As I entered the schools gate, I was greeted by a crowd of students. The hallways were filled with talking and laughter. It was a lot to handle, and I felt like a tiny fish in a vast ocean. I held my schedule tightly, trying to find the right classroom. My heart raced as I was scared of getting lost.My first class was English, and as I walked in, I spotted familiar faces from my previous school I breathed a sigh of relief as I took my seat, surrounded by friendly smiles. My English teacher, Mrs. Johnson, introduced herself and made everyone feel comfortable. She explained what we would be studying during the semester and encouraged us to share our thoughts and ideas. The next class was mathematics, which happened to be my weakest subject. I felt a tight feeling in my stomach as I entered the classroom, but my maths teacher, Mr. Smith, turned out to be very patient. He promised us that we would learn and improve together. His words of support made me feel more relaxed, and I began to believe that I could overcome my maths struggles.During lunchtime, I sat with a group of students who quickly became my friends. We shared stories, and talked about our expectations for high school. It was during this time that I realized that high school wasn’t just about academics (学术); it was also about building friendships and making lasting memories.The rest of the day flew by with a variety of classes, faces, and experiences. My first day of high school was filled with moments of anxiety, joy, and the promise of new beginnings. 4．Why did the author feel like a tiny fish in a vast ocean at first?A．Because of excitement and curiosity.B．Because of the school’s welcoming atmosphere.C．Because of fear of the unfamiliar environmentD．Because of good preparations for the new school.5．Which words can best describe the English teacher?A．Outgoing and friendly.B．Generous and powerful.C．Responsible and patient.D．Encouraging and supportive.6．How did the author feel when entering the maths class?A．Excited.B．Anxious.C．Relaxed.D．Confident.7．What did the author realize during lunchtime?A．High school only focused on academics.B．High school was an extremely challenging place.C．High school was full of old friends and classmates.D．High school was also about wonderful social experiencesPeople are motivated to try a vegetarian diet for different reasons-from religious beliefs to potential health and environmental benefits. But many people have a hard time sticking with it. In fact studies show many self-reported vegetarians actually do consume some animal products.“A lot of people who want to be vegetarian are perhaps notable to.” says Dr. Nabeel Yassen of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. “We wanted to know if genetics is part of the reason,” he says.Yaseen and his colleagues compared the DNA of about 330,000 people, using data from the UK Biobank initiative The study included 5.324 vegetarians, who had not eaten any animal flesh or products obtained from animals for at least one year. They found 34 genes that may play a role in maintain a strict vegetarian diet. And they identified 3 genes that are more tightly linked to it.“What we can say is that these genes have something to do with vegetarianism (素食主义),” Yaseen says. “Perhaps vegetarians have different variants (变体) of these genes that make them able to pursue a strict vegetarian diet,” he explains. The study is published in PLOS ONE, a science journal.Of the three genes most strongly associated with vegetarianism, the authors say two of them have important functions in fat metabolism (新陈代谢). The study can’t answer exactly how genetic differences could shape or influence vegetarians, but Dr. Yaseen has some ideas. “One theory is that maybe there’s a fat nutrient, or nutrients, in meat that some people need and others don’t,” he says.“Lots of factors influence what we eat, everything from our taste preferences, to our budgets to our culture. So, the idea that food choice is a so influenced by genetics is not surprising,” Yaseen says. “But this is just the first step,” he adds, “More research is needed to determine which genes and which variants maybe crucial.”8．What is the purpose of the study?A．To explore the cultural aspects of vegetarianism.B．To promote vegetarianism among senior people.C．To determine why people choose a vegetarian diet.D．To find out whether genes are related to vegetarianism.9．How does the author mainly organize Paragraph 3?A．By presenting some examples.B．By giving definitions.C．By making comparisons.D．By listing some numbers.10．What can we learn from Yaseen’s words?A．Genes have no influence on vegetarianism.B．More research needs conducting to identify critical genes.C．The study has successfully determined the key genetic variants.D．The study accurately explains how genetics shape food choices.11．What is the best title for the text?A．Benefits of a V egetarian Diet B．The Rules of a Meatless LifestyleC．The Genetic Factors in Vegetarianism D．Environmental Impact of VegetarianismIn various restaurants worldwide, there’s a new sight-child-sized robots. These robots can welcome guests, show them to their tables, deliver food and drinks, and even transport dirty dishes back to the kitchen. Some believe these robot waiters could be a solution to today’s worker shortages in the restaurant industry, with tens of thousands of them now in use.But other people think that robots can’t replace human workers. Robot waiters can’t take orders, and they struggle with steps, limiting their abilities.Despite these disadvantages, their use is growing. For example, in Madison Heights, Michigan, Li Zhai faced difficulty finding enough workers for his restaurant, Noodle Topia. To address this, he purchased robots from Pudu Robotics. These robots have been a success, with one leading diners to their seats, another delivering food, and a third transporting dirty dishes.Zhai found that using these robots reduced his need for employees. Three robots now do the work of what used to require five or six people. In terms of cost, a robot costs around $15 000, while a human can cost $5,000 to $6,000 per month. These robots also have a surprising benefit-they free up human servers to spend more time with customers, resulting in increasedtips, Additionally, diners often share videos of the robots on social media, attracting more visitors to the restaurant.However, not all restaurants have had the same success. For instance, Chili’s (奇利斯餐厅)introduced robot servers in 2020, expanding the test to 61U.S. restaurants before suddenly stopping the program. The robots were criticized (批评) for their slow movement and getting in the way of human servers. A survey showed that 58% of guests believed the robots didn’t improve their overall dining experience.12．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A．To introduce a survey about robot waiters.B．To show the success of robot waiters in restaurants.C．To describe the appearance of child-sized robots in restaurants.D．To discuss the challenges of hiring human workers in restaurants.13．What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Solve.B．Narrow.C．Ignore.D．Control. 14．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A．The history of robot waiters in the U.S.B．The challenges of introducing robot servers.C．The effect of social media on the restaurant industry.D．The advantages of using robots in the restaurant industry.15．What can be inferred from the passage?A．All restaurants with robot servers are successful.B．The use of robot waiters still has a long way to go.C．Robot waiters are cheaper to employ than human workers.D．The restaurant industry is not affected by worker shortages.二、七选五For anyone going through a difficult time, I want to pass on the list of the steps that I created. These steps have helped me move forward in the past few years. I’m not a professional, but these steps have helped me and I want to share them with you. Here are my several steps to move forward.Talk When You’re Ready: 16 When you’re ready to talk, find someone whoyou can talk to as an equal and whose opinion you value, and pour your heart out. Sometimes, just having someone who cares and who is there for you gives you the power you need to move on.Escape When You Need To: but not too often. Sometimes life delivers hardships, and your heart and mind are too full to process things in a healthy way. 17 You can watch a TV show or movie, read a book, or surf the Internet. Take a break from the things that are weighing you down, and comeback to them later with a fresh outlook. But don’t escape too often, because escaping never makes your problems go away. 18Reach Out: Interaction(交流)is an important thing in any person’s life. Reaching out doesn’t necessarily mean telling everyone about your struggles. 19 It can mean laughing and teasing each other, but it also means support. This support is like a strong wall that can carry you through challenging moments. These are the people who know how to encourage you when you’re facing difficulties.Channel(引导) Your Nervous Energy: 20 The best way to prevent this is to throw yourself into another project, a more relaxing one. For me, this usually means writing, scrapbooking, or artwork of some kind. I actually find that some of my best poetry is written when I’m trying not to breakdown.A．In these moments, escape is essential.B．Hope is finally what allows you to move on.C．You always have to deal with them eventually.D．Often you may find yourself stressing out and worrying.E．Instead, it means finding people you enjoy and spending time with them.F．Sometimes you feel like talking things through and sometimes you don’t.G．Find the things that inspire you the most, and absorb them into your world.三、完形填空When Darrell Langworthy was growing up, Thanksgiving meant 30 neighbors sharing awhere a(n) 25 of barbecue and community service has made Mark BBQ a hotspot, Colchester is a small town on the shores of Lake Champlain, just north of Burlington, Mark BBQ is 26 by the locals for its brisket burgers, pulled-pork sandwiches, and Tex-Mex meatloaf (烘肉卷).For many, Mark BBQ is also as top on the road to recovery.

