二、完形填空
I have learnt a lot about Chinese life and culture while teaching in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province and found them very interesting．
First, family life is quite 1 in China． In the USA, many young people 2 home after they finish their education and start working． However, in China, it is 3 for people to live with their parents until they get married． 4 , many of my Chinese friends told me that their 5 lived with them and helped take care of them when they were children． It seems that Americans think independence is more important 6 the Chinese think family relationships are more important．
Bargaining is another 7 that I have tried to learn． In the USA, prices are 8 and you can’t ask for a lower price． However in some small Chinese stores and tourist places, you are 9 to bargain． My Chinese friends taught me to ask for 40 percent or 50 percent 10 the original price． If the salesperson doesn’t agree to my price, I should 11 to leave and he might let me come back and sell me the item． It is a skill that you have to 12 if you live in China．
Tipping hasn’t been easier to 13 ． In the USA, many people in the service 14 want to get 15 money for serving customers． Tipping is not a part of Chinese culture． 16 I tried to tip a taxi driver． He looked a little 17 and refused to take the money．
In dinners, perhaps what surprises an American visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their 18 ． Actually, this is a 19 of true friendship and politeness． My Chinese friend told me if I didn’t want to eat it, I should just 20 the food in the plate．

三、阅读理解
1.At the end of my senior year of high school, I got a job working at a local coffee shop．I thought the job would be easy and stress-free．I pictured myself pouring the best coffees, making delicious doughnuts (炸面包圈), and becoming friends with regular customers．
I wasn’t expecting the people with enormous orders, the women who complained that the coffee was much too creamy (含乳脂的), or the men who wanted their iced coffees remade again and again until they reached perfection．I couldn’t seem to please anyone．
One rainy day, one of my regular customers came in looking upset．He said he felt like getting in bed, pulling the sheets up over his head, and staying there for a few years．I knew exactly how he felt．
Before he left, I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee．He was surprised, since he hadn’t ordered anything but coffee．I had given him his favorite type of droughnut． “It’s on me,” I told him．“Have a nice day．”
He smiled and thanked me before heading back out into the rain．
The next day, it was still raining．I spent my afternoon hanging out the window handing people their orders．I was completely wet and freezing cold．Worse, no one was tipping that day．Every time I looked into our empty tip jar, I grew more depressed．
In the evening, the customer from the day before drove up to the window．He handed me a pink rose and a note．He said that not many people took time to care about others and he was glad there were still people like me in the world．With a friendly wave, he drove away． I ran to the back of the shop and read the note．It read: Christine,
Thanks for being so sweet, kind and thoughtful yesterday．It is so nice to meet someone who’s indeed nice．Please don’t change your ways! Have a great day! –Hank
After that, whenever I felt depressed or sick of coffee, I thought of Hank and his kindness．Then I would smile, hold my head up high, clear my throat and ask politely, “How can I help you?” 【1】Why wasn’t the writer happy with her job at first? A．The customers didn’t tip her enough B．It was difficult to make iced coffee perfect C．Everybody had an enormous order
D．The job didn’t turn out as she had expected

【3】The man felt thankful for the writer because ______ A．she was indeed kind to him in a time of need B．she knew exactly how the man felt C．she offered him coffee and food for free D．she comforted him by sharing his pain
【4】What can we learn from the passage? A．Don’t count your eggs until they are hatched
B．If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path C．The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships D．A man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy

3.After lunch,I walked back home. I was just to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping. It wasn’t much but,as I turned, my eyes caught the heads of several other people turning too. A woman had dropped what appeared to be a dime.
