 四、阅读理解（30分）A  I was on holiday in a strange place. One morning I got up early and went off into the forest looking for beautiful birds. But I lost my way, and didn’t know how to come back. I took a cell phone with me, but it didn’t work there. It was night and I was frightened because I was alone and there were full of dangerous animals. I climbed up to a tree and was afraid to sleep. Next morning I was tired. I thought what I should do to save myself. I tore my clothes into small pieces and tied them to the trees that I passed. At last my friend found me according to the pieces that I left. I was saved. That was an unforgettable experience in my life.51.Did the writer take a cell phone with him?A.Yes, he did.B.No, he didn’t.C.Yes, he didn’t.D.No, he did.52.What was wrong with his mobile phone?A.It was broken.B.He lost it.C.We don’t know.D.He didn’t take it.53.Where did he stay at that night?A.In the tree.B.On the tree.C.Under the tree.D.Near the tree.54.Who saved the writer?A.His father.B.His friend.C.His mother.D.None.55.The writer is ________.A.cleverB.lazyC.carelessD.unhealthyBMany people say that they are working too many hours. They don’t have enough time to relax or to stay with their family. Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker. Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don’t pay overtime. Their workers don’t get more pay for more work. Some people think it’s their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don’t work more hours. Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying,“All work and no play makes Jack a dull （迟钝的） boy.”If that is true, there must be a lot of dull people in the world.56.A Japanese worker works         more hours a year than a French one.A.513B.1,646C.2,159D.3,80557.The word “extra” in Paragraph 3 means “       ”.A.正常的B.额外的C.有用的D.少量的58.People in        get only two weeks of paid vacation a year.A.FranceB.GermanyC.the United StatesD.Great Britain59.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.No companies offer vacations to their workers.B.Many people say they have enough time to relax.C.Not all companies pay their workers for more work.D.More than half of workers use all their vacation days.60.What can we infer from the passage?A.Many workers have to work long hours.B.Many people have vacations long enough.C.Work hours are the same around the world.D.There are a lot of dull people in the world.CMedical experts say most Americans do not get enough sleep. They say more Americans need to take a nap—that is to rest for a short period in the middle of the day. They give people advice to sleep lightly before continuing with other activities. The experts say naps might improve health by reducing pressure.Some European and Latin American companies have supported the idea of napping for many years. They ask people to leave work, go home and have a nap before returning. In the United States, some companies let workers rest simply in their offices. They believe this can help workers make fewer mistakes and also increase the amount of work that a person can do.Sleep experts say it is likely that people make more mistakes at work than at other times. They say people should not carry out important tasks when they feel sleepy. And they say the best thing to do is to take a nap. About twenty minutes of rest is all you need. Experts say this provides extra energy and can increase your effects until the end of the day. But experts said that a nap should last no more than twenty to thirty minutes. A longer nap will put the body into deep sleep and waking up will be difficult.61.This passage is probably taken from          .A.a story bookB.a posterC.a science fictionD.a medical magazine62.What’s the best way to increase workers’ effects?A.Talking with friends.B.Doing relaxing exercises.C.Laughing, smiling and crying.D.Having a rest for twenty or thirty minutes.63.What will happen to the workers if they keep on working without any rest?A.They will get a lot of money.B.They will fail in their jobs and even cause a lot of trouble.C.They will live a happy life in the future.D.They will feel better after finishing everyday jobs.64.The meaning of the underlined word “reducing” in the first paragraph is          .A.加大 B.缓解C.产生D.制造65.The passage mainly talks about          .A.taking a nap during the dayB.the disadvantages of taking a napC.Americans who don’t have a nap during the weekendsD.the advantages of deep sleep五、根据句意及首字母或汉语提示完成单词（5分）66.—What’s your a________,Henry?

