You cannot miss these tales of surviving in the wild. Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome A tale of a joyful childhood summer spent sailing in the Lake District of England, this novel is based on Ransome’s own family. Two groups of children each have their own sailboat, and spend the summer defending against an imagined enemy, camping, fishing, and exploring, while trying to catch their enemy’s boat. The Swiss Family Robinson by Johann David Wyss Inspired by Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, Wyss decided to write a story about how a Swiss family survived a ship accident and made a new way of life on an unexplored island in the East Indies so that his four sons could learn about basic family values, the use of the natural world and self-reliance. Morals aside, it’s a great thrilling story. A Girl of the Limberlost by Gene Stratton-porter Poor, unpopular Elnora Comstock grows up in the dangerous but beautiful wetlands of northern Indiana, building an unusual life. She loves wildlife more than anything. The book was written as a protest against logging (伐木), drilling for oil (钻井油) and drying up rivers for agriculture that were taking place in the Limberlost Swamp. Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O’Dell The main character, Karana, is a woman left on what’s now called La Isla de San Nicolas, just off the coast of California. She struggles in the strange conditions, experiences natural disasters and lives alone on the lonely island. Her story is inspired by that of a real woman who spent 18 years alone on the island. 1. What did Wyss write The Swiss Family Robinson for? A. Showing the basic values. B. Teaching his own children something important. C. Recording a ship accident. D. Honoring Daniel Defoe. 2. Which book focuses on nature protection? A. Girl of the Limberlost. B. The Swiss Family Robinson. C. Swallows and Amazons. D. Island of the Blue Dolphins. 3. What do the four books have in common? A. They are based on real story. B. They are written mainly for parents. C. They contain important morals. D. They tell adventurous experiences. B “BANG!” I pulled the door heavily behind me. “Never set foot in this house again!” stormed father. I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street. A young man who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree. But now...I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron(铁制的) door between us that can never be opened. I wandered in the streets until I had only the street lights to keep me company. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on. I thought to myself, “Is Father waiting for his boy, or still angry with him?” All the lights were off except Father’s. Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After an argument he had the habit of tucking me underneath the covers(掖被子) while I was sleeping. This was how he always was. He had been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do had become his second nature. The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love——it’s second to none. 4. How did the author most probably feel when he left the flat? A. Frightened. B. Curious. C. Angry. D. Excited. 5. What did the young man holding a child remind the author of? A. The street lights. B. His happy childhood. C. The high-rise apartment block. D. The iron door between him and his father. 6. Why was the light in the author’s father’s room “still” on? A. He forgot to turn it off. B. He was testing the light. C He was afraid of darkness. D. He was waiting for his son. 7. What can be inferred from the text? A. The father loved his son indeed. B. The son liked walking along the street. C. The story took place on a cold winter night. D. The father was too old to understand his son. C Music surrounds us in our everyday lives. We hear it when we are in the car, at work, when we are shopping, at restaurants and many more places. Music serves a purpose other than entertainment at many of these places. Music will influence mood in people and it is no secret that it is used at every available opportunity. We are introduced to music even before we are born. It is used to comfort, to cheer up, to entertain, as a medium to remember information, for medical purposes, and so much more. Music is used in many ways to improve the lives of people. It is meant to be consumed, whether it is by the listener, performer, or composer. It is a way to translate feelings and desires that are sometimes difficult to express by using language. Music has the ability to change human thoughts and behaviors. The stores use the power of music to produce a desired behavior from their customers. For example, according to The Journal of Marketing, background music is thought to improve the store’s image, make employees happier, and to entice customers into purchasing. One more example, In 1993, a study was conducted in Irvine, California by Dr. Francis Raucher and the colleagues on a group of thirty-six undergraduate college students. It found that they improved their intelligence after listening to 10 minutes of a Mozart sonata. The results of the study showed that student’ IQ scores improved by 8-9 points and lasted for 10-15 minutes. This study was coined the “Mozart effect’”. As you can see, music has got and will always get into our society. There are many uses for music and it has many hidden meaning and uses. Music is powerful indeed! 8. What can be inferred about music from paragraph 2? A. Music is powerful. B. Music exists everywhere. C. Music is greater than language. D. Music controls people’s behavior. 9. What does the underlined word “entice” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Threaten. B. Persuade. C. Prevent. D. Force. 10. What’s the “Mozart effect”? A. Music cures mental illness. B. Music has a strong effect on people’s life. C Music can help kids become more energetic. D. Music can improve some people’s intelligence. 