The tinkling sound of a coin dropping on pavement is an attention-getter．It Can be nothing more than a
penny．Whatever the coin is，no one ignores the sound of it．It got me thinking about sounds again．We are surrounded by so many sounds that attract the most attention．
People in New York City seldom turn to look when a fire engine，a police car or an ambulance comes screaming along the street．When I’m in New York，I’m a New Yorker．I don’t turn either．Like the natives，I hardly hear a siren(警报)there．
However，at home in my little town in Connecticut，it’s different．The distant sound of a police car, all emergency vehicle or a fire siren brings me to my feet if I’m seated and brings me to the window if I’m in
bed．It’s the quietest sounds that have most effect on us．not the loudest．In the middle of the night, I can hear a dripping tap a hundred yards away thigh three closed doors．I’ve been hearing little creaking noises and sounds which my imaginnation turns into footsteps in the middle of the night for twenty-five years in our house．How come I never hear those sounds in the daytime?
I’m quite clear in my mind what the good sounds are and what the bad sounds are,I’ve turned against whistling，for instance：I used to think of it as the mark of a happy worker but lately I’ve been associating the whistler with a nervous person making unconscious noises．The tapping，tapping，tapping of my typewriter as the keys hit the paper is a lovely sound to me．I often like the sound of what I write better than the looks of it． 【1】The sound of a coin dropping makes people________ A．think of money B．look at each other C．pay attention to it D．stop crossing the street
【2】The author dislikes whistling because__________ A．he has got tired of it B．it reminds him of tense people C．he used to be happier D．he doesn’t like workers
【3】What kind of sound does the author find pleasant? A．Tapping sound of his typewriter． B．Clinking sound of keys C．Tinkling sound of a coin dropping． D．Creaking sound of footsteps
【4】How does the author feel about sounds in general? A．They make him feel al home． B．He thinks they should be ignored C．He prefers silence to loud noises． D．He believes they are part of our life
4.A man was on the side of the road hitchhiking（搭便车）on a very dark night in the middle of a terrible
rainstorm, with no cars on the road．The storm was so strong that the man could hardly see a few feet ahead of him．Suddenly, he saw a car come towards him and stop．The man, without thinking about it, got in the car and closed the door and only then did he realize that there was nobody behind the steering wheel（方向盘）! The car started to move very slowly．The man looked at the road and saw a curve （拐弯处）coming his
way．Terrified, he started to pray, begging for his life．He had not come out of shock when, just before the car hit the curve, a hand suddenly appeared through the window and moved the wheel．The man, paralyzed with fear, watched how the hand appeared every time the car was drawing near a curve．Finally, although terrified,
the man managed to open the door and jump out of the spooky car．Without looking back, the man ran through the storm all the way to the nearest town．In a state of complete horror, the man walked into a nearby bar and asked for two glasses of Scotch whisky．
Then, still shaking with fright, he started telling everybody in the bar about the horrible experience he just went through in the spooky car．Everyone in the bar listened in silence and became frightened, with hair standing on end, when they realized the man was telling the truth because he was crying and he was certainly not drunk! About half an hour later, two other young men walked into the same bar and one said to the other, “Hey, there’s a stupid man who jumped into the car while we were pushing it!”