The body of a guqin is made of lacquered (上漆的) wood and the strings of twisted silk. Unlike its seemingly simple appearance, making a guqin is 37 (extreme) demanding. An outstanding piece can take anywhere from two to several decades 38 (create). It is a result of art and time.The tone of a guqin is quiet, light and 39 (distance). Vibrations (琴弦振动) are used to produce a flowing and lingering (持续的) quality, 40 abundant empty notes in between. As the listener fills in the gaps in their own minds, a connection is formed between music and man.The guqin 41 (favor) by the scholars in ancient China. The most well-known guqin musician was Yu Boya in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. As he played his guqin in the mountains, a woodcutter named Zhong Ziqi heard the music and understood exactly 42 Yu wanted to express. This deep understanding formed 43 strong bond between them, and they became close friends. This is the famous tale behind the guqin masterpiece, Flowing Water, High Mountains.

AHere are some pet-friendly universities in the UK and US.University of IllinoisStudents are allowed up to two pets in each apartment, as well as a fish tank of no more than 50 gallons.To keep a pet, you will need to get approval from the Family & Graduate housing department at the University of Illinois. You will have to provide proof that your pet is up to date with its vaccinations(疫苗), and pay a monthly US$30 pet fee, which is non-refundable(不可退款的).Your pet can’t be left for extended periods of time, and if there’s evidence that you’ve left it alone due to vacation or illness, the university may remove it.Harvard UniversityWith as many as 12 pet-friendly apartments, Harvard is a very pet-friendly university. It allows students to have fish in a tank of no more than 50 gallons, except for Harvard’s Cronkhite Graduate Center.In Harvard’s pet-friendly apartments, you’re allowed: one cat or one dog, which can’t be over 40 pounds when fully grown. At most, two pet birds.University of British Columbia Students can take advantage of the university’s B．A．R. K program, which uses the calming power of therapy dogs to help them.B．A．R. K started at the University of British Columbia, after an assistant professor called Dr. John-Tyler Binfet noticed that he couldn’t walk across campus without students running over to play with his dog, Frances. The students told him they were homesick and missed their pets, which encouraged Binfet to establish B．A．R. K as a way of fighting their loneliness.University of OxfordThe University of Oxford is famous for its resident pets, who happily wander around college grounds. Many Oxford colleges have their own tortoise and take part in the annual Corpus Christi tortoise race.Although you are not allowed to keep your own pet as a student, several Oxford colleges hold dog petting and walking therapy sessions.1．What is one of the rules for keeping pets at the University of Illinois?A．Pet keepers should pay a monthly US$ 30 pet fee which will be returned.B．Pets can’t be left alone in the apartments due to vacation or illness.C．Students have to keep fish in a fish tank of no more than 20 gallons.D．The cat or dog can’t be over 40 pounds when fully grown.2．Why did Dr. John-Tyler Binfet start B．A．R.

B．University of Oxford.C．University of Illinois. D．University of British Columbia.BA survey by the American Psychological Association shows that one in ten adults reads online news at least once an hour. A lot has been written about the mental health influence from news addiction, and in particular from reading negative reports. Just like junk food, “junk” news can be bad for our health.In recent years, things have been getting increasingly more negative. A study of the content of New Zealand’s largest newspaper showed that while in 1973 the average number of stories about death on the front page was 0.75, by 2013 it was 4.1(and no, there weren’t five times more people dying).What’s more, online news, and the stories we read on mobile phones in particular, tend to be even more negative than print. A 2019 study of 50 U.S. newspapers showed that mobile versions of newspapers report three times more stories about disasters and accidents than paper ones.Such negative reports lead people to believe that things are worse than they really are. They can lead to stress, worry and lower spirits.Experiments also suggest that loneliness and poor relationships have been connected with reading negative reports. After reading negative reports, people are less likely to help others. Even worse, when we check news on smart phones, we may “phub” our loved ones, which leads to lower relationship satisfaction.Negative reports attract our attention far more than positive ones. That’s a global happening. I hope, however, that if we realize that negative news is spoiling our moods, we might all be more willing to change. 4．Why is “junk food” mentioned in the first paragraph?A．To entertain readers.B．To introduce the topic.C．To make an advertisement.D．To keep readers away from it.5．What can we learn about the study in Paragraph 2?A．The death rate in New Zealand is very high.B．Print newspapers have become less popular.C．Stories about death have become less popular.D．Negative reporting has been increasing over years. 6．What may negative reports lead people to do?A．Live a hopeful life.B．Become more careful.C．Become less likely to help others.D．Pay more attention to their physical health.7．What does the underlined word “phub” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Ignore B．Hate C．Laugh at D．Care about8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．A Survey on News Reading Habits B．Negative Effects of Mobile PhonesC．Is Online News Better Than Print?D．Is Junk News a Danger to Health?CThere was once a boy called Mario who loved to have lots of friends at school. However, he wasn’t sure whether or not his classmates were his true friends, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just exactly what you need; it’s in the attic (阁楼). Wait here for a minute.”Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It’s a very special chair. Because it’s invisible (无形的) it’s rather difficult to sit on, but if you take it to school and you manage to sit on it, you’ll be able to tell who your true friends are.”Mario took the strange invisible chair and went to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Nobody move. You’re about to see something amazing,” Mario said.Then Mario tried sitting on the chair. He missed and fell straight onto his backside. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. Mario wouldn’t be beaten. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to theground... until, suddenly, he tried again and didn’t fall. This time he sat, hovering (悬停) in mid-air.Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana — three of his best friends — holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall. At the same time, many others he had thought of as friends were doing nothing but make fun of him, enjoying each and every fall.Leaving with his three friends, Mario explained to them how his grandpa had so cleverly thought of such a good idea. Now he knows that those who take joy in our misfortunes (不幸) when we are in difficulty are not our true friends.9．What did Mario’s grandpa take from the attic?A．An invisible chair.B．An old chair.C．A real chair.D．Nothing.10．Why did Mario’s grandpa give him the invisible chair?A．To see whether Mario could sit on it. B．To test who were Mario’s true friends.C．To let Mario have fun with his classmates.D．To test whether Mario was popular at school. 11．How was Mario able to hover in mid-air?A．He saw the invisible chair suddenly. B．He managed to sit on the chair finally.C．His friends held him up with their hands. D．His classmates gave him a chair to sit on.12．What does the story tell us?A．Never laugh at our friends. B．True friends can help us do magic.C．True friends are those who care for us. D．Having too many good friends isn’t a good thing.DSure, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.And yes, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.In fact, kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable with asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and makes them do their best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues (问题).Here is a question：What if you don’t get along with your teachers? In fact, teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn. But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes (个性冲突), which can happen between any two people. If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better, he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen. By dealing with a problem like this, you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you.However if a certain teacher isn’t your favorite, you can still have a successful relationship with him or her especially if you fulfill (履行) your basic responsibilities as a student.Here are some of those responsibilities (责任)：Attend class ready to learn.Be prepared for class with the right stationery, books, and completed assignments (作业).Listen when your teacher is talking.Do your best, whether it’s a classroom assignment, homework, or a test.13．According to the passage, what will happen to you when getting along well with your teachers ?A．We will have no problems with studyB．We will get a better seat in the classroomC．We will get the best scores in the examsD．We will have more pleasant time in the classroom14．What does the underlined word “that” refers to in the fourth paragraph?A．The happy time you have in the classroomB．Getting along very well with classmatesC．A better relationship between you and your teacherD．The disappearance of personality differences15．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．The importance of friendship in schools.B．The importance of a good relationship with your teachers.C．Studying skills for students.D．Useful skills to get along well with your teachers.16．As a student, what will you do if you don’t like a certain teacher ?A．You fulfill (履行) your basic responsibilities as a studentB．You are thought of as a good studentC．You know some basic social skillsD．You are easygoing and helpful第二节七选五(每小题1分，共5分，根据短文内容，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

