He would wake up at four in the morning every day to work on the farm. Although he was a great student in school, he only went up to Grade 3 because he was required to help with the family farm. Later, my grandfather used his own hard-earned savings — the small amount was all he had — to travel to Canada. He was alone in a new country, not knowing anyone and not speaking English or French. At a farm, the owner quickly saw what a hard-working young man my grandfather was, so he paid my grandfather a much higher salary. Although the owner was very nice to him and treated him like family, he was not satisfied. He dreamed of being more successful, of better career advancements. One day, he got an offer to work in the construction industry. My grandfather, a newly immigrated young farmer, who was eager to move up in the world, caught this opportunity and prospered (发达) through hard work. Around 1967, however, he become overwhelmed (不知所措的) with stress, sleepless nights and anxiety from the business. He also had two young daughters to take care of and my grandmother was in the hospital at the time. The combined stress and anxiety unfortunately drove him into a major depression. During a medical check-up, his doctor warned him about his health. He knew it was time for him to make a change and decided to sell his shares in the company. He then began a smaller business of his own, which resulted in less stress and more time with family. Had he chosen not to quit his former job, he might have been a billionaire today. My grandfather will turn 95 in October; even at this ripe old age, he is still strong, well and high-spirited. Looking at his story as a life example, he teaches us to work hard, but at the same time not to forget to enjoy life and have a good sense of humour about it all. Work is important, sure, but there is much more to life than just that. Overall, this is the ultimate key to happiness. 4. The writer’s grandfather dropped out of school early ________. A. by his own choice B. in order to go abroad C. at the request of his parents D. because of the pressure of study 5. What do we know about the author’s grandfather from paragraph 2? A.

To take good care of his wife. D. To follow the author’s advice. 7. What is the author trying to tell us by writing this article? A. Success comes from struggle. B. Hard work always comes first. C. The body is the capital of work. D. Enjoying life is the key to happiness. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者的祖父从一个意大利小镇的农民，到加拿大的移民，再到成功的商人，最终选择放弃部分事业以换取更多家庭时间和减轻压力的故事。文章通过祖父的经历传达了一个信息：工作很重要，但生活中还有更多的东西，享受生活是幸福的关键。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Although he was a great student in school, he only went up to Grade 3 because he was required to help with the family farm.(虽然他在学校是个好学生，但他只上到三年级，因为他被要求帮忙打理家庭农场)”可知，作者的祖父因父母的要求而辍学，去帮助打理家里的农场。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Although the owner was very nice to him and treated him like family, he was not satisfied.

In the summer of 2013, while Stefano Piraino was wandering along the rocky shoreline, he noticed a washed-up jellyfish. Then, he tore off a piece and put it in his mouth. It was salty, crunchy and crispy from the sun. “It was very tasty,” remembers Piraino, a zoologist. After a few days of lying on the shore, their stinging cells (刺细胞) are deactivated, Piraino explains. Still, he warns that people should not eat jellyfish straight out of the sea, because raw jellyfish contains bacteria that can cause food poisoning. Recently, there have been numerous reports of jellyfish blooms — seasonal events where there is a large and sudden increase in jellyfish numbers. These population explosions break the balance of ocean ecosystems, and have the potential to harm biodiversity and reduce fish stocks. Some scientists, such as Piraino, believe one solution is broadening our palates (口味) since the world is in urgent need of sustainable food resources. Jellyfish can be integrated into traditional recipes and local cuisine. Not only are they high in protein, but the microalgae inside the cells of some jellyfish are rich in fatty acids. In fact, jellyfish is already eaten across Asia. In China, jellyfish has been eaten for more than 1, 000 years, with jellyfish salad a popular delicacy. Jonathan Houghton, a senior lecturer in marine biology, believes that jellyfish can be a better source of collagen (胶原蛋白). There are a number of companies already using jellyfish as a substitute (替代品) for cow and pig collagen, which is often used in medical treatments for humans. One British company says collagen from jellyfish offers a better choice, because their collagen can work with a wide variety of human cell types. 