However, if you’re willing to leave your country and explore life in other areas, there are many countries boasting an extremely cheap and low cost of living. Check out the following countries when planning your next move. 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. 1. In which country is the US Dollar used for its currency? A. Argentina. B. Mexico. C. Ecuador. D. Vietnam. 2. How much does it cost to live in Mexico for a year? A. About $ 7,000. B. About $ 8,000. C. About $ 8,800. D. About $ 12,000. 3. What do Argentina and Vietnam have in common? A. They have great restaurants. B. The cost of living is expensive. C. The middle-sized homes cost around $ 139,000. D. Tourists enjoy travelling in the two countries. 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. 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. “And I’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. 4. Why did Meggie’s father fail to go to watch her game? A. He had a full schedule to work on the farm. B. Meggie’s mother took his place to be there. C. The game wasn’t so important to her father. D. Meggie did not want him to be there. 5. What is the purpose of Meggie calling her father? A. To express her thanks. B. To show off her medals. C. To share her joy of success. D. To get her father’s praise. 6. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Meggie would thank her father for all he did for her. B. Meggie could spend more time doing the farm work. C. Meggie would apologize for being rude to her father. D. Meggie could enjoy every moment without her father. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. My Final Game B. My Growing Pain C. A Father’s Love D. A Father’s Farm C As can be seen on almost any basis, English is the nearest thing that has ever been to a global language. Its worldwide reach is much greater than anything achieved historically by Latin or French, and there has never been a language as widely spoken as English. Although English now appears to be in a powerful position in the modern world, its future as a global language is not necessarily assured. In the Middle Ages, Latin seemed forever to be set as the language of education and culture, as did French in the 18th century. But conditions change, and there are several factors which might make a difference to such a change once again. 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(占优势的)power. Nowadays, perhaps the only possible candidate(候选人)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(下降)is predicted. Various tries have been made to develop a simpler “controlled” English language suitable for international usage(e.g. Basic English, Plain 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. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. 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. 11. 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 (估量) 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 1,000 people every year in more than150 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 (经济实力) 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. Jeffrey Sachs, the director of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, which published the report, said President Donald Trump’s policies were likely to make things worse. 12. 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 13. 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. 14. What can we know about America form the passage? 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. 15. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To explain the reason for being happy. B. To introduce the World Happiness Report. C. To talk about America’s social problem. D. To discuss the policies by Donald Trump. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 No one likes to fail.

They always played together and went home together. One day Robert and Henry were going home from school. On turning a cornner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!” “No” said Henry. “Let us go home quietly and not meddle with (管闲事) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into trouble. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together and I don’t want them to worry about me.” “You are a coward (懦夫), and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual. But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down on Henry and didn’t want to play with him together. Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behaviour, because he knew that they misunderstood him, and that they ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home together with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun. A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled and cried for help, but he failed. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did nothing to help him. Paragraph 1 It seemed as if Robert would be dying. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 Thus, Robert’s life was saved. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 会泽县茚旺高中2024年春季学期高一年级期中考试 英语试卷 考生注意： 1.满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 3.本卷命题范围：至必修第三册 Unit 3 Reading and Thinking。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Dollar for their currency.(他们甚至使用美元作为他们的货币)”可知，美元是厄瓜多尔的货币。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mexico部分中的“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.(在墨西哥，你每月只需700到800美元，这包括一个好地方的租金、设施、食物和任何观光活动)”可知，在墨西哥居住一年需要约700*12=8400美元到800*12=9600美元之间。分析选项可知，只有C选项约8800美元符合价格区间。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Argentina部分中的“Argentina has been a popular tourist destination for many years.(多年来，阿根廷一直是一个受欢迎的旅游目的地)”以及Vietnam部分中的“Vietnam has also become a popular tourist destination in recent years.(越南也成为近年来一个热门的旅游目的地)”可知，阿根廷和越南的共同之处是游客喜欢在这两个国家旅行。故选D。 B Sweat ran its way down my cheeks.