陕西省西安市2023-2024学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题姓名：__________班级：__________考号：__________题号一二三四五总分评分一、第一部分阅读，第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读理解A British sleep expert,professor Chris Idzikowski,did a research showing that there was some connection between the way people sleep and their personality.The fetal positionThe fetal position gets its name from the shape of a baby in the mother's stomach.It is the most common position in the world.People who sleep in the fetal position tend towards worry and anxiety.They are often shy and sensitive.In the fetal position,a sleeper's body is like a ball as he lies on one side with legs and arms bent.Adults usually sleep in this position.The starfish positionWhen sleeping like a starfish,you lie on your back with arms up near the pillow.Sleep scientist Idzikowski says starfish sleepers value friendship.People who sleep in this position are good listeners and quick to help others.If you have a starfish sleeper as a best friend,you're in luck.Starfish sleepers are great listeners and a source of comfort to others.The freefall positionIn the freefall position,sleepers have their hands on or around their pillows,with their heads turned to one side. Freefall sleepers are social but sensitive and can become upset by extreme situations.They like to be in control of everything around their life.It's all part of their long periods of indecision,but once they make a choice,they stick to it. This position can aid in digestion(消化).The log positionFor those who suffer from back pain,the log position could be helpful for you.Log sleepers have both their arms and legs extended,so their bodies are straight like a log.Log sleepers are very trusting,but are usually social and easy-going individuals.Idzikowski claims that preferring a log position suggests that a person is sociable and can communicate with others easily.1．What's the personality of people sleeping in fetal position?A．Social and easy-going.B．Sensitive and social.C．Friendly and positive.D．Shy and sensitive.2．Which of the following is most suitable to be a friend?A．A fetal sleeper.B．A starfish sleeper.C．A freefall sleeper.D．A log sleeper.3．What can we know about log sleepers?A．They do well in sports.B．They are good listeners.C．They are easy to get along with.D．They have difficulty making decisions.阅读理解The world will become a better place when we realize that everyone can have bad days and that we care enough and take actions.A Kansas fourth-grade teacher Rachel Harder recognized this,and she found an amazing way to help out both her students and their families.A few years ago,Rachel attended a trauma(精神创伤)conference.She learned that some police stations partnered with schools.They could let teachers know when their students need help,patience or extra care.A year after the conference,Rachel had a student with autism who frequently had difficult days.To support the student,Rachel told the student's mom to simply text her"Handle with Care"to let her know when the student was experiencing difficult time."When she would text me,I knew that her daughter needed some extra time and a quiet place to get help,not going to the playground for morning announcements(通告),so that the rest of her daughter's day went well,"Rachel said.The simple method was such a success that Rachel decided to send all of her students home with a note for their parents.It explained what the"Handle with Care"system was and how they could make use of it.In no time,the parents began to show their appreciation for Rachel's unbelievable act of kindness.But Rachel's kindness didn't end with her class.News spread of the amazing system,and teachers across the country began giving it a shot in their own class.Printed materials could be found on the school website,and the feedback(反馈)has been extremely positive!4．What happened to Rachel a few years ago?A．She met with a policeman.B．She noticed some students in need.C．She acted as a host at a contest.D．She raised a girl with autism.5．What can we imagine Rachel probably did to the girl student?A．She asked to stop the morning announcements.B．She talked with her in the playground.C．She took her home ahead of time.D．She comforted her at a quiet place.6．How did the parents treat Rachel's system?A．They paid no attention to it.B．They changed it in daily use.C．They accepted it thankfully.D．They introduced it to others personally.7．What is the text mainly about?A．A proper system.B．A considerate teacher.C．A story going online.D．A class influencing the nation.阅读理解The characteristic(特征)of shyness is to feel frightened and nervous in new social situations or when being the center of attention.Whether shyness is part of your children's personality or just something they feel when they are in front of a group of strangers,it is a common experience,according to a study.To look at shyness,researchers brought152children aged7-8into a lab and told them they would give a speech, which would be filmed and shown to other children.The study showed that about10%of the children showed a level of stress over time when giving the speech.About25%of the children were not reported to be shy in the eyes of their parents,but in fact showed a level of social stress from giving the speech.This finding provides the fact that shyness may be a part of these children's temperament(性情).For children at this age,shyness may be a quite common and normal experience when they face a speech task.For a smaller group of shy children,however,being the center of attention may be stressful at different times and environments.A shy temperament isn't always valued by society like an outgoing personality,but that doesn't mean there is something wrong.Everyone can feel shy at times depending on the environment.And those who are particularly shy often have happy social lives—they just aren't likely to be the liveliest people in a crowded room.Although shyness itself may not necessarily be a problem,parents should pay attention to signs of worry, particularly in their shy children.Importantly,however,we know that not all shy children are the same,and that many shy children grow up to be well-balanced adults.8．What can we learn from paragraph1?A．Shyness is not an unusual characteristic.B．Shyness is born with personality.C．Shyness will appear when one is in public.D．Shyness means not communicating with others.9．What is the finding of the study?A．Few kids like to give a speech to others.B．Some kids can get shy while giving speeches.C．Some kids appear less shy with their parents.D Some kids are stressed when being separated.10．What does the author advise parents to do when facing shy children?A．Bring them to crowded space.B．Care for them and give them confidence.C．Keep them away from shyness.D．Let them be alone.11．What can be the best title for the text?A．When are people shy?B．Ways of beating shynessC．Why is shyness a bad thing?D．The discoveries about shyness阅读理解Humans are not the animal world's only fashion followers.Tits(山雀)can be one of them,too.A study by Sonja Wild and Lucy Aplin shows that,given the chance,they make their nests(巢穴)with this season's must-have color.Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin followed up on a study which noted that the blue tits preferred to put the same plants into their nests.This also suggested fashion-following—and it led Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin to imagine that birds were studying the nests of others and copying them.The birds they followed carried instruments on them.That allowed researchers to follow a large number of tits by their arrival at food dispensers(自动取物装置)throughout the woods.One day in March2021,Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin used five dispensers with wool rather than food.Each contained two colors—either orange and pink or blue and purple—but all were rigged to give only one of these.This remained so until at least one local nest was seen to include wool from a dispenser.At that moment,the other color was discovered, too.As a comparison,Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin set up four wool dispensers in a separate area,each providing two colors from the beginning.Of68tits'nests,26included wool from a dispenser.Of these,18were built after both colors had been gotten from all dispensers.Even so,10of that18included only the color of wool first chosen by a nest makers.By contrast(相比之下),all8nests with wool have mixed colors,which showed a clear difference in the record.Tits,then,do seem to be"in fashion"when it comes to nest-building materials.Tits like those of the leaders of human fashions and it is worth more deep research.12．Why are the same plants put into nests by the tits?A．They want to beautify their nests.B．They find no other plants.C．They are used to doing this.D．They want to keep warm.13．What does the underlined word"rigged"in paragraph4mean?A．Refused.B．Warned.C．Forced.D．Arranged.14．What method is mainly used in the experiment?A．Testing colors.B．Observing activities.C．Comparing results.D．Checking numbers.15．What is the author's attitude to the research?A．Disappointed.B．Supportive C．Doubtful.D．Unclear.二、第一部分阅读，第二节任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

