高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

It’s a classroom. Instead of being told to sit quietly and listen, you are encouraged to stand up, jump around, imagine and act out. It’s a class full of laughter and applause (鼓掌), emotion and energy. Welcome to drama class, one of my favorite classes at high school.

In drama class we used to play a lot of “drama games”. We would improvise (即兴表演), copy and above all use our imagination.

My favorite game was called “Spotto”. One person stood in the front of the class and performed a scene, completely out of their imagination. When one audience member yelled “Spotto!”, the performer had to freeze. Then the person who had yelled Spotto had to get up and improvise a new scenario (剧情) based on the position the first performer froze in. This went on as more and more people were added to the scene. Eventually the entire class would have joined the scene. Then the performers would start to leave in reverse (颠倒的) order.

It was a lot of fun, and a good test of everyone’s imagination to see what they would come up with. Drama class at my school often involved a big performance at the end of the term as well. We would work on a production throughout the term and put on a show for our parents and the school community.

It was a great experience to perform on stage in front of a large audience. Drama class can help shy children, like me, to come out of their shells. It helped them become more confident and developed their public speaking skills. Drama class is also a great place to express oneself, and a way for children to use up some of their energy.

1.Which do you agree with about the game “Spotto”？

A. Each performer in the game has to retell the story of the latter performer.

B. A performer has to show a story unrelated to that of the former performer.

C. Every student gets the chance to make a contribution to the “Spotto” game.

D. It is designed to help drama students learn from one another’s performance.

2.The underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refers to “　　　　 ”.

A. shy children　　 B. a large audience　　 C. drama students　　 D. the whole class

3.What do you know about the author according to the article?

A. He was too shy to attend the drama class.

B. He was a star student in the drama games.

C. He was shining in big performances each term.

D. He was happy to perform on stage in front of the audience.

4.What’s the best title for this passage?

A. A few drama games for fun.

B. How to improve drama skills.

C. Unforgettable experiences on stage.

D. One of my favorite high school courses.

You’re sitting on the sofa, and there’s your dog, right at your feet. You stand up? He stands up. But then you head to the bathroom, and guess who comes with? Why, your dog, of course. But why? Why does your dog follow you like a shadow, no matter where you go?

Ever get the feeling you're being followed? As for why your companion follows you everywhere you go, read on !

“When dogs follow their owners, there can be several scientific explanations, depending on the dog and the individual situation,”according to Mary Burch, Ph.D., an animal behaviorist(行为学家).

These explanations include:

Positive reinforcement(正面强化): When your dog follows you, good things happen. Think dog food, a hot bath and taking a walk around the neighborhood. Your dog’s no dummy. And one of his many talents is learning from experience, that is “reinforcement.”

Natural instinct(本能) to be part of a pack: In fact, a study out of Princeton University that was published in the journal, Science Advances, shows that your dog’s drive (驱动力)to follow you around (as well as watch you attentively and seek physical contact (身体接触) from you) lies in his genes(基因).

Feel good chemicals(化学物质): Your presence causes your dog’s brain to release “feel good” chemicals, Dr. Primm explains, citing this study. Considering how much we as humans enjoy those feel-good chemicals, it’s no surprise your dog likes them too—and will follow you around to get some!

Sense of responsibility : As you move about your home, your dog might feel that you are patrolling your territory (巡视领地) and take on the duty to assist you.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Explanations for some dog behaviors.

B. Some natural instincts of the dogs.

C. The reasons why dogs follow you.

D. Dogs are good friends of human.

2.How does the author introduce the topic?

A. By listing numbers.

B. By giving examples.

C. By telling a story.

D. By making a survey.

3.What does the underlined word “dummy” mean in Para 5?

A. cute.　　 B. considerate.

C. stupid.　　 D. lovely.

4.Why does the dog like to be part of a pack?

A. This kind of behaviour is reinforced.

B. Dog’s brain releases chemicals.

C. Dogs have sense of responsibility.

D. It is passed from elder generations.

Quietly sitting there reading, I found myself suddenly listening to the train guard’s announcements. Train travelers will surely agree that when the guard makes an announcement, whether it’s the recorded message or the guard’s message, few people listen to it, because it’s often quite dull or hard to understand. This one was different. I noticed that other passengers appeared to be listening, too. Not only that, everyone was smiling!

Why was so much attention being paid to this message? As best I can recall, the guard said something along these lines, “Good Morning Ladies, Gentlemen and Children, this is the 7:35 a.m. from Penrith to Central and you’ll be pleased to know that we are right on time. And what a lovely morning it is in Sydney today. The sun is shining, birds are singing, and all’s right with the world. I trust you have a great day wherever you’re going. Thanks for catching my train this morning and I hope to see you again soon.”

Quite a few people (obviously previous strangers) started talking to one another about the guard’s excellent message and how good it had made everyone feel. I started thinking about this, and then I found the young guard and said “Were you the guard on the 7:35 a.m. from Penrith?” The guard seemed a bit stunned at first, replying, “Yes, yyyyes.” “Well, I really appreciate your announcement. Thank you for your extremely good message, which gave me and the other passengers such a good start to the day. Please keep doing it.” I said.

There are two messages for me in what happened that day. Firstly, when people are happy in their work it shows in what they do and say. Secondly, the story attaches much importance to the benefits that accumulate from thanking people for something they’ve done, particularly when it’s not expected. Can you imagine the conversation that guard would have when he got home?

1.Why do few train travelers listen to the announcements?

A. The messages are unattractive.

B. The guard’s voice is not clear.

C. They usually feel sleepy.

D. They are absorbed in books.

2.What does the underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Patient.　　 B. Cautious.

C. Surprised.　　 D. Excited.

3.What might the guard talk about with his family when he got home?

A. The beautiful weather.

B. The recorded message.

C. The train from Penrith.

D. The unexpected appreciation.

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. An Intelligent Guard.　　 B. A Boring Train Story.

C. A Different Train Announcement.　　 D. A Lovely Morning in Sydney.

The Four People You Don’t Want to Sit Next to on a Plane

Let me begin by promising you that I am not an angry person. I would actually vow that I am inherently happy and all-around quite friendly and nice. But one thing that really grinds my gears, is being seated next to a nightmare neighbor on an airplane.

1.

Perhaps you normally like them, but when you are sitting next to them on a plane it’s a different thing. They usually spend all the flight moving around and dropping their toys on the floor, and when they’re drinking their orange juice it ends up on your trousers. 2.. So you can’t have the little sleep that you were planning.

Conversation makers

You recognize this type as soon as you sit down. They immediately start talking about the plane, or the weather, or they ask you a personal question. It’s very difficult not to talk to these people. 3..

Nervous fliers

These are the people with white faces who sit down and immediately ask for something to drink. Every five minutes they call a flight attendant to ask if there are any problems with the plane. 4.. The best thing to do is to pretend to sleep.

Space invaders

5.. But they have a terrible habit of taking up all their room, and some of your room too. They usually sit so that you can’t move, with their arms and legs in your space.

A. Naughty kids

B. Well-behaved parents

C. They also tell you about air crash

D. Some people want to talk all the time

E. The people are not necessarily very large

F. Then they decide they want to have fun with you

G. You’ll probably have to keep talking until the plane lands
