齐市第八高级中学2022-2023学年高一上学期第一次月考
英 语 试 题
第一部分 阅读理解
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
Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so many more.
There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you’ll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas where they live.
When you are on a bicycle, you have the advantage of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter mode(方式) of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.
There are many choices of hiring a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size. These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors to please any taste. If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike(双人单车), now is your chance, because they have those too.
A bicycle hire on Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once. This is a wonderful chance for anyone who likes to cycle and it is also a cheap way to travel with your family.
1. Driving in a car on Gold Coast is not suggested because ________.
A. you will break the traffic rules
B. you can't enjoy the beautiful scenery well
C. you will cause much noise
D. you can’t drive into some parks
2. What is not mentioned about the following advantages of hiring bikes
A. It is a good way to do sunbathing. B. It is a cheap way of travelling.
C. You can get a clearer sight of animals. D. You can take photos of animals.
3. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. How to hire bikes on Gold Coast. B. What kinds of bikes there are in stores.
C. What bikes are the most popular. D. Who can hire bikes on Gold Coast
4. What's the author’s attitude towards a bike hire on Gold Coast
A. He doesn’t like this way of travelling.
B. He thinks it is a personal choice
C. He supports it very much.
D. He thinks it is only good for adults.
B
Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements (代替物) for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.
5. Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of
A. Playing basketball in a gym. B. Motor racing in the desert.
C. Cycling around a lake. D. Swimming in a sports center.
6. What do we know about golf from the passage
A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain.
B. It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.
C. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.
D. It causes water shortages around the world.
7. The author uses power walking as an example mainly because ________.
A. it uses fewer resources B. it improves our health
C. it is an outdoors sport D. it is recommended by experts
C
Earthquakes strike suddenly at any time of the day or night, but there's no way to tell when. If an earthquake happens, it may cause many deaths, injuries and damage. So you need a good preparation ahead of time. Decide how and where your family will get together if separated. Choose an out of-state friend or relative that the family members can call after the quake to report where they are and how they are. Know the safe places in each room: under the strong tables, desks, or against inside walls. Keep enough food, water and other things, including a flashlight, a radio, medicines and clothing.
During the earthquake, you should keep a clear head and never be too nervous to know what to do. Protect your head and neck with your arms. If possible, take a book, a pillow or any other things to protect yourself from falling glass and ruins. If you are indoors, you must immediately lie under any strong furniture. If outdoors, move to an open area away from trees, buildings, walls or power-poles. If you are in a narrow valley, move to the centre of it and look up for falling stones. If you are in a car, move to the side of the road and stop the car. Do not stop near buildings, power lines or on or under bridges. Stay in your car until the shaking stops.
Do not move a badly injured person unless he is in great danger after the earthquake. Do not use the telephone immediately unless there is a serious injury or fire. Turn on your radio for instructions and news reports. Be prepared for aftershocks. If you want to leave your home, post a message inside your home telling your family members where you can be found.
8. To prepare for an earthquake, we should make sure of ________.
A. when an earthquake may happen
B. the place where we can find our family
C. how to receive instructions and news reports
D. the money with which we can buy food and water
9. If we are driving when an earthquake happens, we should ________.
A. find a strong building to hide in
B. leave the car as soon as possible
C. go on driving quickly to leave the area
D. move to the side of the road and stop there
10. From the passage, we know that during an earthquake ________.
A. we should keep calm and know what to do clearly
B. the trees and walls can protect us if we are outdoors
C. we should protect our necks with a pillow or a book
D. falling glass can be used to help us
11. After an earthquake, we should ________.
A. move an injured person quickly B. use the telephone immediately
C. turn on the TV to get news reports D. leave a message before leaving home
D
A team of engineers at Harvard University is trying to create the first robotic fly. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
“The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of its components(部件) is off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” said Robert Wood, a Harvard engineering professor.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependences(相互依赖) on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood.
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield.
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead, he said. So there are a lot on technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”
12. What is the typical characteristic of the robotic fly
A. It’s automatic. B. It’s quite powerful.
C. It’s controllable. D. It’s very small.
13. We can infer from the passage that the robotic flyer can________.
A. help do farm work B. act as a spy plane
C. fly at a very high speed D. answer many scientific questions
14. What is Wood’s idea about the robotic fly according to the last paragraph
A. It has wide practical applications.
B. It is highly questionable.
C. It gives scientists interest in flying machines.
D. It points to a new direction in studying biology.
15. What can be the best title for the passage
A. Harvard’s Study in the Field of Insects
B. Robotic Fly—a Copy of Real Life Insect
C. An Interesting Invention—Robotic Fly
D. A Breakthrough in Engineering Science
