The best way of learning English is talking in English as much as possible. Sometimes you'll get your words mixed up (混合) and people will not understand you. Sometimes people will say things too quickly and you can't understand them. But if you keep your sense of humor, you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes you make. Don't be unhappy if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes. It's better for people to laugh at your mistakes than to be angry with you, because they don't understand what you are saying. The most important thing for learning English is: “Don't be afraid of making mistakes because everyone makes mistakes.” 36．The writer thinks that the most important thing for you to learn a language is ________. A．reading B．practising C．talking about it　 D．listening 37．If people laugh at the mistakes you make, you should ________. A．be angry with them B．be angry with yourself C．not care D．believe you are right 38．The story tells us “ ________.” A．It is normal (正常的) that we make some mistakes in learning English B．Everyone must make mistakes C．We can avoid making mistakes in learning a language D．Laughing can help one learn English well B What does it take to be a good neighbour? Over the years I have had all kinds of neighbours, ones that were enjoyable and others that were to be avoided at all costs. One of the most important things in being a good neighbour is to respect the personal privacy(隐私). When someone new moves into the neighbourhood, you'd better wait and see when and how to go to pay a visit. If you go rushing over as soon as they move in, they may think you are going to be one of those neighbours that come over at all times of the day, not respecting their privacy. It is a good idea to always be friendly to everyone in the neighbourhood. This can not only make you get along well with them, but will also be a form of protection for your family and home. If you wave as they drive by or offer a friendly hello while they are out in their yard, it shows that you like them and try to be friendly. If you are cordial(热诚的) to them, they are much more likely to watch out for any wrong doings going on around your home while you are out and let you know if anything happens. Another way of being a good neighbour is to be helpful in times of need. If you see that they are in need of a helping hand doing something or in times of difficulty, it is good to offer your help. Even though you haven't talked a lot to the people down the street, they are willing to take the time to help you because you have ever helped them when they were in need. In conclusion, if you respect their personal privacy, treat them cordially and be helpful when you see they are in need, you will be a great neighbour and anyone would be happy to have you next door! 39．What should we do when a new neighbour moves in? A．Go to offer some advice. B．Go to say hello immediately. C．Wave politely through the window. D．Wait and see when and how to pay a visit. 40．If we are always friendly to neighbours, we can ________. A．have our own privacy B．know more about their life C．make close friends with them D．keep our family members safe 41．What's the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．A friend in need is a friend indeed. B．Everybody sometimes gets into trouble. C．The neighbours should help each other. D．People needn't talk a lot to their neighbours. 42．As a good neighbour, a person should always be ________. A．brave, honest and kind B．helpful, strong and strict C．honest, active and friendly D．respectful, friendly and helpful C I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签 ) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other. War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed！” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder. The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬 ) under her covers, sobbing.Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart. Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me. “Thanks.” Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn't always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in cleaning up and holding on. 文章大意：本文主要讲述了自己如何与室友相处的经历。告诉我们与室友相处的诀窍。 43．What made Kate so angry one evening?

A．My Friend Kate B．Hard Work Pays Off C．How to Be Organized D．Learning to Be Roommates If you're indoors, stay there. Get under a desk or a table. The kitchen is a particularly dangerous spot. If you're in an office building, stay away from windows and outside walls and do not use the elevator. If you're outside, get into the open. Stay clear of buildings, power lines or anything else that could fall on you. If you're driving, move the car out of traffic and stop. Avoid parking under or on bridges or overpasses. After an Earthquake Check for fire. If you smell gas, shut off the main gas valve (阀). If there's sign of damage to electrical wiring, shut off the power at the control box. If the phone is working, only use it in case of emergency. Avoid driving if possible to keep the streets clear for emergency vehicles. Be careful that things may fall out of cupboards when the door is opened, and also that chimneys can be weakened and fall with just a touch. Listen to the radio for important information and instructions. Remember that aftershocks, sometimes large enough to cause damage in their own right, generally follow large quakes.