"Hey!" she shouted. "I'm driving around giving free haircuts. If I go grab my chair, do you want one right now?" "No problem." he said. "I'll be right back," Steller said. She drove off, went to the salon she owns, and loaded a red chair into her car. Then she drove back. The man, named Edward, took a seat, and she cut his curly graying hair. After Steller was done, Edward looked in a mirror. "I look good!" he said.To date, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city. These clients are all living on the margins, and she is fully aware of the power of her cleanup job. "It's more than a haircut," she says. "I want it to be a gateway, to show value and respect, but also to get to know people. I want to build relationships."Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. One changed hers: as a teen, she suffered from a disease called ulcerative colitis（溃疡性结肠炎）that was so severe and her hair thinned suddenly. Seeing this, her mother arranged for Steller's first professional haircut. "To sit down and have somebody talk to me like a person, it helped me feel cared about." she says. After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she'd felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology school in 2009, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project.Steller listens to people's stories of loss, addiction, and struggle to get back on their feet. The attention apparently works. When she was cutting a woman's hair one day, someone drove by and yelled, "You look amazing!" The woman in the chair smiled very happily. "I'm not unnoticed," she exclaimed. "Look, people see me!" "The way you show up in the world matters," says Steller. "You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give them."（1）Steller gives haircuts to those who ________.A.live with low social statusB.live in the countrysideC.live on the edge of the citiesD.live in small communities（2）What inspired Steller to start her Red Chair Project?A.Her generosity to the poor.B.Her experience in illness.C.Her fear of being alone.D.Her skill of doing hair.（3）How did the woman in the chair feel?A.Confident.B.Shy.C.Shocked.D.Cheerful.（4）Which is the best title for the text?A.Simple Action of KindnessB.A Successful Salon OwnerC.The Power of Free CutsD.The Change of LifeD.One's success is based on how hard he has tried.（4）Which point of view may the author agree to?A.Every effort should be paid back.petition should be encouraged.C.Winning should be a life-and-death matter.D.Fear of failure should be removed in competition.6.I travel a lot, and I find out different "styles"（风格）of directions every time I ask "How can I get to the post office?"Foreign tourists are often confused（困惑）in Japan because most streets there don't have names; in Japan, people use landmarks（地标）in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, "Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop."In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, "Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile."People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. "How far away is the post office?" you ask. "Oh," they answer, "it's about five minutes from here." You say, "Yes, but how many miles away is it?" They don't know.It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, "Sorry, I have no idea." But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers "I don't know." People in Yucatan believe that "I don't know" is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!（1）When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually ________.A.describe the place carefullyB.show him a map of the placeC.refer to recognizable buildings and placesD.tell him the names of the streets（2）What is the place where people measure distance in time?A.New York.B.Kansas.C.Los Angeles.D.Iowa.（3）People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________.A.in order to save timeB.as a testC.for funD.so as to be polite（4）What can we infer from the text?A.It's important for travelers to understand cultural differences.B.It's useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.C.People have similar understandings of politeness.D.New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.（5）Which statement is NOT true according to the text?A.People in Los Angeles have not idea of distance on the map.B.In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks.C.A New Yorker may give a tourist a wrong answer to be polite.D.In Japan people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names.四、书面表达（本题共计 2 小题，每题 5 分，共计10分）7. 假定你是李华，你的英国朋友Mark希望向你了解国画的相关知识，因你临时有事，需要推迟见面时间。

They were taken to hospital,where doctorsdiscovered that their five-minute stay in the water had lowered their bodytemperature nearly ten degrees.Luckily,the boys have fully recovered,though they are still a little awestruck(敬畏的)by their fearless neighbor. "Just to think,"says Cruz,"if he hadn't beenthere,I could have died."8．Why did the boys go to the frozen pondA．They had planned to go skating on the ice for a medal.B．They wondered whether the ice could hold their weight.C．They wanted to have a better understanding at the pond.D．They were curious about what birds there were on the ice.9．Before the boys walked onto the ice,A．they threw a rock to test if the ice was strong enoughB．they caught a nearby buoy and kicked off their shoesC．they asked their neighbor who should be the first to goD．they asked Anthony's older sister to protect them nearby10．What did Cruz do when Anthony fell into the pondA．He went to find a buoy nearby.B．He went to his neighbor for help.C．He rushed in to help his friend.D．He went to ask for his sister's help.11．What can we infer from this passageA．A stranger passing by rescued the two boys at last.B．The two boys were very thankful to their neighbor.C．Cruz fell into the pond with Anthony at the same time.D．Anthony's older sister invited the two boys to the pond.阅读理解As climate change quickly advances,many Middle Eastern countries aremaking the change from oil-based economies to ones that attract people fromaround the world—for travelling,business,work or to live.One such example is NEOM to be built in Saudi Arabia.A key part ofNEOM is"The Line",a$725billionfuturistic city designed to house9millionpeople.It is a mirrored(镜子)wall-like building200meters wide and500 meterstall.To be built in north-western Tabuk province,the project will spread170kilometres from the Red Sea across deserts,mountains and valleys.At first look,the project appears environmentally impressive.The city area isno more than100metres from any point in the city.A high-speed electric publictransport service makes sure every part of"The Line"is within20minutes away.Unluckily,as in many high-rise buildings with a large population inside,a vertical(垂直的)transportation would be needed,for it is just like a125-floor building.The project costs also seem OK at$55,000per person.Let's say this isachievable in a country like Saudi Arabia and only covers infrastructure(基础设施).Even so,it remains to be seen how super-high-speed transport and mostadvanced infrastructure and services within the hugest building ever built can becost-effective.The Line is planned for green living.Energy comes from renewable sources,waste water is reused,and it owns the latest"smart city"and mixed-use buildingtechnologies.Car ownership is avoided in favour of walking,cycling and publictransport.However,the materials to be used and the building of such a big projectcould be very harmful to the environment. The plan says no one would be morethan two minutes from nature.But does this include the waiting times for a liftWithout careful design,a high dependence on vertical transportation may ruin thepleasure of walkable or bicycle-friendly areas.12．Why will"The Line"be built in Saudi ArabiaA．To take a step towards green economies.B．To attract more tourists from all over the world.C．To house the increasing population in Saudi Arabia.D．To make preparations for a project known as NEOM.13．How does the author introduce"The Line"in paragraph2?A．By showing an example.B．By designing drawings.C．By making a comparison.D．By supplying numbers.14．What do we know about"The Line"?A．It will surely cost S725million to build.B．It will be wholly environmentally friendly.C．It will require a vertical transportation.D．It will be a125-floor building for certain.15．What does the author think of"The Line"?A．Unclear.B．Doubtful.C．Indifferent.D．Hopeful.二、第一部分阅读理解，第二节任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

