The money, the credit cards, the driver’s license, and the social security card in my wallet kept flashing through my mind. Whoever found the wallet could steal my identity, run up huge expenses, and put me in financial danger! My heart was pounding. I felt so flustered that I didn’t go to work, not knowing what to do. Subsequently, I called the credit card companies and canceled my cards. Then I realized that I drove without a license, so I took time off to go to the registry to get a new one. That night, I couldn’t sleep. I had a pain in my chest. I thought I was having a heart attack. After a couple of hours of tests at the hospital, I was told that it was just an anxiety attack. Losing my wallet was no big deal; I just had to cancel the cards, get a new license, and buy a new wallet. I lost a few bills, but so what? However, I was deeply troubled by it. Frankly, we all hate losses. Daniel Kahneman, an Israeli psychologist, found that people are generally more afraid of losing things than they’re eager to gain. This phenomenon is called loss aversion (厌恶). In a typical study, when people were asked if they would rather get $500 for sure or a lottery ticket (彩票) with a 50-50 chance of winning $1000, they generally chose the former. But when they were asked if they would rather lose $500 for sure or get a lottery ticket that offers 50 percent chance of losing$1000, most people chose to take the risk. In both cases, the chances are the same but people’s choices are different. In fact, the emotions associated with loss formed a long time ago. Loss was always frightening and damaging for people then, and it’s still with us. Indeed, that’s why I blew the simple loss of a wallet out of proportion. 4 What happened to the author two months ago? A. He faced a financial crisis. B. He suffered a heart attack. C. He lost his wallet. D. He was blamed by his boss. 5. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “flustered” in paragraph 2? A. Embarrassed. B. Tired. C. Strange. D. Upset. 6. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. It is hard to win the lottery. B. People tend to lose less in order to get more later. C. It is worth taking risks to get a small fortune. D. People prefer avoiding losses to getting possible benefits. 7. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the story? A. To explain what loss aversion is. B. To complain about his misfortune in his life. C. To provide advice on protecting personal property. D. To persuade people to concentrate on their work. C Insecticides (杀虫剂) containing flupyradifurone and sulfoxaflor, chemicals considered harmless to bees and bumblebees when approved, can have damaging effects on the health of honeybees. The chemicals are more likely to make bees suffer from diseases and shorten their lifespan. This was proven in a scientific study that was published in Science of the Total Environment. It was conducted at Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg(MLU) and the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ). For the study, honey bees that were free from environmental influences were first bred (培育) in the lab. “We wanted to control every respect of the bees’ lives,” says Dr. Yahya Al Naggar, the biologist who led the project at MLU and who now works at Tanta University in Egypt. All bees were given the same food at first. They were then divided into several groups and different insecticides were added to their food. One group was given flupyradifurone, while another was given sulfoxaflor. Both chemicals are approved insecticides in Germany, although their use is now limited to greenhouses. Over a period of ten days, the team observed whether the insecticides had any effect on the bees and, if so, what. They found that the insecticides were anything but harmless: Around half of all the bees whose diet included flupyradifurone died during the study. While sulfoxaflor produced similar effects, more bees survived the diet. As the study was conducted in a lab to avoid external influences, it is unclear whether the same results can be found in nature. “The bees might be able to fully or at least partly make up for the negative effects——or the effects of the insecticides could well be even greater,” concludes Dr Tesfaye Wubet from UFZ. With this in mind, the team calls for the potential effects of new insecticides on beneficial insects to be researched better before the insecticides are approved. 8. What did the researchers do in the beginning of the research? A. They raised bees in their lab. B. They measured the bees’ sizes. C. They collected bees from various places. D. They gave the bees different kinds of food. 9 Which of the following would the researchers probably agree on? A. Research on insects should be done in nature. B. The number of bees in nature will greatly drop. C. New insecticides need more research. D. Insecticides should be prevented from being used. 10. Which would be a suitable title for the text? A. Are Bees Really Beneficial Insects? B. Are Approved Insecticides Really Harmless? C. Are Insecticides More Harmful in Nature? D. Are Insecticides on Market Effective? 第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 Gift baskets are a popular gift choice.

