My sister sent me a “moldy log”, a wonder waiting to be unfolded. It was a block of material with mushroom mycelium (菌丝体). If tended properly. it would fruit into a crop of nice king oyster mushrooms (杏鲍菇). My kids were absolutely baffled by it. “Will this old thing grow mushrooms?” they asked in disbelief. I followed the directions and our effort was rewarded. Within days. little mushrooms appeared. They grew so fast. When we harvested them, they were one of the most delicious things we had eaten. The whole idea of DIY mushroom growing attracted me, so I reached out to Emily Nigh, founder of a new mushroom-growing company based in Winnipeg. When I described my idea to her, she expressed enthusiasm. “There are different kinds of mushrooms you can grow,” said Emily. “My favorites grow in large clusters (簇). The smaller the cap, the tastier they are for eating.” She added, “King oyster mushrooms tend to be a popular choice because they are not picky about conditions and are so delicious. They should always be cooked, too.” I was happy to see that my DIY process had been a great success. It might fruit again in two weeks’ time if I kept taking care of it regularly. But if not, I can plant it in the garden and possibly get another crop in the fall. Anyway, Emily said, “The log is a great compost (堆肥) once it has finished fruiting.” As more people try to reduce the amount of meat they consume, mushrooms are going to become a more important part of our diets. If we can grow them at home or buy them from local growers, all the better. 4. What does the underlined word “baffled” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Confused. B. Inspired. C. Touched. D. Annoyed. 5. Why did the author meet with Emily Nigh? A. To make friends with her. B. To ask how to cook mushrooms. C. To learn to run a company from her. D. To know more about mushroom growing. 6. What did Emily Nigh do during the author’s visit? A. She expressed her appreciation. B. She showed some achievements. C. She presented some facts about mushrooms. D. She shared many of her childhood experiences. 7. How did the author feel about the DIY process? A. Satisfied. B. Disappointed. C. Tired. D. Shocked. C A family sit around their dining room table on an average evening, sharing a meal together. Yet the children in the family are not sharing time with each other, but spending it on their devices (设备). Many teenagers’ lives are being damaged due to social media use which should be banned for minors (未成年人) as it is addictive, reduces real-life interactions, and causes poor mental health. Admittedly, social media leads to addiction. In the beginning, social media platforms had one purpose — connecting people. Yet, these platforms have different intentions now, like advertisements. The users are no longer the customers but the advertisers. To make more money from their advertisers, social media is designed to be addictive to keep the consumers using the sites as long as possible. These sites stimulate (刺激) the brain to release dopamine, rewarding the behaviour and making users want to continue the habit. Teenagers often use social media to spend their spare time. However, after some time, they begin using it when they should not. The more they use it, the more they want to use it again. Teenagers may use it to make friends, but this makes them feel even more isolated. Social media is decreasing the attention span of teens, making it harder for them to complete everyday tasks. Many minors’ real-life interactions are weakened due to the use of social media. Teenagers are reported to use texting more than any other form of communication. This is a concern because texting does not include much nonverbal communication, making it harder for those using social media to read emotional cues (暗示) associated with personal, social and academic success. Teens who understand emotional cues can have better peer relationships. As a result, many teenagers who spend too much time on social media have difficulty communicating in person because they have trouble understanding others’ emotions. 8 Why are the children mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To give a reason. B. To lead in the topic. C. To offer an explanation. D. To describe the background. 9. What does the underlined phrase “the behavior” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Using social media. B. Connecting people. C. Making more money. D. Stimulating the brain. 10. Which of the following may the author agree with? A. Social media helps make teenagers more focused. B. Teenagers use social media mainly to make friends. C. Social media harms teenagers’ real-world social skills. D. Teenagers using social media have trouble in texting. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The functions of social media. B. The main problem of social media. C. The ways to avoid using social media. D. The bad impact of social media on teenagers. D Hundreds of fish in Canada beat the heat in human-made streams of cold water. The approach could help protect cold-water species as climate change warms rivers. Fish can become stressed or even die when the water gets too hot. In rivers, Atlantic salmon and other cold-water species sometimes escape the heat by swimming to cooler zones. Such cool sites may be found near groundwater springs. These small rivers and streams flow into larger waterways. “People have done a lot to preserve and add to these natural shelters,” said Kathryn Smith, a civil engineer in Canada at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Her team worked on the new river-cooling project. She said, "Until now, there hasn't really been an emphasis if we can create cold-water habitat." To test the idea, her team pumped (用泵输送) groundwater from a nearby well into the Wrights River in Nova Scotia. The groundwater was 9 ℃. This created an artificial stream of cool water. It was up to 20℃cooler than the surrounding water. This stream attracted several hundred fish of different life stages and species. These included Atlantic salmon. Most were fry (鱼苗), young still carrying their eggs' yolk sacs. These small fry hung out in the stream throughout the test. But when a heat wave raised river temperatures to about 30℃, older fish took shelter in the stream, too. The team also tried a second approach. They changed the route of some water from the river into an underground trench (沟). Here, the water cooled a bit before flowing back into the river. This method cooled part of the river without needing a pump. The water temperature fell by only a few degrees Celsius this way. But even so, fish were spotted in the cooled flow throughout the summer. 12. What did the team do during the project? A. They raised different fish. B. They made the water cooler. C. They dealt with climate change. D. They developed a lot of streams. 13. What can we know about Atlantic salmon from paragraph 2? A. It dislikes too hot water. B. It dies from other fish’s hunting. C. It is always found in the spring. D. It prefers to live in small streams. 14. Which word can best describe the project? A. Costly. B. Effective. C Meaningless. D. Historic. 15. What may be the best title for the text? A. Climate change forced fish to escape B. Fish sought cold water to avoid dying C. A project protected fish from the heat D. A team preserved the rivers in Canada 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。 In today's fast-paced world, music has become an important part of our lives.