My family and I moved to France when I was six years old. Since then, Gansu has become the remote, mysterious land of my ancestors. Even though I come back to visit every year, I still wonder(36)______ the people there live, what they eat, and if I can still be considered one of them.Last year, I returned to the city for the Lunar New Year celebration. My favorite downtown noodle shop was already crowded at 7 a. m. I saw a five-year-old girl having breakfast with her mother at one table and, at(37)______, a street cleaner in an orange outfit calmly finishing his bowl next to a well-dressed businessman. Their lives(38)______ be worlds apart, yet here they share the same daily breakfast.Aside from the delicious noodles, most tourists will visit Dunhuang, a city famous for its ancient Buddhist grottoes and murals(佛教石窟和壁画). I took my first trip there in January 2023. The unique beauty of northwestern China became increasingly easy to see(39)______I drove farther from Lanzhou. The barren(荒芜的) hills and open spaces seemed (40)______(stretch) out forever, covered in a thin layer of snow that sparkled under the winter sun. I found myself impressed by the raw beauty of the vast land in front of me. Gansu felt so real.When I finally reached Dunhuang eight hours later, the temperatures(41)______(drop) well below zero. The famous Mogao Caves demonstrate the rich cultural and spiritual exchanges that took place along the ancient Silk Road. I marveled at the countless frescoes(壁画) and statues(42)______ keep alive the stories of ancientpilgrims(朝圣者). The contrast between the cold, empty landscape surrounding Dunhuang and the colorful sacredness(神圣) of the caves was striking.(43)______ the amazing cultural heritage in Dunhuang, Gansu is not the most attractive place to live. Itis largely a no-man’s land(44)______(trouble) by droughts and sandstorms, but I am still proud of being born there.

Note that there is one word more than you need.A. immigratedB. bridgedC. leavingD. mispronouncingE. fadesF. escapeG. effort H. rather I. ironically J. avoiding K. roleThe Pain of Forgetting My First LanguageNo one prepared me for the heartbreak of losing my first language. It doesn’t feel like the sudden, sharp pain of losing someone you love, but (46)______a dull ache that builds slowly until it becomes a part of you. My first language, Cantonese, is the only one I share with my parents. As it (47)______ from my memory, I also lose my ability to communicate with them.I was born in New York City and spent most of my childhood in Brooklyn speaking Cantonese. It was (and still is) the only language that my parents understand. In the 1980s, they (48)______ to the U. S. from China’s Guangdong Province. The jobs they found in kitchens and garment factories came with long hours, (49)______ them no time to learn English.When I first learned English in elementary school, my parents encouraged me to be excellent in English class because they believed it to be the key to success in America. It was an easy decision to suppress(抑制) Cantonese in an (50)______ to blend in and to feel more American.Over time, Cantonese played a smaller (51)______ in my life. It didn’t occur to me that my Cantonese was regressing until it was too late. First, my directions were off. I started saying jau, which means “right,” when I meant to say zo, which means “left.” Then, the names of colors started to (52)______ me. "I like your green dress", I said to my mom in Cantonese once. “This is blue, silly!” she laughed. Eventually, I struggled to construct sentences altogether, often (53)______ words or failing completely to recall them.It’s deeply frustrating to be unable to express thoughts that I so eagerly want to share with my parents. We have no heart-to-heart conversations or mutual understanding. My heart aches, knowing that there’s a distance between us that may never fully be (54)______ . My parents are in their 60s now. There’s no (55)______ the fact that we have a limited amount of time together. So I made it a goal to relearn Cantonese and, ultimately, rebuild the relationship with my parents, for I don’t want the language barrier to disconnect us anymore.III. Reading Comprehension (45’)Section A(1’*15=15’)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.People on a college campus were more likely to give money to the March of Dimes if they were asked for a donation by a disabled woman in a wheelchair than if asked by a non-disabled woman. In another (56)______ , subway riders in New York saw a man carrying a stick stumble and fall to the floor. Sometimes the victim(受害者) had a large red birthmark on his (57)______; sometimes he did not.

The application was ready to be (63)______ , but had obviously been“lost”. The photo stuck to (粘贴在) the application was sometimes that of a very (64)______ person and sometimes that of a less attractive person. The measure of helping was whether the individual who found the envelope actually mailed it or not. Results showed that people were more likely to (65)______ the application if the person in the photo was physically attractive.The degree of (66)______ between the potential helper and the person in need is also important. For example, people are more likely to help a stranger who is from the same country rather than a foreigner. In one study, shoppers on a busy street in Scotland were more likely to help a person wearing a(n) (67) ______T-shirt than a person wearing a T-shirt printed with offensive words.Whether a person receives help depends in part on the “worth” of the case. For example, shoppers in a supermarket were more likely to give someone (68)______ to buy milk rather than to buy cookies, probably because milk is thought more essential for(69)______ than cookies.

Dropped off as a 3-year-old homeless dog near New Orleans, the dog stayed in the shelter for four months before being moved to Texas.While living at an adoption center in Texas, the dog was adopted out twice to different families. Sadly, neither of those adoptions were successful. It turned out Clementine didn’t get along with smaller pets, and she had too much energy for the second family.Meanwhile, Captain Robert Moree wanted to add a fire dog to the station. He’d just read a study about how dogs help firefighters deal with the pressure of their jobs, and he was eager to give the study a real life trial run! With the permission of the chief and other firefighters, he and a few colleagues visited the shelter. As soon as they met Clementine, they were smitten!“They introduced us to Clementine,” Captain Moree recalled. "She started to like us, and we liked her instantly. Later that day, my driver, Bryan Wallen, and I decided to get her. "Captain Moree officially adopted Clementine, but she definitely belonged to every person in the firehouse. She loved to hug the firefighters in between calls, and she was always nearby whenever anyone was preparing food. “She rides on the truck when we go out on calls” said Captain Moree. “She not only makes the station feel more like home during our 24-hour shifts but also keeps us excited to come to the station.”Clementine has made such an amazing journey from a homeless dog to a hero dog. She was named Dog of the Year at the 2022 ASPCA Humane Awards!71. Why did Clementine fail to stay in the second family?A. She was too active.B. She liked fire.C. She ate too much.D.

