Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge No bridge is as long as the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge in the world. The 164.8-kilometre-long bridge built in 2011 in China serves as part of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. The trip from Ningbo to Jiaxing that previously took 4.5 hours has been reduced to two, thanks to this bridge. Rio-Niterói Bridge Completed in 1974, the Rio-Niterói Bridge in Brazil is the second-longest bridge in all of Latin America connecting the cities of Rio and Niterói across the Guanabara Bay. The Rio-Niterói Bridge is technically known as a “box-girder (箱形梁)” bridge, made of special concrete. It receives an astonishing 140,000 (or more) vehicles per day. Hartland Covered Bridge The Hartland Covered Bridge is the world’s longest covered bridge. The 1,282-foot-long bridge was opened in 1901 and has been on Canada’s list of National Historic Sites since 1980. Although it was originally built without a roof, the bridge was capped with wooden materials during the repairs in 1921. Jiaozhou Bay Bridge The newly-built Jiaozhou Bay Bridge in China was named “world’s longest bridge over water” by Guinness Book of World Records in 2011, a title previously held by the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. The dispute was settled when the title of “longest continuous bridge over water” was given to the causeway, with the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge receiving the title of “longest bridge over water”. 21. On which of the following can trains pass? A. Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge. B. Rio-Niterói Bridge. C. Hartland Covered Bridge. D. Jiaozhou Bay Bridge. 22. What is special about the Hartland Covered Bridge? A. It is a busy bridge. B. It was built in 1980. C. It has a roof. D. It is a wooden bridge. 23. Where can you find the longest bridge over water? A. In America. B. In Brazil. C. In Canada. D. In China. B The Chat GPT AI, developed by the company Open AI, attracted 100 million users less than two months after first going public on 30 November 2022. Schools in the US and elsewhere are soon announcing bans on the recently released AI-powered chatbot out of fear that students could use the technology to complete their assignments. However, bans may be practically impossible given how difficult it is to detect when text is composed by Chat GPT. Is it instead time to rethink how students are taught and evaluated? “Educators are starting to question what it means to assess student learning if an AI can write an essay or paper similar to or even better than a student would — and the teacher can’t tell the difference”, says Torrey Trust at the University of Massachusetts. Removing technology from the classroom can mean undesirable consequences, such as creating more obstacles for students with disabilities, says Trust. Additionally, restricting access to Chat GPT on school networks and devices can’t stop students from using it at home and in libraries. Instead of worrying about how Chat GPT could enable cheating, educators should ask what motivates students to cheat in the first place and work on developing relationships of trust, says Jesse Stommel at the University of Denver. Aakash Chowkase at the University of California has explored using the AI to help with time-consuming tasks, such as creating lesson plans, writing letters of recommendation and developing and grading assignments. “Our ultimate goal is to help learners,” says Chowkase. Similarly, Trust has publicly shared slides intended to help teachers understand some of the promises and pitfalls of using Chat GPT in education. “I just wish educators could see that AI writing tools are going to be part of our future — and a big part of students’ future careers,” says Trust. 24. What can be learned about Chat GPT from paragraph 1? A. The use of Chat GPT has been widely banned worldwide. B. The current teaching method is outdated because of Chat GPT. C. Students benefit a lot from the assistance of Chat GPT. D. The popularity of Chat GPT is beyond expectation. 25. What causes American schools to ban the use of Chat GPT? A. The improper use of the technology. B. The difficulty of applying AI to school teaching. C. The lack of support of the company Open AI. D. The excellent writing ability of Chat GPT. 26. What may be the consequences of removing the technology from the classroom? A. It may bring about difficulties to some students. B. It is hard for the school networks to get access to Chat GPT. C. It will increase the chance of students cheating in their study. D. It can reduce the students’ use of Chat GPT both at home and school. 27. What might Torrey Trust agree with according to the passage? A. Chat GPT should be applied to save time. B. Chat GPT might be unavoidable in students’ future. C. Educators should emphasize developing relationships of trust. D. Educators need to question the meaning of academic assessment. C Kenya’s wildlife officials have made a free mobile phone app, Makenya, to help track wild animals in the country. Kenya is home to nearly 400 species of mammals. Officials say it is getting more difficult to protect them, as climate change and human activities damage their natural environment. The app lets any user who sees a wild mammal identify it and give its location. Uses can also give other details. “You can also add the behavior. When you see this animal what are they doing? Are they resting? Are they running away? Are they feeding? What are they doing at the moment you see them? said Dr. Simon Musil, a wildlife researcher. According to Musila, there is a need to have many people use the app to get more information about the animals. This can help the