11. What’s the author’s attitude to the influence of music? A. Doubtful. B. Disappointed. C. Positive. D. Uncaring. D McDonald’s sells about one billion Happy Meals every year in more than 100 countries, including a lot of little, plastic toys. As the climate crisis heats up, plastic has been targeted as a major factor. McDonald’s is trying its best to be part of the solution, announcing the roll of “more sustainable”. Happy Meal toys made from recycled or certified materials by 2025. The process of adopting sustainable Happy Meal toys has been underway for the past few years and has been strong cooperation between the marketing and supply chain teams. The announcement, however, marks Happy Meals’ first sustainability makeover and their joining a number of other recent sustainability initiatives from McDonald’s. McDonald’s claimed to be the first global restaurant company to invest in solar and wind energy to expand the amount of renewable energy available in the U.S. McDonald’s also recently completed its first net-zero energy restaurant, located in Florida, designed to create enough renewable energy on-site to cover 100% of its energy needs annually. The company is using the restaurant to test additional solutions to reducing energy and water use. All these efforts have the potential to provide a model not just for the system of McDonald’s, but for the entire restaurant industry, given the chain’s scale. They’ re also likely to generate some closeness from younger consumers, who are demanding more social responsibility from major corporations. The toy makeover won’t affect the price of Happy Meals, because the company has designed their cost to be neutral (适中的). This likely means the effort won’t affect sales much, if at all. Happy Meal sales are “stronger than ever”. “We have listened to our customers and have heard not just from parents, but from kids themselves,” said Sam, one of the officials of McDonald’s. “They’ re worried about the planet. We want to grow and be relevant to our customers and are now making bigger changes because we know this is what they wanted us to do.” 12. What can be inferred about Happy Meal toys of McDonald’s? A. Their production will be expanded in a few years. B. Their sales have declined due to the climate crisis. C. They’ ll be improved to be environmentally friendly. D. They’ re made from newly developed plastic materials. 13. Why does the author mention the restaurants of McDonald’s in Florida? A. To show its rapid expansion. B. To stress its strong economic strength. C. To prove the cost of green products is higher. D. To tell its attempts at the use of renewable energy. 14. What may happen after the action of McDonald’s according to Paragraph 4? A. The employees of McDonald’s will get a pay rise. B. McDonald’s will earn both fame and fortune in the field. C. The price of McDonald’s products tends to be reasonable. D. McDonald’s restaurants will be environmentally themed. 15. What can be concluded from Sam’s words about McDonald’s? A It always puts customers first. B. It cares about children’s health. C. It boosts the family relationship. D. It has a strong crisis awareness. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Enjoy Spring As winter is past and the days start warming and brightening, it s possible to start feeling your mood improved and you re less weighed down by the cold days of winter. ____16____ And indeed it is the time to renew your goals, refresh your home, and unearth your garden.

I’ve witnessed one inspiring case. One morning, I went outside to feed our horse Bullet. Usually, Bullet waits eagerly at the fence for his breakfast. But this morning he stayed near a tree in the pasture’s center. As he began joyfully walking toward me, I noticed a dog lying in the tall grass beneath the tree. So this was what held Bullet’s attention this morning: a homeless dog. Most of the homeless dogs shied away from our large Bullet, but this one seemed to feel safe in the shelter of the tall grass regardless of Bullet. I placed alfalfa cubes inside the fence. After Bullet ate them, I’d give him some cookies he loved most. I walked back to my porch and sat down. As Bullet ate alfalfa, the dog stood up cautiously, stared at Bullet for long and then slowly walked toward Bullet. The dog often paused and looked at me to ensure I wasn’t a threat. As the dog drew closer to Bullet, I held my breath. I didn’t know how Bullet would react to an animal that approached while he was eating. Knowing a horse’s kick can kill a dog, I decided to scare the dog away. Just then Bullet swung his head and looked at the dog. Not minding it, he ate his food again. The dog drew close enough to take an alfalfa cube. My heart broke as I watched the dog — a female — chewing on the alfalfa. She had to be extremely hungry to attempt to eat horse feed. I went inside the house, carried some meat and walked toward the fence. The dog soon ran to the safety of the tall grass near the tree. I put the meat down outside the fence and went back inside the house. She’d probably come for the meat when I was out of sight. Minutes later, I realized I hadn’t yet given Bullet his cookies. I took some and went back outside. Amazingly, Bullet was lying down in the grass beneath the tree with the dog next to him. I smiled at the warm scene they created. 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。 Knowing I carried his treat, Bullet got up quickly and ran to me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But Bullet didn’t care as the dog jumped forward and took a cookie. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024 年上学期高一期末质量检测试题 英语 本试卷共8页。全卷满分120分，考试时间90分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在本试卷和答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应的答案标号涂黑，如有改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案;回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 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。 A Looking for educational and inspiring books for your children?