At the end of the tour, we will accompany you to the airport according to the flight schedule. Hope you enjoy travelling with us!75. What kind of people will most probably take part in this tour? People who ______.A. like to do shopping in ChinaB. eager to visit natural wondersC. are curious about Chinese cultureD. favor Chinese literature and arts76. According to the passage, the word “rickshaw” in Para.2 probably means ______.A. a large vehicle that is used to transport goodsB. a spacious motor vehicle with much room for passengersC. a luxurious vehicle with two wheel is driven by an engineD. a small vehicle pulled by human to carry one or two passengers77. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. The arrangement of a Hutong tour depends on the time.B. The locals often hold ceremonies in the Temple of Heaven.C. The Forbidden City is famous for its old-style folk yards.D. A tour of the inside of the Bird’s Nest is arranged on Day 2.(C)Every day, Lucy Dong and her best friend Amy Zhu wake at 7 a. m. - 7.10 a. m. If they are lucky-rush through their breakfast of steamed buns and noodles, and head off to what may be the best schooling system in the world.The 10-year-olds, who are natives of Shanghai. study in 35-minute bursts from around 8 a. m. to 4 p. m., with a small break for lunch-and a class meeting - sandwiched in the middle.Outside school hours, the girls’ lives are lots of extra-curricular activities: English class, flute class, drumming class, handwriting class, calligraphy class, Taekwondo training, modelling lessons and choir practice.Shanghai was crowned (加冕)-for the second time-the champion of the Programme for International Student Assesment (PISA., which compares the maths, reading and science skills of some 510,00 secondary school students around the world) . Some experts question the value of comparing cities and countries. Others point out that Shanghai’s relatively well-funded schools and well-paid teachers are not representative (代表) of the Chinese education system as a whole.Even so, the latest results are likely to see more and more educators flock east in search of the mega- city’s magic formula.Professor Kong Lingshuai of the College of Education at Shanghai Normal University has studied the city’s PISA successes. He says that the secret is a mix of “traditional elements and modern elements”. The former is related to the high expectations of “tiger” parents, and a belief in Chinese children from a young age that effort is crucial to gaining a good education. The “modern elements” include Shanghai’s willingness to constantly adapt its curriculum and teaching practices; its focus on improving under-achieving schools by pairing them with those that excel; its openness to foreign ideas; and the introduction of performance-related pay.An obsession with(痴迷于) training has also been the key, says Prof. Kong. As of last year, new teachers have to undergo a standardized, one-year training course before starting in the classroom. Once qualified, they are required to complete at least 240 hours’ training in their first five years, including online learning, paper reading. essay writing and so on. Teachers are also encouraged to attend each other’s classes to promote a culture of “idea sharing, exchanging and positive competition”.Outsiders often dismiss China’s educational system as a pressure-cooker-style craze of exams that places too much emphasis on rote-learning and does little to stimulate creativity. But in Shanghai at least, that may be starting to change. Authorities are attempting to move away from testing that relies too heavily on memorizing facts and figures, and some schools are also giving students more time to play, rather than just study.78. The author mentions Lucy Dong and Amy Zhu in the first 3 paragraphs to ______.A. praise the hard work of these two girlsB. give readers the whole picture of Chinese educationC. show what education in Shanghai looks likeD. criticize the burden the education brings on them79. Why do some experts challenge the result that Shanghai ranked 1 “in PISA test?”A. Because the value of PISA, which only tests 510,000 students globally, receives doubt.B. Because Shanghai has got more attention and resources from the central government.C. Because only maths, reading and science skills are compared in PISA test, which is not enough.D. Because Shanghai has a better system of financial support for schools as well as for teachers.80. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “dismiss” in the last paragraph?A. To give credit for something.B. To think about something differently.C. To think negatively of something.D. To claim the features of something81. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Strict parents contribute little to the academic success of their childrenB. Students have more free time to spend on their interest across ChinaC. Under-achieving schools are usually displaced by those academically competitive schools.D. Many education researchers are getting to Shanghai to study the phenomenon.Section C (2’*4=8)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. As a mother, she takes good care of us and gives us every comfort.B.

I never forget it and always bear it in my mind.My mother is a diligent and kind woman. She is very busy from morning till night. As a teacher, she works hard.

She goes to work early in the morning and does not return home until late in the afternoon. She loves her students and cares for them. She treats them with patience and teaches them well. For her excellent quality and very good teaching results, she has been elected as a model teacher several times.(83)______ Every day, when she comes back home from work, she sets about doing housework, sweeping the living room and bedrooms or cleaning the furniture, and putting everything in good order. She seems to be busy all the time. As she has been very busy working every day, she looks older than her age. But she looks as cheerful and happy as ever.

If you do not work, you will become lazy and be of no use to society". What a piece of good advice this is! (85)______ This advice of hers will always serve as a guide to my behavior.

No matter what event she attended, a list squad (小队)--which included famous people like Selena Gomez, Zen d and God Ha did -- would be right by her side.But now Swift wants fans to know that her friendships weren't as perfect as she tried to make people believe. In fact, she says she was using her friend group to hide her insecurity(不实全) of feeling “'uncool" and “unpopular". Swift says she went out of her way to show off her squad because she didn't have many friends when she was younger --a memory that still bothered her years later. “Never being popular as a kid was always an insecurity for me,” she says.When she became famous, Swift became obsessed (沉迷) with showing off her popularity. “In my twenties, l found myself surrounded by girls who wanted to be my friends." Swift explains. “So I celebrated my newfound acceptance into a sisterhood." But by constantly putting her friends on display, Swift failed to consider how bad her fans might feel about themselves because they didn’t have a squad like hers. “'I didn't realize that other people might still feel the way I did when I felt so alone," she says.As she became older and more confident in herself, Swift started focusing on the quality of her friends, not the quantity (数量). She says she finally understands that the size of her group doesn‘t mean how “cool" she is. To her, it's much more important to have a few friends who can be trusted rather than a large group of “fair-weather“ friends.While Swift still values her friends she has in her life, she no longer feels the pressure to show off them for the sake of impressing others. “For too long, the opinions of strangers affected how l viewed things, But now I learn not to let outside opinions affect my own life choices.”4. What made Swift show off her list squad?A. The popularity of her friends.B. Her childhood experience.C. The support of her fans.D. Her strong social influence.5. What does paragraph 4 intend to tell us?A. We should make real friends.B. It is important to trust our friendsC, Our friends can affect our behavior.D. There are many ways of making friends.6. What does the underlined word “sake” probably mean in the last paragraph?A. Request.B. Advice.C. Method.D. Purpose.7. From which is the text probably taken?A. A scientific report.C. A travel magazine.B. A social newspaper.D. A movie poster.CWe can learn to be happy but only get lasting benefits if we keep practicing, a new study has revealed.The team behind the University of Bristol's Science of Happiness course had already discovered that teaching students the latest scientific studies on happiness markedly improved their well-being. However, their latest study found that these well-being boosts are short-lived unless the evidence-informed habits learned in the course -- such as gratitude, exercise, or run -- are kept up over the long term.Senior author Professor Bruce Hood said, “It's like going to the gym - we can't expect to do one class and be fit forever, Just as with physical health, we have to continuously work on our mental health；otherwise, the improvements will be temporary.Launched in 2018, the University of Bristol's Science of Happiness course was the first of its kind in the Uk. It involves no exams or coursework and teaches students what the latest peer-reviewed studies in psychology and neuroscience say really makes us happy. Students who took the course reported a 10% to 15% improvement in well-being. However, only those who continued implementing the course learning maintained that improved well-being when they were surveyed again two years later.Professor Hood said, “This study shows that just doing a course is just the start, You must commit to using what you learn on a regular basis. Much of what we teach revolves around positive psychological interventions that take your attention from yourself by helping others being withfriends, or being grateful. This is the opposite of the current 'self-care’ doctrine (学说), but countless studies have shown that getting out of our own heads helps get us away from negative thoughts, which can be the basis of so many mental health problems.8.What does the study find about happiness?A. Happiness can be learned, but we have to work at it.B. Financial success does not produce lasting happiness.C. Happiness is the ability to make the most of what we have.D. Trying too hard to find happiness may have the opposite effect.9. What can we learn from Professor Hood's words?A. Leaming has got to be active and experiential.B. Mental health is as important as physical health.C, Maintaining happiness requires continuous effort.D, Exercise is the best way to keep a healthy lifestyle.10.What words can best describe the course?B. Pioneering and useful.A. Long and complex.D. Interesting and educational.C. Cheap and professional.11. How can we improve mental health according to the last paragraph?B. By focusing on ourselves.A. By interacting with others.D. By avoiding negative friendsC. By learning a new course.DIn the coming decade, space agencies and private space companies like SpaceX are planning to build a base on the Moon and Mars. While scientists are already building rockets for the journey, for long-term human settlements on them, astronauts will need fuel to carry out daily tasks. Many have suggested hydrogen (氢). But a group of scientists is working on turning CO2 in the atmosphere into jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface has a high concentration of CO2, it may be a feasible solution.For now the team of' scientists at the University of Oxford is focusing on making jet fuel for the aviation (航空) industry, As the aviation industry releases over 900 million tons of CO2 every year to battle climate change, it is necessary to tun the tide, So far aviation scientists have tried to use other energy resources like electricity to fly, But such flights are limited to short distances. For long-distance fights, there is no alternative yet,The concept of turning CO2 into jet fuel is not new, Previously, other similar methods had to rely on expensive catalysts (催化剂) like cobalt to speed up the chemical reaction. But what Oxfordscientists suggest is adding a cheap iron-based catalyst and hydrogen to turn CO2 into liquid fuel. As the process would not require using fossil fuel, it will make the industry carbon neutral (碳中和的)The scientists tested the new catalyst in a lab at 300'C and at 10 times the air pressure at sea level. The entire process took 20 hours and turned 38 percent of CO2 into new chemicals. About 48percent of the chemicals were jet fuel hydrocarbon and the rest were other by-products that are used in the production of plastic.Professor Peter Edwards, a lead scientist in the project, said the new method could be improved in two to three years to produce jet fuel in large quantities. “This is a really exciting, potentially revolutionary advance. Our vision is that the world can see that CO2 collected can be used as an energy carrier to enable sustainable aviation ”12. Which word can best explain “feasible” underlined in paragraph 1?A. Unique.B. Practical.C. Time-tested.D. Quick13. What problem does the aviation industry face?A. It is suffering from a serious fuel shortage.B. The traditional jet fuel is much too expensive,C. Climate change partly disturbs long-distance flights.D. Its alternative energy resources are not powerful enough.14. What do we know about the Oxford scientists’ method of fuel-making?A. It is green and cost-saving.B. It is complex and time-consumingC. It runs tests in natural environment.D. It starts with immediate chemical reaction.15. What's the purpose of the author?A. To attract people to explore the space.B. To inform us of a breakthrough in fuel research.C. To warn us the dangers of climate change.D. To encourage us to work in the aviation industry第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5 分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

