Dear Jack,
Having received your email concerning my National Day Holiday, I’m more than delighted to share with you my thoughts and experiences over journey.
As for the eight-day-long holiday, my family scheduled a self-driving tour to Liao Ning province. Undoubtedly, scenic spots, and roads, even the public toilets were packed with tourists. However, we were hardly affected, because as far as we were concerned, it was travelling together that strengthened the family bonds. Moreover, the fascinating landscapes along the way couldn’t afford to be missed, which made all the troubles caused by the inconvenience cast to the winds.
Do you feel like paying a visit to China when you’re available I can’t wait to show you around to appreciate the charming scenery and diverse cultures. Looking forward to your early reply!
Yours,
Li Hua

I could not believe my eyes. The piano I had worshipped many a time at the shop window stood before me. I kept rubbing my eyes, unable to believe it. Mother told me it was for me from father. Having noticed me appreciate the piano several times, father determined to make my dream come true. He took several odd jobs in his spare time, constantly working deep into the night. With all the family savings and the extra money earned, father managed to purchase the piano as my birthday gift. I couldn’t hold back my tears, thinking of the pains and struggles father went through. Determined never to let father down, I put all my heart into the practice and now as a famous pianist, I tour all over the world giving concerts. But I still keep my first piano in my living room, which reminds me of father’s unconditional and selfless love.五莲县2023-2024学年高一上学期期末模拟英语试卷

第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节 阅读下列短文，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that no one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mom love you ” “Of course,” they answered.
“How do you know ” was my logical question. They answered that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was surprised. “So mom’s cooking and criticizing read out as ‘I love you’ Then how do you say ‘I love you’ to her ” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a country where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these questions in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get different response. Some of them had exchanged those feelings with their moms.
One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged (拥抱) her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone, I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot. While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth (深度) of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing (祝福语) we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.
21. Chinese people prefer to show love by________.
A. buying gifts B. hugging each other
C. saying “I love you” D. doing something meaningful
22. In paragraph 4, what’s the real meaning of the mom’s hugging
A. She loves her daughter and misses her.
B. She is meeting her daughter at the door.
C. She finds it interesting to hug her daughter.
D. She is glad that she has more time to herself.
23. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Say “I love you” more to your family.
B. Say “I love you” as a greeting to others.
C. Say “I love you” a lot to Chinese people.
D. Say “I love you” without great depth of feelings.
B
One day when I was 5, my mother scolded (责骂) me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my old rice. When angrily opening the screen door with my foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no remorse, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.
Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have scolded my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for it. They never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, a breach (裂缝) in the defense against unwanted insects.
For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would constantly make me think about my mistake. For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing (嗡嗡) in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home, making life more terrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.
24. When the author damaged the door, his parents ________.
A. gave him a spanking B. left the door unrepaired
C. scolded him for what he had done D. told him how expensive it was
25. The underlined word “remorse” in paragraph 1 most probably means ________.
A. regret B. hurt C. feel D. notice
26. The experience may cause the author ________.
A. to hide his anger away from others B. not to go against his parents’ will
C. to have a better control of himself D. not to make mistakes in the future
27. What is the main idea of this text
A. Adults should ignore their children’s bad behavior.
B. Parents are the best teachers of their children.
C. What is the best way to become a more patient person.
D. Silent punishment may have a better effect on educating people.
C
Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play, catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, extra learning trials (尝试) increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception (例外) to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.
28. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1
A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.
B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D. Stories for children are easy to remember.
29. The author explains the law of overlearning by ________.
A. presenting research findings B. setting down general rules
C. making a comparison D. using examples
30. What does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. Commonly accepted rules. B. The multiplication tables.
C. Things easily forgotten. D. School subjects.
31. What is the author’s opinion on cramming
A. It’s helpful only in a limited way. B. It leads to failure in college exams.
C. It’s possible to result in poor memory. D. It increases students’ learning interest.
D
A handsome man can earn a fifth more than a plainer colleague (同事) but a beautiful woman is not paid a penny more than her average-looking colleague, new research has shown.
The study by senior economists (经济学家) found that being good-looking meant male workers could earn 22 percent more than average-looking colleagues. Researchers said good looks did not give women a similar advantage.
Andrew Leigh, the former economics professor at the Australian National University who co-authored the report, said: “Beauty can be a double-edged sword for women.”
“Some people still believe good looks and intelligence (智慧) are incompatible (矛盾的) in women so a good-looking woman can’t be that productive, but it doesn’t affect men’s pay.”
He said that although he believed good-looking women may also earn more, the research did not support his theory.
The research found that handsome men in all jobs, from manual labour to highly-paid professional careers, can earn 22 percent more than their colleagues doing the same work.
Men with below-average looks face a battle in the office, with ugliness reducing a man’s earnings by 26 percent compared to an average-looking worker.
Former male model Ian Mitchell, 28, who has a first class degree in history from Edinburgh University and now works for a cosmetics (化妆品) company, told the Sunday Times: “It gives you confidence, and I suspect people tend to warm to you more quickly.”
The study, named Unpacking the Beauty Premium, was the largest exercise of its kind and repeated a survey from 1984 to see if the beauty premium had changed.
Leigh said the research showed people in the workplace were “lookist (以貌取人的) ” and he hoped the findings would encourage employers to remove their prejudice (偏见).
32. What has the research found
A. Handsome men have an advantage in their jobs.
B. Appearance plays an important role at work.
C. Male workers pay more attention to their appearance.
D. The more beautiful a female is, the lower their intelligence is.
33. Through the research, Andrew Leigh learned that ________.
A. Beauty is a double-edged sword for workers.
B. Good-looking females are likely to earn more.
C. Employers have prejudice in employing workers.
D. More attention is paid to appearance now than before.
34. We can learn from the text that men who are below average in appearance ________.
A. earn 26% less than handsome men
B. earn 26% less than average-looking men
C. earn as much as average-looking men
D. earn 22% less than average-looking men
35. What is the main idea of the text
A. Good-looking men are more likely to earn more.
B. Men and women should be treated equally in interviews.
C. People should pay more attention to their appearance.
D. Beautiful female interviewees aren’t popular in interviews.