D．Because you can't find a place to park your car. E If you do not use your arm or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: Practice remembering. 51．The main reason for one is poor memory is that ________. A．his father or mother may have a poor memory B．He does not use his name or legs for some time C．his memory is not often used D．he can't read or write 52．If you do not use your arms or legs for some time ________. A．you can't use them any more B．they will become stronger C．they become weak and won't become strong until you use them again. D．they will become neither stronger nor weaker 53．Which of the following is NOT true? A．Your memory works in the same way as your arms or legs. B．Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you don't give it enough chance for practice. C．Don't learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory. D．A good memory comes from more practice. 54．Some people can't read or write, but they usually have better memories, because ________. A．they have save much trouble B．they have saved much time to remember things C．they have to use their memories all the time D．they can't write everything in a little notebook 55．Which is the best title for this passage? A．Don't Stop Using Your Arms Or Legs B．How To Have a Good Memory C．Strong Arms And Good Memories D．Learn From the People 四、六选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从A－F选项中选出能概括每段主题的最佳选项，选项中有一项是多余项。 A ． Act B ． Accept Yourself C ． Keep a Diary D ． Think about the Past E ． Focus on ( 关注，聚焦 )Yourself F ． Give Yourself a break How to Find Yourself Do you often feel lost？Do you think you are living somebody else's life? If yes, discover ways to find yourself by going through the following article. 1．________ If you are thinking, “how to find yourself when you are lost？”， then the first thing to do is to have a rest from everything—work, personal life and all worldly things. Give time to yourself to think why you seem lost. Is it because of overwork? Is it because you are not leading a life that you want to? Or is it because you are not satisfied with the people or things around you? Try to find answers to these questions to determine the cause behind your restlessness. 2．________ For once, instead of being the way others want you to be, be yourself. Look within and find yourself in you. Think about the things that you would want to do if you didn't have any family responsibility (责任)or any money problems. Think about the kind of relationship (关系)you would want to be in, the place that you would like to stay in, the kind of lifestyle you would like to lead, if you didn't have the society or people around you, judging all the time. If you really want to know how to find inner peace, then think, what you would want others to describe you as—an honest person? Or adventurous? Or loving, or realistic? Once you look within, you will know the answer and then try to be exactly that. 3．________ Thinking deeply about the past, the time or situations when you were the happiest, is another way to find yourself .Think what you were doing or with whom you were, when you were the happiest. This will help you to identify things that you want to do in life that make you happy and also certain people whose company you enjoy. 4．