山东菏泽市高一下期中A卷英语试卷

Stores, farmer markets, gas stations and restaurants have been interested in the organic(有机的) food. However, it can be difficult to tell natural foods from organic foods. Most people don’t know that there is a major difference between the two foods. No one seems to be able to determine which is which, creating a lot of confusion for people who are truly concerned with buying the best and healthiest products.
In 2000, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) published its official position on organic foods and made its production controlled by a strict law. While there are several standards for organic foods, foods must be grown without the use of antibiotics(抗生素)，growth hormones(激素)，chemical things and so on. The leaves of plants are one of the best choices.
On the other hand, natural foods have no legal rules, and are not controlled by any law. The USDA does require that seller should list the parts of natural foods, but there are no official rules for the amount of natural parts a food must contain. A natural food is usually considered to contain less chemical things, though there is no way to keep an eye on the product.
The USDA has guidelines for organic production. When considering buying organic foods, you must take into consideration that the organic meat, eggs and milk products must come from animals that are given no antibiotics or growth hormones.
Due to higher labor costs, organic products cost 40% to 120% more compared with their natural foods. The most important thing to remember is to eat a variety of healthy foods, organic or natural foods. Eating more fruits, vegetables, low-fat and whole grains will be good for our health.
What can be used in growing organic foods?

What is the attitude of the author towards the quality of natural foods?

The passage is developed ______.

What may be the main idea of the text?

Recently, I came across an interesting article on the differences between British English and American English. I had a lot of fun reading it and thinking of as many differences as I could as an American.
Their cars have “bonnets(发动机罩)”，while ours have “hoods”. They park their cars in a “car park” while we leave our in a “parking lot”. Our “cookies” are their “biscuits”, while their “rubbers” are our “erasers”.
Then there are the food words. Would you want to eat something called “Toad in the Hole” or “Bangers and Mash” or “Spotted Dick”? I’m here to report they are all very tasty. There are American equivalents(相等物)， of course. We’ve got “Shoofly Mud Pie”. What they call “crisps” is what we call “potato chips” and when we ask for “chips” in England we will get what we know at home in America as “French fries”.
They find it hysterical that we call the “toilet” the “bathroom” and they really double over (弯腰) with laughter when we ask for the “restroom”. American ladies in England who ask for the “little girl’s room” or the “power room” will be met with blank stares. A “fag” is a “cigarette” in the UK, which can lead to endless confusion for British visitors looking for a cigarette in America. Americans on the other hand are endlessly confused by English signs put up over doorways saying “Way Out”. We Americans walk on the sidewalk not the pavement. “Pavement” in America is the actual cement(水泥)the sidewalk is made of.
What do British people call French fries?

Tykoon is an online website that allows you to teach your child financial principles through allowances assignment(零钱分配) of tasks and daily chores.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A good book can be satisfying. If reading is a habit you’d like to get into, there are some ways to develop it.
Realize that reading is enjoyable if you have a good book. If you have a difficult book and you are forcing yourself through it, it will seem like a task. 
Set time. You should have some time during every day when you’ll read for at least 5 to 10 minutes.        For example, make it a habit to read during breakfast and lunch and even dinner if you eat alone.
Always carry a book.         When I leave the house, I always make sure to have my car keys and one book at hand. The book stays with me in the car, and I take it into the office and to appointments and pretty much everywhere I go.
    Find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair. Don’t lie down unless you’re going to sleep. There shouldn’t be a television or a computer near the chair, and no music or no noisy family members/ roommates. If you don’t have a place like this, create one.
Reduce television/ the Internet. If you really want to read more, try cutting back on time on TV or the Internet.        But remember： every minute you reduce of the Internet/ TV, you could use for reading. This could create hours of book reading time.

E. This may be difficult for some people.
F. If this happens, give up the book and find another one that you’ll really love.
G. It means you will read no matter how busy you are.

It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves         in the cool        . In such a season, I liked walking alone in the leaves, listening to the sound of them. Autumn is a         season and life is uninteresting. The free days always make me          . But one day, the sound of a violin          into my ears like a stream flowing in the mountains. I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was         in playing her violin. I had       seen her before. The music was so attractive that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn’t realize that I had been             there for so long but my              did not seem to disturb her. Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building.          I went downstairs to watch her performance, I was the only audience. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became         .         we didn’t know each other, I thought we were already good friends. I believed she also liked me. Autumn was nearly over.

This tradition was started by mom several years ago. My mom, my brother, my sister and I all went to the cancer treatment center with some flowers. Each patient, doctor ,and nurse received flower from us. “why do you send us flowers?” they would asked and our answer was that” it’s just because you’re special.”       this went on, we often sent even more of flowers. One day , I accidently found a boy was making     (beauty) cards in the street, with the words “just Because You’re Special” on them. Out of curiosity, I     (chat) with the boy and this remind me to make some cards to send together       some flowers .
Today, after our mom passed away from cancer,    still take flowers to the patients ,doctors and nurses with our own “Just Because You ‘re Special “card      (tie) to them.
Even though the cancer treatment has moved to different location, we still pass this on.  One patient told us      (excited) that it was the first rose that he      (receive）over ten years and the rose made his life       (energy)during his stay in hospital . We plan to continue to do this and I will encourage more people to do this. Giving a flower to others might make their day special.

Dear Jenny,
Now I’d like to tell you something about my pare-time job this summer vacation, in that I worked as a guide in a travel agency.
The work was interesting but tired. I think it was helpful to work this holiday. It was the first time that I have earned money on my own. I’ve come to understand how hard my parents work to support for the family. I used to keep on ask them for money, but now I’ve never waste money and learn to share worries with my parent. I’ve learnt how to get along well with others. What’s worse, I’ve gained some working and social experience and I have learnt something can’t learnt from textbooks. All these will be good for my future. In a word, I had the wonderful or valuable summer vacation.