8. What did Piraino do with the washed-up jellyfish he found on the shoreline? A. He just ignored it. B. He ate a piece of it. C. He took it home for research. D. He warned people against touching it. 9. Why does Piraino warn people not to eat jellyfish directly from the sea? A. Because they are tasteless when raw B. Because their stinging cells are active. C. Because they contain dangerous bacteria. D. Because they are too salty, crunchy and crispy. 10. What does the underlined word “blooms” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Reduction. B. Transformation. C. Control. D. Rise. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Jellyfish is a tasty delicacy in Asia. B. Eating jellyfish can be harmful to people. C. Jellyfish’s population affects ocean ecosystems. D. Jellyfish can be a food source and medical treatment. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了水母作为食物来源和医疗用途的可能性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Then, he tore off a piece and put it in his mouth.(然后，他撕下一块放进嘴里)”可知，Piraino吃了一块他在海岸线上发现的被冲上岸的水母。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Still, he warns that people should not eat jellyfish straight out of the sea, because raw jellyfish contains bacteria that can cause food poisoning.(尽管如此，他还是警告人们不应该直接从海里吃水母，因为生的水母含有可能导致食物中毒的细菌)”可知，Piraino警告人们不要直接从海里吃水母是因为它们含有危险的细菌。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“Recently, there have been numerous reports of jellyfish blooms — seasonal events where there is a large and sudden increase in jellyfish numbers.(最近，有很多关于水母blooms的报道——这是一个季节性的事件，水母的数量会大量突然增加)”可知，“blooms”在这里指的是水母数量的增加。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“There was an encounter that later sparked scientists’ investigations into using jellyfish as a greater source of food, as well as a potential ingredient in medicines and nutraceuticals.(有一次遭遇后来激发了科学家对使用水母作为更大的食物来源，以及药物和营养品中的潜在成分的研究)”，倒数第二段“Some scientists, such as Piraino, believe one solution is broadening our palates (口味) since the world is in urgent need of sustainable food resources. Jellyfish can be integrated into traditional recipes and local cuisine.(一些科学家，例如皮拉诺，认为一个解决方案是拓宽我们的口味，因为世界迫切需要可持续的食物资源。水母可以融入传统食谱和地方美食中)”和最后一段“There are a number of companies already using jellyfish as a substitute (替代品) for cow and pig collagen, which is often used in medical treatments for humans. (许多公司已经将水母用作牛和猪胶原蛋白的替代品，牛和猪的胶原蛋白通常用于人类的医疗)”可知，这篇文章主要讲述了水母可以作为食物来源和医疗用途。故选D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。 Waking up in the morning, you find that you forget to set your wake-up alarm and soon you realize you’re going to be late for school or work, causing a panic. ____12____ So you often leave home stressed, hungry, and thirsty.

We named her Onyx because of her black, shiny black coat. She spent her first vacation with us when she was only ten weeks old and had her first bath and swim in the St. Lawrence River. We had no clue that this amazing little ball of fur would end up being our hero. As she grew older Onyx became more and more involved in our family activities. On hot summer days, Onyx enjoyed floating on the river with us in her own rubber tube (橡皮圈). Amazingly standing on the top of the tube, she smiled while showing off her perfect balance. Resting her front legs and paws over the edge of the rubber tube, she kept her eyes shut as she floated until she’d had enough of the warm sun on her black coat. One day, our eighteen-year-old daughter, Margie, announced she was going to swim across the bay. No one in the family was free to go swimming with her. The unwritten rules, regardless of swimming ability, was to have a companion in the water with you, especially when swimming the width of the bay. I was not a good swimmer, so I said to Margie, “Take Onyx with you.” Having heard her name, Onyx woke up from a nap and was ready for action. Margie signed the dog to follow her. Onyx ran to the water next to her. They entered the freezing river together and swam side by side across the bay. I watched from the bank as they reached the sandbar (沙洲) on the far shore. They rested a few minutes before diving into the water for the return trip. I felt uneasy for some reason and continued to watch the pair swim side by side. Suddenly I heard Margie calling out, “I have a cram (痉挛) in the leg! ” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing the pair approaching the riverbank, I breathed a sigh of relief. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly I heard Margie calling out, “I have a cram ( 痉李 ) in the leg! ” Seized with panic, Margie rubbed her leg hard to relax the muscle but in vain. Seeing her struggling in the water, Onyx immediately swam to the side of Margie and then put her head beneath the girl’s right arm. I yelled for help for fear that they might freeze in the chilly river. But much to my joy, with Margie tightly grabbing Onyx’s collar, our little furry friend began digging deep, slicing through the water with her paws and swimming fast towards the bank with every ounce of strength. Seeing the pair approaching the riverbank, I breathed a sigh of relief. When they finally got to the shore, I reached out to help Margie, pulling her up onto the riverbank and wrapping her in a large towel. Exhausted but excited, Onyx eagerly ran to Margie and gently licked her face to make sure she was Okay, Everyone in the family was grateful for their safe return and Onyx was given an extra treat later in the afternoon for her quick and brave reaction. She became our hero that day and she never ceased to amaze us in the days that followed. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者养了一条狗，给它取名为Onyx，随着Onyx长大，它成为了家庭的一员，一天作者的女儿Margie打算游过海湾，但是没人陪她一起，于是作者让Onyx陪着女儿，当女儿从海湾对面游回来时，突然她脚抽筋了，幸好Onyx救了她，让作者对Onyx非常感激。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，我听到Margie叫道：“我腿抽筋了！””可知，第一段可描写Margie遇险，Onyx救助Margie的场景。 ②由第二段首句内容“看到他们俩走近河岸，我松了一口气。”可知，第二段可描写Onyx成功救下Margie，作者对它的感激之情。 2. 续写线索：Onyx成为家庭一员——女儿打算游过海湾——Onyx陪她一起——腿抽筋遇险——Onyx及时救援——成功回到岸边——感激 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①看到：see/spot/notice ②大喊：yell/shout/bawl ③确保：make sure/ensure/guarantee 情绪类 ①兴奋的：excited/thrilled/enthusiastic ②感激的：grateful/appreciative/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1]I yelled for help for fear that they might freeze in the chilly river.(运用了that引导的同位语从句) [高分句型2]When they finally got to the shore, I reached out to help Margie, pulling her up onto the riverbank and wrapping her in a large towel.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句) 听力答案：1～5 ACBAC 6～10 BCAAC 11～15 BCCBA 16～20 BBBAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 桂林市2023～2024学年度下学期期末质量检测 高一英语 (考试用时120分钟, 满分150分) 注意事项： 1. 答题前, 考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 选出每小题答案后, 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, 再选涂其他答案标号。不能答在本试卷上, 否则无效。 3. 考试结束后, 将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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。 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.

Although he was a great student in school, he only went up to Grade 3 because he was required to help with the family farm. Later, my grandfather used his own hard-earned savings — the small amount was all he had — to travel to Canada. He was alone in a new country, not knowing anyone and not speaking English or French. At a farm, the owner quickly saw what a hard-working young man my grandfather was, so he paid my grandfather a much higher salary. Although the owner was very nice to him and treated him like family, he was not satisfied. He dreamed of being more successful, of better career advancements. One day, he got an offer to work in the construction industry. My grandfather, a newly immigrated young farmer, who was eager to move up in the world, caught this opportunity and prospered (发达) through hard work. Around 1967, however, he become overwhelmed (不知所措的) with stress, sleepless nights and anxiety from the business. He also had two young daughters to take care of and my grandmother was in the hospital at the time. The combined stress and anxiety unfortunately drove him into a major depression. During a medical check-up, his doctor warned him about his health. He knew it was time for him to make a change and decided to sell his shares in the company. He then began a smaller business of his own, which resulted in less stress and more time with family. Had he chosen not to quit his former job, he might have been a billionaire today. My grandfather will turn 95 in October; even at this ripe old age, he is still strong, well and high-spirited. Looking at his story as a life example, he teaches us to work hard, but at the same time not to forget to enjoy life and have a good sense of humour about it all. Work is important, sure, but there is much more to life than just that. Overall, this is the ultimate key to happiness. 4. The writer’s grandfather dropped out of school early ________. A. by his own choice B. in order to go abroad C. at the request of his parents D. because of the pressure of study 5. What do we know about the author’s grandfather from paragraph 2? A. He was an ungrateful man. B. He desired to achieve success. C. He prospered through hard work. D. He thought more of health than of money. 6. Why did the author’s grandfather sell his shares in the company? A. To live a happy new life. B. To help with the family farm. C. To take good care of his wife. D. To follow the author’s advice. 