________ Knowing yourself and determining what you are to do with your life will not e to you in a day or two. Discovering oneself is an ongoing process and it can take months or sometimes even years to truly find yourself. So, it's important that you keep a written record of all your feelings and thoughts, which you can go through at a later stage. Pour all your emotions and feelings about life in it and who knows may be one day going through it, you will find yourself. 5．________ Once you have discovered what you want to do with your life, make a move for change and self improvement. Even if it means taking up small things such as dancing or painting, go ahead and do it. If you want a career change, plan and take steps so that it can take place smoothly. If you are stuck in a bad relationship and find yourself unable to mend it, break away. At the beginning, you may find yourself slightly unbalanced, but with time everything will be fine. It is very important for you to truly find yourself, before it is too late. If you do not find yourself now, you will spend your life with somebody you do not even know, i．e. yourself. 五、单句改错（共5小题,每小题2分，满分10分） 此题要求改正所给句子中的错误。每句只有一个错误。按下列情况改正：该句多一个词：把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉,在该行右边横线上写出该词,并也用斜线划掉。该句缺一个词：在缺词处用一个漏字符号（^）,在该行右边横线上写出该加的词。该句错一个词：在错的词下划一横线，在该行右边横线上写出改正后的词。 注意：不要改动原句意思。 1.Tom has been admitted into Peking University, which made his parents exciting. _________ 2.Nowadays ,we can search for all kinds of informations through the Internet. _________ 3.The bag is very heavy that I can hardly carry it. _________ 4.I’d appreciate that if you can give me a hand. _________ 5.I’ll do well in the exam with Mrs Chen teaches me . _________ 六、面表达(共1小题，满分35分) 假如你是刘东，进入高中学习两个月了，由于不适应高中生活，在学习与交友中遇到了一些困难，现写信给你以前的班主任Miss Chen 求助，内容要点如下： 1. 刚进入高中学习，平时不擅长交际，经常有孤独感； 2. 英语水平低，尤其口语，课堂上不敢开口，而有些同学口语流利，因此有时很苦恼； 3. 同桌是个很固执的女孩，与其相处不很融洽； 4. 很想改变现状，因此向老师求助，并表达感激之情。 注意：1. 词数120左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 同桌(deskmate) Dear Miss Chen， ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Yours， Liu Dong 四川省达州市大竹县文星中学2014-2015学年 高一下学期开学调研考试 答案解析 1．答案：B　句意：事实上，生第二个孩子的年轻夫妇的数量在上升。as a matter of fact“事实上”，第二空填the ，the number of“……的数量”，后面的谓语是单数，选B。 2．答案：B　考查非限制性定语从句和词组。句意：我们都知道的是，好朋友给人生带来快乐和价值。as引导非限制定语从句，指代后面的句子，add...to...“把……加到……里面”，add to“增加”，选B。 3． 答案：A　考查短语辨析。A.为纪念；B.支持；C.寻找；D.作为回报。句意：在2013年12月10日，许多世界最高领导人前往约翰斯堡纪念刚刚去世的纳尔逊曼德拉。故A正确。 4．答案：C　考查短语辨析。A.陪同前往；B.患；C.经历；D.从事。句意：刘先生出身于一个贫穷家庭，当还是个孩子的时候吃了很多苦，故C正确。 5．答案：B　考查形容词。A.沉默的；B.镇定的；C.平静的；D.安静的。句意：——天哪！我又迟到了，我老板会说什么呢？——你现在只有心平气和诚实的解释。故B正确。 6．答案：B　本题考查动词词组词义辨析。本句句意为：在他的新书里，作者了他对农村生活的记忆。set about doing sth＝set out to do sth“着手做某事”；set down“记录、记下”；set up“建立”，根据句意，可知答案B符合语境。 7． 8. 9．答案：C　此处come to“谈到”；come in“进来”；come up“发生”；come over“走过来”。句意：我必须得走了，学校发生了事情，那里需要我。根据句意选C。 10．答案：D　考查宾语从句。句意：对不起，你能告诉我怎么才能去图书馆吗？从句意看是疑问词how，排除AB，另外宾语从句的语气陈述句语序，选D。 11．答案：B　句意：虽然他受伤后处于困境中，但他设法不被敌人抓住。第一空考查短语be in trouble意为：处于困境中；第二空考查escape的用法，其后接动名词。故选B。 12．答案：C　考查连词。A当……时候；B直到；C自从；D在……之前。句意：——你哥哥在这家工厂工作了多久？——自从2010年他从学校辍学。故C正确。 13．答案：B　本题考查省略。本句句意为：当被要求上交作业时，飞利浦给老师讲他把作业忘家里了。当主从句主语一致是，从句的主语和系动词可以被省略，且Philip和ask逻辑上构成被动关系，故用过去分词。本句补充完整应该是：when he was asked to hand in his homework...。 14．答案：A　考查固定句式。I would appreciate it if you could...“如果你能．.....我将不胜感激”。 15．答案：D　本题考查动词时态。本句句意为：只是我们作为一家人第一次一起去电影院看电影。根据固定句型：it is the first time that sb ＋现在完成时，故答案D符合语境。 16．答案：D　许多语言学习者认为他们的读音很好，因为他们的老师不会经常修正他们的读音，或者因为他们的同学能“听懂”他们的话。understand“理解，明白”；mistake“误会”；watch“观察”；surround“包围”。 17．答案：C　在语言学习中，读音是最不被“关注”的领域。pay attention to“注意”。 18．答案：D　大多数老师“通常”只是让学生读(而不关注他们的读音)。 19．答案：A　 “只有当”学生彻底错了的时候，老师们才会阻止学生。