  期末检测题参考答案二、21.C  由第一句句意“我错过了《狮子王》这部卡通片的开头”可知第一个空用定冠词the表示特指，排除Ａ、Ｄ两项； hour读音以元音音素开头，其前用不定冠词an，half an hour意为“半小时”。故选Ｃ。22.B  由前一分句中的two sisters可知，此处指两人，而all和none指三者或三者以上，故排除Ａ、Ｄ两项；neither表示“两者中没有一个”，由关键词“is”可以判断用neither；both表示“两者都”，谓语动词需用复数形式。句意：我有两个姐姐，但她们没有一个是教师。23.D  由后句“It is a heart.”可知此处是说蛋糕的形状。故选D。24.D  me是宾格代词；mine是名词性物主代词；I是主格代词；my是形容词性物主代词。空格后有名词movie，故用形容词性物主代词修饰。句意：《人再囧途之泰囧》是一部非常成功的喜剧，它是我最喜欢的电影。25.C  句意为“我们正在计划为她的15岁生日举办一个惊喜派对”。for 表示目的，意为“为了”。故选C。26.B  句意:“你家离学校多远？”“步行大约两个小时的路程。”由句意可知，此处应使用名词所有格形式。hour是可数名词，在基数词two后应使用复数形式hours，以-s结尾的复数名词的所有格直接在词尾加“’”构成。故选Ｂ。27.C  report “报告”，article “文章”，story “故事”，三者都是可数名词；information  “信息”，是不可数名词。much修饰不可数名词。故选C。28.D  fun意为“乐趣”；success意为“成功”；advice意为“建议”；difficulty意为“困难”。由问句中“你能帮我吗？”可知，上句句意应为“我独自完成这项工作有很大困难”。故选D。29.A  colour“颜色”；book“书”；song“歌曲”；movie “电影”。由答语中的“She is always in pink.(她总是穿粉色的衣服。)”可知问句句意应为“高老师最喜欢的颜色是什么？”故选A。30.D  thousands of是固定短语，意为“成千上万的”。句意：临沂市政府正在为人们建造成千上万栋质优价廉的房子。31.A  英语中常用“名词+基数词”表示编了号的物品，此时名词与基数词的首字母都要大写，Page Twelve意为“第12页”；也可用“序数词+名词”来表示此意，但序数词前一般要加定冠词the，the fifth picture意为“第5幅图”，故选A。32. B  句意：母亲节在每年五月份的        星期天。由句意推知应使用序数词，根据生活常识可知母亲节在每年五月份的第二个星期天。故选B。33.B  news（消息）是不可数名词，前面不能加不定冠词a或an，故排除Ａ、Ｃ两项。surprising意为“令人惊讶的”，surprised意为“感到惊讶的”，再排除Ｄ项。nobody作主语时，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。句意：这是多么令人惊讶的消息啊！没有人相信它。34.B  cost表示“花费”时多指花费金钱，且主语通常是物；spend表示“花费”时可指花费时间或金钱，常用于句型Sb. spend(s)... on sth.；take表示“花费”时通常指花费时间，常用于句型It takes sb. some time to do sth.；use表示“使用；耗费”。由主语I和介词on可知，本句结构应为Sb. spend(s)... on sth.。故选Ｂ。35.C  count“数”；choose“选择”；check“查明，核实”；catch“抓住，捉住”。由英语提示可推知句意应为“我将到车站接简。请查一下她什么时候到达”。故本题应选C。36. D  宾语从句必须用陈述语序，故排除Ｂ、Ｃ两项。主句为一般过去时，从句也要用相应的过去时，再排除Ａ项。故选Ｄ。37. C  本句的先行词是the man，关系词在定语从句中作主语。当先行词指人，并且关系词在定语从句中作主语时，用who或that引导定语从句。故选C。38. A  在含有if引导的条件状语从句的主从复合句中，主句用一般将来时，从句用一般现在时表示将来，故选A。句意：如果我们上床睡觉太晚，对我们来说早上起床将会很难。39. B  how often询问动作发生的频率，四个选项中只有About twice a month.（大约每月两次。）和Almost every day.（几乎每天。）表示频率，故排除Ａ、Ｄ两项。再由下句“我忙于我的学业”可知，“我”在网上与朋友聊天并不频繁，故选Ｂ项。40. D  句中已有主语it，weather（天气）是名词，故感叹句用what引导，排除B、C两项。再由下句句意“我们不能去玄武湖划船了”可推知，现在天气不好，故用形容词bad。因此选D。三、41.A  important“重要的”；expensive“昂贵的”；useless“无用的”；interesting“有趣的”。由第一段第二句中的because it was a gift from his father (因为这块表是他爸爸送给他的礼物)可知，前文应该是指这块表不贵，但对他来说很重要，故选A。其他三项不符合语境。42.B  根据上下文情景可推知， 这位农民要寻找自己的表。find“找到”；search“在……中搜寻”；watch“观看；注视”；study“研究”。空格后the barn作宾语，所以search符合题意，句意为“在搜寻谷仓许久之后……”。43.D  由上下文情景可知此处表示“这位农民向在附近玩耍的一群孩子寻求‘帮助’”。ask for help是固定搭配， 意为“寻求帮助”。44.A   promise“承诺，许诺”；teach“教”；warn“警告”；believe“相信”。由后面the person who found the watch would be rewarded（找到手表的人将得到奖赏）可知，promise（承诺）符合题意。45.C   angrily“生气地”；slowly“慢慢地”；immediately“立即，马上”；hardly“几乎不”。由此句中的hurried（赶紧，赶快）可推知，孩子们马上冲进了谷仓，因此immediately符合题意。