I’m Talita and this is my blog! Enjoy! Day 1: August 15th Wow! I can’t believe I’m actually here on Nautilus. I’m one of five very lucky students chosen to go on Nautilus’s four-day expedition (探险) to the Cayman Islands. We had a talk from the expedition leader Dr. Katy Croff Bell, about where we’re going and what we’ll be doing. Oh, and all the safety rules as well, of course! Day 2: August 16th What an amazing day! In the morning, we met Dr. Robert Ballard, who discovered the wreck (残骸) of the Titanic! After lunch, we had a tour around Nautilus. We looked at the labs, and we went up to the bridge — that’s where the captain of the ship works. I even got a chance to guide the ship! Later we learned about Hercules. This robot is sent deep into the sea to look for shipwrecks, to study the plants and animals, and to look at the rocks in an area. Day 3: August 17th This morning we appeared on the Nautilus Live website and talked to students around the world about our expedition. It was amazing — I feel like a real famous person now! The afternoon was NOT cool, however. There was a big storm, and we all felt very seasick! Day 4: August 18th This morning was beautiful, and the sea was peaceful. Perfect for a dive. Unfortunately, it was Hercules, not us, who got to go diving. In the afternoon, we arrived at Grand Cayman. Although I’m sad to leave the Nautilus team (especially Hercules), I’m excited to explore the islands and the waters! 1. How did Talita feel about taking part in Nautilus’s expedition to the Cayman Islands? A. Surprised. B. Excited. C. Worried. D. Doubtful. 2. What is the robot Hercules used for? A. Giving diving shows. B. Exploring the deep sea. C. Helping with lab work. D. Guiding tourists around the islands. 3. What did Talita do on Day 3? A. She learned about the history of the Titanic. B. She attended a speech from the expedition leader. C. She shared her expedition with students worldwide. D. She visited the place where the captain of Nautilus works. B I recently read Pablo Picasso’s quote, “I’m always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.” It reminded me of myself — and how I do, learn, and improve. I recalled one of my earliest memories of doing before learning: baking scones (烤饼) when I was 10 years old. I wanted to bake scones for my mom. I always sat at the kitchen table when my mom baked, and I had observed her process numerous times. She always used a recipe book and followed the process carefully. As I started to try, I didn’t know I shouldn’t handle the dough (面团) with my hands too much once I had added the baking powder (发酵粉). However, I knew exactly how to roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter to cut the scones, because I had repeated it in my mind hundreds of times. As my mom arrived home, the smell of freshly baked scones welcomed her into the kitchen. They were baked to golden brown perfection — flat, as a result of over-handling the dough, but they tasted OK. My mom praised me for my attempt, rather than blaming me for the state of the kitchen, which was a surprise! That night she told my dad how proud she was, and what a good job I’d done. Over time, she taught me the finer tricks of baking and cooking. My habit of doing before learning still stands me in good stead. Whatever computer program or application I have to learn, I do so by simply starting to use it. I learn as I go on, and I’ve often been able to help others because I’ve gone through the process of learning from beginning to end. What I discovered from my experience is the wisdom to know when it’s OK to do and then learn, and when it’s probably better to learn and then do! 4. How did the author learn to bake at first? A. She taught herself. B. She watched the cooking videos. C. She learned it from the recipe book. D. She followed her mother’s instructions. 5 How did the author’s mother feel about her baking? A. Concerned. B. Regretful. C. Grateful. D. Pleased. 6. What can be learned about the author from the last paragraph? A. She was skilled at programming. B. She benefited a lot from her habit. C. She recommended her habit to others. D. She had good arrangements for her time. 7. What’s the best title for this text? A My favorite quotes B. Do. Learn. Improve C. Apply theories to practice D. My attempt at baking scones C Music is all around us. It’s an accessible and popular art form which accompanies our daily lives. Advertisers have long understood the popularity and emotional power of music and capitalized on it. They spend much time and money securing the right soundtrack (配乐) for an advertisement in order to boost sales. For example, Microsoft spent a reported US$3 million using Start Me