河南省开封市通许实验中学2021-2021学年高一下学期英语期末考试试卷一、阅读理解1. (2018高一下开封期末)阅读理解 With her pretty face and soulful voice, Zhang Bichen was thought a possible champion when she first set foot on the stage of the TV show The Voice of China. On Oct 7, 2014, the 25-year-old girl won the fierce competition and received the title of the “Voice of the Year”. Zhangs dream of being a singer star came true as last. What impressed people was not only Zhangs singing skills, but her willingness to make an effort. “I gained the opportunity to sing on The Voice of China,” she said. In fact, being a singer has always been her dream. She wanted to apply to a college for singing, but her parents insisted that she should have an easy job after graduation because she did very well at school. So Zhang gave in to her parents and learned French at university. However, in the first year of her college, she was discovered by a South Korean company when she entered a singing competition. To realize her dream, Zhang signed a contract（合同）with the company, started her career in South Korea, and became a member of a band. “My company had rules that did not allow us to use cell phones. During the first few months after I arrived in South Korea, a totally unfamiliar country, I felt terribly homesick. But I could only phone my parents in the restroom when nobody noticed.” Zhang said. “When I did not have much income, I had to eat noodles every day for months.” It was her positive attitude and outgoing character that helped her through. “When I feel down, I tell myself it is not winning or losing that matters. The most important things are standing on the stage and singing for people.” she said. （1）On October 7, 2014, Zhang Bichen _.A . was successful in her studyB . signed a contract with a big companyC . first set foot on the Chinese stageD . won the championship of The Voice of China（2）The reason why Zhang learned French at university is that _.A . she is good at FrenchB . she can realize her dreamC .
