重庆市铜梁县第一中学2017-2018学年高一英语上学期寒假作业（二）第一部分：阅读理解第一节 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。AWhen Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish.Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich in coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the countrys second most important export.Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors. Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.1. Whats the main idea of the first paragraph?A. How Columbus found Costa Rica.B. How Costa Rica got its name.C. What the Costa Ricans wore. D. What language the Costa Ricans spoke.2. The Costa Ricans may NOT paint their houses _.A. pink and red B. grey and blackC. blue and green D. yellow and orange3. From December to February, school children in Costa Rica _.A. have lessons every dayB. have their examinationsC. help their parents pick coffee beansD. help their parents decorate their houses BEveryone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We dont always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.No two people are the same. Sometimes friends dont get along well, which doesnt mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.Theres more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people if those dont have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares, if someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.4. The first paragraph tells us _. A. none needs friends B. we always need friends around us C. making friends is the need in peoples life D. we need to be alone5. Which of the following is the most probable place people name after friendly people? A. A house. B. A room. C. A library. D. A village.6. If people have friends, they would live longer, because _.

A. that people are all friends B. that people need friends C. how to get to know friends D. how to name a placeCI think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load (工作量) and size of the school. I went from maybe fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours，so I had to learn how to make full use of time! Our class size is around 550，but joining in sports，music，and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every grade.The best advice I can give about the years you spend in high school is to learn things for yourself，not just to get a good grade. There have been so many tests that Ive prepared for the night before，gotten an A，and not remembered anything later. Ive changed that this year，and I enjoy school so much more. Dont take easy classes just to have a simple year. If you have a choice between chemistry and sports，the first will prove to be a lot more useful!While drinking and smoking might be present in some middle schools，theyre also around in high school. I have a lot of friends who promised theyd never drink or smoke，but are now partying every weekend. If you have “fun” and spend your nights wasted instead of studying，you will regret it when youre applying for (申请) college. The “friends” who say youre a loser for not partying are really not your friends at all. Its hard to see your closest friends grow apart and go in different directions，but dont follow their footsteps. Create your own path in life and make your own decisions.8What does the author think of high school?AIt requires hard work.BThere are very few activities.CIts hard to meet new people there.DThere is enough time for homework.9The author advises high school students to_Agive up sportsBchoose useful classesCtry their best to get good gradesDget ready for tests the night before10The text is probably written by_Aa high school studentBa chemistry teacherCa college student Da sports player11The last paragraph mainly tells us_Aabout the trouble caused by drinking and smokingBabout the importance of making friendsCnot to go to any party in high schoolDnot to lose ourselves in high schoolD Mr. Brown worked in a factory of a small town. He had been there for twenty years before one day he was sent to the capital for important business. He was quite excited because he had never been there before. Before he set off, he asked his wife and three daughters if they wanted him to buy something for them in Lon-don.

His face turned red at once and said in a hurry,“Oh, Im very sorry, Madam! I didnt mean it!”Seven days later Mr. Brown left the capital. To his surprise, he met the old woman and sat opposite to her again. Looking at the four umbrellas, the old woman was satisfied with herself. “It seems that I had a better result than the other four women.” She thought.12.
