B I was born in Bombay, India. When I was about 6 months old, my legs became paralyzed (麻痹的). My birth mother deserted (遗弃) me. I was adopted (收养) by an American family. I was taken to Spokane, Washington. It took me a long time to be able to walk, because I had to accept a number of operations. When I was in the business school, one of my friends was training for a marathon. One day, she introduced me to an organization called Achilles International, which was a club for athletes with disabilities. It took me four months to get the courage to make the phone call. Dick Traum, the founder of Achilles, answered the phone. He asked me to show up on Tuesday and would lend me his bike. That was the first time that I had been able to feel the wind in my long hair. I rode really slowly, but it was the coolest feeling to ride a bicycle for the first time. Later, I decided to take part in the Ironman World Championship. I was in a lot of pain, because I had to practice swimming, biking and running for over nine months. On the day of the marathon, it took me 14 hours and 39 minutes to finish the Triathlon. After I crossed that finish line, I cried. I made it. It was my determination that made my dream come true. 24. Who took the author to America? A. Her birth father. B. An Indian family. C. An American family. D. Her birth mother. 25. Where did the author know about the organization? A. From a book. B. From her friend. C. From the Internet. D. From a magazine. 26. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Her hard exercising experience. B. Her wish to be successful. C. Her attitude towards the painful life. D. Her dream of becoming a champion. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. Disability Is the Key to Success B. A Friend in Need Is a Friend Indeed C. Success Depends on Whom You Meet D. Determination Makes Everything Possible C Have you ever trained your brain? Now there are some new suggestions, such as eating dark chocolate and having cold meat for breakfast. You should also avoid watching soap operas, spending time with people who complain or follow fat-free diets, according to a new book on getting “brain-fit”. Many of the suggestions in Teach Yourself Training Your Brain are surprising. The book says to read out loud while holding a baby. Writers Terry Horne and Simon Wotton say their advice is from the latest research by experts around the world. “For years we have thought our brain capability is decided by our genes. But it’s now clear that it depends on our lifestyle. What we eat and drink, how we learn at school and what type of feelings we have are all important,” said Horne. The book talks about the most up-to -date thinking in science about how diet, the environment, stress and other sides of modern life affect our brain capacity. It also offers advice and exercises. The book comes as more and more people are spending money on books, DVDs and computer games, which can improve their brain’s capability. Horne believes that people need to make changes to their lifestyles to increase their brain capacity. Happiness, confidence and an optimistic nature help the brain, he added. “So mix with people who make you laugh, or share the same interests as you. And avoid people who complain,” said Horne. “People who are negative will make you sad, which means you won’t achieve things.” 28. According to the book, which of the following isn’t good for training your brain? A. Doing some brain games. B. Eating dark chocolate. C. Having cold meat for breakfast. D. Watching soap operas. 29. What’s Horne’s attitude toward the brain capability? A. It depends on what our genes are like. B. It’s decided by our lifestyle. C. It has nothing to do with schools. D. It should follow the type of our feelings. 30. What's the book Teach Yourself Training Your Brain mainly about? A. How people’s brain capability works. B. Exercises to improve brain capability. C. Some scientific and healthy diets. D. How to improve people’s brain capability. 31. From the underlined sentence, we can learn that ________. A. more and more people are interested in reading B. books can help people improve their brain capability C. people are paying more attention to training their brain D. there are many ways to train people’s brain D Can dogs and cats live in peace in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new way for success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two­thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog. However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while attacking and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals attack, while a dog doing the same signals admitting defeat. In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”. What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously thought. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other. The advantage of this research on cats and dogs may not only about pets — to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance. 32. The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to . A. early B. sweetly C. quickly D. suprisingly 33. Some cats and dogs may fight when . A. they are cold to each other B. they look away from each other C. they understand each other’s signals in a wrong way D. they are introduced at an early age 34. What is found surprising about cats and dogs? A. They eat and sleep together. B. They observe each other’s behaviors. C. They learn to speak each other’s language. D. They know something from each other’s voices. 35. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs? A. We should learn to live in peace. B. We should know more about animals. C We should live in peace with animals. D. We should learn more body languages. 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，选项中有两项为多余选项。 To Be a Good Teenager Teenage years are one of the most exciting times of your life. ____36____.

When David passed them, he heard the woman yell. “How stupid you are! You’re good at nothing.” David stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset. David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Brown in middle school. After he entered a middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David behaved. But one day it all changed. One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading it. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day, to his surprise, the comment “well done” from Mrs Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. When David read that, he almost burst into tears. He never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence. That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Brown the next morning. And again he was praised. David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Brown to read them improve writing skills. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence, and was hopeful about his future. He succeeded in entering a college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Brown’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now. 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。 Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The mother was ashamed when she heard that. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 武威七中2024年春学期高二年级期末考试试卷 英语 满分：150分 考试时间：120分钟 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 (共5小题;每小题 1. 5 分，满分 7. 5 分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What’s the relationship between the speakers?