Up as part of their advertising campaign for Windows 95. As one researcher puts it, “Music expands pictures and colors words, and often adds a form of energy available through no other source.” This is supported by other studies, which suggest that music matching the main message of an advertisement has a positive effect on consumer engagement. This is known as “musical congruity” and can result in better attention, a positive emotional response, finally improving the effectiveness of an advertisement. Take the simple but interesting advertisement for Air France, with the soundtrack of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.23, for example. It projects greatness and elegance in the hope that viewers will associate those qualities with the airline. The research, which looked at hundreds of viewer comments about the music used in advertising, suggested it was successful. Music is also effective at arousing (唤醒) emotional memories in advertisements creates associations with consumers’ past experiences. A good choice of music allows businesses to tap into this nostalgia for commercial benefit. However, the use of popular music in advertising can also arouse arguments between artistic effort and commercialism. Some people believe a work of art shouldn’t be used for the pursuit of profit. The findings of study showed that consumers sometimes passionately oppose the use of music produced by respected musicians in advertisements, as they believe that it destroys the aesthetic integrity (美学完整性). For example, Nike’s use of the Beatles’ song Revolution was seen by some as using John Lennon’s music to sell shoes. It made some Nike wearers so angry that they refused to buy the products. 8. What does the underlined phrase “capitalized on” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Taken advantage of. B. Held on to. C. Checked up on. D. Cried out for. 9. What can we know about “musical congruity” according to the text? A. It helps cut down the cost of advertising. B. It reminds consumers of their past experiences. C. It makes advertisements much more convincing. D. It explores the relationship between music and digital art. 10. Which word can best describe the author’s attitude to the use of music in advertising? A Tolerant B. Unclear C. Doubtful D. Objective 第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。 With the rapid development of science and technology, we don’t know how different our life will be in the future. ___11___.

Later when I was getting older, on my way to school, there was an instrument shop that I passed by almost every day. When I saw through the window, in the corner of the shop stood a nice piano which would always attract my eyes so deeply that I even forgot everything around me. To my sadness my family was truly struggling. In that period, my mother was laid off from her position and my father was only a clerk in a company. It was just a matter of getting by on a low income, not to mention buying me an expensive piano though they knew I was eager to play that piano so much. The increasing wrinkles in my father’s face even stopped me from having this thought. Then one day after school, I went as usual to the shop window to look at the piano. However, the piano had gone! It was a big surprise. Someone had purchased the piano that I would stare at almost every day! I should not have been surprised as others had the right to buy it, if they could afford to. However, at the thought of not being able to see that piano any more, tears filled my eyes. Disappointed and helpless, I wandered aimlessly up and down the street. I felt as though something had been stolen in my heart. After what seemed a year, I returned home, dragging my heavy legs. Hardly had I just gone into the house when my mother called my name. Brushing away my tears, I followed the sound of her voice into the dining-room. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I couldn’t imagine what was happening in front of me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then the door opened and my father appeared, with a big smile on his wrinkled face. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023—2024学年度第二学期期中考试 高一英语 本卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。共8页,满分共130分。考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答卷前,考生务必将自己的姓名、就读学校等用黑色钢笔或签字笔写在答题卡上。 2.选择题部分全部使用铅笔涂答，非选择题部分全部使用黑色钢笔或签字笔答题，不按要求不给分。选择题部分每小题选出答案后,用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动,用橡皮擦干净后,再选涂其它答案标号。不能答在试卷上。 3.考试结束后,监考员只收答题卡。 一、阅读(共两节，满分35分) 第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分，满分25分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A The Nautilus expedition to the Cayman Islands Hi!