高一上册英语期中试卷及答案
Teachers first noticed Cameron Thompson’s talent for numbers when he was four years old and at pre-school. Throughout primary school, Cameron Thompson’s best subject was maths. Then, when he was eleven, he took a maths test prior to entering secondary school. The test was out of 140; Cameron scored 141. “I broke the system,” he recalls.
But his academic achievements have not always been matched by social success. “I have the social ability of a talking potato,” he admits. In other words, he feels more at ease with numbers than among other teenagers.
Communication is not one of Cameron’s strong points and, apart from the problems this causes socially, it is now beginning to affect his marks in mathematics. This is because, at undergraduate level, he is expected to give reasons for his answers together with the answers themselves. Cameron’s difficulty is that he often doesn’t know how he has arrived at the answers, even though the answers are usually correct.

河南省实验中学2023-2024学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解There is a kind of woman in the world who has the ability to complete the difficult challenges of their own life and to inspire (激励) others to achieve great things. They’re strong and independent, wise and successful, talented and brave, and can teach all of us a lot.Still AliceIn this film, we can have a look at a family’s relationships, fears, worries and struggles. The film’s main character Alice, aged 50, fights bravely with Alzheimer’s disease: she’s the perfect example of an iron-willed woman.Julianne Moore’s amazing performance adds extra charm to this character.Erin BrockovichThe film is about Erin Brockovich, a strong yet easily-hurt woman, but ordinary weakness is not allowed in her situation. She may not be a genius, but her persistence (坚韧) and care about others allow her to achieve the impossible: a victory over a powerful and major company that is literally poisoning people.When you are about to give up on something, simply watch this movie for encouragement.The Devil Wears PradaAs an assistant to impossibly demanding New York fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly, young Andy Sachs has landed a job that “a million girls would die for.” Unluckily, her heaven-sent post as Miranda’s assistant just might be the death of her!There’s a very classic line in the film: Let me know when your whole life goes up in smoke. That means it’s time for a promotion (提拔).Mona Lisa SmileThis movie teaches you about dignity (尊严), courage and persistence, and the central theme is learning to have a mind of your own.Katherine Watson is a recent UCLA graduate hired to teach art history at the all-female Wellesley College, in 1953.

