辽宁省沈阳市和平区2016-2017学年高一英语下学期期中试题时间:100分钟 分数:120分 第I卷(请将答案涂在答题卡上)第一部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节 (共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)从A、B、C、D四个选项中,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。 ANew research has found that even if you give up smoking, the damage it has done to your genes (基因) will stay there for a much longer time.In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non-smokers. Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed-a number that is one-third of known human genes.According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years. This means your body is trying to heal (治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years, Its almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥) -it will always be there, even when youve walked away and when the cement becomes dry.Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.1The function of Paragraph 1 is to_ .A. give an example B. show the main idea of the passage C. make an argument D. introduce the topic of the passage2Most genetic changes happen because of_ .A. peoples bad living habit B. environmental pollutionC. peoples condition at birth D. heart disease and cancer3The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to_ .A. the footprint B. the cementC. the harmful effect D. the genetic change4Which of the following statements is true?A.

But he was a hard-working pupil even in his childhood. As a young man of a little over twenty, he became a small official of the state. Since he was very knowledgeable and serious in work, he had become quite well-known by the time he turned thirty. Confucius had been to many of the states of the time, trying to make his political views accepted by the rulers in running their states. But they turned a d deaf ear to his views and opinions. As a result, Confucius made up his mind to devote all his energies to education. When people learned about this, many of them sent their children to him to be educated. They were accepted and so Confucius became the first man in the history of Chinese education to start a private school.Yan Hui, a young man of humble origin, wanted to be accepted as Confuciuss student. But the family was so poor that they even had difficulty providing themselves with daily necessities. He was afraid he would be rejected as he could not afford the tuition(学费) One day he came to where Confucius was giving lectures and overheard Confucius say, “Im ready to accept anyone that can bring 10 pieces of preserved meat for tuition, whatever his origin” Hearing this, Yan Hui hurried back home and told his friends Zi Lu and Zi Gong about it. A few days later, all three became Confuciuss students.Confucius was a dedicated educator, having accepted a total of 3,000 students in his life, of whom 72 were outstanding scholars.