For example, Microsoft spent a reported US$3 million using Start Me Up as part of their advertising campaign for Windows 95.(为了提高销量，他们花费大量时间和金钱来为广告寻找合适的配乐。例如，据报道，微软花费 300 万美元使用Start Me Up作为其 Windows 95 广告活动的一部分。)”可知，广告商了解了音乐的流行度和情感力量，并利用了音乐来提高销量。由此可推知，capitalized on意为“利用”，与A项“Taken advantage of.(利用)”意思一样，故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“This is supported by other studies, which suggest that music matching the main message of an advertisement has a positive effect on consumer engagement. This is known as “musical congruity” and can result in better attention, a positive emotional response, finally improving the effectiveness of an advertisement.(其他研究也支持这一观点，这些研究表明，与广告主旨相匹配的音乐对消费者的参与度有积极影响。这被称为“音乐和谐”，可以提高注意力，产生积极的情绪反应，最终提高广告的效果)”可知，“音乐和谐”可以让消费者提高注意力，产生积极的情绪反应，最终提高广告的效果，由此可推知，“音乐和谐”使广告更加有说服力。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“This is supported by other studies, which suggest that music matching the main message of an advertisement has a positive effect on consumer engagement. This is known as “musical congruity” and can result in better attention, a positive emotional response, finally improving the effectiveness of an advertisement.(其他研究也支持这一观点，这些研究表明，与广告主旨相匹配的音乐对消费者的参与度有积极影响。这被称为“音乐和谐”，可以提高注意力，产生积极的情绪反应，最终提高广告的效果)”，倒数第二段中“Music is also effective at arousing (唤醒) emotional memories in advertisements creates associations with consumers’ past experiences(音乐也能有效地唤起广告中的情感记忆，使消费者联想到过去的经历)”和最后一段中“However, the use of popular music in advertising can also arouse arguments between artistic effort and commercialism. (然而，流行音乐在广告中的运用也会引起艺术性与商业性之间的争论。)”可知，作者既描述了在广告中使用音乐的好处，也描述了其缺点，由此可推知，作者对在广告中使用音乐持有客观态度，故选D。 第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。 With the rapid development of science and technology, we don’t know how different our life will be in the future. ___11___.

Later when I was getting older, on my way to school, there was an instrument shop that I passed by almost every day. When I saw through the window, in the corner of the shop stood a nice piano which would always attract my eyes so deeply that I even forgot everything around me. To my sadness my family was truly struggling. In that period, my mother was laid off from her position and my father was only a clerk in a company. It was just a matter of getting by on a low income, not to mention buying me an expensive piano though they knew I was eager to play that piano so much. The increasing wrinkles in my father’s face even stopped me from having this thought. Then one day after school, I went as usual to the shop window to look at the piano. However, the piano had gone! It was a big surprise. Someone had purchased the piano that I would stare at almost every day! I should not have been surprised as others had the right to buy it, if they could afford to. However, at the thought of not being able to see that piano any more, tears filled my eyes. Disappointed and helpless, I wandered aimlessly up and down the street. I felt as though something had been stolen in my heart. After what seemed a year, I returned home, dragging my heavy legs. Hardly had I just gone into the house when my mother called my name. Brushing away my tears, I followed the sound of her voice into the dining-room. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I couldn’t imagine what was happening in front of me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then the door opened and my father appeared, with a big smile on his wrinkled face. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： I couldn’t imagine what was happening in front of me. Standing there in the room was the very piano I had been longing for day and night. With excitement and surprise in my heart, I couldn’t stop tears streaming down my face. My mother came over to me, saying they knew the piano was what I had dreamed about and my father had tried everything possible to make my dream come true. I was about to say something when there was a sound of footsteps. Then the door opened and my father appeared, with a big smile on his wrinkled face. I gave him a big hug. “It’s so nice of you, Dad!” I said. I could not imagine how much effort he had made and how hard he was working every day. Maybe only the wrinkles on his face could tell me everything. My father kissed me on the forehead, whispering that he had earned enough to buy the piano at last. Only then did I realize that no gift could measure up to a father’s love. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者很小的时候，就对音乐着迷，梦想有一架钢琴。每天放学时都会经过一家钢琴店，看着里面的钢琴很是渴望。一天，作者发现钢琴店里的钢琴不见了，很是难过，认为一定是被人买走了。但是，回到家后，作者意外地发现那架钢琴居然摆设在自己的家里，后来，作者知道原来是父亲辛苦地挣钱买给作者当作礼物的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我无法想象在我面前发生了什么。”可知，第一段可描写作者进入房间后，看到眼前情景的经过。。 ②由第二段首句内容“这时门开了，我父亲走了出来，布满皱纹的脸上挂着灿烂的笑容。”可知，第二段可描写作者对于父亲买钢琴的感激以及作者的感受。。 2.续写线索：进入房间——看到钢琴——内心的兴奋和惊喜——父亲进来了——看到父亲后的感激——作者的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①过来：came over /come up/come here ②.意识到：realize /be aware of ③.阻止：stop /prevent /hold back 情绪类 ①.渴望：longing for /desire/eager to ②.兴奋：excitement / stimulation 【点睛】[高分句型1].