We were not sure if we could really raise money by going up to some strangers' houses and asking to make a donation. We sat down on the blue carpeted floor of the band room where everyone was waiting for their name to be called to see which group they were in. Kiley and I looked at each other nervously. Luckily, Mrs Rupert, our orchestra(管弦乐队) teacher, called both of our names and some other girls’ names to bunch us together. Our group stepped out of the band room with an adult who would drive us around the neighborhood. But as another adult handed us sweaters to wear for the day, I didn't want to do that anymore. “Ewww... it’s so ugly!” Kiley commented. “It's huge! Even a dinosaur could fit into this.” Indeed, it was a misty gray color with oversized sleeves and a small logo at the top corner for our Robinson Marching Band. Even so, we forced ourselves into those ugly sweaters and went out to the car. At least we weren’t the only ones that looked funny. All of us in the band had to wear our uniforms which looked really uncomfortable. “OK, girls, here is the neighborhood. You guys will start here and...” I wasn’t paying any attention to what the driver was saying and I could tell Kiley was either. We were just looking out to the houses soon we would have to knock on. Butterflies were flying around in my stomach and I wished that they would be gone. Kiley and I got out of the car and took one side of the neighborhood while the other girls took the other. As Kiley and I approached our first house, we were quickly rehearsing(排练) our speech before we knocked. “OK, you say this and I say that,” Kiley said. “Do you want to start?” I asked. But I could tell Kiley wanted me to start. I was nervous enough already and Kiley had to literally push me to the doorstep. As my hand reached out, I put a big smile on my face hoping that they would make a donation. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 100左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A woman with black hair came to the door. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1--5 BABAC 6--10 CACCA 11--15 CBABC 16--20 AABBB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023—2024学年度第二学期期末教学质量抽测 高一英语试题 本试卷分四部分，共10页。满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡指定位置上。 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。 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，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.

The money, the credit cards, the driver’s license, and the social security card in my wallet kept flashing through my mind. Whoever found the wallet could steal my identity, run up huge expenses, and put me in financial danger! My heart was pounding. I felt so flustered that I didn’t go to work, not knowing what to do. Subsequently, I called the credit card companies and canceled my cards. Then I realized that I drove without a license, so I took time off to go to the registry to get a new one. That night, I couldn’t sleep. I had a pain in my chest. I thought I was having a heart attack. After a couple of hours of tests at the hospital, I was told that it was just an anxiety attack. Losing my wallet was no big deal; I just had to cancel the cards, get a new license, and buy a new wallet. I lost a few bills, but so what? However, I was deeply troubled by it. Frankly, we all hate losses. Daniel Kahneman, an Israeli psychologist, found that people are generally more afraid of losing things than they’re eager to gain. This phenomenon is called loss aversion (厌恶). In a typical study, when people were asked if they would rather get $500 for sure or a lottery ticket (彩票) with a 50-50 chance of winning $1000, they generally chose the former. But when they were asked if they would rather lose $500 for sure or get a lottery ticket that offers 50 percent chance of losing$1000, most people chose to take the risk. In both cases, the chances are the same but people’s choices are different. In fact, the emotions associated with loss formed a long time ago. Loss was always frightening and damaging for people then, and it’s still with us. Indeed, that’s why I blew the simple loss of a wallet out of proportion. 4. What happened to the author two months ago? A. He faced a financial crisis. B. He suffered a heart attack. C. He lost his wallet. D. He was blamed by his boss. 5. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “flustered” in paragraph 2? A. Embarrassed. B. Tired. C. Strange. D. Upset. 6. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. It is hard to win the lottery. B. People tend to lose less in order to get more later. C. It is worth taking risks to get a small fortune. D. People prefer avoiding losses to getting possible benefits. 7. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the story? A. To explain what loss aversion is. B. To complain about his misfortune in his life. C. To provide advice on protecting personal property. D. To persuade people to concentrate on their work. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章作者通过自身丢钱包经历，解释了什么是损失厌恶。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Two months ago, I went crazy when I looked for the wallet I’d lost.(两个月前，当我寻找丢失的钱包时，我发疯了)”可知，两个月前作者丢了钱包。故选C。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“that I didn’t go to work, not knowing what to do”以及第二段“Subsequently, I called the credit card companies and canceled my cards.