His face was full of the lines of time. His hands held the handlebars with care. He was returning home from the market, and his tricycle was filled with fresh produce. When he was wondering how much he could sell the produce for, he got distracted(思想不集中的) and the tricycle hit a car which was parked by the roadside. The old man's heart sank as he surveyed the long scratch(划痕) damaging the new paintwork of the expensive car. He stood there with worry and regret on his face. He knew the value of such a car and the potential cost of the damage. "I can't afford this," he whispered to himself sadly. Just then, a stranger approached the old man. The stranger, dressed in a sharp suit, looked at the scene and immediately realized the situation. "The paintwork is damaged. Can you afford to pay for the damage?" he asked gently. The old man shook his head and looked down. "No, I can't," he replied. The stranger looked around and spoke in a low tone. "If you can't afford it, why don't you leave? Do you wait for the owner to come?" It was more of a suggestion than a question. A small smile appeared on the stranger's mouth. The old man hesitated, torn between his sense of responsibility and the practicality of the stranger's advice. After a moment of internal struggle, he made his decision. He pulled an old plastic bag out of his pocket. He put all the money inside, which was less than twenty dollars, under the wiper(雨刷) of the car. Then, he felt the scratch on the car with his hands. With one last look at the damaged car, he began to push his tricycle away, glancing back every few steps. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After the old man went away, the stranger took out a car key. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The stranger pulled over and got out of the car. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力：1—5 ACACB 6—10 CBABA 11—15 CCABA 16—20 CBCBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 邢台市2023—2024学年高一（下）期末测试 英语 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 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。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 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

Yet the children in the family are not sharing time with each other, but spending it on their devices (设备). Many teenagers’ lives are being damaged due to social media use which should be banned for minors (未成年人) as it is addictive, reduces real-life interactions, and causes poor mental health. Admittedly, social media leads to addiction. In the beginning, social media platforms had one purpose — connecting people. Yet, these platforms have different intentions now, like advertisements. The users are no longer the customers but the advertisers. To make more money from their advertisers, social media is designed to be addictive to keep the consumers using the sites as long as possible. These sites stimulate (刺激) the brain to release dopamine, rewarding the behaviour and making users want to continue the habit. Teenagers often use social media to spend their spare time. However, after some time, they begin using it when they should not. The more they use it, the more they want to use it again. Teenagers may use it to make friends, but this makes them feel even more isolated. Social media is decreasing the attention span of teens, making it harder for them to complete everyday tasks. Many minors’ real-life interactions are weakened due to the use of social media. Teenagers are reported to use texting more than any other form of communication. This is a concern because texting does not include much nonverbal communication, making it harder for those using social media to read emotional cues (暗示) associated with personal, social and academic success. Teens who understand emotional cues can have better peer relationships. As a result, many teenagers who spend too much time on social media have difficulty communicating in person because they have trouble understanding others’ emotions. 8. Why are the children mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To give a reason. B. To lead in the topic. C. To offer an explanation. D. To describe the background. 9. What does the underlined phrase “the behavior” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Using social media. B. Connecting people. C. Making more money. D. Stimulating the brain. 10. Which of the following may the author agree with? A. Social media helps make teenagers more focused. B. Teenagers use social media mainly to make friends. C. Social media harms teenagers’ real-world social skills. D. Teenagers using social media have trouble in texting. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The functions of social media. B. The main problem of social media. C. The ways to avoid using social media. D. The bad impact of social media on teenagers. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，讨论了社交媒体对青少年的负面影响，包括成瘾性、减少现实生活互动以及导致心理健康问题。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Yet the children in the family are not sharing time with each other, but spending it on their devices (设备). Many teenagers’ lives are being damaged due to social media use which should be banned for minors (未成年人) as it is addictive, reduces real-life interactions, and causes poor mental health.(然而，家庭中的孩子们并没有互相分享时间，而是把时间花在了他们的设备上。许多青少年的生活因为社交媒体的使用而受到损害，应该禁止未成年人使用社交媒体，因为它具有成瘾性，减少了现实生活中的互动，并导致心理健康状况不佳。)”可知，作者提到孩子们的目的是为了引出社交媒体对青少年生活的负面影响这一主题，故选B项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“These sites stimulate (刺激) the brain to release dopamine, rewarding the behaviour and making users want to continue the habit.(这些网站刺激大脑释放多巴胺，奖励这种行为，并让用户想要继续这个习惯。)”可知，“the behavior”指的是前文提到的“使用社交媒体”的行为，故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“As a result, many teenagers who spend too much time on social media have difficulty communicating in person because they have trouble understanding others’ emotions.(因此，许多在社交媒体上花费过多时间的青少年在面对面交流时遇到困难，因为他们难以理解他人的情绪。)”可知，作者认为社交媒体损害了青少年的现实世界社交技能，故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Many teenagers’ lives are being damaged due to social media use which should be banned for minors (未成年人) as it is addictive, reduces real-life interactions, and causes poor mental health.(许多青少年的生活因为社交媒体的使用而受到损害，应该禁止未成年人使用社交媒体，因为它具有成瘾性，减少了现实生活中的互动，并导致心理健康状况不佳。)”、第二段“These sites stimulate (刺激) the brain to release dopamine, rewarding the behaviour and making users want to continue the habit.(这些网站刺激大脑释放多巴胺，奖励这种行为，并让用户想要继续这个习惯。)”以及最后一段“As a result, many teenagers who spend too much time on social media have difficulty communicating in person because they have trouble understanding others' emotions.( 因此，许多在社交媒体上花费太多时间的青少年在面对面交流时会遇到困难，因为他们难以理解他人的情绪)”可知，本文主要讨论了社交媒体对青少年的负面影响，故选D项。 D Hundreds of fish in Canada beat the heat in human-made streams of cold water. The approach could help protect cold-water species as climate change warms rivers. Fish can become stressed or even die when the water gets too hot. In rivers, Atlantic salmon and other cold-water species sometimes escape the heat by swimming to cooler zones. Such cool sites may be found near groundwater springs. These small rivers and streams flow into larger waterways. “People have done a lot to preserve and add to these natural shelters,” said Kathryn Smith, a civil engineer in Canada at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Her team worked on the new river-cooling project. She said, "Until now, there hasn't really been an emphasis if we can create cold-water habitat." To test the idea, her team pumped (用泵输送) groundwater from a nearby well into the Wrights River in Nova Scotia. The groundwater was 9 ℃. This created an artificial stream of cool water. It was up to 20℃cooler than the surrounding water. This stream attracted several hundred fish of different life stages and species. These included Atlantic salmon. Most were fry (鱼苗), young still carrying their eggs' yolk sacs. These small fry hung out in the stream throughout the test. But when a heat wave raised river temperatures to about 30℃, older fish took shelter in the stream, too. The team also tried a second approach. They changed the route of some water from the river into an underground trench (沟). Here, the water cooled a bit before flowing back into the river. This method cooled part of the river without needing a pump. The water temperature fell by only a few degrees Celsius this way. But even so, fish were spotted in the cooled flow throughout the summer. 12. What did the team do during the project? A. They raised different fish. B. They made the water cooler. C. They dealt with climate change. D. They developed a lot of streams. 13. What can we know about Atlantic salmon from paragraph 2? A. It dislikes too hot water. B. It dies from other fish’s hunting. C. It is always found in the spring. D. It prefers to live in small streams. 14. Which word can best describe the project? A. Costly. B. Effective. C. Meaningless. D. Historic. 15. What may be the best title for the text? A. Climate change forced fish to escape B. Fish sought cold water to avoid dying C. A project protected fish from the heat D. A team preserved the rivers in Canada 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一项旨在保护冷水鱼类免受气候变暖影响的工程。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“To test the idea, her team pumped(用泵输送) groundwater from a nearby well into the Wrights River in Nova Scotia. The groundwater was 9 ℃. This created an artificial stream of cool water. It was up to 20℃cooler than the surrounding water.(为了测试这个想法，她的团队从附近的一口井中抽取地下水，注入新斯科舍省的赖特斯河。地下水的温度是9℃。这创造了一条人工的冷水流。它的温度比周围的水低达20℃。)”可知，该团队在项目中让水变得更冷。