高一 英语
说明：本试题分为第I卷（选择题）和第II卷（非选择题）两部分。满分120分，考试时间为100分钟。答案写在答题卡上，交卷时只交答题卡。
第I卷（选择题 共35小题 满分60）
第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）
第一节 （共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Throughout most states of the USA, there are countless secret swimming holes, and following are 4 of them.
Havasu Falls (Arizona)
This attractive waterfall in the Grand Canyon is undoubtedly a destination spot requiring a 10-mile walk to the falls. You can take a guided tour to the falls, or make it on your own. The Havasu Falls are on the Havasupai Indian Reservation, which means you'll need to get a permit to visit — this has become increasingly difficult as more people discover this hidden place.
Hamilton Pool (Austin)
Hamilton Pool was created when an underground river's roof fell down suddenly; exposing what is now the swimming hole and creating a 50-foot waterfall that flows over the above limestone(石灰岩). You'll have to reserve beforehand to gain entry to the Hamilton Pool Preserve.
Chutes and Ladders (Maui)
To get to this secret swimming hole, you'll have to take a rope 40 feet down the face of a cliff, and then climb down about 8 feet of lava rock to the pool. Once there, however, you'll be glad you made the journey. The swimming hole is on the edge of the ocean — a natural pool, you could say — with a
depth that invites you to jump in without crowds of people around to watch.
Homestead Crater (Utah)
The Homestead Crater is hidden under a rock dome(圆顶) with an opening at the top that allows for sunlight and air. It was once only accessible by that top opening, but there is now easy access through a side path for visitors. Go for a swim in this beautiful mineral water spring.
1. People need an official written statement to visit _________.
A. Havasu Falls B. Hamilton Pool
C. Chutes and Ladders D. Homestead Crater

C. They are created by local people. D. They are accessible through a hole.

Sitting on the “Roof of the World”, Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve is one of the world’s hotspots for biodiversity protection. Mount Qomolangma, also known as Mount Everest, is to be measured again by a Chinese team to make sure its exact height after last official measurement.
“Conducting research and protecting the region can help us learn more about the origin and development of the earth, as well as our human-beings and wildlife,” said Cheng Pengfei, president of the Chinese Academy of Surveying & Mapping (CASM).
The weather in the Mount Qomolangma area changes frequently. While the maximum temperature in the tent is more than 20 degrees Celsius, or even 30 degrees Celsius at noon, it may start snowing in the afternoon, and a gale may spring up at night, even blowing away the tents. Those taking part in the mission are ready for the task after preparing thoroughly at the base camp.
The complex geological environment has formed diverse landforms in the area. Distinctive snow mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes and glaciers can be found. And the unique ecological environment has also established a special biological diversity.
4. What can we learn from the text?
A. The ecological environment around the Mount Everest has nothing to do with its biodiversity.
B. The height of Mount Everest has been measured before.
C. The weather in Mount Everest area is relatively steady with a small temperature change.
D. Learning more about wildlife in the area is one of the most important purposes of the research.
5. What does the underlined word possibly mean in the 3rd paragraph?
A. a name of an animal. B. a kind of grass.
C a strong wind D. a name of a machine
6. Where can you most probably see the text?

C
Fancy being face-to-face with a woolly mammoth (猛犸象). It would be quite a sight. Scientists believe it would tower above 11 feet tall and have a sloping back, a long, powerful trunk, and sharp, curved tusks that stretch up to 10 feet. Its thick hair would be up to three feet long. It would weigh six tons—about as heavy as a bus.
You’ve probably never seen a giant furry elephant before. Actually, you definitely haven’t. The species has been extinct for thousands of years.
But a few years from now, you might be able to see a woolly mammoth for yourself. Scientists believe they have the technology to recreate it.
A team of Korean and Russian scientists plan to clone a woolly mammoth. How will they do it?
Several woolly mammoth bodies have already been discovered in Siberia, an icy region in Russia. The scientists plan to take cells from these frozen mammoths. In a laboratory, they’ll use them to
create a new cluster (群) of cells called an embryo. The embryo will be placed into the womb of a living female elephant. That elephant will then give birth to a baby woolly mammoth.
The scientists believe the whole process will take five years. Many scientists and animal lovers can’t wait. It will be so exciting to be able to bring a creature that has been extinct for thousands of years back to life. People would travel from around the world for the chance to see a living woolly mammoth. By observing the way the creature looks and acts, scientists might make brand-new discoveries about the history of animal life.
Other experts aren’t so sure about the woolly mammoth project. One big question is what to do with a mammoth. The Earth has changed in the thousands of years since these animals roamed the planet. Where would the creature live, and would it be able to survive in today’s climate? Some believe that the money being spent on the experiment could be better spent on other important scientific projects, such as fighting diseases.
But the South Korean and Russian scientists are sticking to their plan. They admit they have a big challenge ahead. There is no guarantee that they will succeed, but they're hopeful.
7．The first paragraph describes the mammoth's ________.
A．habitat B．food C．appearance D．lifespan
8．What is the challenge for scientists to clone a mammoth?
A．Whether they have enough money for the project.
B．Whether the mammoth can adapt to the new environment.
C．Whether the mammoth can survive the modern diseases.
D．Whether their plan wins support from the public.
9．The last paragraph implies that the attitude of scientists to cloning mammoths is ________.
A．negative B．Disapproving C．optimistic D．doubtful
10．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Scientists are finding ways to deal with mammoths.
B．Scientists try to find out the history of animal life.
C．Scientists plan to bring the mammoth back to life.
D．Scientists pay little attention to the return of the mammoth.
第二节（本节共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。
Some effective ways to Meet New People
It is universally acknowledged that first impressions matter a lot. If you want to know how to meet people, just follow these steps.
◆Live in the moment.
To meet new people, the first thing you have to do is enjoy the present moment of the new conversation. Let go of your expectations and fears. 36
When you approach a new person, don’t ask yourself, “How do I look?” or “How do I sound?” Instead, ask,“What would this person like to talk about?”or“What matters to this person?”
◆ 37
If you keep up your confidence, people feel that you’re a person who is worth talking to. You should be confident before you walk into a room with new people in it and build your confidence as the conversation goes along. Just smile, talk about the things that you love, and show everyone that you love who you are, where you are, and what you do.
38 Stand tall, maintain eye contact, and don’t fidget (烦躁) with your hands or look at the floor. When you introduce yourself, speak clearly and loudly enough that you’ll be heard.
◆Be positive.
39 You should smile from time to time. Talk about the things you love, the things that make you happy, and your interests to keep people engaged.
Don’t talk about your longstanding hatred for a certain teacher, or classmate. 40 The occasional “That’s so true!” or “I know exactly what you mean!” will be far more positive.
A．Stay confident.
B．Communicate in a fun and casual way.
C．Body language can help you stay confident.
D．They can prevent a conversation from unfolding smoothly.
E．Don't ask for the person's number in the middle of the conversation.
F．Maintaining a positive attitude will make people want to talk to you.
G．Don't nod and agree with what the person is saying every five seconds.
