2021-2022學(xué)年廣東省惠州市惠陽區(qū)中山中學(xué)高一（上）期末英語試卷

一、閱讀理解（共4小題；每題2.5分，滿分37.5分）

• 1．Tipping customs differ from country to country.You need to know how to tip in the country that you're in when you travel；or you'll leave servers annoyed everywhere you go.Here are just a few guidelines to tipping in different countries.
     Dubai
     In Dubai it's a rule for restaurants to charge 10% tip on all restaurant and bar bills.You can add a couple of dirhams（迪拉姆，貨幣單位）to this if you feel like it.Waiters are not paid very much in Dubai，so it is always very appreciated.
     Brazil
     There will always be a standard 10% service charge added to your bill，and you won't necessarily have to tip.If you do feel like being generous，an extra 5-10% will really make your server very happy.Just remember to do this as skillfully as possible - Brazilians don't make a big show of this.
     Czech Republic
     While locals in the Czech Republic don't leave tips，that doesn't mean you're off the hook.Foreign tourists are definitely expected to leave some kind of tip for service - as long as you're in a high tourist traffic area，like Prague for instance.The standard tip is 10%.
     India
     Here it is often considered appropriate for a tourist to tip your server 5-10%.You have to adjust that number by yourself though.This is how the rules go in this country.If the bill is for a small meal and totals less than 300 rupees，tip the full 10%.If the bill is higher，tip towards the 5%.
  
  （1）In which country is it OK if you don't give a tip？

  
  A．Dubai.
  B．Czech Republic.
  C．Brazil.
  D．India.
  （2）In India，the amount of tip mainly depends on

  .
  A．The size and environment of the restaurant.
  B．The service that you have received.
  C．The rules that the restaurants make.
  D．The size of the meal you are eating is.
  （3）In which section of a website can you probably find the passage？

  
  A．News.
  B．Culture.
  C．Sports.
  D．Entertainment.

• 2．"I'm going to fail !"My best friend cried.She and I had this conversation almost every day while we were in high school.
     The truth was that my friend never failed in any subjects.I just think that she can't accept failures because she lives her life as a perfectionist （完美主義者）.What she fails to understand is that a lot of good can come from failures.
     For example，failure can help build relationships.Once was cooking dinner for a friend.I was tired，and several dishes I tried to make turned out bad.I grew more and more upset until my friend told me that I shouldn't worry.She cared more about our friendship than the dishes.That day，I learned that failure doesn't always make people dislike you.In fact，after she said those words to me，I grew closer to her.
     Failure can make success ever more exciting.Every few years，there would be an important test in the PE class at our school.Students had to run a mile within eight minutes.I was never good at running，so I failed every time until the third year at school.Then I began working out regularly，and yet I still failed that year.A few days later，however，the teacher gave me and some other students another chance to run and I got a pass finally!You can 't imagine how excited I was after that.I felt the memory of the success was as sweet as honey，because I had to overcome failure to reach it.
     Now its clear to see that failure can teach us good lessons.It's not an end—it can be a beginning.
  
  （1）What can we learn about the author's best friend from the first two paragraphs？

  
  A．She liked taking tests.
  B．She was afraid of failures.
  C．She often failed in study.
  D．She knew how to be perfect.
  （2）What did the author finally get from a failed cooking？

  
  A．Bad feelings.
  B．Worries.
  C．A closer friendship.
  D．More experience.
  （3）Why did the author feel excited after the running test？

  
  A．Because she could work out regularly.
  B．Because she received honey as a reward.
  C．Because she got another chance to take the test.
  D．Because she achieved success after many failures.
  （4）The author wrote this passage

  .
  A．to show the negative effects of failures
  B．to point out her best friends fear of failures
  C．to encourage the readers to face failures bravely
  D．to introduce different types of failures

• 3．March 16th is World Sleep Day.This year's slogan（標(biāo)語） is "Breathe Easily，Sleep Well".Its aim is to celebrate the benefits of good and healthy sleep.
     Sleep is like food for the brain.Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop.According to the National Sleep Foundation in the US，adults need seven to nine hours of sleep every night.For students aged 10 to 17，a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours per night.
     But many students don't get enough sleep because of early school start time and heavy homework.About 80 percent of middle school students don't get enough sleep，the China Youth and Children Research Center reported.For some students，they want to sleep early，but they keep worrying about their schoolwork and can't fall asleep quickly.For others，they may even have insomnia which might keep them awake（醒著的）all night.
     These sleeping problems greatly affect people's lives.Experts have shown that lack of sleep for teenagers leads to poor grades.Students without enough sleep cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports.Also，the lack of sleep may make them depressed （沮喪的）.
     Luckily，with good sleeping habits，it is easier to fall asleep.Some of these good habits include avoiding drinks that make people excited late in the day，going to sleep at the same time each night，and sleeping in a comfortable place that is dark，quiet，and neither too warm nor too cold.
  
  （1）If Li Hong is 15 years old，how much sleep does she need every night？

  
  A．10-12 hours.
  B．8-9 hours.
  C．7 hours.
  D．Less than 7 hours.
  （2）What might happen if teenagers don't get enough sleep？

  
  A．They might do well in sports.
  B．Their bodies and brains might grow better.
  C．They might feel depressed.
  D．They might not be able to finish their schoolwork.
  （3）The underlined word "insomnia" means "

  " in Chinese.
  A．健忘癥
  B．肥胖癥
  C．多動癥
  D．失眠癥
  （4）Which of the following are good sleeping habits？

  
  a.Sleeping in a bright place.
  b.Going to bed at the same time.
  c.Sleeping in a dark and quiet place.
  d.Drinking something that makes you excited.
  A．a(chǎn)-b
  B．a(chǎn)-c
  C．b-c
  D．b-d

• 4．As computers become more popular in China，Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input （輸入） Chinese characters.But if they use the computer too much，they may end up forgetting the exact strokes （筆畫） of each Chinese character when writing on paper.Experts suggest people，especially students，write by hand more.
     Do you write by hand more or type more？In Beijing，students start using a computer as early as primary school.And computer dependence is more wide-spread among university students.Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer.
     All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.
     It's faster and easier to correct if using a computer.And that's why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education.
     "When I'm writing with a pen，I find I often can't remember how to write a character，though I feel I'm familiar with it."
     "I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper."
     Many students don't feel this is something to worry about.Now that it's more convenient and efficient to write on a computer，why bother to handwrite？
     Many educators think differently.Shi Liwei，the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital，said， "Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic（審美的） value.But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value.All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost.And handwriting contains the writer's emotion.Through one's handwriting，people can get to know one's thinking and personality.Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them. "
     To encourage students to handwrite more，many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory（必修的） and in universities，some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.
  
  （1）Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage？

  
  A．To Type or to Handwrite.
  B．The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.
  C．Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand.
  D．Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters.
  （2）The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because

  .
  A．they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essays
  B．they find it not easy to remember how to write a character
  C．they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently
  D．computers have become a trend and fashion in China
  （3）Which of the following statements is NOT true about advantages of handwriting？

  
  A．Handwriting contains the writer's emotion.
  B．Handwriting can impress people well and build their self-confidence.
  C．The writer's thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.
  D．Handwriting helps to maintain the aesthetic value of Chinese characters.
  （4）From the passage we can infer that

  .
  A．more and more students will give up writing on a computer
  B．writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one day
  C．the typing article better expresses one's feelings and quality
  D．more and more students will pay attention to handwriting