【1】When the car was first drawing near a curve, the man ________ A．felt very curious B．was extremely frightened C．cried for help D．remained as calm as possible
【2】According to the passage, what made the man’s experience believable? A．His reasonable behavior． B．His vivid description C．His plain appearance． D．His honest attitude
【3】We can infer from the passage that ________ A．it is unsafe for people to take a free ride B．the man was telling a lie to his listeners C．the car probably broke down on the way
D．the two young men were familiar with the man

Imagine waking up to a world where China is the world's leading superpower, astronauts are busy walking on Mars and a brand new political party is ruling the UK? Well, this could be die reality in 14 years if some of the predictions of 100,000 Britons are correct．
The survey asked the people of the UK how they pictured the world in 2025．
Nearly half believe Prince William will be crowned King of England instead of Prince Charles although one in six think the monarchy （君主制度） will have been abolished．A quarter of those surveyed believe a new party will form the government in 2025 although the same number of people think that Labor will be back in power． On the world stage 60 per cent think China is set to become the world's leading superpower, while a third of us think Great Britain will be made up of four self- governed countries．
Meanwhile technology will have come on in leaps and bounds．Four percent are optimistic that there will be a permanent human base on Mars while one in ten expect a colony of humans to be living in space．More than half questioned in the MSN study predict people will watch all their favorite shows via TV sets hooked up to the Internet．Two - thirds believe cosmetic surgery（整容手术） will have become common place and one in six think we will look after our own health using computers rather than . But at least we can amuse ourselves with the daily comings and goings of pop singers and reality stars, as more than half thinks that “celebrity（明星）”will be a registered profession. 【1】What is the main idea of the text?(less than 10 words)

江苏高一高中英语期末考试答案及解析
一、单项选择
1.The lady said she would buy a gift for her daughter with the ________. A．20 dollars remained B．20 dollars to remain C．remained 20 dollars D．remaining 20 dollars
【答案】D
【解析】考查现在分词做定语：句意：这个女士说她会用剩下的20美元给女儿买个礼物。由于 remain 为不及物动词，所以包含过去分词 remained的A和C不宜选(因为两者均含有被动意味)；选项B也不宜选，不定式to remain 用作修饰 20 dollars 的后置定语，由于彼此之间有逻辑上的动宾关系，故不妥（因为 remain 不及物）。现在分词remaining 的意思是“剩下的”。选D。 【考点】考查现在分词做定语
点评：当分词做定语的时候，如果构成分词的动词与名词构成主动关系，就使用现在分词做定语；当二者构成被动关系，使用过去分词做定语。单独的一个分词做定语要放在名词的前面，分词短语做定语要放在分词的后面。
2.Many students were watching the story of the heroes from Changjiang University on TV, ________ moved to tears.
A．all of them B．all of whom C．all of that D．all of which
【答案】A
【解析】考查独立主格结构：句意：很多学生在观看电视上长江大学英雄的故事，所有的人都被感动的流泪了。因为没有连词，逗号前面是完整的句子，后面可能是定语从句，也可能是独立主格结构，因为move是及物动词，用过去分词表示被动，不是谓语，所以不是定语从句，而是独立主格结构，选A。 【考点】考查独立主格结构
点评：当分词做状语的时候，如果分词的逻辑主语与句子主语没有关系，就在分词的前面直接加上逻辑主语，形成独立主格结构，该结构在作用上久相当于一个状语从句。
3.How long ___ to finish the work ? A．will you take B．will you take C．you will take D．will it take you
【答案】D
【解析】考查固定句型：全句的意思是：你要花多长时间来完成这项工作？使用的是句型it takes sb. some time to do sth. 意为：某人花费时间做某事，这里 的it是形式主语，真实主语是 to finish the work，因为疑问句要主谓倒装。此句中的主语是it，而情态动词will 倒装于it 前。选D。 【考点】考查固定句式