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Fish can become stressed or even die when the water gets too hot. In rivers, Atlantic salmon and other cold-water species sometimes escape the heat by swimming to cooler zones.(当水温过高时，鱼类会变得紧张甚至死亡。在河流中，大西洋鲑鱼和其他冷水物种有时会游到较冷的区域以逃避高温。)”可知，大西洋鲑鱼不喜欢太热的水。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“This stream attracted several hundred fish of different life stages and species. These included Atlantic salmon. Most were fry(鱼苗)，young still carrying their eggs' yolk sacs. These small fry hung out in the stream throughout the test. But when a heat wave raised river temperatures to about 30℃, older fish took shelter in the stream, too.(这条水流吸引了数百条不同生命阶段和种类的鱼。其中包括大西洋鲑鱼。大多数是鱼苗，年轻的还带着卵黄囊。这些小鱼苗在整个测试过程中都在水流中出没。但当热浪使河水温度升至约30℃时，较大的鱼也在水流中避难。)”最后一段“This method cooled part of the river without needing a pump. The water temperature fell by only a few degrees Celsius this way. But even so, fish were spotted in the cooled flow throughout the summer.(这种方法在不需要泵的情况下冷却了河流的一部分。通过这种方式，水温仅下降了几摄氏度。但即便如此，整个夏天都能在冷却的水流中看到鱼)”可知，这个项目有效地吸引了各种鱼类，包括大西洋鲑鱼，在热浪来临时，它们在水流中避难。因此，这个项目是有效的。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Hundreds of fish in Canada beat the heat in human-made streams of cold water. The approach could help protect cold-water species as climate change warms rivers.(在加拿大，数百条鱼在人造冷水流中避暑。这种方法可能有助于保护冷水物种，因为气候变化使河流变暖。)”、第四段“To test the idea, her team pumped(用泵输送) groundwater from a nearby well into the Wrights River in Nova Scotia.

His face was full of the lines of time. His hands held the handlebars with care. He was returning home from the market, and his tricycle was filled with fresh produce. When he was wondering how much he could sell the produce for, he got distracted(思想不集中的) and the tricycle hit a car which was parked by the roadside. The old man's heart sank as he surveyed the long scratch(划痕) damaging the new paintwork of the expensive car. He stood there with worry and regret on his face. He knew the value of such a car and the potential cost of the damage. "I can't afford this," he whispered to himself sadly. Just then, a stranger approached the old man. The stranger, dressed in a sharp suit, looked at the scene and immediately realized the situation. "The paintwork is damaged. Can you afford to pay for the damage?" he asked gently. The old man shook his head and looked down. "No, I can't," he replied. The stranger looked around and spoke in a low tone. "If you can't afford it, why don't you leave? Do you wait for the owner to come?" It was more of a suggestion than a question. A small smile appeared on the stranger's mouth. The old man hesitated, torn between his sense of responsibility and the practicality of the stranger's advice. After a moment of internal struggle, he made his decision. He pulled an old plastic bag out of his pocket. He put all the money inside, which was less than twenty dollars, under the wiper(雨刷) of the car. Then, he felt the scratch on the car with his hands. With one last look at the damaged car, he began to push his tricycle away, glancing back every few steps. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After the old man went away, the stranger took out a car key. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The stranger pulled over and got out of the car. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： After the old man went away, the stranger took out a car key. With a press of a button, the car door opened. The stranger sat in the seat, silent for a moment before remembering all the money under the wiper. He knew it was the old man's hard-earned money from a day's work. So he wanted to return the money to him. Then he started the car and drove in the direction the old man had left. Within a few minutes, he caught up with the old man. The stranger pulled over and got out of the car. The old man recognized him and stopped. The old man was shocked as he saw that the car in front of him was the one he had hit. The stranger walked towards the old man and said, “I am actually the owner of this car. Your sincerity and sense of responsibility have infected me. I must return the money to you. You have left a heavıer mark on my heart than the scratch on the car.” After saying that, the stranger put the money on the old man's tricycle and drove away. 【解析】 【导语】本文以老人和陌生人的故事为线索展开，讲述了老人不小心刮了一辆昂贵汽车，在陌生人建议他离开的情况下，老人仍留下了自己身上所有的钱。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“老人离开后，陌生人拿出一把车钥匙。”可知，第一段可描写陌生人发现老人留下的钱，决定开车追上老人，把钱还给他的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“陌生人把车停在路边，下了车。”可知，第二段可描写陌生人向老人表明自己是车主，并把钱还给老人情景。 2.续写线索：陌生人发现钱——开车追上老人——陌生人表明身份——还钱给老人 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①追上：catch up with/overtake ②停车：pull over/ come to a halt ③看见：see/catch sight of 情绪类 ①震惊：shocked/astonished ②感动：infected/touched 【点睛】[高分句型1].