Born in Jamaica and then having moved to the United States, Kimeila grew up watching her entrepreneur (创业者) mother run an event space.“Seeing her go through ups and downs made me want to be an entrepreneur too,” said Kimeila, who sometimes helped her mom at Glitz Elite Events Studio. “I thought for my age, maybe I’m too young. My mom said it could help other kids and teen entrepreneurs instead of just making money for myself.”With this ambition(雄心), she started her own monthly magazine in January when she celebrated her 14th birthday. Her YNTY magazine --which stands for You’re Never Too Young --aims to inspire young and upcoming entrepreneurs, influencers and public figures(公众人物). It is to inspire people younger than 18 to follow their dreams whatever their age.“Nowadays, teenagers look up to rich women and men on social media and dream to be like them, without any idea of the price they had to pay to get to where they are now,” Kimeila said to the QSN website. “Consider your choices carefully and make goals for where you want to be in the future.”In the magazine, Kimeila shows hot topics, daily affirmations (每日警句) in business, aswell as suggestions from professionals and those who have made it in their industries. Meanwhile, the YNTY magazine also includes a special part in which necessary steps are given to parents of young entrepreneurs to help and guide their children. “One thing I’d like my readers to know is that ... if you believe you can do it, YNTY is where you can come to find a community of comfort and confidence to support your dreams.”Kimeila refused to wait until she’s older to make a difference in the world. In the next five years, the young girl wants to make the YNTY magazine “appear on newsstands around the world, in various languages, a famous name and the source ‘kidpreneurs (少年企业家)’ go to for advice and inspiration whenever they feel discouraged or at a loss,” the QNS website noted.4．What does the article tell us about Campell?A．She was born and raised in the US.B．Her mom inspired her to be an entrepreneur.C．Her motto is “You are never too young”.D．She wants to run her own events studio in the future.5．Why does Campell have the goal of starting her YNTY Magazine?A．To get to know more public figures.B．To earn herself money and fame.C．To inspire young entrepreneurs.D．To promote her mom’s event space.6．What can readers expect to read in YNTY Magazine?A．Popular fashion topicsB．Suggestions from teachers.C．Daily jokes about businessD．Tips for parents of young entrepreneurs7．Which of the following best describes Campell?A．Helpful and ambitious B．Organized and modestC．Creative and careful D．Brave and emotional.Once upon a time, researchers dreamed of building a robot storyteller. It would not only entertain (娱乐) young children, but also help them learn well. This dream has come true. The robot is called Tega. It is cute and appears to be useful in increasing young children’slanguage skills. Developed by a team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Tega sounds like a child, makes its body and face full of life while storytelling and explains the tales on a screen with pictures.In an eight-week experiment, Tega read picture books to 67 children aged from 4 to 6 in weekly meetings lasting an hour. During the meetings, Tega asked questions to have knowledge of the listeners’ language skills, tested them on a word’s meaning or asked them to describe a character. For example, Tega asked, “What do you think will happen to the boy?” Tega also recorded the facial expressions and body positions of the children to see how interested they were. For example, keeping the body forward was considered a good sign. After the book was finished, the children retold the story to Tega in their own words.One group of kids played with a personalized version (版本) of the robot, which improved each time it interacted with the kids, learning about their language skills from the conversations they had. For this group, Tega chose which book to read based on what it thought would be most suitable for the children’s language level. Every second time, Tega would replace (替换) several words in the story for these children with more difficult words with similar meanings, such as “clamour” in place of “noise”.A second group interacted with a non-personalized Tega that remembered the children each week, but chose stories to read at random (随机的) from its library of 81 picture books. For this group, the story difficulty increased every two weeks. A third group of kids didn’t interact with Tega at all.Several weeks after the last meeting, the team found that all the children who played with Tega had increased their vocabularies (词汇), but the personalized group learned the most words. Their error rate on a vocabulary test dropped by 23 percent, almost double that of the non-personalized group. The stories that the children told back to the personalized robot were also longer and more wonderful, says team member Hae Won Park.8．What do we know about Tega?A．It has a voice of an adult.B．It is connected to the Internet.C．It can tell stories in a lively way.D．It is mainly designed to entertain kids.9．Why did Tega ask questions during the meetings?A．To keep the kids interested.B．To help kids better understand a story.C．To know about the kids’ language skills.D．To encourage the kids to think independently.10．What do the results of the experiment show?A．Children enjoy telling back stories to Tega.B．Young kids really love interacting with others.C．The robot needs to be improved to work better.D．The personalized version of the robot helps kids most.11．What is the text mainly about?A．A new invention for kids.B．A personalized teaching method.C．A new way to increase kids’ vocabularies.D．A study carried out by researchers recently.While riding hard on a bike, do you feel like you are saving the planet? Or do you just feel out of breath? In fact, cycling is now considered one of the best weapons mankind can use in the fight against climate change.The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution (决议) in March supporting bicycles as a tool for dealing with climate change. The resolution calls on member states to “add the bicycle to public transportation, in the city and countryside, in developing and developed countries”, with all 193 members of the UN agreeing upon the resolution.The decision has received positive comments from different groups in support of cycling and the environmental awareness internationally. “It’s an important step toward the recognition of cycling as an important means of transport,” said the European Cyclists Federation.The resolution from the UN comes at a time when climate change has returned to the center of the world’s attention. On February 28, the UN published a new report assessing (评估) recent climate change trends (趋势). The report warns that the world’s average temperature will rise by 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels (1850-1900), with more than 40% of the world’s population being “easily affected” to these temperature changes.Cycling is an environmentally friendly means of transport. Choosing to take a bike instead of a car just once a day can reduce a person’s carbon emission (碳排放) fromtransport by 67 percent, according to a research by the University of Oxford. The research also found that cyclists produced 84 percent lower CO 2 emissions from all daily travel than non-cyclists.Cycling has grown in popularity as people who take public transport to work wish to stay away from crowded public transport and also like taking any opportunity to exercise. Cycling culture has been further encouraged with the influence of COVID-19. In May 2020, bike sales in Spain increased 22 times compared with 2019. In London, large parts of the city are being closed off to cars so that people can walk and cycle safely.More importantly, the resolution focuses on bike-sharing services, which could be seen as recognition of China’s bike-sharing success, noted CGTN. China has some of the largest bike-sharing systems in the world. This means of transport that produces zero emissions reduces the amount of CO2 sent out into the atmosphere (大气层) by 4.8 million tons every year, according to a 2020 report from the World Resources Institute.12．What is the resolution aimed at?A．Winning all member states’ support.B．Making bicycles part of public transport.C．Dealing with the problem of climate change.D．Making people healthier and more athletic.13．What leads to the popularity of the resolution according to the text?A．The whole world’s attention on climate change.B．Cycling is encouraged in numerous countries.C．China’s success in Bike-sharing systems.D．More people wish to exercise more.14．Why is cycling considered the best weapon against climate change?A．It get people to exercise and stay healthy.B．It can largely reduce our carbon footprint.C．It can reduce the influence of the COVID-19.D．It helps us stay away from crowded public transport.15．What would be the best title for the text?A．Cycling to improve health B．Cycling to a climate solutionC．Why is cycling so important D．A new resolution by the UN二、七选五Can you recognize the moment when you realize you’ve mastered a foreign language? It’s not when you get a perfect grade on a grammar test. It’s when you start thinking in that language! 16 . Here are some tips that will help you achieve the goal.Stop the Translating HabitDon’t try to say something after thinking of a sentence word by word in your own language, and then translating it into foreign words. It’s of little use because the logical(合乎逻辑的) flow of words in your mother tongue won’t sound well in a foreign language. When you’re thinking of something to say, start with the main parts of the sentence: the subject and the verb. 17 .Learn Words in PairsIt’s easier to learn the words when you add them into context(语境), and you connect them with one another. If, for example, you’re learning the word morning in a foreign language, you should also look up for words that go with it, such as good or early. You should also pair it with the opposites and check out some words that have similar meaning.18 .Pay Attention to GrammarV ocabulary is very important when you’re learning a foreign language, but that doesn’t mean you should forget all about the grammar rules. You can’t start thinking in a non-native(非母语的) language if you haven’t mastered its grammar basics. Make sure to put the rules you learn into practice every single day, and keep track of your progress.Practice WritingA writing practice will help you keep track of your progress, but it will also help you remember the things you’ve learned. 19 . Make sure you use proper grammar. This practice will not only make you a more confident speaker, but it will also help you start thinking in a foreign language.Practice Speaking and ListeningThat’s the final tip that leads you to perfection. Turn speaking and listening into a daily activity. You can listen to audiobooks(有声读物) in the foreign language, and then talk to someone about the impressions. If you don’t have anyone to talk to, just get in an empty room, record your speech and listen to it. 20 .A．You’ll surely recognize the signs of progress.B．That’s the best way to build up a huge vocabulary.C．You will find yourself better at understanding them.D．Try to notice and correct the mistakes in your writing.E．Then, it will be easy for you to build your sentence upon that.F．Remembering good sentences will go a long way towards writing a good article.G．And it takes hard work for your inner thoughts to start flowing in a language that’s not native.三、完形填空Andrew McLindon was a businessman and crazy cyclist.

Without such problems, animals in zoos should live to a ripe old age. But that may not be true for the largest land animals on earth. Scientists have known that elephants in zoos often suffer from poor health. They develop diseases, joint problems and behavior changes. Sometimes, they even become infertile.To learn more about how captivity affects elephants, a team of international scientists compared the life spans of female elephants born in zoos with those living outdoors in their native habitats. Zoos keep detailed records of all the animals in their care, documenting factors such as birth dates, illnesses, weight and death. These records made it possible for the researchers to analyze 40 years of data on 800 African and Asian elephants in zoos across Europe, North America and Asia.The scientists found that female elephants born in zoos lived an average of 16.9years. Their wild counterparts who died of natural causes lived an average of 56 years - more than three times as long.Scientists don't yet know why wild elephants seem to fare so much better than their zoo - raised counterparts. Georgia Mason, a biologist at the University of Guelph in Canada who led the study, thinks that stress and obesity may be to blame. Zoo elephants don't get the same kind of exercise they would in the wild, and most are fed a diet of corn instead of their natural vegetation.Another finding from the study showed that Asian elephants born in zoos were more likely to die early than African elephants born in zoos. Mason suggests that different species may react differently to the stress of captivity.1. What does the underlined word "ripe" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Smooth.B. Mature.C. Disease - free.D. Early.2. What do the scientists find in their study?A. Female elephants live longer than male elephants.B. Zoo - raised elephants live as long as their wild counterparts.C. Female elephants born in zoos have a shorter life span.D. Elephants are less healthy in zoos due to lack of exercise.3. What are the possible reasons for the zoo - raised elephants' poor healthaccording to Mason?A. Stress and obesity.B. Eating too much corn.C. Lack of exercise and different species.D. All of the above.4. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Elephants in ZoosB. Health of Zoo - raised ElephantsC. Comparison between Zoo - raised and Wild ElephantsD. Longer Life for Wild ElephantsIf you are a high school student, you may be under a lot of stress. Here are some tips to help you manage your stress.First, make a schedule.
