英语试题

（考试范围：综合适用班级：高三学年）

一、阅读理解（共两节，满分 40 分）

第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）

Since the beginning of history, people have played games. Children in one country may play

games that are quite different from those played anywhere else in the world. Here are some

interesting games that you and your friends can try.

The Mouse Game (The Philippines)

In this game, a piece of string is attached to the player's hand. One part of the string

represents the "cat" while the other part is the "mouse". The objective of the game is for the cat to

catch the mouse and for the mouse to escape just in time. It teaches you to focus and move your

fingers fast.

Piñata (Mexico)

A piñata is a colorful container made from papers and filled with sweets and toys. Children

are blindfolded and take turns at trying to hit the piñata, which is usually suspended(悬挂）on a

tree or pole. When someone breaks open the piñata, the children run to get the treats. This game

improves your sense of direction.

Help (China)

Chasing games are popular all around the world. In China, one player is chosen to be the

chaser and runs after the other players until someone is caught. No equipment is required to play

this game, but it helps to run fast and have a loud voice for shouting.

Doorkeeper (Afghanistan)

In the villages of Afghanistan, there is no limit to the number of players who can take part in

the game. A small rubber ball is all you need to play the game. It helps to have quick reactions and

focus your eyes on the ball because you need to prevent the ball getting into the net.

Do dogs understand us?

Be careful what you say around your dog．It might understand more than you think．

A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in

Germany．The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child．Its

word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee．

In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided

them into 20 groups of 10 objects．Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items

and bring it back．In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right．As the dog couldn't see

anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words．

In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a

room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew．The owner then told Rico to fetch the

object, using a word the dog had never heard before．The correct object was chosen in seven out

of ten tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination（排除

法）．A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more

impressive．Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog．For one thing, Rico is a border

collie, a breed （品种）known for its mental abilities．In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been

trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months．

It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say．Even if they do,

they can't talk back．Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then．You might

just get a big, wet kiss in return!

B．The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities．

C．The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects．

D．Rico is born to understand its owner's commands．

7．What does the writer want to tell us?

A．To train your dog．B．To talk to your dog．

C．To be careful with your dog．D．To be friendly to your dog．

I must have looked deep in thought, or as deep in thought as an 11-year-old man could,

when my grandmother glanced up from her weeding to ask, "You have something on your mind,

don’t you?”

“Yes, I was thinking that someday I want to be an Olympic speed skating champion like my

hero, Eric Heiden, I want to be a doctor like my parents and I want to help children in Africa.”

I immediately knew I had confided (吐露) in the right person when a knowing smile broke

across her face. “Johann, of course! You can do anything you want to do!” she said simply. And

with my grandmother’s support, I set out to pursue my passions.

14 years later, I was well ready to take hold of my first dream: becoming an Olympic

champion. The Olympics in 1994 was in my home country, Norway. As I entered the Olympic

stadium, I wasn’t the best athlete, and many had doubts about my ability to perform well. But I

had something special working for me. I had a woman in the first row who believed in me

following my passions just as much as I did. For the first time ever, my grandmother was going to

see me skate.

It happened. Breaking a world record, I won the gold.

As I stood on the podium (领奖台) that I had dreamed about my entire life, a curious

question popped into my head. Why me? Why did I win, given all the other incredible competitors

out there? The reason had to be more than a grandmother who shared a belief in her grandson’s

dream. The question led me to only one answer: because I wanted to make a difference in the

world, and with all the media attention on my success, I could. I immediately knew what that

difference had to be: hope in the lives of the children in Africa.

Six months earlier, I’d been invited to Eritrea as an ambassador(使者) for Olympic Aid.

A．His successes at other Olympic games. B．His efforts in helping the African children.

C．His grandmother’s attitude towards him. D．His hard training in preparing for the next

Olympics.

11．What is the whole passage mainly about?

A．Many dreams of a young boy. B．A sportsman who pursued his passions.

C．The encouragement from a grandmother. D．An Olympic hero who made a difference in

the world.

How often do you exercise? A new study finds that most kids aged 12 to 15 aren't getting

enough physical activity. The results are based on about 800 kids. As part of the study, the young

teens tracked and reported on their own activity levels, and took physical exams.

The US fitness guidelines recommend an hour or more of physical activity every day.

According to the study, only 1in 4 kids in the US get enough physical activity.

“It's certainly very worrying to see that our kids are engaging in such a limited amount of

physical activity each day,” said Dr. Stephen Pont. He is an expert on children's health.

Few kids in the survey met the guidelines for physical activity that raises the heart rate and

makes them breathe harder. Overall, about 25% said they got an hour of that kind of violent

exercise every day. Kids also reported on which activities they did most often outside of the

school gym class--basketball for boys and running for girls.

The study found that obese（肥胖的） teens were less active than normal-weight girls and

boys. Overweight girls were slightly less active than normal-weight girls, but levels were similar

among overweight and normal-weight boys. The study also said that the overall obesity rate for