Your children are watching you. 36 According to the Health Program, developing healthy habits is an important part for your children. And when it comes to developing healthy habits, parents influence their children more than anyone else.
37 What happens during those early years can influence children for the rest of their lives. Children watch what others do carefully and imitate the behaviors of those closest to them. Most of the time, “closest” means their parents and the advice “do as I say, not as I do” from parents is not good for children. As parents, you should do the following:
38 If you do that, your children are more likely to be enthusiastic about developing theirs.
Let your children see you taking care of your own physical health by eating fruits and vegetables, and exercising on a regular basis. Talk to them about healthy habits in age-appropriate terms and at a proper time. 39 When it comes to encouraging physical activities, show them that running, jumping, walking and swimming can be fun for grown-ups too.
40 Computers, televisions and other forms of technology are a major part of life in the 21st century. Unfortunately, as the use of technology in the home increases, so does the time spent watching TV or playing on the computer. So as parents, you should also arrange the time for your children wisely.
A. Use technology wisely.
B. Take part in physical activities and exercise regularly.
C. Be enthusiastic about developing healthy habits of your own.
D. Children prefer to imitate their parents rather than talk to them.
E. Your actions are speaking to them louder than your words will.
F. This can be helpful in teaching your children to form physical habits.
G. It’s easy for the children to form their healthy habits when they are young.

第二节 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。（满分15分）
A Pleasant Surprise
For a long time, I had been longing for a piano of my own to practice on.
There was a piano shop on the street through which I went to school every day. Whenever I passed the shop, I would stop, looking at the beautiful piano which stood in the corner of the shop window. How I had been dreaming day and night to possess a piano like that!
Unfortunately, Father was just a clerk. Times were tough during the Depression, and there were five mouths to feed, besides buying coal and wood for the stove. In order to lay aside some money, on cold winter days Father walked 7 miles every day to get to work. No, he couldn’t afford to buy me an expensive piano—such an extravagance(奢侈品), though he knew that I was very anxious for one as a gift.
On my birthday, after school I went as usual to the shop window to look at the piano, but to my surprise the piano had gone. In fact, I should not have been surprised, others had the right to buy it, if they could afford to. Tears filled my eyes when I thought of not being able to see that piano any more.
Disappointed, helpless and sad, I wandered aimlessly up and down the street. About an hour later, I had just entered into our house, when I heard my mother calling me. I brushed away my tears and went into the dining-room where she was.
I could not believe my eyes.__________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________
