Ecuador Ecuador is similar to the United States in many ways,and as a result has become a popular American getaway.They even use the US Dollar for their currency.In this country, it's cheaper to eat out every day than cook for yourself on a budget in the US.You can even buy a building for around $50,000 and hire someone to look after it while you're away. Mexico Although the country is known for its poverty ridden streets,there are many wealthier areas that provide every facility you might need.You can live off a mere $700 to $800 a month in Mexico,and this includes rent for a nice place,facilities,food,and any sightseeing. Argentina Argentina has been a popular tourist destination for many years.It has great restaurants, a rich history,and many places to explore.Not to mention,it's not very expensive to live here.A decent sized home can cost around 139,000,which is relatively cheap in relation to homes in the United States. Vietnam Vietnam has also become a popular tourist destination in recent years.There are many million-dollar luxury homes by the beach,but you can find a modest flat or a small home for around $25,000 to $50,000 if you search in the right areas. 21.In which country is the US Dollar used for its currency?

B Sweat ran its way down my cheeks.It was hot,and the air was still and wet.One final play and the State Softball Championship was ours.I looked towards people who were watching the game.Sure enough,I found my mom.I always hoped my dad were here.The farm needed his full attention,but I did not care. Finally,we won!State Champs!I let out a stream of happiness,full of tears.My mom made a "V"to celebrate my success and smiled.I smiled back at her.We all received medals, but I cannot remember any of it.I concentrated my thoughts on my dad.I ran to my mom, asking for her cellphone.I had to tell my dad about the happiest day of my life,and complained(抱怨)about why he did not care. 【高一年级期中考试·英语第3页（共8页）】 4357A The phone rang twice,and no one answered.My heart sank,but I tried again anyway. “Hello?”answered my dad..“Dad!”I cried.“We won State!”'There was silence..“Dad?”I could hear something on the other end."Are you crying?""I'm just really happy for you, Meggie,”he said..“AndI'm sorry I couldn't be there.” An apology was all I needed.I hung up the phone,feeling relaxed,and I began to understand how it must feel to be a father.I forgave him for never being there.He worked so I could play.My father loved me enough to let me experience life's happiest moments without him. 24.Why did Meggie's father fail to go to watch her game? A.Meggie did not want him to be there. B.Meggie's mother took his place to be there. C.The game wasn't so important to her father.

There is a close link between language and power.The USA,with its huge advantage in economic,technical and cultural terms,is the driving force behind English in the world today. However,if the USA were to lose its position of economic and technical advantage,then the “language loyalties'”of other countries may well shift to the new dominant(占优的)power.. Nowadays,perhaps the only possible candidate()for such a replacement would be China. A change in population (and population growth)trends may prove to be an influential factor.A report by the British Council suggests that the number of people learning English is likely to continue to increase over the next 10-15 years,peaking at around 2 billion,after which a decline (is predicted.Various tries have been made to develop a simpler "controlled"English language suitable for international usage(e.g.Basic English,Plain 【高一年级期中考试·英语第4页（共8页）】 4357A English,Special English,Essential World English,etc).Increasingly,the long-term future of English as a global language probably lies in the hands of Asia,and especially the huge populations of India and China. 28.What do the underlined words"such a change"in paragraph 1 refer to? A.English may lose its dominant position one day. B.English may not be used in education and culture. C.Latin may be set as the language of education and culture. D.French may be spoken as widely as English in the future. 29.What can be learned from paragraph 2? A.The USA has a great number of Chinese learners. B.Other countries will shift to learn French in the future. C.Population growth influences the number of language learners. D.The position of a language is affected by the power of its country. 30.Why have tries been made to develop a simpler "controlled"English? A.To prove English is changing. B.To show English is still popular. C.To attract more people to use English. D.To lower the cost of learning English. 31.Where is the text probably taken from? A.A novel. B.A magazine. C.A diary. D.A tourist handbook. D The World Happiness Report,a United Nations agency report,measures how happy people are,and why.Norway is the happiest place on Earth-beating neighbour Denmark from the number one position. Denmark,Iceland,Switzerland and Finland round out the top five,while the Central African Republic came last.Western Europe and North America took up most of the places at the top of table,with the US and UK at 14th and 19th. The World Happiness Report mainly depends on asking a simple question of more than l,0o0 people every year in more than 150 countries.“Imagine a ladder(梯子)，with steps numbered from 0 at the bottom to 10 at the top,"the question asks,"The top of the ladder is the best possible life for you and the bottom of the ladder is the worst possible life for you.On which step of the ladder would you say you personally feel you stand at this time?" The average result is the country's score-from Norway's 7.54 to the Central African Republic's 2.69.But the report also tries to explain why one country is happier than another. It looks at reasons including economic strength,social support,freedom of choice,and generosity. This year's report also has a text titled“restoring(恢复)American happiness”,which examines why happiness levels in the United States are falling,despite continually-increasing economic improvement."The United States can and should raise happiness by solving America's social problems-rising inequality and distrust-rather than focusing mainly on economic growth,"the authors said. 【高一年级期中考试·英语第5页（共8页）】 4357A 32.Which of the following is the correct order of the countries in terms of happiness levels? A.Denmark,the UK,the US,the Central African Republic. B.Denmark,the US,the UK,the Central African Republic. C.The US,Denmark,the UK,the Central African Republic. D.Denmark,the US,the Central African Republic,the UK. 33.How does the World Happiness Report measure happiness? A.By asking a question. B.By having a conversation. C.By doing scientific research. D.By carrying out an online survey. 34.What can we learn about America from the text? A.Its people live an unhappy life. B.Its economy is going downhill. C.Its social problems are hard to solve. D.It has a lower happiness level than before. 35.What's the author's purpose of writing the text? A.To explain the reason for being happy. B.To introduce the World Happiness Report.

Remember that other people fail too.37 They'll tell you about that great new contract()they signed,not the deal that failed eventually.But failure is normal,and lots of people fail many times before succeeding. Remind yourself of your past successes.Failing doesn't mean you'll never achieve what you want.38 Maybe you had high marks last term,or you lost weight,or you learned to play a musical instrument.You might want to write down a list of successes.If you ever lack confidence,you can go back and read over that list. 39 Your past successes are important,but so are your past failures.You've made mistakes before,and you've survived them.By acknowledging your failures,you can remind yourself that today is no different.Just as you recovered in the past,you can recover from your recent failure too. 40 Whatever goes wrong,you're probably facing some sort of decision.Don't rush into making a hasty decision,but do look for a forward path.That might require some deep thinking. A.Make a decision wisely. B.Limit the damage caused. C.Remind yourself of your past failures. D.However,failure is a normal part of life. E.Get some advice and support from others. F.Most people don't talk openly about their failures. G.Think of all the times in the past when you've succeeded. 【高一年级期中考试·英语第6页（共8页）】 4357A 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Thousands of people have tried to become donors (to save the life of a five-year-old boy,Oscar,with cancer.