46.D  本文主要叙述了找表的过程，因此watch符合题意。句意为“他们到处搜寻，但仍然没能找到那块手表”。47.B  way“方法”；chance“机会”；lesson“功课，教训”；smile“微笑”。由下文After a while the little boy came out with the watch in his hand!可知，这个小男孩又进去找那块表。因此可推知，一个小男孩让这位农民再给他一次进谷仓找手表的机会。48.B  throw“丢，扔”；send“送”； give“给”； catch“抓住”。根据后面的came out可知该句表示“因此农民又把那个小男孩送回谷仓找手表”，故选B。49.C  come“来”；know“知道”；succeed“成功”；suggest“建议”。由前句After a while the little boy came out with the watch in his hand!和句末where the rest had failed中的关键词failed可推知，succeed符合题意。50.C  beautiful“美丽的”；smart“聪明的”；peaceful“安静的；平静的”；quick“迅速的”。由than可知空格处与后文中的excited（兴奋的，激动的）相对，故peaceful符合语境。句意：这告诉我们相对于在兴奋的心态下，有时在平静的心态下人们能够更好地思考。四、51.A由原文中“I took a cell phone with me”可以判断，作者当时带了手机。52.C由文中“but it didn’t work there”可以判断，作者的手机不能用了，但是没说明原因。53.A作者爬上了一棵树，人在树上用in the tree，树叶、果实等长在树上用on the tree。54.B由原文中“At last my friend found me”可以得出答案。55.A从文中作者把衣服撕成片做记号可以看出他很聪明。56.A  由短文第二段中“In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year.”可知，每个日本工人每年比每个法国工人多工作513个小时，故选A。57.B  由画线单词所在句句意“一些人在……时间工作是因为他们想要赚到更多的钱”可推知画线单词extra意为“额外的”，故选B。58.C  由短文第四段中“In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks.”可知，美国人每年有两周的带薪休假时间，故选C。59.C  由短文第四段内容可知A项错误；由第一段中“They don’t have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.”可知许多人说他们没有足够的时间放松，故B项错误；由第三段中“However, many companies don’t pay overtime.”可知许多公司不给加班者额外的工资，故C项正确；由最后一段中“One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days.”可知不到一半的人享受了他们全部的假期，故D项错误。60.A  由短文第三段中“Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don’t work more hours.”可推知“许多工人不得不工作很长的时间”。故选A。61.D  在第一段和第三段中，医学专家和睡眠专家分别分析了中午小睡一下对人们的好处。由此可以推断，这篇文章摘自一本医学杂志，而不是一本故事书、一张海报或者一本科幻小说。62.D   在第三段中，专家指出，提高工作效率最好的方法是小睡一下，但最多睡20至30分钟。63.B   由第三段的第一、二句Sleep experts say it is likely that people make more mistakes at work than at other times. They say people should not carry out important tasks when they feel sleepy.可以看出，专家的观点是：当人们感到困倦时不应该做重要的工作。这隐含的意思是：如果人们一直工作不休息，他们的工作就会做不好，甚至会引起许多麻烦。64.B  在本段中，医学专家建议在中午小睡一下。由常识可知，通过缓解压力才能增进健康。由The experts say naps might improve health...（专家们说小睡可能增进健康……）可以判断reducing的意思是“缓解”。65.A  通读全文可知，本文主要谈论了小睡，分析了它对人们身体和工作的好处，故只有A项为正确答案。五、66. age   67.purpose   68.National   69.listeners   70.success六、One possible version：I am a student. Though I’m busy with my lessons, my free time is full of happiness and joy. I love reading because it helps me study better. I often do some reading in the evening. I think books are our best friends. They give us much knowledge. I find reading books is a good way to relax myself. At the same time it can also help me open up my eyes to the outside world. So I suggest that teachers should give us less homework to do so that we can have more time to read.our best friends.