small number of mammal specialist in Kenya. The specialists have kept records of the animals’ changing environments and survival conditions. Many people, including safari guides, visitors, student or anyone who goes out and sees the animals could also use the app. They can upload images and add details, such as the number of mammals and their exact locations. Samson Onyuok, one of the app users, said he is proud to help protect animals in his country. As a Kenyan, that is his little way of contributing to the conservation initiatives. Users like him have reported more than 2500 mammal sightings since August. Experts say that while Africa is not the cause of much climate change, it is badly affected by it. Dr. Philip Muruthi, director of the African Wildlife Foundation, said that the birth rate of rare mammals (哺乳动物) and the survival rate of young ones are dropping. “It is very hard to benefit or manage what you don’t know,” he said. “That is why this is so important. It is going to tell us which species we have, where they are, and maybe which ones are highly endangered, what we need to do about them. And especially not just the big things but also the small things, like the bats.” 28. What are users of Makenya advised to do? A. Upload the detail of the spotted animals. B. Feed the hungry animals in the wild. C. Keep the running animals insight. D. Take a picture with the spotted animals. 29. Which of the following can best describe Samson Onyuok? A. Hardworking. B. Responsible. C. Careful. D. Patient. 30. Why does Dr. Philip Muruthi consider the app significant? A. It is developed by Kenyan officials. B. It costs just a little for Kenyan users. C. It is internationally supported. D It presents overall cases of animal in Kenya. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. Endangered animals in Kenya. B. Research on animals tracking. C. Hi-tech for animal protection. D. Popular apps to admire wild animals. D The horse-face skirt, or mamianqun in Chinese, is receiving renewed attention on the fashion stage. Far from being photoshoot prop, wearing the horse-face skirt has become almost trend among many Chinese celebrities and influencers for various international social occasions. On Douyin, China’s TikTok, individuals who sport the horse-face skirt on city streets in Paris and other international cities can easily gain millions of likes. A popular blogger on Xiaohongshu appeared on a British television program to discuss the development of the English Premier League in China while wearing a horse-face skirt. From its first appearance during the Song Dynasty to becoming a standout representation of Chinese clothing, mamianqun has crossed nearly a millennium of history. In the current trend of traditional Chinese clothing reconstruction, how has the horse-face skirt stood out to become the most famous clothing? Mao Zhaoxi, who is a hanfu enthusiast, told the Global Times that Hanfu is the external demonstration of culture, integrating the life philosophies, values, and aesthetic (美学) views formed and inherited (继承) by the Chinese people generation after generation. She said, “Many young people believe that the horse-face skirt is not just a fashion item, but also a cultural symbol. This shows the awakening of traditional aesthetic genes among the younger generations, indicating that the confidence in our own culture is constantly increasing.” Moreover, Hu Xiao, one of the founders of the ancient Chinese costumes restoration team, analyzed one main reason of this phenomenon lies in the fact that the horse-face skirt has managed to remain relevant, never falling out of fashion. “Many people thought the horse-face skirt had disappeared for a while, but in fact, Chinese brides can always be seen in the costume of mamianqun.” The horse-face skirt possesses a strong sense of inheritance while also possessing fashionable features. This perhaps is the cultural DNA that enables it to become a fashion item. The momentum (潮流) of Chinese-style clothing has begun, and how to lead the trend of Chinese-style clothing through design and how to stay at the forefront of the national trend is an issue that will not disappear in a short time. 32. What does the underlined word “sport” mean in paragraph 2? A. Compete. B. Display. C. Exercise. D. Decorate. 33. What can be learned from the text? A. Horse-face skirts are Chinese clothing with a long history. B. Horse-face skirts had become fashionable in Song Dynasty. C. Horse-face skirts have been the main clothing for a millennium. D. Horse-face skirts are leading the clothing design around the world. 34. Which of the following best describes the impact of the horse-face skirt? A. It develops everyone’s aesthetic and philosophy view. B. It represents the ancient Chinese costumes and life. C. It wakens the young to love their own traditional culture. D. It demonstrates the importance of Chinese-style clothing. 35. How does the author consider the future development of Chinese-style clothing? A. Good beginning and it will lead the world fashion. B. Good beginning and it will fall into the disfavors. C. Good beginning and it will own fashionable DNA. D. Good beginning and it will have a long way to go. 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，共12. 5分） Have you ever felt the need to be alone for a while? I don’t mean situations when you should be alone, but occasions where you are with a group of people at a party or a restaurant. You get tired of jumping from conversation to conversation, and your mind starts to wander towards that interesting book you left halfway done, or that movie you have been meaning to watch. ___36___ Now before you rush to defense, please understand that being an introvert (内向的人)is completely normal.