I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street. A young man who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree. But now...I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron(铁制的) door between us that can never be opened. I wandered in the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on. I thought to myself, “Is Father waiting for his boy, or still angry with him?” All the lights were off except Father’s. Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After an argument he had the habit of tucking me underneath the covers(掖被子) while I was sleeping. This was how he always was. He had been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do had become his second nature. The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和父亲吵架后，跑出家来到街上，但是当作者看到路边有一个年轻人抱着自己的小孩时，作者回想起了小时候和父亲在一起的开心时刻，于是作者走回家，深夜在外面看到只有自家灯在亮着，打开家门，作者眼泪流出来了，因为父亲一直在等他，这时作者才意识到父亲对自己的爱是独一无二的。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段““BANG!” I pulled the door heavily behind me. “Never set foot in this house again!” stormed father. I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.(”砰！”我重重地拉了一下身后的门。“再也不要踏进这所房子一步！”父亲怒吼道。我冲出公寓，沿着街道跑去。)”可知，作者和父亲吵架了，作者“砰”地关门，冲出公寓，沿着街道跑去这一系列动作可推知，作者离开公寓时很生气，故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A young man who held a child in his arms walked past me.

Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After an argument he had the habit of tucking me underneath the covers(掖被子) while I was sleeping. This was how he always was.(爸爸总是这样。也许他不知道如何表达自己。在争吵之后，他习惯在我睡觉的时候，给我掖被子。他一直都是这样。)”和最后一段中“As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love——it’s second to none.(我一开门，眼泪就顺着脸颊流了下来。我突然意识到我想象中的那扇铁门根本不存在。爱是第一位的。)”可知，每次吵架后，父亲总是在作者睡着后给作者掖被子，怕作者冻着，这说明父亲是爱作者的，在这次吵架后，作者在外面看到家里的灯一直亮着，作者回到家后眼泪就顺着脸颊流了下来，这是因为作者看到父亲在等着作者，作者认为父亲对自己的爱是独一无二的，由此可推知，父亲很爱自己的儿子，故选A。 C Music surrounds us in our everyday lives.

(音乐会影响人们的情绪，这不是什么秘密，它会在每一个可用的机会被利用。我们甚至在出生前就开始接触音乐。它被用来安慰、振奋、娱乐、作为记忆信息的媒介、用于医疗目的等等。音乐在许多方面被用来改善人们的生活。它是用来消费的，无论是听众、表演者还是作曲家。它是一种传送有时难以用语言表达的感情和愿望的方式)”可知，音乐有着很多的用途，可用于很多的场合的对象，由此推知，音乐有强大的力量。故选A项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。分析划线词所在句“For example, according to The Journal of Marketing, background music is thought to improve the store’s image, make employees happier, and to entice customers into purchasing.(例如，据《营销杂志》报道，背景音乐被认为可以改善商店的形象，让员工更快乐，并entice顾客去购买)”可知，动词entice的逻辑主语是background music，其宾语是customers into purchasing，由此可知，背景音乐能“说服”顾客去购买商品，划线词与persuade同义。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In 1993, a study was conducted in Irvine, California by Dr. Francis Raucher and the colleagues on a group of thirty-six undergraduate college students. It found that they improved their intelligence after listening to 10 minutes of a Mozart sonata. The results of the study showed that student’ IQ scores improved by 8-9 points and lasted for 10-15 minutes. This study was coined the ‘Mozart effect’.(1993年，弗朗西斯·劳彻博士和他的同事们在加州的欧文对36名大学生进行了一项研究。研究发现，在听了10分钟莫扎特奏鸣曲后，他们的智力有所提高。研究结果显示，学生的智商分数提高了8-9分，并持续了10-15分钟。这项研究被称为“莫扎特效应”)”可知，“莫扎特效应”指的是音乐可以提高一些人的智力。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Music serves a purpose other than entertainment at many of these places.(在这些地方，音乐除了娱乐还有其他用途)”和最后一段中“As you can see, music has got and will always get into our society. There are many uses for music and it has many hidden meaning and uses. Music is powerful indeed!(正如你所看到的，音乐已经并将永远进入我们的社会。音乐有许多用途，它有许多隐藏的意义和用途。音乐确实很强大！)”可知，作者认为音乐很强大，有重要意义和广泛用途。由此可知，他对音乐的影响持积极的态度。故选C项。 D McDonald’s sells about one billion Happy Meals every year in more than 100 countries, including a lot of little, plastic toys. As the climate crisis heats up, plastic has been targeted as a major factor. McDonald’s is trying its best to be part of the solution, announcing the roll of “more sustainable”. Happy Meal toys made from recycled or certified materials by 2025. The process of adopting sustainable Happy Meal toys has been underway for the past few years and has been strong cooperation between the marketing and supply chain teams. The announcement, however, marks Happy Meals’ first sustainability makeover and their joining a number of other recent sustainability initiatives from McDonald’s. McDonald’s claimed to be the first global restaurant company to invest in solar and wind energy to expand the amount of renewable energy available in the U.S. McDonald’s also recently completed its first net-zero energy restaurant, located in Florida, designed to create enough renewable energy on-site to cover 100% of its energy needs annually. The company is using the restaurant to test additional solutions to reducing energy and water use. All these efforts have the potential to provide a model not just for the system of McDonald’s, but for the entire restaurant industry, given the chain’s scale. They’ re also likely to generate some closeness from younger consumers, who