The discovery of diamonds here around 100 years ago caused this remote place to experience a boom(繁荣), and in no time at all, an entire town revealed itself out of the sand. Not only was there a hospital, a power plant and a theatre, but also an ice factory and a swimming pool---all in the middle of the desert. The Aniva lighthouse Built by the Japanese on a small island between Japan and Russia, the Anival lighthouse and its island went to the Russians after the Second World War. Though dynamic once, the nine-storey building has lain abandoned for years. Where once noisy diesel(柴油)generators kept the machinery running, today there’s only the sound of waves hitting the rocks. Houtouwan Houtouwan on Shengshan Island was once home to around 2,000 fishermen and their families. Today most of the people you meet in this Chinese village are tourists. The majority of the inhabitants(居民)left for the mainland in the early 1990s. Reasons for the near total abandonment include shortage of food delivery. The Igloo Hotel This resort has never seen a paying guest! The Igloo Hotel in Alaska, US was primarily meant to attract visitors from the nearby Denali National Park. However, the builder didn’t observe official building regulations and also chose a location that was too remote, so the hotel was never completed. The half-finished building however, continues to suffer wind and weather half a century later. 21. What caused people’s interest in Kolmanskop? A. The hospital. B. Diamonds. C. The theatre. D. The swimming pool. 22. Which of the following was abandoned because of lack of food? A. Kolmanskop. B. The Aniva lighthouse. C. Houtouwan. D. The Igloo Hotel in Alaska. 23. What’s the biggest difference between The Igloo Hotel and the other three places? A. It was remote. B. It doesn’t exist now. C. It was undone. D. It has no visitors. B As the daughter of immigrants(移民), Chanthaphone’s primary language at home was Lao. At 5, she learned to speak English. But she didn’t know how to read and write---let alone how to fit in at school or communicate with classmates. Mrs. Lewis, Chanthaphone’s second-grade teacher, changed everything. She taught her students that it was OK if they did not know English and it was all right for them to use words in their home language to explain how they were feeling and thinking. Chanthaphone got more and more confidence and wanted to do what her teacher did in the future. Now, at 26, Chanthaphone is an English teacher at Fort Worth ISDs William Monnig Middle School. Like Mrs. Lewis, Chanthaphone aims to help her non-English-speaking students to gain the confidence they need to realize their potential(潜力) in life. At the beginning of each school year, Chanthaphone shares her story with her new classes. She tells them she knows what it feels like not to want to participate in class or raise her hand. She reminds them that she once sat in their seat and felt different because of her upbringing. But she stresses that's what makes each of them special. Her students, though, are usually not persuaded. She has to take out photos of her graduating college and tell them about her parents and what her school was like. Then it finally clicks. In the classroom, Chanthaphone allows students to communicate in whichever way they feel most comfortable. For some, it may be raising their hands and voicing their thoughts. For others, it may be writing their thoughts on a piece of paper and handing it to Chanthaphone. However, Chanthaphone does encourage her students to go out of their comfort zone. She wants them to work with students they don't know because teamwork and collaboration(协作)with unfamiliar people is important. “I’ve always wanted to be the teacher who supported students and advocated for them in and outside of classroom,” Chanthaphone said. “When I get notes or see Facebook posts from parents talking about previous teachers, including me, I feel like my goal has been completed.” 24. What do you know about Mrs. Lewis? A. She is inspiring. B. She is ambitious. C. She is knowledgeable. D. She is demanding. 25. Why does Chanthaphone tell her schooling experience to her new students? A. To push the students to voice their thoughts. B. To make herself well known to her students. C. To make a good beginning of her class. D. To encourage her students to be confident. 26. What does Chanthaphone focus on in the classroom? A. Students’ strong curiosity. B. Students’ mental health. C. Students’ communicating ability. D. Students’ unique talent. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. You Are the Only One B. I Was Once Like You C. No One Can Say No to You D. Hard Work Pays Off C LyricJam, a real-time system that uses artificial intelligence (Al) to produce lyrics(歌词) for live instrumental music, was created by members of the University’s Natural Language Processing Lab. The lab, led by Olga Vechtomova, a Waterloo Engineering professor in Computer Science, worked on the creation of a system that learns musical expressions of artists and generates lyrics in their style. Meanwhile, the lyrics could reflect the moods and emotions expressed by live music. As a musician or a band plays instrumental music, the system continuously receives the raw audio clips(音频片段），which the neural(神经的)network processes to generate new lyric lines. The artists can then use the lines to create their own song lyrics. The neural network designed by the researchers learns what lyrical themes, words and stylistic devices are associated with different aspects of music in each audio clip. “The purpose of the system is not to write a song for the artist,” Vechtomova explains. “Instead, we want to help artists realize their own creativity. The system produces poetic lines with new metaphors and expressions, potentially leading the artists in creative directions that they haven’t explored before. The research team conducted a user study, inviting musicians to play live instruments while using the system. “One unexpected finding was that participants felt encouraged by the produced lyrics to improvise(即兴创作），” Vechtomova said. “For example, the lyrics inspired artists to take their improvisation in a new direction. Some musicians also used the lyrics to check if their improvisation had the desired emotional effect.” Participants commented that they viewed the system as a partner and felt inspired to play their musical instruments even if they were not actively trying to write lyrics. Since LyricJam went live, plenty of users worldwide have tried it out. 28. What is special about LyricJam? A. It combines audio clips with lyrics. B. It can produce personalized lyrics. C. It uses high-tech to perfect lyrics. D. It is created by Olga Vechtomova. 29. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. How the system plays music. B. How a band holds a concert. C. How LyricJam functions. D. How an artist explores music. 30. Why did the research team create LyricJam? A. To challenge the creativity of artists. B. To attract audience to the concert. C. To make live concerts more entertaining. D. To motivate artists’ inspiration. 31. What is the users' attitude towards LyricJam? A. Favorable. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Pessimistic. D Many people believe that working to the maximum is the secret to success, but research has found that moderation(适度)also gets results on the job. In a study led by Ellen Langer of Harvard University, researchers asked people to translate sentences into a new made-up language. Subjects who practiced the language moderately beforehand made fewer errors than those who practiced a great deal or not at all. High levels of knowledge can make people too attached to traditional ways of viewing problems across fields of the arts, sciences, and politics. High conscientiousness(责任心) is related to lower job performance, especially in simple jobs where it doesn’t pay to be a perfectionist. How long we stay on the clock and how we spend that time are under careful examination in many workplaces. The young banker who eats lunch at his desk is probably seen as a go-getter, while his colleagues who chat over a relaxed conference-room meal get dirty looks from the corner office.“People from cultures that value relationships more than ours does are shocked by the thought of eating alone in front of a computer,”says Art Markman, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas, Austin. Social interaction has been shown to lift mood and get people thinking in new directions and in ways that could help improve any post-lunch effort. Markman also promotes off-task time. “Part of being a good thinker is experiencing things that are seemingly unrelated to what you are working on at the moment but give you fresh ideas about your work,” he says. “Also, there is a lot of research showing that a positive mood leads to higher levels of productivity and creativity. So, when people do things to increase their life satisfaction, they also make themselves more effective at work.” 32. What does Ellen Langer's study show? A. It is worthwhile to be a perfectionist. B. Translation makes people knowledgeable. C. Moderate effort produces the best result. D. Simpler jobs require greater caution. 33. The underlined word “go-getter” in paragraph 3 refers to someone who ________. A. works hard to become successful B. is good at handling pressure C. has a natural talent for his job D. gets on well with his co-workers 34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. A good thinker is able to inspire other people. B. Experience unrelated to your job is useless. C. Focusing on what you do raises productivity. D. A cheerful mood helps make a creative mind. 35. What does the text seem to support? A. Balance between work and family. B. Middle-of-the-road work habits. C. Long-standing cultural traditions. D. Harmony in the work environment. 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。 Singapore’s tradition of eating out in places called Hawker centers is now recognized by the United Nations for its cultural importance. 36 A hawker is a person who sells food or goods and advertises by shouting at people walking by on the street. Hawkers are an important part of Singaporean culture. Open-air eating areas where hawkers sell their goods are very popular in this city. Famous chefs, such as Anthony Bourdain and Gordon Ramsay have praised them. 37 On December 16, the United Nations’ cultural agency, UNESCO, added the city’s “hawker culture” to its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Singapore sought to have hawker culture added to the list about two years ago. Now that it has been recognized, Singapore must provide a report every six years to UNESCO. 38 “These centers serve as community dining rooms where people from diverse backgrounds gather and share the experience of dining over breakfast, lunch and dinner,” UNESCO said. In the 1970s, Singapore cleaned up its streets so the city moved street hawkers to new eating centers. 39 Now, the centers offer many different low-cost meals for local people and provide a pleasing social setting. 1 40 The average age of a hawker in Singapore is 60 years old. Younger Singaporeans now want to work in offices. They are less interested in working in small restaurants. The COVID-19 health crisis also hurt sales, making eating out unavailable for foreign visitors and local people. A. And they appear in popular films like Crazy Rich Asians. B. Singapore’s President Halimah Yacob posted the news on the Internet. C. Here are our top hawker food center picks and the best bites you simply have to try. D. Hawker culture has shaped the Singaporean identity in many ways. E. But Singapore’s hawker culture does face difficulties. F. These areas were part of an effort to improve the island. G. The report must show efforts that the city-state has made to save and support its hawker culture. 第三部分 语言运用 ( 共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My friend Jennifer was going to be at my school!

