2021-2022学年山东省聊城市高一下学期期末考试英语试题

1. There are some great winter sports that are just waiting to be explored. Some or more extreme

than others, but still definitely worth

Ice Skating

Invented more than 4000 years ago by the Finnish, it remains loved by so many all over the world.

People of all ages can take advantage of this fun sport, as it is a great way to be outdoors and get a

bit of exercise. Experts say that the more you practice, the belter your balance, co-coordination, and

flexibility will become. So put on a pair of skates and get moving on the rink.

Snowcross

Snowcross is a sport suitable for people who are a bit more adventurous. Over the last several years,

snowcross has increased in popularity and is one of the most sought-after forms of snowmobile races

and a really trendy winter sport. Snowcross is popular in the USA, Canada, Sweden, and Finland.

Sound fun? Why not give it a try?

Ice Hockey

Ice hockey is not just one of the most popular winter Olympic sports but has also recently become a

common international sport. Ice hockey is fast passed and full of energy that also involved numerous

intricate (复杂精细的) tricks and movements. It doesn’t only have a competitive side, it also is

super fun!

Snowboarding

Snowboarding is another really fun snow sport that is definitely worth trying this winter. It’s not the

same as skiing, the main difference between snowboarding and skiing is that snowboarding does not

use poles and most people use softer boots for flexibility. Snowboarding has only recently been

added to the winter Olympics. There are hundreds of different resorts around the world that allow

you to experience this popular sport.

2. Leonora Buenviaje has been making women’s clothes out of waste materials, usually dresses. She

says wearing clothes made from waste materials can be both economical and look good.

Buenviaje is 51-years-old and from Cainta in the Philippines. To make her dresses, she uses a foot-operated sewing machine (缝纫机) to join together the waste materials. These include recycled

newspapers, plastic wrapping and rice sacks. She creates new and beautiful clothes women can wear.

They are sometimes completed with a piece called a headdress that goes on top of the head.

“The bubble wraps (气泡包装) from delivery packages are nice looking and make for a good design,

especially the black and white wraps,” she said. Bubble wrap is a plastic product that is used to

protect goods that are being delivered. She said white bubble wraps were good for making wedding

dresses. The dresses sell for between $30 to $50. They are used for everything from coming-of-age

parties for a woman’s 18th birthday, called debuts (首秀), to weddings.

In Asia, there is plenty of waste material for Buenviaje to work with: about 80 percent of the world

ocean plastic is estimated to come from Asian rivers. A 2021 report by Oxford University’s online

publication, Our World in Data, found that the Philippines is responsible for one third of Asia’s

ocean plastic pollution.

“It’s important to recycle or utilize waste materials so we can help our earths,” said Lalaine Alcalde,

who buys clothes from Buenviaje. Buenviaje said the recycled materials used for each dress depend

on what her buyers are looking for.

1. What can we learn about Buenviaje from paragraph 2?

A．She likes wearing beautiful clothes.

C．She made headdress from newspapers.

A．Modern weddings.

C．Special occasions.

4. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?

A．Bubble Wraps: An Inspiration for Good Designs

B．Philippine Designer Makes Women’s Clothes Out of Waste

C．Ocean Plastic Pollution: A Threat to People’s Life

D．Philippine Designer Provides Recycled Clothes for Women

3. The legal age to drive a car in the United States is 16. Getting a driver’s license on the day you

turn 16 has long been a major life event for many young people in America.

But interest in driving among today’s teenagers has dropped sharply over the past 35 years. In 1983,

80 percent of 18-year-olds in America had a driver’s license — the document that permits a person

to drive a motor vehicle. By 2018, that number had dropped to 61 percent. Among 16-year-olds, the

number decreased from 46 percent in 1983 to 25 percent in 2018.

Young people say they have many reasons for delaying or avoiding getting a driver’s license. Some

choose more environmentally friendly transportation choices. Others find driving to be stressful.

And some simply do not care about cars at all.

Carmakers want to make their vehicles more attractive to young people. They seek to make cars

more interesting to a generation raised on technology.

Mark Rushbrook is global director of Ford Performance Motorsports. “A big screen” is what today’s

teen drivers want, he said. “I think what is important to them is staying connected in a safe way,”

Rushbrook said. “The vehicle is an extension (延伸) of their iPhone or their screen device, they want

to stay connected and bring their music and everything else with them into the car.”

Mark Reuss is president of General Motors. He said he believes there is still a market for young

people who care about more than just their music and connectivity (连接功能). “You still have to

deliver connectivity in something people love to look at and be seen in.” he said. “That generation

has not been lost. They still want a great ” He added, “There’s lots of different ways to

make cars appealing and that doesn’t go away.”

1. How is paragraph 2 developed?

A．By giving examples.

C．By giving reasons.

B．By following the time line.

D．By making comparisons.

2. Which can be a reason for young people avoiding getting driving licenses?

A．Feeling anxious when driving.

C．Not caring about the environment.

3. What can be inferred from Rushbrook’s words?

A．Smarter cars will attract teens more.

B．Cars with iPhones are being expected.

C．Music connectivity is the most important for teens.

D．The car screen will be bigger and bigger.

4. How does Mark Reuss say about young people?

A．They are not the biggest customers.

C．They still want good-looking vehicles.

4. “We thought dogs would behave like children under age 5, but now we guess that perhaps dogs

can understand when someone is dishonest,” says Huber at the University of Vienna in Austria.

B．They prefer to drive in different ways.