This phenomenon is called loss aversion (厌恶).(以色列心理学家丹尼尔·卡尼曼发现，人们通常更害怕失去东西，而不是渴望得到东西。这种现象被称为损失厌恶)”可知，人们宁愿避免损失，也不愿获得可能的利益。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Frankly, we all hate losses.

The chemicals are more likely to make bees suffer from diseases and shorten their lifespan. This was proven in a scientific study that was published in Science of the Total Environment. It was conducted at Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg(MLU) and the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ). For the study, honey bees that were free from environmental influences were first bred (培育) in the lab. “We wanted to control every respect of the bees’ lives,” says Dr. Yahya Al Naggar, the biologist who led the project at MLU and who now works at Tanta University in Egypt. All bees were given the same food at first. They were then divided into several groups and different insecticides were added to their food. One group was given flupyradifurone, while another was given sulfoxaflor. Both chemicals are approved insecticides in Germany, although their use is now limited to greenhouses. Over a period of ten days, the team observed whether the insecticides had any effect on the bees and, if so, what. They found that the insecticides were anything but harmless: Around half of all the bees whose diet included flupyradifurone died during the study. While sulfoxaflor produced similar effects, more bees survived the diet. As the study was conducted in a lab to avoid external influences, it is unclear whether the same results can be found in nature. “The bees might be able to fully or at least partly make up for the negative effects——or the effects of the insecticides could well be even greater,” concludes Dr Tesfaye Wubet from UFZ. With this in mind, the team calls for the potential effects of new insecticides on beneficial insects to be researched better before the insecticides are approved. 8. What did the researchers do in the beginning of the research? A. They raised bees in their lab. B. They measured the bees’ sizes. C. They collected bees from various places. D. They gave the bees different kinds of food. 9. Which of the following would the researchers probably agree on? A. Research on insects should be done in nature. B. The number of bees in nature will greatly drop. C. New insecticides need more research. D. Insecticides should be prevented from being used. 10. Which would be a suitable title for the text? A. Are Bees Really Beneficial Insects? B. Are Approved Insecticides Really Harmless? C. Are Insecticides More Harmful in Nature? D. Are Insecticides on Market Effective? 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道，文章主要讲述了研究发现被认为对蜜蜂无害的杀虫剂实际上对其健康造成负面影响，呼吁在批准新的杀虫剂之前进行更全面的研究。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“For the study, honey bees that were free from environmental influences were first bred in the lab. (在这项研究中，首先在实验室培育了不受环境影响的蜜蜂。)”可知，研究人员在研究之初在实验室里养蜜蜂。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“With this in mind, the team calls for the potential effects of new insecticides on beneficial insects to be researched better before the insecticides are approved. (考虑到这一点，该团队呼吁在批准杀虫剂之前，对新杀虫剂对有益昆虫的潜在影响进行更好的研究。) ”可知，研究人员认为新的杀虫剂需要更多的研究。故选C。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段的“Insecticides containing flupyradifurone and sulfoxaflor, chemicals considered harmless to bees and bumblebees when approved, can have damaging effects on the health of honeybees. The chemicals are more likely to make bees suffer from diseases and shorten their lifespan. This was proven in a scientific study that was published in Science of the Total Environment.

(考虑到这一点，该团队呼吁在批准杀虫剂之前，对新杀虫剂对有益昆虫的潜在影响进行更好的研究。) ”可知，被认为对蜜蜂和大黄蜂无害的杀虫剂实际上会对蜜蜂的健康和寿命产生破坏性影响，本文对已批准的杀虫剂安全性提出了质疑，因此B项(批准使用的杀虫剂真的无害吗？)适合作为标题。故选B。 第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 Gift baskets are a popular gift choice.