He sighed. “This is just typical! School holidays and it rains!” His younger sister, Hannah, didn’t answer and carried on rolling around the floor with Grandma’s dog, Mac. A moment later, the door opened and 16-year-old Sophie, headphones glued as usual to her ears, bounded upstairs. Mac certainly needed no second chance and was out of the room and into the garden before Hannah could get to her feet. Winston yelled, “We’re supposed to keep him in. He doesn’t know his way around this end of town.” Grabbing two coats, Hannah joined her brother on the step, just in time to see the black and white dog walked slowly up the road. “No time to leave a note to Mom,” Winston decided, taking charge. “Let’s get him. The last thing Grandma needs to know when she’s in hospital is that we’ve lost her dog,” he added. The two children rushed toward Mac. Wagging（摆动）his tail energetically, he raced off toward the park. Mac led them toward the gateway to the town park and set off at once toward the duck pond. Winston and Hannah were close behind but cannoned（猛撞）round the corner straight into a woman pushing a baby carriage. “Watch where you are going,” she yelled. “Sorry,” they said. “I can’t see Mac any more,” Winston announced when the woman had gone on her way. A few minutes of racing along the paths in the park finally convinced the children that they had lost Mac. “We’re never going to find him by ourselves,” Hannah said. “A bus! Come on! Let’s go home and phone Mom,” Winston shouted. Before Hannah could argue, he had pulled his sister onto the bus and paid their fares. Later, Hannah did try to tell him that the bus was going the wrong way but by then it was too much late. They both realized they were going east instead of west. Hannah burst into tears. She cried, “I’m cold. I’m scared because we’ll be in real trouble now. We’ve lost Mac!” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: The bus turned around a corner and a small house came into view. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: They rode the bus home with the dog. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高一 （英语）试题 第1页（共14页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 郑州一中2022～2023学年下学期期中考试 25届 高一英语参考答案 1、 选择题：本题共55小题，共95分。 1.听力：共20小题，每小题1.5分，共30分。 1-5.

Strictly speaking, Chinese people attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve, when all family members eat dinner together and enjoy the Spring Festival Gala. As for me, I love the Spring Festival most because it symbolizes unity, prosperity and new hopes for the future. Plus, not only can I set off fireworks during the festival, but I can also get lucky money as a New year’s gift! To conclude, the Spring Festival bears unique significance for every Chinese. Hope the excitement of the celebration will reach more people across the world. One possible version: The bus turned a corner and a small house came into view. “Oh look,” said Winston. “Grandma’s house. Oh…” He stared in amazement at a small, very wet and black and white dog sitting on the doorstep, waiting patiently. The children got off the bus at the next stop and charged back up the road. “Mac!” screamed Hannah, “We found you! You came home.” Winston said, “Poor Mac. He must miss Grandma. Let’s get him home and dry him off.” They rode the bus home with the dog. They were in the kitchen drying Mac off when the phone rang. It was Grandma. She said, “I just have to phone and see if poor old Mac is alright. I’m so worried about him.” Winston and Hannah looked at each other. Winston shook his head. Hannah nodded. “Oh, you mustn’t worry, Grandma,” Hannah said brightly. “He’s had a lovely day. No trouble at all!” 高一 英语参考答案 第 页 (共2页)3 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
