B My husband and I always wanted to go to the Caribbean but didn't know much about the islands or how we were going to afford it. By chance, a friend of ours in Australia mentioned ―pet sitting‖ and that it is something you can do all over the world. We quickly created an account on a pet sitting website and began searching for options. There were only a couple of sits available in that part of the world, but we tried our luck, sent a request, and to our surprise landed a three-month job in Grenada, so our year was going to be taken up with Caribbean pet sits. Inspired by a Canadian couple, we decided to start our own travel blog. We began by writing about The Virgin Islands, highlighting the beautiful beaches. However, for every photo album of a beautiful beach, there were 10 photos of trash (垃圾).It was hard to ignore the plastic pollution issue, especially on such primitive and remote beaches. So, we began to share photos of the trash we saw and how much we could pick up on our daily dog walks. The more we looked into plastic pollution, the more we realized the severity of the global plastic pollution. From that point, we used our platform to create awareness and highlight ways to say no to plastic and travel plastic-free. We changed our daily routines, our way of living, and even our diets to accommodate more organic foods and little to no plastic packaging. It's been over three years now and we continue to do what we can. This journey has led us to some amazing places, working with great brands and even organizing a country-wide beach clean-up campaign in Grenada. Our aim now is to keep on going. We love connecting with like-minded people. It's been amazing few years that was sparked by a conversation about pet sitting. Who would have guessed? 24. Why did the author do pet sitting? A. To raise fund. B. To protect the environment. C. To shoot beautiful beaches. D. To cover travel spending. 25. What does the author intend to convey through her story? A. Action should be taken to fight plastic pollution. B. The Caribbean is an ideal travel destination. C. Travel blog is a superb way to gain popularity. D.Pet sitting is a new type of occupation. 26. How did the author find her experience in the Caribbean? A.Terrible. B. Challenging. C. Adventurous. D. Significant. 27. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Changing Lifestyles by Pet Sitting. B. Dealing with Global Environment Pollution. C. Unexpected Gains from Pet Sitting Travel. 高一英语试卷第 4 页 4 D. The Availability of Pet Sitting in the Caribbean. C Mark Temple, a medical molecular (分子的) biologist, used to spend a lot of time in his lab researching new drugs for cancer treatments. He would extract DNA from cells and then add a drug to see where it was binding (结合) along the chemical sequence(序列). Before he introduced the drug, he‘d look at DNA combination on a screen to see what might work best for the experiment, but the visual readout of the sequences was often unimaginably large. So Temple wondered if there was an easier way to detect favorable patterns. ―I realized I wanted to hear the sequence,‖ says Temple, who is also a musician. He started his own system of assigning notes to the different elements of DNA—human DNA is made of four distinct bases, so it was easy to start off with four notes—and made a little tune out of his materials. This trick indeed helped him better spot patterns in the sequences, which allowed him to make better choices about which DNA combinations to use. Temple isn‘t the first person to turn scientific data into sound. In the past 40 years, researchers have gone from exploring this trick as a fun way to spot patterns in their studies to using it as a guide to discovery. And the scientific community has come to realize that there‘s some long-term value in this type of work. Temple, who from that first experiment has created his own algorithmic software to turn data into sound, believes the resulting music can be used to improve research and science communication. So Temple decided to add layers of sound to make the sonification (可听化) into songs. He sees a clear difference between ―sonification‖ and ―musification‖. Using sound to represent data is scientific, but very different from using creative input to make songs. The musical notes from DNA may be melodic to the human ear, but they don‘t sound like a song you‘d listen to on the radio. So when he tried to sonify the virus, he added layers of drums and guitar, and had some musician friends add their own music to turn the virus into a full-blown post-rock song. Temple sees this work as an effective communication tool that will help a general audience understand complex systems in biology. He has performed his songs in public at concert halls in Australia. 