昆明2025-2026学年第一学期期末教学质量检测试题(卷)高一英语

1、   1. A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have.

Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.

One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. If we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.

 2. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted.

24、Liang Xianghua, a 22-year-old girl from Guangxi University, has been well-known in China for her sand painting since her first work was used by CCTV.

"Sand paintings really attracted me while I was watching a video performance, I was surprised by how this artwork melted people's heart in minutes, "said Liang. "I fell in love with the way the sand pictures, music and the light combined (融合) with each other to make a flow of emotion(情感). You can express things freely.”

In order to master the skills, Liang practised for several hours every day. She said that she couldn't even do the first step well of throwing sand onto the glass. But she didn't give up.

After finding success with her first show, she was invited to do many performances. This made her quite tired. She decided to give a stop and focus on her study. But an invitation from Malaysia changed her mind just as she was about to wash the sand from her hands. This spring, she was invited by a Malaysia middle school to give a performance. Liang didn' t want to do a live show, but agreed to do a video for the school showing its development over the years.

She received praise for her work and the performance was described as an eye-opener for the students. This made her wonder if her art would be more meaningful if she made it for the poor students.

As a volunteer this time, she plans to take part in a summer programme offering help to pupils in a mountain area, and give the most wonderful show in her life.

25、   Can I have a glass of hot water? "This is a very common question in a restaurant. For many Chinese people, nothing is more common than drinking hot water every day. However, the simple habit is like a mystery to people from other countries.

For many Westerners, the idea of drinking hot water is very strange. However, most Chinese people think the Americans' habit of drinking ice water is also strange and even unhealthy. Some old people carry a tea kettle (茶壶)when they travel. Chinese doctors are encouraging more people to take on the habit of drinking hot water, especially for women.

But in Western countries, drinking hot water isn't common. Westerners often have drinks with ice, not just on hot days but almost every day.

There is a story online about a British man, who has been in Beijing for over five years. He visited a local cafe when going back to England. He asked for a glass of hot water in a British accent(口音). But this request surprised the waitress, "To…to…to drink?" she doubted. Finally, the man received the hot water but felt cold stares from every comer of the café.

Westerners wonder why Chinese people drink hot water as Chinese are wondering why Westerners drink cold water. This cultural difference is not a simple problem, but related to(与…有关联) history, culture and science.

As a matter of fact, many teenagers now depend on bottled water for daily drinking. With the younger Generation growing up, will drinking hot water become a less popular life habit? Who knows?

【1】What do most Chinese think of drinking icy water from the passage?

A.normal and healthy. B.strange but healthy

D.Other people in the restaurant were interested in the man's request.

【4】What can be inferred (推断) from the passage?

26、   The Chinese high-speed rails may stand out（突出）because of its scale（规模）. There are more than twice as many high-speed trains in China as the rest of the world. Cities like Beijing have several hundred high-speed trains stopping at the city every day, much more than any other big cities abroad. And every year when the Chinese Spring Festival comes, about 3 billion（十亿） trips take place within 2 weeks. It would be the same as every American taking 10 trips during Christmas, or every European taking 5 trips during Christmas. All the train tickets are gone within 10 seconds once they can be bought online.

The high-speed trains are really great. Firstly, China 5s technology on building the railway is leading the rest of the world and there is no sign that any other country could go beyond China in near future. Secondly, China's trains are based on Japanese, German and French models. At last, the scale of Chinese high-speed train is unthinkable to other countries, which has high-speed train network（网络）.

I had my first chance to ride the high-speed trains last week when I had a business meeting in Zhengzhou. The train was amazing. It is clean and the seats are huge. You can't even feel how fast the train is moving. If there were no windows, I wouldn't be able to tell when we were stopped or when we were traveling at 300 km/h. I had traveled on an Amtrak train before in the US, and hated how slow it was and how many stops there were. Chinese high-speed trains are of great difference.

I'm traveling again this week by train and I'm excited.

【1】What's the main idea of this passage?

A.Chinese high-speed trains are amazing.

B.Different kinds of trains in the world.

C.My first chance to ride the high-speed trains.

D.How fast the Chinese high-speed trains are!

A.American people. B.Train tickets. C.European people. D.Train trips.

【4】What does the writer think about the Chinese high-speed train?

A.He worries about it. B.It needs to be improved.

C.An Amtrak train is better. D.He thinks highly of it.

27、Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon(依靠) ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.

The first secret(秘密) of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future —for example, getting into college or getting a good job—that we fail to enjoy the present(现在). You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.

Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this, dancing or having sports, such as swimming and playing basketball. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.

Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help do some housework.

A．one

B．two

28、Travelling to all corners of the world gets easier and easier, but how well do we know and u【1】 each other? Here is a simple test. Imagine (设想) you will hold a m【2】 at four o’clock, what time should you expect your foreign business friends to come? If they are Germans, they will a【3】 on time. If they are Americans, they will probably be fifteen minutes early. If they are British, they’ll be fifteen minutes l【4】.
