2015-2016学年河北石家庄一中高一下期末考试英语卷

一、阅读理解

As a boy, Sanders was much influenced by books about the sea, but by the age of fifteen he had decided to become a doctor rather than a sailor.His father was a doctor.So he was often with the doctors and got along very well with them.When he was fourteen, he was already hanging around the hospital where he was supposed to be helping to clean the medicine bottles, but was actually trying to listen to the doctors’ conversations with patients in the next room.

During the war Sanders served in the army as a surgeon(外科医生).“That was the happiest time of my life.I was dealing with real sufferers and on the whole making a success of my job.” In Rhodes he taught the country people simple facts about medicine.He saw himself as a life-saver.He had proved his skill to himself and had a firm belief that he could serve those who lived simply, and were dependent upon him.Thus, while in a position to tell them what to do he could feel he was serving them.

After the war, he married and set up a practice deep in the countryside, working under an old doctor who hated the sight of blood.This gave the younger man plenty of opportunities to go on working as a life-saver.

The London Underground (The Tube）

The main source of public transport in London revolves around the Underground (or the Tube as it is known to Londoners).This network of 12 lines can get you to most places in the center of the city quickly.

It’s most necessary to get an Oyster Card or a Travelcard.Single tickets are priced starting at the intentionally absurd (荒谬的) price of ￡ 4.80 (Zone 1-3), if you pay cash.Using an Oyster card, a single fare is ￡ 2.30 if you are traveling within the central Zone 1.

On hot days it is also advisable to take a bottle of water with you as Underground trains are not air-conditioned.

Last trains leave central London at around 00:30 weekdays, 23:30 Sundays.First trains leave the suburbs at around 5:00.

The Bus System

Outside the center of London, Tube stations are farther apart, so buses help fill the gaps.Also, the bus offers a cheaper alternative, even if it is a slower journey.

Cash fares for London buses have been abolished — you cannot pay cash.A bus fare costs ￡ 1.50 if using only buses, the fare is capped at ￡ 4.40 per day for Oyster or contactless users.

River Services

There are a number of different routes along the River Thames.The faster commuter services operate all day from Greenwich Pier to Embankment and from Putney and Chelsea harbour to Blackfriars during Peak Hours only.These routes will pass a number of places of interest including the Houses of Parliament and London Bridge.A return fare from Putney to Blackfriars will cost about 12 pounds.

National Rail

Once you leave Central London or if you are traveling South of the River Thames, the best public transport option will often be National Rail.There are numerous connections to the Rail System from the Tube.Travelcards can be used for travel on the National Rail (but not the Heathrow Express).Oyster cards can be used up to Zone 6 except certain services including Heathrow Express, Heathrow Connect and HSI.

1.When taking the London Underground, ________.

A.you should buy tickets with cash

B.you can save more money with a single ticket

C.you can go to any place in London quickly

D.you are advised to take a bottle of water along on hot days

2.If you use river services along the River Thames, you will pass ________.

A.London Bridge B.Stratford

C. Canary Wharf D.Tower Hill

3.To travel South of the River Thames, it is recommended that you use ________.

A.The London Underground B.The Bus System

C.The DLR and the Tram D.National Rail

A man steps on what seems like solid ground but discovers with horror that the ground is giving way beneath his feet.The man struggles desperately, but he is trapped.He cannot escape.Slowly he sinks deeper and deeper until at last he is gone, buried in the treacherous earth.The solid ground was solid only in appearance.It was actually quicksand, which is a deep mass of fine sand mixed with water.

How is quicksand formed Water pushes up from below the surface and is held by the sand.The grains of sand are forced apart by the water.They cannot hold any weight.The subsurface water may have come from a spring, a river or a stream.Sometimes pools of water near beaches become filled with sand.When the soil under these pools does not allow for good drainage(排水), the sand can become stretches of quicksand.

Is it true that a man who steps into quicksand is doomed to(注定) die No, for men have fought their way from quicksand to firm land again.It is panic(恐慌) that creates the condition that can result in death, for the more a person struggles, the worse matters become.Quick movements will make the sand give way temporarily(临时地), but then it rushes and settles solidly around the body.A man trapped in quicksand should either lie back, or not move at all, except to stretch out his arms.When the weight of the sand his body has displaced equals his weight, he will stop sinking.With feet held still, and with slow movements of the arms, as in the backstroke in swimming men can manage to roll to safety and reach firm ground.