I was adopted (收养) by an American family. I was taken to Spokane, Washington. It took me a long time to be able to walk, because I had to accept a number of operations. When I was in the business school, one of my friends was training for a marathon. One day, she introduced me to an organization called Achilles International, which was a club for athletes with disabilities. It took me four months to get the courage to make the phone call. Dick Traum, the founder of Achilles, answered the phone. He asked me to show up on Tuesday and would lend me his bike. That was the first time that I had been able to feel the wind in my long hair. I rode really slowly, but it was the coolest feeling to ride a bicycle for the first time. Later, I decided to take part in the Ironman World Championship. I was in a lot of pain, because I had to practice swimming, biking and running for over nine months. On the day of the marathon it took me 14 hours and 39 minutes to finish the Triathlon.

Now there are some new suggestions, such as eating dark chocolate and having cold meat for breakfast. You should also avoid watching soap operas, spending time with people who complain or follow fat-free diets, according to a new book on getting “brain-fit”. Many of the suggestions in Teach Yourself Training Your Brain are surprising. The book says to read out loud while holding a baby. Writers Terry Horne and Simon Wotton say their advice is from the latest research by experts around the world. “For years we have thought our brain capability is decided by our genes. But it’s now clear that it depends on our lifestyle. What we eat and drink, how we learn at school and what type of feelings we have are all important,” said Horne. The book talks about the most up-to -date thinking in science about how diet the environment, stress and other sides of modern life affect our brain capacity. It also offers advice and exercises. The book comes as more and more people are spending money on books, DVDs and computer games, which can improve their brain’s capability. Horne believes that people need to make changes to their lifestyles to increase their brain capacity. Happiness, confidence and an optimistic nature help the brain, he added. “So mix with people who make you laugh, or share the same interests as you. And avoid people who complain,” said Horne. “People who are negative will make you sad, which means you won’t achieve things.” 28. According to the book, which of the following isn’t good for training your brain? A. Doing some brain games. B. Eating dark chocolate. C. Having cold meat for breakfast. D. Watching soap operas. 29. What’s Horne’s attitude toward the brain capability? A. It depends on what our genes are like. B. It’s decided by our lifestyle. C. It has nothing to do with schools. D. It should follow the type of our feelings. 30. What's the book Teach Yourself Training Your Brain mainly about? A. How people’s brain capability works. B. Exercises to improve brain capability. C. Some scientific and healthy diets. D. How to improve people’s brain capability. 31. From the underlined sentence, we can learn that ________. A. more and more people are interested in reading B. books can help people improve their brain capability C. people are paying more attention to training their brain D. there are many ways to train people’s brain 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。本文介绍了一本《教你训练大脑》的书。这本书将告诉你大脑的活动能力不仅由先天的基因决定，还取决于一个人的生活方式、周围环境及心理状态。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“You should also avoid (避免) watching soap operas ,spending time with people who complain or follow fat-free diets, according to a new book on getting ‘brain-fit’。”（根据一本关于“健脑”的新书，你也应该避免看肥皂剧，花时间和抱怨或遵循无脂肪饮食的人在一起。）你应该避免看皂剧，可知看肥皂剧不利于训练大脑。故选D项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。第三段第一句“For years we have thought our brain capability (能力) is decided by our genes（基因）. But it’s now clear that it depends on our lifestyle.”（多年来，我们一直认为我们的大脑能力是由我们的基因决定的。但现在很清楚，这取决于我们的生活方式。）可知大脑的能力取决于我们的生活方式。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“The book comes as more and more people are spending money on books, DVDs and computer games, which can improve their brain’s capability.”（这本书的出版正值越来越多的人花钱购买书籍、DVD和电脑游戏，这些可以提高他们大脑的能力。）可知，书的作者Horne认为人们需要改变人们的生活方式来增加大脑容量，可推测《教你训练大脑》主要是帮助人们改善大脑能力的。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“The book comes as more and more people are spending money on books, DVDs and computer games, which can improve their brain’s capability.”（这本书的出版正值越来越多的人花钱购买书籍、DVD和电脑游戏，这些可以提高他们大脑的能力。）推测人们开始关注他们的大脑训练了。故选 C项。 D Can dogs and cats live in peace in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new way for success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two­thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog. However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while attacking and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals attack, while a dog doing the same signals admitting defeat. In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”. What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously thought. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other. The advantage of this research on cats and dogs may not only about pets — to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance. 32. The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to . A. early B. sweetly C. quickly D. suprisingly 33. Some cats and dogs may fight when . A. they are cold to each other B. they look away from each other C. they understand each other’s signals in a wrong way D. they are introduced at an early age 34. What is found surprising about cats and dogs? A. They eat and sleep together. B. They observe each other’s behaviors. C. They learn to speak each other’s language. D. They know something from each other’s voices. 35. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs? A. We should learn to live in peace. B. We should know more about animals. C. We should live in peace with animals. D. We should learn more body languages. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。通过科学研究表明猫和狗在一定的情况下是能够和平相处的。如果先收养猫并且猫不到6个月大，狗不到一年，它们就能顺利地和平相处。通过观察它们不能和平相处的原因是它们之间误解了彼此的身势语而造成的。但有趣的是猫和狗能够相互学习彼此的身势语，这样它们就能和平相处。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。由第一段中的“According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two­thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog. (根据这项研究，如果猫是在狗之前被收养的，如果它们在还小的时候被收养（猫不到6个月，狗不到一年），那么这两只宠物很可能会相处得swimmingly。三分之二的受访家庭表示，他们的猫和狗之间有着积极的关系)”可知，如果先收养猫并且猫不到6个月大，狗不到一年，它们就能顺利地和平相处，2/3被采访的家庭也表明这样的结果，这里的swimmingly意思是“令人愉快地、顺利地”（sweetly）。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中的“here was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while attacking and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite. (据报道，在25%的家庭中，猫和狗之间表现出冷漠，而在10%的家庭中观察到攻击和打斗。其中一个原因可能是它们的一些身体信号正好相反)”可知，小狗小猫会起冲突是因为误解了对方的身体语言。故选C项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段“In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”. (在有猫和狗平静生活的家庭中，研究人员观察到了一种令人惊讶的行为。它们正在学习如何使用对方的语言。令人惊讶的是，猫可以学会如何和“狗”说话，而狗可以学会如何与“猫”说话)”可知，猫和狗令人惊讶的地方在于它们彼此学习对方的语言。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段“The advantage of this research on cats and dogs may not only about pets — to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance. (这项关于猫和狗的研究的优势可能不仅仅是关于宠物，对于不合群的人来说，包括邻居、同事，甚至世界超级大国。如果猫和狗能够学会相处，那么人们肯定有很好的机会)”可知，在动物王国，人们公认的猫和狗都能和平相处，何况人呢？人类更应该学会和平生活。故选A项。 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，选项中有两项为多余选项。 To Be a Good Teenager Teenage years are one of the most exciting times of your life. ____36____.

(运用了现在分词作状语) 第二节 读后续写(满分25分) 67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Last Saturday, David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about eight years old. When David passed them, he heard the woman yell. “How stupid you are! You’re good at nothing.” David stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset. David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Brown in middle school. After he entered a middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David behaved. But one day it all changed. One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading it. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day, to his surprise, the comment “well done” from Mrs Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. When David read that, he almost burst into tears. He never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence. That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Brown the next morning. And again he was praised. David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Brown to read them improve writing skills. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence, and was hopeful about his future. He succeeded in entering a college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Brown’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now. 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。 Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The mother was ashamed when she heard that. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy. He went to the woman, who immediately recognized him because she had read his books and seen his pictures. David started to chat with her. He told her that what she said to her boy was not appropriate. Then he told her about the encouragement he once got from Mrs. Brown. In the end, he said, “I couldn’t have become a writer if I had believed I was good at nothing.” The mother was ashamed when she heard that. She realized that she shouldn’t have called her son stupid, which would make him lose confidence in himself. So she said, “Thank you for your advice. I’ll never say such things to him again. Instead, I’ll find out what he’s good at and encourage him.” The woman then left with the boy. Looking at the back of the boy, David felt relieved, hoping his action could make a difference to the boy. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了作家大卫偶遇一位正在大声责骂自己八岁的儿子愚蠢无用的母亲，想到自己过去的经历，如果不是因为中学的英语老师Mrs. Brown的鼓励和认可，他不会有现在的成就。于是大卫主动以自身经历劝说这位母亲不要否定自己的儿子，要多鼓励他，给他信心，这位母亲也意识到了自己的问题，希望这段小小的经历能给这个男孩带来改变。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“受到自己故事的启发，大卫决定为那个男孩做点什么。”可知，第一段可描写大卫主动以自身经历劝说这位母亲不要否定自己的儿子，要多鼓励他，给他信心。 ②由第二段首句“母亲听到这话感到很惭愧”可知，第二段可描写这位母亲思想和态度的转变，从而希望能给男孩带来改变。 2. 续写线索：决定做点什么——与母亲交流，讲述自己的经历——母亲感到惭愧——意识到自己的问题——决定改变——离开——希望 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ①决定做某事：decide to do/determine to do ②聊天：chat with/talk with ③擅长做某事：be good at doing/do well in doing ④鼓励：encourage/inspire 情绪类： ①丧失信心：lose confidence/lose heart ②宽慰的：relieved/soothing 【点睛】【高分句型1】He went to the woman, who immediately recognized him because she had read his books and seen his pictures. （运用了关系代词who引导的非限制性定语从句和连词because引导的原因状语从句。） 【高分句型2】I couldn’t have become a writer if I had believed I was good at nothing.（运用了以连词if引导的条件状语从句和虚拟语气。） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
