宜昌2025学年度第二学期期末教学质量检测高一英语

1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或者中文。

       Swimming is really popular in summer. Is it still popular in cold winter? Yes, it is in Russia. When we put on our warm clothes, 1 people in Russia are ready to swim in the icy water. Russian people like winter swimming.

       Winter swimming is a part of the Russian festival Epiphany (显现节). 2 它在一月份来临。 It is the coldest month in Russia. The temperature can be 10 degrees below zero! People dig holes in ice-covered rivers. Then, they jump in the holes and swim in the cold water. Russian people believe the water is holy. It can bring health to their bodies and clean their souls. People of all ages join winter swimming, including little kids. 3 Parents think this can help kids get stronger. Before they jump in the icy water on that day, 4 the swimmers need to do a lot of preparations. Some people may start to take daily cold showers a few weeks before that. That helps them get used to the icy water. Some people eat a lot of fatty food to store energy, so they won’t freeze out (冻坏) in the icy water.

       5在俄罗斯，冬天很长. In this country, a city called Oymyakon is the coldest place in the country. Its winter temperature sometimes reaches 70 degrees below zero! Everything there can freeze when it is in the open air, such as people’s eyelashes (睫毛)!

A. surprise B. suggests C. wonderful

Most people think that the best store is one with very expensive goods. It’s 【1】 great if you have a pocket full of money and can buy something in one. How wonderful to be able to come home with an expensive computer, a latest iPod or a designer dress!

But have you ever heard of “dollar stores”? As the name 【2】, in dollar stores everything costs a dollar or less. You find them in the US and many other western countries. In dollar stores there is a 【3】 variety（品种）and everything is affordable.

If you go into a clothes shop you find clothes. If you go into a car showroom you see cars. But in a dollar store who knows what you will find? Visiting a dollar store is like going on a treasure hunt（寻宝）. There’ll be pots and pans for the kitchen, books, clothes, toys—and a thousand other things you never 【4】! There’s always a 【5】 in a dollar store.

Why are dollar stores so cheap? It’s because they’re full of stock that hasn’t sold in other stores. Clothes that were last year’s fashion; books that won’t sell; inventions for the kitchen that didn’t catch on. You may find that you don’t want these either. But, even if you don’t want to buy, they are great places to look around—rather like 【6】. And remember, nothing costs more than a dollar!

22、Fear may be as old as life on earth. It seems that many people don’t like being frightened. However, some people like it. They think fear is a great feeling. Why is that?

Scientists from University of Pittsburgh did a study of about two hundred and sixty people. The people went into a haunted house（鬼屋）. After they came out, the scientists found that they were all happy and less anxious and tired.

The study showed that playing in a “fun-frightened” activity could make people feel good. The feeling is like running a 5-kilometer race or finishing climbing a tall wall. When you make it through, you feel you are stronger.

“To really enjoy fear, you have to know you’re in a safe environment,” Margee Kerr, a scientist who studies fear, said. “When you play in haunted houses, you may be frightened but excited because you know they’re not real. Instead, if you walk alone on a dark road at night and a stranger（陌生人）follows you, you must want to run right away and you can’t enjoy that kind of fear!”

【1】The scientists asked ________ people to play in a haunted house.
