Dear David,
I'm sorry to hear that you are suffering from insomnia. I'd like to give you some advice to help you get over it.
First of all, I suggest you develop some good habits, such as drinking a glass of warm milk and listening to light music before going to bed. Secondly, you should keep a balanced diet and eat more fresh fruit and vegetables, which can contribute to better health and better sleep. Besides, You’d better take some physical exercise regularly. Last but not least, it is very important to have an optimistic and peaceful state of mind.
I hope my advice is of some help to you and you'll get well soon.
Yours，
Li Hua

Realizing the reason for my failure, my parents started to dislike the fact that I had a phone. They said they had noticed that I never paid attention to them. It seemed as if I was in my own little world. So they thought we didn't communicate with each other as much as before after I got my phone. They regretted having given me a phone, which made me ignore the family and study.
Then I started to wonder if I was wrong. A week later I tried going a whole day without a phone and it didn’t go that badly. I had so much fun because I was actually spending time with my family and paying attention to them. From that day, I had a different attitude towards phones. Phones really cut you off from the outside world. I don’t mean that we should totally avoid using them, but that we do have to spare some time to spend with our family and focus more attention on our studies.2021年秋季恩施州高中教育联盟高一期中联考

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5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
Which country can you travel to in 2020 that will allow you to go for longer, enjoy a higher standard, and save more money The following destinations offer accommodation, transportation, and food for less.
Kyrgyzstan, $25/day
Kyrgyzstan is the choice for most travelers interested in trying out Central Asia, and most well-suited to travelers of all budgets(预算). Food is cheap, so is getting around using the minibuses. You can find hostels and local home stays for less than $10. Meals cost $4 – $8 per day.
Romania, $33/day
If you are planning a European trip that’s affordable and a little bit off the beaten path, Romania is perfect for you. Unlike other popular places, many charming towns here remain unknown to most foreigners. You can also take free walking tours in the numerous historical sites. Hostels run $10 – $15 per night, food is hearty (丰盛的) and delicious, and the public transportation is reliable and affordable. Meals cost $10 – $15 per day.
Arizona & Utah, $55/day
For an American Southwest road trip, you’ll spend an average of $110/day when you are solo. If you have just one other person, you’d be able to split(分开，分裂) the costs almost perfectly in half. If you have two other people along, take it down to one third and so on. The more the merrier.
South Africa, $40/day
Any hostels in South Africa are in beautiful settings and each has a unique personality, and affordable too. Food can get expensive. To save money, cook your own food. Grocery stores are plentiful and have reasonable (合理的) prices. By at least cooking your own breakfast, you can save a lot of money. The best (and possibly cheapest) way to get around the country is to rent a car and share with 3 other people. Meals cost $12 – $15 per day.
21. What makes Romania different from the other places
A. Less-visited towns. B. Delicious food. C. Nice hostels. D. Cheap transportation.
22. What may the author recommend for travelling in South Africa

For some people, walking or running outdoors is a great way to work out. What may not be so pleasant is seeing trash (垃圾) all over the ground. Well, some people are doing something about it. They are plogging!
“Plogging” began in Sweden. The name combines the Swedish word “plocka,” which means to pick up, and the word Jogging, which means to run slowly. A Swedish man named Erik started the movement in 2016 on the World Environment Day.
Erik says that he moved to Stockholm from a small community in northern Sweden. Each day he would ride his bike to work. Concerned about the amount of trash and litter he saw on the way, he took matters into his own hands.
Plogging, by that term, may have officially begun in Sweden. But many people who exercise outdoors have been doing this for years. Take Jeff Horowitz for example. He is a personal trainer in Washington, D.C. He often picks up trash while running outside. He even has turned it into a game; he will try to pick up the trash without stopping. “I didn’t know it was a thing really. This is just my personal ethics (道德标准), where I go for a run and if I happen to see a piece of garbage lying around and it’s within reach — it is a kind of a little test for me to see if I can grab it and throw it in a near trash can without stopping. And that way, I think, it gives me a little exercise and a little focus for my run. And it helps clean up the neighborhood,” he announced.
Today, plogging is an official activity, one that is becoming increasingly popular. Cities around the world now hold plogging events, “I would just hope people would think twice before dropping a garbage on the ground. We have containers on every block. So, it’s easy to put your garbage in the trash cans. I just think people should think about it a little bit more. I do hope one day there will not be a need for plogging.” said an interviewee.
24. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “took matters into his own hands”
A. called on people to join him. B. called on people to go green.
C. began to pick up the trash. D. had the collected trash recycled.
25. What does the example of Jeff Horowitz tell us
A. Plogging comes naturally to joggers who care about the environment.
B. Plogging is an easy way to clean the environment.
C. It doesn’t make any sense to jog without picking up trash
D. It is better to clean up the neighborhood by plogging.
26. What is the idea that plogging events are meant to promote (提倡)
A. Jogging is truly beneficial. B. Trash cans should be within reach.
C. People should stop littering around. D. Communities should be kept clean.
27. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. New exercise enjoys unbelievable popularity B. New exercise trend(趋势，倾向) also helps environment
C. Plogging — a fashionable way to keep fit D. Plogging — an exercise originating in Sweden
C
Many people have difficulty in getting up in the morning. This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you work, you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak（顶峰). For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar words as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again! ” The possible explanation for the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. If so, staying up later than you want to may counteract(抵制，抵消) your cycle in some way. If our energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a comfortable yawn（呵欠）and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed for a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out (铺开，摊开) the night before.
28. Dr. Kleitman explains that a person is difficult to get up in the morning probably because of ______.
A. his own laziness B. his own energy cycle C. his own habit D. his bad rest at night
29. According to the passage, people’s energy peak may come ______.
A. in the morning B. in the evening C. in the afternoon D. at different hours
30. What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to
A. The life. B. The good habit. C. The energy cycle. D. The change.
31. If the finding is true, it’s best to ______.
A. do your work at the energy peak B. manage to control your temper
C. work at the bottom of energy cycle D. manage to keep you clean all day
D

