2015-2016年度第二学期期中高一英语试题试题总分：120分答题时间：90分钟第一部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）第一节（共15小题，每小题1.5分，满分22.5分）AWhat are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.Escaping from a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways (楼梯) and fire escapes, but not lifts.From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving through windows with the least chance of serious injury.The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person, hanging by the finger-tips (手指尖) will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked (泄露) into the room.On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those which open onto a roof. From the roof a person can dr op to the ground more safely. Dropping onto hard ground might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.1．It is important to ___.A．put out the fire in the burning house B．know the ways to escape the fire C．jump off a burning house D．keep the door closed2．It is possible to escape through the windows ___.A．if there are some bushes on the ground B．if you are strong enoughC．if you live on a lower floor D．If you have a long rope3．Which of the following escaping way is NOT right? ______.A．You can escape though stairways.

Japan is one of them, while others do not have many, for example, there are few earthquakes in Britain. There is often a great noise during an earthquake. The ground vibrates (颤动).Houses fall down. Railways are broken, which causes trains to turn over. Sometimes thousands of people are killed in different ways. About 60,000 were killed in 1783 in the south of Italy. Some people say that earthquakes often happen near volcanoes(火山), but it is not true. The centers of some earthquakes are under the sea. The bottom of the sea suddenly moves. The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks. The coast is shaken and great waves appear. These waves travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it, breaking down houses and other buildings. Sometimes they break more buildings than the earthquake itself.A terrible earthquake happened in Assam, India, in 1986.The land near Shillong suddenly moved 1.5 feet to one side, and then back again. It continued to act like this 20 times a minute. Few buildings could stand what was happening and the great stones flew four feet up into the air. What kind of building stays up best in an earthquake? The Americans carefully studied the results of the earthquake at San Francisco(1906) and believed it best for buildings to be made with concrete(混凝土) walls together by steel frames. Such are the buildings that can't burn or fall easily.6．Which of the following is NOT true?A．Trains' turning over is caused by the earthquakes.B．Some earthquakes have their centers under the sea.C．It isn't certain that earthquakes happen near volcanoes.D．Buildings with concrete walls are better against earth quakes.7．Earthquakes often happen___________ .A．near volcanoes B．Both A and D C．in Britain D．in Japan8．___________ make(s) more loss than the earthquake itself.A．Nothing B．VolcanoesC．Forces inside the earth D．Terrible waves by the earthquake9．When an earthquake happens, ____________can be heard.A．trains B．thousands of people C.a great noise D.the powerful forcesCWelcom e to Shawnee Mountain, a great place for skiing!

I feel there are a number of reasons for this.Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agr ee with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime, it also givesthem time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steer them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.13．According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food? A．Those who often take exercise. B．Those who often watch television.C. Those who often have meals at home.D. Those who often walk to school.14．The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because ．A.their parents often cook meals for themB. they are too busy to go out and playC.they can' t choose what to eatD.there are too many fast food shops around15．The word "steer" underlined in the last sentence most probablymeans .A．force B．guide C．expect D．observe第二节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，共7.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。