are demanding more social responsibility from major corporations. The toy makeover won’t affect the price of Happy Meals, because the company has designed their cost to be neutral (适中的). This likely means the effort won’t affect sales much, if at all. Happy Meal sales are “stronger than ever”. “We have listened to our customers and have heard not just from parents, but from kids themselves,” said Sam, one of the officials of McDonald’s. “They’ re worried about the planet. We want to grow and be relevant to our customers and are now making bigger changes because we know this is what they wanted us to do.” 12. What can be inferred about Happy Meal toys of McDonald’s? A. Their production will be expanded in a few years. B. Their sales have declined due to the climate crisis. C. They’ ll be improved to be environmentally friendly. D. They’ re made from newly developed plastic materials. 13. Why does the author mention the restaurants of McDonald’s in Florida? A. To show its rapid expansion. B. To stress its strong economic strength. C. To prove the cost of green products is higher. D. To tell its attempts at the use of renewable energy. 14. What may happen after the action of McDonald’s according to Paragraph 4? A. The employees of McDonald’s will get a pay rise. B. McDonald’s will earn both fame and fortune in the field. C. The price of McDonald’s products tends to be reasonable. D. McDonald’s restaurants will be environmentally themed. 15. What can be concluded from Sam’s words about McDonald’s? A. It always puts customers first. B. It cares about children’s health. C. It boosts the family relationship. D. It has a strong crisis awareness. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15.

I’ve witnessed one inspiring case. One morning, I went outside to feed our horse Bullet. Usually, Bullet waits eagerly at the fence for his breakfast. But this morning he stayed near a tree in the pasture’s center. As he began joyfully walking toward me, I noticed a dog lying in the tall grass beneath the tree. So this was what held Bullet’s attention this morning: a homeless dog. Most of the homeless dogs shied away from our large Bullet, but this one seemed to feel safe in the shelter of the tall grass regardless of Bullet. I placed alfalfa cubes inside the fence. After Bullet ate them, I’d give him some cookies he loved most. I walked back to my porch and sat down. As Bullet ate alfalfa, the dog stood up cautiously, stared at Bullet for long and then slowly walked toward Bullet. The dog often paused and looked at me to ensure I wasn’t a threat. As the dog drew closer to Bullet, I held my breath. I didn’t know how Bullet would react to an animal that approached while he was eating. Knowing a horse’s kick can kill a dog, I decided to scare the dog away. Just then Bullet swung his head and looked at the dog. Not minding it, he ate his food again. The dog drew close enough to take an alfalfa cube. My heart broke as I watched the dog — a female — chewing on the alfalfa. She had to be extremely hungry to attempt to eat horse feed. I went inside the house, carried some meat and walked toward the fence. The dog soon ran to the safety of the tall grass near the tree. I put the meat down outside the fence and went back inside the house. She’d probably come for the meat when I was out of sight. Minutes later, I realized I hadn’t yet given Bullet his cookies. I took some and went back outside. Amazingly, Bullet was lying down in the grass beneath the tree with the dog next to him. I smiled at the warm scene they created. 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。 Knowing I carried his treat, Bullet got up quickly and ran to me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But Bullet didn’t care as the dog jumped forward and took a cookie. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph1： Knowing I carried his treat, Bullet got up quickly and ran to me. The dog watched as I threw cookies over the fence. I noticed she hadn’t gotten the courage to venture outside the fence to get the meat. I went back to the porch, trying to think of a way to make the dog overcome her fear and come for the meat. Noticing Bullet was eating, the dog began to move forward slowly, watching me all the while. “He might share his alfalfa with you, but he’ll never let you eat his favorite cookies!” I said to myself. Paragraph 2： But Bullet didn’t care as the dog jumped forward and took a cookie. The dog soon swallowed the cookie, and then took more. When Bullet walked back toward the tree’s shade, the dog walked along. All day long, they stayed together. The next day, Bullet still shared his food with the dog. And I managed to make the dog get out of the pasture and adopted her. Although she eventually warmed to me, she always loved Bullet’s company most. They’d run joyfully together and rest together.