7. What is the author trying to tell us by writing this article? A. Success comes from struggle. B. Hard work always comes first. C. The body is the capital of work. D. Enjoying life is the key to happiness. C There was an encounter that later sparked scientists’ investigations into using jellyfish as a greater source of food, as well as a potential ingredient in medicines and nutraceuticals. In the summer of 2013, while Stefano Piraino was wandering along the rocky shoreline, he noticed a washed-up jellyfish. Then, he tore off a piece and put it in his mouth. It was salty, crunchy and crispy from the sun. “It was very tasty,” remembers Piraino, a zoologist. After a few days of lying on the shore, their stinging cells (刺细胞) are deactivated, Piraino explains. Still, he warns that people should not eat jellyfish straight out of the sea, because raw jellyfish contains bacteria that can cause food poisoning. Recently, there have been numerous reports of jellyfish blooms — seasonal events where there is a large and sudden increase in jellyfish numbers. These population explosions break the balance of ocean ecosystems, and have the potential to harm biodiversity and reduce fish stocks. Some scientists, such as Piraino, believe one solution is broadening our palates (口味) since the world is in urgent need of sustainable food resources. Jellyfish can be integrated into traditional recipes and local cuisine. Not only are they high in protein, but the microalgae inside the cells of some jellyfish are rich in fatty acids. In fact, jellyfish is already eaten across Asia. In China, jellyfish has been eaten for more than 1, 000 years, with jellyfish salad a popular delicacy. Jonathan Houghton, a senior lecturer in marine biology, believes that jellyfish can be a better source of collagen (胶原蛋白). There are a number of companies already using jellyfish as a substitute (替代品) for cow and pig collagen, which is often used in medical treatments for humans. One British company says collagen from jellyfish offers a better choice, because their collagen can work with a wide variety of human cell types. 8. What did Piraino do with the washed-up jellyfish he found on the shoreline? A. He just ignored it. B. He ate a piece of it. C He took it home for research. D. He warned people against touching it. 9. Why does Piraino warn people not to eat jellyfish directly from the sea? A. Because they are tasteless when raw B. Because their stinging cells are active. C. Because they contain dangerous bacteria. D. Because they are too salty, crunchy and crispy. 10. What does the underlined word “blooms” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Reduction. B. Transformation. C. Control. D. Rise. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Jellyfish is a tasty delicacy in Asia. B. Eating jellyfish can be harmful to people. C. Jellyfish’s population affects ocean ecosystems. D. Jellyfish can be a food source and medical treatment. 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。 Waking up in the morning, you find that you forget to set your wake-up alarm and soon you realize you’re going to be late for school or work, causing a panic. ____12____ So you often leave home stressed, hungry, and thirsty.

We named her Onyx because of her black, shiny black coat. She spent her first vacation with us when she was only ten weeks old and had her first bath and swim in the St. Lawrence River. We had no clue that this amazing little ball of fur would end up being our hero. As she grew older, Onyx became more and more involved in our family activities. On hot summer days, Onyx enjoyed floating on the river with us in her own rubber tube (橡皮圈). Amazingly standing on the top of the tube, she smiled while showing off her perfect balance. Resting her front legs and paws over the edge of the rubber tube, she kept her eyes shut as she floated until she’d had enough of the warm sun on her black coat. One day, our eighteen-year-old daughter, Margie, announced she was going to swim across the bay. No one in the family was free to go swimming with her. The unwritten rules, regardless of swimming ability, was to have a companion in the water with you, especially when swimming the width of the bay. I was not a good swimmer, so I said to Margie, “Take Onyx with you.” Having heard her name, Onyx woke up from a nap and was ready for action. Margie signed the dog to follow her. Onyx ran to the water next to her. They entered the freezing river together and swam side by side across the bay. I watched from the bank as they reached the sandbar (沙洲) on the far shore. They rested a few minutes before diving into the water for the return trip. I felt uneasy for some reason and continued to watch the pair swim side by side. Suddenly I heard Margie calling out, “I have a cram (痉挛) in the leg! ” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing the pair approaching the riverbank, I breathed a sigh of relief. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1～5 ACBAC 6～10 BCAAC 11～15 BCCBA 16～20 BBBAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