We visited several inheritors, including a local calligraphy master, a traditional music performer and a skilled pottery maker. From them, we witnessed their dedication to the preservation of these time-honored arts and felt deeply inspired by their commitment to passing down these traditions to future generations.

We were not sure if we could really raise money by going up to some strangers' houses and asking to make a donation. We sat down on the blue carpeted floor of the band room where everyone was waiting for their name to be called to see which group they were in. Kiley and I looked at each other nervously. Luckily, Mrs Rupert, our orchestra(管弦乐队) teacher, called both of our names and some other girls’ names to bunch us together. Our group stepped out of the band room with an adult who would drive us around the neighborhood. But as another adult handed us sweaters to wear for the day, I didn't want to do that anymore. “Ewww... it’s so ugly!” Kiley commented. “It's huge! Even a dinosaur could fit into this.” Indeed, it was a misty gray color with oversized sleeves and a small logo at the top corner for our Robinson Marching Band. Even so, we forced ourselves into those ugly sweaters and went out to the car. At least we weren’t the only ones that looked funny. All of us in the band had to wear our uniforms which looked really uncomfortable. “OK, girls, here is the neighborhood. You guys will start here and...” I wasn’t paying any attention to what the driver was saying and I could tell Kiley was either. We were just looking out to the houses soon we would have to knock on. Butterflies were flying around in my stomach and I wished that they would be gone. Kiley and I got out of the car and took one side of the neighborhood while the other girls took the other. As Kiley and I approached our first house, we were quickly rehearsing(排练) our speech before we knocked. “OK, you say this and I say that,” Kiley said. “Do you want to start?” I asked. But I could tell Kiley wanted me to start. I was nervous enough already and Kiley had to literally push me to the doorstep. As my hand reached out, I put a big smile on my face hoping that they would make a donation. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 100左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A woman with black hair came to the door. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A woman with black hair came to the door. She looked middle-aged, just waiting for us to say something. “Hi, we are from the Robinson Marching Band!” I looked at Kiley, expecting she would say the rest, but she was too nervous to move. I had to continue. “We would really appreciate it if you would make a donation on Tag Day.” I feared the answer would be no. To my great surprise, the woman said OK without hesitation and handed over ten dollars to us. We couldn’t believe we had just done it, screaming excitedly and expressing our gratitude. Now we were confident enough to approach each house. We had a fun time running for charity and laughing along. I was already planning on doing this the next year and I was sure that I would be more confident. 【解析】 【导语】本文以故事发展的顺序为线索展开，讲述了两位女孩作者和凯莉第一次参加募捐日活动的经历。她们起初对能否通过拜访陌生人的家庭并请求捐款感到不确定，但在音乐教室里等待分组时，她们被分到了一组，并由一位成人带领驱车到附近的社区。尽管她们觉得发放的毛衣很丑，却还是穿上了准备出发。她们和其他组员穿着不舒服的制服，开始逐家敲门请求捐款的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写：由首句内容“一个黑发女人走到门口。”可知，下文可描写“我和凯莉紧张地与这位女士进行对话，原以为她会拒绝我们，但却非常爽快地答应捐款，为此我们感到开心，决定以后还会为慈善事业而筹集善款”的相关细节。 2.续写线索：黑发女子开门迎接——作者和凯莉很是紧张——征求女士的捐款想法——女士毫不犹豫地答应——作者和凯莉感到快乐——继续慈善筹款活动 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①表达：express/convey ②期待：expect/anticipate 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/amazement ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】I looked at Kiley, expecting she would say the rest, but she was too nervous to move.(使用了现在分词作状语) 【高分句型2】We would really appreciate it if you would make a donation on Tag Day.(使用了宾语从句，it是形式宾语) 听力1--5 BABAC 6--10 CACCA 11--15 CBABC 16--20 AABBB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