Its worldwide reach is much greater than anything achieved historically by Latin or French, and there has never been a language as widely spoken as English. Although English now appears to be in a powerful position in the modern world, its future as a global language is not necessarily assured. In the Middle Ages, Latin seemed forever to be set as the language of education and culture, as did French in the 18th century. But conditions change, and there are several factors which might make a difference to such a change once again. 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(占优势的)power. Nowadays, perhaps the only possible candidate(候选人)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(下降)is predicted. Various tries have been made to develop a simpler “controlled” English language suitable for international usage(e.g. Basic English, Plain 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. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. 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. 11. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A novel. B. A magazine. C. A diary. D. A tourist handbook. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了英语作为全球语言在未来可能面临的挑战与危机。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段中“Although English now appears to be in a powerful position in the modern world, its future as a global language is not necessarily assured. In the Middle Ages, Latin seemed forever to be set as the language of education and culture, as did French in the 18th century.( 虽然英语现在在现代世界中似乎处于强大的地位，但它作为一种全球语言的未来并不一定是确定的。在中世纪，拉丁语似乎永远被设定为教育和文化语言，就像18世纪的法语一样。)”由此可推知，第1段中划线的“such a change(这种改变)”是指英语可能有一天会失去它的主导地位。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“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(占优势的)power.( 语言和权力之间有着密切的联系。美国凭借其在经济、技术和文化方面的巨大优势，是当今世界英语背后的推动力量。然而，如果美国失去了其经济和技术优势的地位，那么其他国家的“语言忠诚”很可能会转向新的主导力量。)”可推知，一种语言的地位受其国家实力的影响。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“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(下降)is predicted. Various tries have been made to develop a simpler “controlled” English language suitable for international usage(e.g. Basic English, Plain English, Special English, Essential World English, etc).( 英国文化协会的一份报告显示，在未来10-15年里，学习英语的人数可能会继续增加，达到20亿左右的峰值，之后预计会下降。人们做了各种各样的尝试，以发展一种更简单的、适合国际使用的“受控”英语。基础英语、简单英语、特别英语、世界英语等)。)”可推知，努力发展一种更简单的“受控”英语是为了吸引更多的人使用英语。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“But conditions change, and there are several factors which might make a difference to such a change once again.(但情况在变化，有几个因素可能会再次导致这种变化。)”并通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了英语作为全球语言在未来可能面临的挑战与危机，由此可推知，这篇文章最有可能选自杂志。故选B项。 D The World Happiness Report, a United Nations agency report, measures (估量) 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 1,000 people every year in more than150 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 (经济实力) 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. Jeffrey Sachs, the director of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, which published the report, said President Donald Trump’s policies were likely to make things worse. 12. 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 13. 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. 14. What can we know about America form the passage? 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. 15. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To explain the reason for being happy. B. To introduce the World Happiness Report. C. To talk about America’s social problem. D. To discuss the policies by Donald Trump. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述的是世界幸福报告及各国排名，并指出影响幸福排名的因素，包括经济实力，社会支持，选择自由和慷慨。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“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.”可知，Denmark，the US，the UK和Central African Republic的幸福排名从高到低，故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The World Happiness Report mainly depends on asking a simple question of more an1,000 people every year in more than150 countries.”(《世界幸福报告》的主要依据是每年向150多个国家的1000多人询问一个简单的问题。)可知，世界幸福报告就是通过问问题来衡量幸福的，故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段中“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.”（今年的报告还有一个文本标题为“恢复美国幸福”，检查为什么在美国幸福水平正在下降，尽管经济与日增长。）可以推断出，美国幸福水平没有以前好，所以要求恢复美国幸福水平，故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。本文主题就是介绍世界幸福报告及各国排名，并指出影响幸福排名的因素，所以作者的目的就是介绍世界幸福报告。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 No one likes to fail.

Failing doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve what you want.(提醒自己过去的成功。失败并不意味着你永远不会实现你想要的东西)”说明本段建议读者要关注自己过去的成功。空处顺接前文，同时引出下文中“过去成功”的例子。G项“回想一下过去你成功的所有时刻。”符合语境，该项中的“when you’ve succeeded”和上文中“Remind yourself of your past successes”相呼应。故选G。 【19题详解】 下文“Your past successes are important, but so are your past failures.

They always played together and went home together. One day, Robert and Henry were going home from school. On turning a cornner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!” “No” said Henry. “Let us go home quietly and not meddle with (管闲事) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into trouble. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together and I don’t want them to worry about me.” “You are a coward (懦夫), and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual. But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down on Henry and didn’t want to play with him together. Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behaviour, because he knew that they misunderstood him, and that they ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home together with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun. A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled and cried for help, but he failed. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did nothing to help him. Paragraph 1 It seemed as if Robert would be dying. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 Thus, Robert’s life was saved. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Part 1: It seemed as if Robert would be dying. Just at that moment, Henry happened to be passing by. Hearing the screams, Henry ran to the riverside, threw off his clothes and jumped into the water without hesitation. He reached Robert just as he was sinking the last time. By great effort, and with much danger to himself, he brought Robert to the shore. Part 2: Thus, Robert’s life was saved. Robert and his new friends were ashamed of having called Henry a coward. They realized that Henry had true courage. They said sorry to Henry for their rude behaviour and asked for forgiveness. Henry forgave them happily. He and Robert were friends again and they went home together as usual. From this, Robert learned what true courage was — never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物态度变化为线索，讲述了Robert和Henry是两个同班的朋友。他们总是一起玩，一起回家。一次他们回家路上看到有人打架，Robert想去看看，但Henry拒绝了，Robert就认定Henry是懦夫告诉所有的男孩他是个懦夫。Henry并不生气，Robert和其他人一起，不和Henry玩，有一次Robert落水，其他男孩都走了不去救他，恰巧Henry路过，救了他，Robert才明白自己误会了他，才知道什么样的才叫勇敢。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Robert似乎快死了。”可知，故事接下来Henry将出现去救他，这样可以解除别人对自己的误会。 ②由第二段首句内容“这样，Robert的命就得救了。”可知，误会解开，让Robert明白什么才叫勇敢。 2.续写线索：Robert落水—Henry救他—Robert活过来—误会解开—感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①碰巧：by chance/happen to ②道歉：say sorry to sb./apologize to sb./make an apology to sb. 情绪类 ①感到羞愧：be/feel ashamed of ②害怕：be afraid/scared of 【点睛】[高分句型1]It seemed as if Robert would be dying.(运用了名词性从句和虚拟语气) [高分句型2]Hearing the screams, Henry ran to the riverside, threw off his clothes and jumped into the water without hesitation.(运用现在分词作状语的结构) [高分句型3]From this, Robert learned what true courage was — never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil.(运用了what引导宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