点评：在高中的学习中平时要多积累固定句式的用法，考试时只能凭借记忆力来答题，尤其是单项选择很难推出某个句式的意思，所以平时的积累记忆是尤其重要的。学生可以将常考的全部积累在一起，通过反复的复习，从而达到永久的记忆下来。
4.I don't know what to_________at the university. I can't make any forecasts about my future. A．take in B．take over C．take off D．take up
【答案】D
【解析】考查词组：A. take in吸收，欺骗，理解。B. take over 接管，C. take off脱下，起飞，（事业）起步， D. take up占据，从事，学习，句意：我不知道大学学习什么，我不能对未来做预测。选D。 【考点】考查动词短语辨析
点评：动词短语是高考常考内容。可以按照以下方法学习：1.在每个部分找出自己最熟悉或者最理解的短语，并根据该短语助记总体意思；2.熟记动词本身所具有的全部意思；3.重点根据小品词在该项中的总体意思结合动词本身的意思，理解自己最不理解和不熟悉的短语4.脱离汉语，只看英语动词短语，并放到具体句子和场景中认识动词短语5.注意有些短语意义很接近, 这要结合例句和上下文掌握它们的用法。
5.— Did you know any Chinese, Joyce, before you arrived in Beijing? — In fact, never _______ it. A．have I learned B．I have learned C．had I learned D．I had learned
【答案】C
【解析】考查倒装句和时态：句意：--Joyce，你在到中国前懂汉语吗？--事实上，我以前从没学过。Never是否定词，放在句首，句子用部分倒装，而且没有学习汉语是在到中国前，用过去完成时，选C。 【考点】考查部分倒装句
点评：部分倒装即只把谓语的一部分（如助动词、情态动词等）放到主语前，或把句子的强调成分提前。以否定词开头的句子要求部分倒装。注意下列句子中助动词或情态动词提前、甚至补充助动词的用法：Nor did he let the disease stop him from living the kind of life he has always dreamt about（疾病没有使他放弃过上梦想中的生活）
6.He ________ to the lab than he set out to do the experiment. A．has no sooner got B．no sooner got C．will no sooner get D．had no sooner got
【答案】D
【解析】考查固定句型：句子意思：他一来到实验室就开始做实验。 “no sooner …than…”是一个句型，表示“一……就……”。这个句型对时态有要求的，主句用过去式，从句用过去完成时。 【考点】固定句型
点评：固定句型考的是平时学生的词汇和短语的积累量，对常见的固定句型要了然于心，了解每个选项的含义是做好此类题型的关键，对于这类题，可从句意着手，同时，对于平时的学习要多进行积累词汇，考试时才能很好的完成。类似的句型还有：hardly…when…， scarcely…when…
7.About 6% of the population in New Zealand _________ Asians. A．are B．is C．make up D．are from
【答案】A
【解析】考查主谓一致：主语是population和百分比连用，谓语用复数，排除B项，因为横线后面是Asians，所以不是D，如果是C项，应该改成are made up of，句意：新西兰6%的人口是亚洲人。选A。 【考点】考查主谓一致
点评：在英语中，句子的主语和谓语动词要保持数上的一致关系，叫主谓一致。这种关系通常要遵循下面三条原则：1．语法一致原则。句子的主语是单数形式，谓语动词要用单数形式；主语是复数形式，谓语动词用复数形式2．意义一致原则即谓语动词该用单数还是复数取决于主语所表达的内容在含义是单数意义还是复数意义。3．邻近原则谓语动词该用单数还是复数形式，取决于最邻近它的名词、代词或其它词的数。
8.Sophie whispered to me,” Martin is said to the murder.” A．be related to B．link to C．be relating to D．be linking to
【答案】A
【解析】考查词组：句意：Sophie对我低语说：Martin据说和这个谋杀案有关。be related to“关于”， 或be linked to，只有A符合。选A。 【考点】考查词组
点评：词组的考查没有捷径，只有加强平时的背诵，包括词组本身的含义，一词多义，以及词组和动词的搭配，做题时别忘了弄懂句意和上下文的逻辑关系，进行判断。学生平时要特别注意这方面的积累。
9.It seems to some experts that there are only three commonly-used vedio websites in this area: 56.com, Youku.com, Tudou.com and they_______ 90% of the market.(成都市) A．make up B．put up C．set up D．take up
【答案】A
【解析】考查词组：A. make up组成（比例），化妆，合好，编造，B. put up竖起，张贴，C. set up建立，D. take up从事，占据（时间，空间），句意：对一些专家来说，在这个地区只有三个常用的视频网站：56.com, Youku.com, Tudou.com，它们占据了市场的90%。选A。 【考点】考查动词固定搭配
点评：固定短语的考查是高考中的重点内容，在高中的学习中平时要多积累固定搭配的用法，考试时只能凭借记忆力来答题，尤其是单项选择很难推出某个搭配的意思，所以平时的积累记忆是尤其重要的。学生可以将常考的全部积累在一起，通过反复的复习，从而达到永久的记忆下来。
10.During the tourist season, there are many people wandering in this city to see the old castles _____ in the sixteenth century. A．to be built B．being built C．having been built D．built
【答案】D
【解析】考查过去分词做定语：句意：到旅游季节，人们漫步于这个城市，欣赏着建造于16世纪的古城堡。built表示已经建完；being built表示正在被建；having been built 一般不做定语，to be built表示将要被建；因为是建造于16世纪的古城堡，所以选D。 【考点】考查非谓语动词的用法
点评：非谓语动词是高中的重点及难点，也是高考常考的语法项目，但是该题不是纯考语法，而是把它放到一定的语言环境里进行考查，这就增加了试题的难度。当非谓语的动词作定语时判断用非谓语的动词的哪种形式一要看动词和它的中心词之间是被动关系还是主动关系。二要看谓语动词与非谓语动词动作发生的前后。
11.----How did you find the party ? ----Perfect ! It ______ very well . A．turned off B．went off C．got off D．put off
【答案】B
【解析】考查词组：句意：--你认为聚会怎样？--很好。进展很顺利。go off 此处表示”进行”。turn off=\"switch\" off”关上”,get off”下车”,put off”推迟”。 答案选B。 【考点】考查动词短语辨析
点评：动词短语是高考必考题，在平时的学习中要把同种类型的短语放在一起比较，如同一个动词+不同的介词/副词；同一个介词/副词+不同的动词。诸如此类的固定短语，属于最基本的知识，如果学生有错误，则应该加强背诵并平时多解题，进而加以巩固.
