on One”, having interviewed more than 300 opinion leaders around the world.‎ ‎5. “Bigger than Oprah” in the first paragraph means .‎ ‎ A.

The reason why Yang Lan left “Zheng Da TV show” is that .‎ ‎ A. the audience didn’t like the show B. she was unfit for her office ‎ C. she wanted to get married soon D. she wanted to have further study C On November 18th, 1908, three men went up in a balloon. They started early in London. The headman was Auguste Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon, and they were ready for a long way.Soon they heard the sea below them. They were carrying the usual rope , and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water. Or it could be empty. So they ‎ were able to change its weight. They were also carrying some bags of sand.After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 meters, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men’s basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. There was also some snow on the balloon, and that made it very heavy. It began to go down towards the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand; but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling; so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake below and made a black hole in the ice.At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing; so they climbed to get away from the snow. They rose to 5,100 meters! Everything became icy. They were so cold that they decided to land. They came down in Poland heavily but safely. They had traveled 1,797 kilometers from London!‎ ‎8.When the balloon went up higher, ________.‎ A.they saw the sun go down ‎ B. the temperature of the balloon began to fall ‎ C. they could see a black hole on the ground ‎ D. they made a hole in the basket with their knives ‎ ‎9.The balloon landed __________.‎ A. in a foreign country B. on a lake ‎ C. in London D. on the sea ‎ ‎10.The three men had to land because _______.‎ A.they were very hungry B. they had not enough sand ‎ C. they pulled the box into the basket D. they felt too cold 第二节：七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，共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。‎ When I was 16 years old，a boy gave me an important gift. __11__‎ ‎ It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior high school, and my old school was very far away.__12__I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.‎ ‎ Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt very heart broken.
