People call these strange objects Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO). These UFOs caused a lot of interest. Some of the reports about them are difficult to believe. Some have been explained in scientific ways. Others have never been explained. Here is an account of UFOs from a report. Dennis Burdens, who wrote an article, tells us that he once saw a UFO himself. He was having dinner one night with a friend near Tripoli, Libya, and after dinner the two men walked across a yard to his room to look at some papers. Burdens noticed that the moon looked strange that night. “It wasn’t the moon,” was the reply. They watched the light and saw that it was moving. It seemed to be an object rather like a big plate. In some ways it looked like smoke with a light on it, but it wasn’t smoke because it didn’t change its shape. It was moving in a regular way. That is to say, it didn’t go suddenly faster or more slowly, and it didn’t go higher or lower. So the two men decided that there must be men in it. After that Burdens said that he felt eyes looking at him. He was being watched in the darkness. When it was nearer, they noticed that the bottom parts were brighter than the top. The bottom was yellow and the top red. Then the object suddenly turned away and left Libya, moving very fast. On a later day Burdens talked to other people about it, and he found some who had seen it. They all described it in the same way. Could they all be mistaken? 9. UFOs are ______. A. flying high up in the sky B. strange flying objects C. difficult to believe D. very interesting 10. A UFO was seen one night ______. A. when they were walking across a yard to Burdens’ room B. while they were looking at the light C. when Burdens noticed the moon appearing strange D. while they were having dinner 11. The UFO looked like ______. A. smoke B. a large plate C. light D. a jumping object 12. The UFO was seen ______. A. only by Burdens and his friend B. brighter in the darkness C. by several people D. to have a red bottom and a yellow top in the same way 第二节 小标题填空（共3小题，每小题3分，满分9分） 下面文章中有3处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C和D)中选出符合各段意思的小标题，并在答题卡上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。 Teaching Students with Special Needs to Solve Word Problems Many special-needs students have difficulty in learning words. Special-needs students often learn in different ways than students in classrooms. Some special ways might help them so they are able to understand how to solve it. ____13____ Many special-needs students, such as those with learning difficulties, might benefit from computer games. Computer games solving word problems can be more interesting to students who do not learn well in traditional ways. Let your special-needs students partner up to play computer games, and you might see even more progress. Draw Pictures Special-needs students who have difficulty hearing or listening for long periods might gain word-problem-solving skills by drawing pictures to show the problem. Ask your special-needs students to draw a picture of the problem. For example, a problem might ask students to determine how many dogs there are if two were in the park first, then three more joined them. Your students can draw two dogs first, three dogs second and then count them to find the answer. Read the problem clearly to your students and give them time to draw. ____14____ Encourage your special-needs students to read the word problems out loud and discuss what they are about. Many special-needs students gain word-problem-solving skills when they are able to speak out the problem and think of possible answers. Ask your special-needs students questions to help them consider different ways of working through a problem. ____15____ When special-needs students improve their reading skills, they might also improve their word-problem-solving skills. When the students are given homework to understand the difficult problems, they will be able to solve them. When your students understand what the math problem is to solve, they will give a right answer. A. Play Computer Games B. Eat something delicious C. Talk It Out D. Practice Reading 第二部分 知识运用（共两节，满分25分） 第一节 完形填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从短文后各题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 It was a Sunday afternoon.

You should also start small and slowly work your way to a longer and harder exercise routine to avoid getting hurt. ____40____最后，在锻炼之前记得要热身 and stretch at the end of your workout. 第二节 情景作文（共1小题，满分20分） 41. 假设你是Richard，请根据你和某杂志的专栏作者Ellen的网上聊天记录，给那些和你有同样的困惑和问题的青少年写一封建议信。 注意： 1.词数100词左右： 2.文章中不能使用真实的人名和地名。 Richard: Hello, Ellen! I am a 15-year-old teenager, and I can’t get along with my parents. Ellen: You are not alone. Many teenagers have difficulty getting along with their parents. This is a common problem that is a result of growing pains. Richard: Whenever I refuse to listen to them, they shout at me angrily. Ellen: To find out why they do so, why not have a deep talk with your parents? And you should be prepared to hear their side of the story. Richard: Great! I will do so. Besides, they always tell me to spend more time studying every time I watch a DVD or play computer games. Ellen: Maybe they have their own reasons. But anyway you should devote yourself to study, since this will influence the rest of your life. Richard: Fine. I will do my best. Ellen: And one more thing. This problem cannot be solved once and for all. Thus, be patient and have a heart-to-heart talk with your parents more often. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 海谊中学高一年级期中考试英语科目 第一部分 阅读技能（共两节，满分45分） 第一节 阅读理解（共12小题，每小题3分，满分36分） A 【1~4题答案】 【答案】1.