12.Mary realized she ________. A．was playing a joke about B．was making fun of C．was being laughed at D．was made fun
【答案】C
【解析】考查词组和被动语态：make fun of sb 是取笑某人，mary 与make fun of 之间是被动关系。排除BD项，play a joke about sb也是“取笑某人”，Mary和play a joke about也是被动关系，排除A，选C。
【考点】考查固定搭配
点评：固定短语的考查是高考中的重点内容，在高中的学习中平时要多积累固定搭配的用法，考试时只能凭借记忆力来答题，尤其是单项选择很难推出某个搭配的意思，所以平时的积累记忆是尤其重要的。学生可以将常考的全部积累在一起，通过反复的复习，从而达到永久的记忆下来。
13.American is an ________ country. You can hear _______ every where. A．English-spoken ; English speaking B．English-speaking ; English spoken C．speaking English ; English spoken D．spoken-English ; English speaking
【答案】B
【解析】考查复合形容词和宾语补足语用法。复合形容词English-speaking 讲英语的..；第二空的English与
speak构成被动关系，故使用过去分词的形式。句意：美国是一个讲英语的国家。你到处都可以听见有人讲英语。故B正确。
【考点】考查复合形容词和宾语补足语用法
点评：复合形容词要加强对其形成结构的记忆，名词+现在分词；名词+过去分词等不同的形式；宾语补足语要看动词与宾语的关系，通过构成主动，就用现在分词，如果构成被动就用过去分词。
14.You are driving too fast. Can you drive_________? A．more slowly a bit B．slowly a bit more C．a bit more slowly D．slowly more bit
【答案】C
【解析】考查副词的比较级：句意：你开车太快了，能开得慢一点吗？slowly 的比较级是在其前加more,a bit是修饰slowly的比较级，放在前面，选C。 【考点】考查副词的比较级
点评：多音节和部分双音节的形容词副词的比较级在前面加more，最高级加the most，另外比较级还可以用a bit, a little, a lot, even, far, much，any，still等修饰。
15.—Where are we going for the National Day,the mountains or the sea? — Either will be fine with me. A．Definitely! B．It’s up to you C．You’ve got it D．That’s great!