And what of his “signature” book, The Cat in the Hat Did you know that in the early 1950’s there was a growing concern in America that children were not becoming avid readers This was, book publishers (出版商) thought, because children found books dull and uninteresting. A clever publisher sent Dr. Seuss a book of words that he thought all children should learn as young readers. Dr. Seuss wrote his famous story The Cat in the Hat, using those words. Over the decades, his writing has had much influence on very young children.
32. What can we infer from the author’s nickname
A. He was once a famous doctor. B. He wrote books in a doctor’s office.
C. His books made people feel better. D. His books could treat people’s illness.
33. What can children read in Dr. Seuss’ books

C. Stories of famous people in history. D. Words from many other countries.
34. What does the underlined word “avid” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Interested. B. Surprised. C. Good. D. Fast.
35. Why is the publisher described as “clever” in the last paragraph
A. He created many useful words. B. He knew how to teach children to read.
C. He sent Dr. Seuss a best seller. D. He made for the birth of a famous story.

Environmental clubs are a great way to help the environment and hang out with friends. Read to get step-by-step instructions on how to start a high school environmental club.
Choose a cause. Some good ideas might be something like, “Save the dolphins!” or “Stop global warming!” 36 . For example, “save the dolphins” might not be a good idea if you live ten hours to the nearest dolphin location, whereas “keep our school clean” would work anywhere.
Decide on jobs. 37 Some you could include are a recruiter (招募员) , activity manager, project manager and the president who decides all the meeting times, meeting places, activities, and projects.
38 Your club should have some fun activities to do to remind them what they are fighting for. These could be hikes in the forest or watching environmental movies. Only do these once a month or the group may become too passive.
Do projects. At your meetings, decide on a few projects, and do them. When you’re done with the few projects, decide on a few more. In addition, you can always redo projects if you think they were not successful. 39 , or don’t print them at all because recycling still pollutes.

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
“Surprise!” was the first thing I heard when I opened the door. My family and friends were all smiling at me. There were colorful balloons all over the house, a big poster saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY'', and of course a cake with 12 candles. It was a wonderful feeling. I knew that I had finally turned twelve and I might possibly get the thing I wanted most.
I saw my mom and dad coming towards me with a small box which seemed to be a birthday present. When I opened the box, I couldn't believe my eyes. I had really gotten a mobile phone! Throwing myself into their arms, I let out a cry of joy, “Thank you! I love you guys!”
“You're welcome. We knew this was going to make you happy but we didn't only get you this because you turned twelve, but also because you are doing well in school. We expect you to keep getting good grades."
“Of course I will." I said confidently.
As soon as I got to school the next morning, I was showing off my phone and asking everyone for their number. It was cool how I got so many contacts on the first day.
It felt like I didn't even exist in that class anymore. I wouldn't pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my phone. However, I didn't get caught using it.
I am pretty sure that the teacher did notice that I stopped paying attention to her because a week later we took a test and I failed. What was worse, my mom had to sign the test.
It was hard to show my mom the test. She was used to seeing A's and B's on my tests. Finally, I showed it to her, and she couldn't believe it. She was angry but most of all, she was disappointed.