D．They will never change their driving taste.

B．Lacking a sense of direction.

D．Hating public transportation.

“Maybe they think, ‘This person has the same knowledge as me, but is giving me the wrong

information.’ It’s possible they could see that as lying.”

Once that trust was established, the team had the dogs see another person move the food from the

first to the second bowl. The communicators (交流者) were either in the room, and also saw the

switch (转移), or were briefly absent and so apparently unaware that the food had been switched. In

either case, the communicators would later recommend the first bowl, which was now empty.

In previous versions of this experiment with children under age 5, the participants reacted in

particular ways. They would typically ignore the communicator who gave honest but misleading

advice on where the food was. However, if the communicator had been in the room and seen the

switch, but still recommended the first (now empty) bowl, young children were actually much more

likely to follow the communicator’s knowingly misleading suggestion.

This may be because the children trusted the communicator over the evidence of their own eyes,

says Huber.

The dogs in the new experiment, however, weren’t so trusting of lying communicators, much to the

researchers’ surprise, says Huber. Half of the dogs would follow the communicator’s misleading

advice if the communicator hadn’t seen the food switch. But only one-third of dogs followed the

communicator who had seen the food switch and still recommended the now-empty bowl. These

dogs simply went to the bowl filled with food instead. “They did not rely on the communicator

anymore,” says Huber.

1. What do Huber’s words in paragraph 1 show?

A．Dogs won’t believe people any longer.

C．Dogs are a lot cleverer than we thought.

2. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．The communicator’s suggestion.

C．The communicator’s purpose.

B．The dogs’ reaction in the experiment.

D．The children’s reaction in the experiment.

B．We can train dogs to act like children.

D．Humans often treat dogs as friends.

3. Who would the dogs more likely trust according to the last paragraph?

A．The one who didn’t see the food switch.

C．The one who recommended the wrong

bowl.

4. What can we conclude from the passage?

A．Dogs are cleverer than children under age

5.

C．We can train dogs to find food in different

ways.

B．Dogs can sometimes tell when people are

lying.

D．We should be honest like dogs.

B．The one who moved the food.

D．The one who saw the food switch.

5. A few days ago, our school held a two-day food festival. Before the food festival started, the

school had set up tents and posted menus at the gate of the canteen to attract students. 1

On the first day of the food festival, when the bell rang after the last class in the morning, everyone

rushed to the booths (摊位) in front of the canteen. 2 There was a long line in front of each booth.

Everyone sweated in the burning sun, but the heat didn’t stop the students’ enthusiasm for delicious

food. Fortunately, I bought a cup of milk tea that I had been longing for in just a few minutes. It

tasted even better than I had imagined!

3 Without any experience, I chose to try as much food as I could, which gave me so much joy and

satisfaction. For example, I fell in love with the crispy durian pastry (榴莲酥) at first bite. 4 And I

can still remember how exquisite the craftsmanship (技艺) of making Indian pancakes was.

However, what impressed me most was in fact the “intangible cultural heritage on the tip of the

tongue”.

It was everyone’s combined effort that made the activity such a big success, and it is people’s love

for food that made the festival special. Enjoy food, value food, have a heart of gratitude and never

forget the ones who have brought you up. 5

A．From this, I have learned how to cook well.

B．More and more people began to buy milk tea

C．This is what I’ve learned from the food festival.

D．As a dessert lover, I couldn’t wait to enjoy tasty foods.

E．Within a few minutes, the place was crowded with people.

F．It was the first time that I had attended the food festival at school.

G．What’s more, I still can’t forget the amazing look of smoky ice cream.

6. Last year, hundreds of people spent good money on an experience that they knew would include

were already planning to ______ For these people, climbing Qomolangma is an experience like no

Arnette, who climbed Qomolangma in that year and was going to climb other high mountains

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

One day in December, Alvin, 66, was deep in the woods in Louisiana, when something caught his

eye. As Alvin approached, he saw that the object was a broken balloon. Attached was a piece of

paper decorated with sparkly star stickers. It was a child’s Christmas wish list.

“Dear Santa,” the handwritten note read. “My name is Luna. I am four years old. I live in Liberal,

Kansas. This year I have been nice. I would like candy, Spider-Man ball, Frozen doll, puppy. With

love, Luna.”

Alvin’s heart hammered in his chest. Ever since he was a child, he had dreamed of this very scene.

“I’ve always wanted to find one.” He believed this was his childhood wish coming true. And he

knew he was going to make Luna’s wish come true too.

Liberal, Kansas, is more than 650 miles from his hometown. But Alvin’s wife, Ann, was not

discouraged by the distance. She posted a photo of the balloon and the Christmas list on his

Facebook page, asking for help locating the sender. Just in a few hours, the number of people

sharing her post creep into the hundreds, “My hope grew into expectations,” Alvin says. “I knew we

were going to find Luna.”

Meanwhile, Gonzalez, the mother of four-year-old Luna, had no idea that such an effort was

underway.

It had been a hard year for Luna and her family. As COVID-19 spread, they felt lonely, scared, and

separated. Before December, Gonzalez had come up with the idea of having the girl send letters to

Santa by balloon. She told her that Santa would grab the balloons while he flew through the air on

his sled (雪橇).

She took Luna outside to release their wishes to the universe.“Bye. balloons!” Luna called, waving

as the balloons floated away, sailing above the trees and into the sky.

The family was enjoying a modest Christmas together when they heard a knock at the door. Luna

and her mother ran to the door together.