【答案】B
【解析】考查交际用语：A.Definitely! 一定的，B.It’s up to you由你决定， C.You’ve got it你猜中了，D.That’s great!太好了，句意：国庆节你要去哪里，山上还是海边？--由你决定，对我来说都可以。选B。 【考点】考查交际用语
点评：情景交际的考查关键在于理解上下文语境，同时要注意辨析选项的意思，平时多熟记交际用语，尤其是一些与汉语相差较大的表达。做这类试题，要求同学们按照所给的情景，选择最佳问句或答句，完成题目。要想做好这类题目，关键是平时要养成讲英语的良好习惯，努力提高口语水平，熟练掌握日常会话项目中常用的问答语。

First, family life is quite 1 in China． In the USA, many young people 2 home after they finish their education and start working． However, in China, it is 3 for people to live with their parents until they get married． 4 , many of my Chinese friends told me that their 5 lived with them and helped take care of them when they were children． It seems that Americans think independence is more important 6 the Chinese think family relationships are more important．
Bargaining is another 7 that I have tried to learn． In the USA, prices are 8 and you can’t ask for a lower price． However in some small Chinese stores and tourist places, you are 9 to bargain． My Chinese friends taught me to ask for 40 percent or 50 percent 10 the original price． If the salesperson doesn’t agree to my price, I should 11 to leave and he might let me come back and sell me the item． It is a skill that you have to 12 if you live in China．
Tipping hasn’t been easier to 13 ． In the USA, many people in the service 14 want to get 15 money for
serving customers． Tipping is not a part of Chinese culture． 16 I tried to tip a taxi driver． He looked a little 17 and refused to take the money．
In dinners, perhaps what surprises an American visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their 18 ． Actually, this is a 19 of true friendship and politeness． My Chinese friend told me if I didn’t want to eat it, I should just 20 the food in the plate．

三、阅读理解
1.At the end of my senior year of high school, I got a job working at a local coffee shop．I thought the job would be easy and stress-free．I pictured myself pouring the best coffees, making delicious doughnuts (炸面包圈), and
becoming friends with regular customers．
I wasn’t expecting the people with enormous orders, the women who complained that the coffee was much too creamy (含乳脂的), or the men who wanted their iced coffees remade again and again until they reached perfection．I couldn’t seem to please anyone．
One rainy day, one of my regular customers came in looking upset．He said he felt like getting in bed, pulling the sheets up over his head, and staying there for a few years．I knew exactly how he felt．
Before he left, I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee．He was surprised, since he hadn’t ordered anything but coffee．I had given him his favorite type of droughnut． “It’s on me,” I told him．“Have a nice day．”
He smiled and thanked me before heading back out into the rain．
The next day, it was still raining．I spent my afternoon hanging out the window handing people their orders．I was completely wet and freezing cold．Worse, no one was tipping that day．Every time I looked into our empty tip jar, I grew more depressed．
In the evening, the customer from the day before drove up to the window．He handed me a pink rose and a note．He said that not many people took time to care about others and he was glad there were still people like me in the world．With a friendly wave, he drove away． I ran to the back of the shop and read the note．It read: Christine,
Thanks for being so sweet, kind and thoughtful yesterday．It is so nice to meet someone who’s indeed nice．Please don’t change your ways! Have a great day! –Hank

3.After lunch,I walked back home. I was just to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping. It wasn’t much but,as I turned, my eyes caught the heads of several other people turning too. A woman had dropped what appeared to be a dime.

penny．Whatever the coin is，no one ignores the sound of it．It got me thinking about sounds again．We are surrounded by so many sounds that attract the most attention．
People in New York City seldom turn to look when a fire engine，a police car or an ambulance comes screaming along the street．When I’m in New York，I’m a New Yorker．I don’t turn either．Like the natives，I hardly hear a siren(警报)there．
However，at home in my little town in Connecticut，it’s different．The distant sound of a police car, all emergency vehicle or a fire siren brings me to my feet if I’m seated and brings me to the window if I’m in
bed．It’s the quietest sounds that have most effect on us．not the loudest．In the middle of the night, I can hear a dripping tap a hundred yards away thigh three closed doors．I’ve been hearing little creaking noises and sounds which my imaginnation turns into footsteps in the middle of the night for twenty-five years in our house．How come I never hear those sounds in the daytime?
I’m quite clear in my mind what the good sounds are and what the bad sounds are,I’ve turned against whistling，for instance：I used to think of it as the mark of a happy worker but lately I’ve been associating the whistler with a nervous person making unconscious noises．The tapping，tapping，tapping of my typewriter as the keys hit the paper is a lovely sound to me．I often like the sound of what I write better than the looks of it． 【1】The sound of a coin dropping makes people________ A．think of money B．look at each other C．pay attention to it D．stop crossing the street