Of course, sometimes introverts might be as capable of talking with people as extroverts, but sometimes they have to force themselves to engage with others in order to “fit in”. While extroverts feel comfortable shaking hands and making jokes, introverts get increasingly exhausted. ___39___ For the introverted, to continue in this awkward situation could really end up bringing them harm, with individuals reporting to suffer from loss of sleep, panic attacks and depression. ___40___ They form deep thoughts, conduct themselves carefully, and pay significant attention to detail.

I didn’t always talk to my mom about my feelings because she was busy tending our farm. I talked to my sister, Alana, and I talked to Sister Belle — that’s what we called our cow. She was definitely part of my family, and we loved her very much. Later on, as we needed to move, we had to sell our farm and all the animals, including Sister Belle. We wanted her to go to someone who would love her like we did, and we thought it was an answer to our hope when a man called. He told he could only pay 300 dollars, but that he had lots of pasture (牧场) and a large barn (畜棚). That afternoon, we went to his place. It looked really nice, and we were happy that we had found the right home for Sister Belle. The next day we delivered Sister Belle to her new owner. I could feel tears stinging my eyes, but I convinced myself that Sister Belle would be better off in her new home. A week later, while we were having our moving sale, a neighbor came up telling us she had seen our cow before the cow went to auction (拍卖会). My mom couldn’t believe it and asked who was sell ng the cow. When knowing who it was, I felt sick. We had trusted him, and just a week later he was selling Sister Belle away to make a profit! We drove to his house. When he answered the door, mom told him what the neighbor had said and he shut the door right in our faces. Alana was crying, and my mom was begging him to sell Sister Belle back to us. But he wouldn’t open the door. Back home, my mother started calling a lot of auctions and finally found one that had a record of our cow, and told us the cow would be auctioned off the next morning. 注意： 1.续写词数应150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day we arrived at the auction early. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Therefore, we decided to join in the auction. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 信阳高中北湖校区2026届高一年级下期7月月考 英语试题 注意事项： 1. 答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息 2. 请将答案正确填写在答题卡上 一、单词汉译英、英译汉（共20小题；每小题1. 5分，共30分） 【1~10题答案】 【答案】1. promotion 2. collapse 3. contribute 4. intensity 5. distraction 6. minimum 7. influential 8. appreciate 9. employee 10. persistent 【11~20题答案】 【答案】11. 坚定的；尽心尽力的；坚信的 12. 大笔的钱，巨款；机会，运气 13. 把……奉献给；专心致力于；把……用于 14. 起激励作用的；激发（人）的 15. 说服，劝说；使确信，使相信，使信服 16. 基本部分，要素，典型部分；少量，有点；一组，一群 17. 牺牲，舍弃；祭品，祭祀，献祭 18. 先进的；高级的，高等的；晚期的，后期的 19. 痛苦地，愤恨地；伤心地；极其，非常 20. 收入；收益；所得 二、阅读理解（共两节，共20小题，每小题2. 5分，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2. 5分，共37. 5分） A 【21~23题答案】 【答案】21.

Here are some ways we can adopt to improve ourselves. Firstly, reading never fails to be a good way to broaden our horizons and strengthen our ability to solve problems. Secondly, learning from our friends is another way to better ourselves. What’s more, constant self-reflection plays an important role in helping us spot our shortcomings and correct them in time to make progress. Last but not least, we are supposed to concentrate more on our study and master better learning methods to make up for our weak subjects. Hopefully, we can be better than we have ever been. 读后续写（满分25分） 【67题答案】 【答案】The next day we arrived at the auction early. The auction was packed with people and their cows, but we immediately recognized Sister Bella. Sister Bella stayed with the present owner, who claimed to have many pastures and a large barn. We came to him again and begged him to return Sister Bella to us, for which we offered to pay him. But he refused and told us that if we wanted Sister Bella back, we would have to enter the auction because he would only sell Sister Bella to the highest bidder. Therefore, we decided to join in the auction. Soon, the auction began, and buyers competed to bid for their favorite cows. Some were satisfied, while others were disappointed. Soon it was Sister Bella and her owner's turn. We were nervous that Sister Bella would be bought by someone else. The auction process was intense, but thankfully we ended up with Sister Bella for $350, which was all we could afford. We decided to stay with Sister Bella forever, never to be separated. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