only if “只有”；as if“好像”；even if“即使，尽管”；so that“结果，以至于”。 20．答案：B　对班里所有学生的读音进行修正是“不可能的”。fantastic“极好的，异想天开的”；impossible“不可能的”；necessary“必要的”；important“重要的”。 21．答案：C　同样的，读音“好”的学生可能担心如果帮助“指出”同学读音的错误会让同学很尴尬。be good at“擅长”。 22．答案：D　point out“指出”；put out“扑灭”；work out“计算出”；try out“实验”。 23．答案：A　尽管你认为你的读音可能足以“交流”；但是当你真地到了外国的时候，你会很“吃惊”。communicate“交流”；travel“旅游”；pronounce“发音”；exchange“交流，交换”。 24．答案：C　surprised“吃惊的，震惊的”；happy“高兴的”；sad“悲伤的”；excited“激动的”。 25．答案：D　此处指在波兰和美国的共同语言，应该是“英语”。 26．答案：B　只有A、B两项语法正确；再由语境可知，选half。 27．答案：C　你的读音可能与那位以英语为本族语的人“相去甚远”。far from“离．.....远”。 28．答案：C　“如果这是事实”，其他人可能觉得听懂你的话很“难”。If this is the case“如果这是事实”。 29．答案：D　hard“困难的”；easy“容易的”；beneficial“有益的”；convenient“方便的”。 30．答案：A　“总之”，“直到”你与真正的说本族语的人交流测试过你才能用外语交流。in conclusion“总之”；in other words“换句话说”；in total“总和，总共”；on the contrary“相反地”。 31．答案：B　not...until...“直到……才……”。 32．答案：C　 “瞄准”说本族语或者接近本族语的人的读音，这样你才能和人们“顺利地”交流。aim for“瞄准，针对”；stand for“代表”；look for“寻找”；search for“寻找”。 33．答案：A　smoothly“顺利地”；difficultly“困难地”；truly“真诚地”；practically“实用地”。 34．答案：C　为了实现这一目标，“毫无疑问”你需要开始考虑读音并“花时间”关注读音。there in no doubt that...“毫无疑问……”。 35．答案：C　spend time on...“花时间在……”。其他结构不对。 36．答案：B　细节理解题。由首句“The best way of learning a language is using it.”可知，作者认为学习语言最好的方法是多练习，所以选B。 37．答案：C　细节理解题。由第六句“Don't be unhappy if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes.”可知，不要在乎别人的嘲笑，所以选C项。 38．答案：A　推理判断题。根据最后一句“Don't be afraid of making mistakes because everyone makes mistakes.”可推知，不要害怕犯错，学习语言的时候，所有人都会犯错误，所以选A项。 39．答案：D　细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，当有新邻居搬来时，你最好等等看自己到底应该什么时候、以什么样的方式去拜访。 40．答案：D　细节理解题。根据第三段前两句和最后一句可知，对邻居友好不仅能使你和他们相处融洽，在某种程度上，还能给你的家人和房子提供保护。 41．答案：C　主旨大意题。本段的前半部分讲到要乐于帮助邻居，后半部分讲到邻居自然也就会乐于帮助你，由此可知本段的大意是：邻里之间应该互相帮助。 42．答案：D　推理判断题。文章最后一段是全文的总结。作为一个好邻居，应该做到三个方面：尊重邻居的隐私、对邻居友好以及乐于帮助邻居。 43．答案：D　细节理解题。从第二段“I heard her screaming, ‘Take your shoes away!

This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.”可知那些不会阅读和写作的人通常记忆力会比较好，那是因为他们不会写，所以他们不得不努力去记忆。但是并不是说如果你想有更好的记忆力就不要去学习阅读和书写。故C项的说法是错误的。 54．答案：C　细节题。根据文章倒数二，三行“This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.”可知正是因为那些人不会阅读和书写，所以他们不得不努力运用他们的记忆力去记东西，所以他们的记忆力反而会变好。故C正确。 55．答案：B　主旨大意题。根据文章最后一句“So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: Practice remembering.”可知本文主要讲述的是如何才可以有更好的记忆，多加练习。因为练习可以锻炼我们的记忆力，故B正确。 四、六选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 答案：1．F　根据下文中的have a rest得知，本段主题是F，让自己休息一下。 2．E　根据下文的be yourself，find yourself得知本段的主题是E，关注自我。 3．D　根据下文think deeply about the past得知本段主题是D，考虑过去。 4．C　根据下文keep a written record of all your feelings and thoughts 得知此段主题是C，写日记。 5．A　根据下文关键词make a move得知，本段主题是A，行动起来。 五、单句改错（共5小题,每小题2分，满分10分） 61. exciting 改为excited 62. informations 改为 information 63. very 改为 so 64. that 改为it 65. teaches 改为 teaching 参考范文： Dear Miss Chen， It's two months since I entered the senior middle school. I find it difficult to get used to the new school life here. First of all, I have some trouble making new friends. Maybe it's because I am a shy boy and not good at communicating with others that I often feel lonely. Besides, I don't have a good command of English, especially spoken English. As a result, I dare not express myself in class. However, most of my classmates can speak English quite fluently. I feel upset sometimes. What's more, I can't get along well with my deskmate, who is a very stubborn girl. I do want to change the situation and I need your help. I would be very grateful if you could give me some advice. Yours， Liu Dong 1