28. What is Mark Temple‘s purpose in turning DNA data into sound? A. To aid the process of his experiments. B. To develop his creative ability. C. To make his drug more powerful. D. To help him fight boredom. 29. What can we learn about Temple‘s system? A. Its effect remains to be seen. B. It has produced satisfying results. C. It is too complicated to operate. D. It failed to work as expected. 30. Why did Temple try to make the virus sound like real music when sonifying it? A. To enhance people‘s understanding of science. B. To show his talent in producing music. C. To get rid of public fear of the virus. D. To remind people of the role of science in art creation. 31. What does the text mainly talk about? A.Why music can be the best way to present science. B. How scientists help the public understand science. C.Why scientists are turning molecules(分子) into music. D. How music helps scientists conduct their research. D ―It's not unusual for guests to feel emotional when they discover the story behind our food,‖ says Patrick Navis. ―Not to mention when they taste it. One even cried with happiness.‖ The setting for these 高一英语试卷第 5 页 5 tearful scenes? Navis's restaurant in a Dutch city. Here, the owner and his team create experimental food using herbs, roots, flowers and nuts—some common, others less so. Most of these ingredients come from the Ketelbroek Food Forest nearby. To the untrained eye, it's like an ordinary wood. But there's one key difference: everything in it is edible（可食用的）. It was set up in 2009 by Dutch botanist and environmentalist Noah Eck as an experiment in slow farming, to see what would happen if the right combination of food plants were left to grow together like a natural forest, without chemicals. “It's the first ‗food forest‘ of its kind in Europe and we‘re one of the few restaurants around the world cooperating in this way,”says Navis.“We have over 400 different species of edible plants we plan our menus around, including some we previously knew little about." He harvests the ingredients and, with his fellow chefs, works them into beautifully presented tasting menus, served in a dining room hidden in the backstreets of the city, “To us, fine dining is not about the fame of a restaurant, its location, expensive decoration, fancy cooking and wine list,”says Navis.“It's about adding value through creativity and using ingredients nobody knows of, which are grown with great attention.”However, he adds, luxury cooking can be about enhancing everyday ingredients, too. “When looking at cooking in this way, who can argue that caviar(鱼子酱 ), for example, is more valuable than a carrot grown with specialist knowledge?” Experimentation is extremely important to Navis. In the next five years, he hopes to open an outdoor restaurant. But for now, the most important thing is to continue focusing on how plants are being grown and the perennial system used in the Food Forest, reducing the need for replanting each season. 32 What can we learn about Navis's restaurant? A.It is known for its rare food sources. B. It serves food with moving stories. C. It offers experimental food for free. D. It is well received by its guests. 33. How is Ketelbrock Food Forest different from ordinary woods? A. It is a natural forest. B. Diverse plants coexist in it. C. It provides safe food ingredients. D. Plants there take longer to grow. 34. What is the key element of fine dining according to Navis? A. Convenient locations. B. Expensive ingredients. C. Innovative menus. D. Fancy cooking techniques. 35. What does ―the perennial system‖ in the last paragraph probably refer to? A. Farming with proper use of chemicals. B. The sustainable farming practice. C. Natural farming without human intervention. D. An experimental farm for an outdoor restaurant. 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。 As a high school student, you‘re likely used to learning through reading textbooks. 36 This lies at the heart of ―experiential(由经验得来的) appreciation,‖ a philosophy that encourages you to engage directly with the world around you. It‘s about learning from real-life experiences, and discovering a more profound and engaging way to learn. To practice experiential appreciation, you can start by getting involved in hands-on activities related to your subjects. They will provide a firsthand understanding of the concepts you‘re studying, making learning active and meaningful. So, try joining a sports team, picking up a paintbrush, or taking part in a local charity event. 37 As you dive deeper, immerse (沉浸) yourself fully in the surroundings and activities. When you‘re in nature, don‘t just look around. 38 Touching the leaves, feeling the wind and listening to the birds can enrich your learning and make each moment more memorable. 高一英语试卷第 6 页 6 39 After trying something new, ask yourself what you learned and how it made you feel. Write in a journal or discuss it with friends. This self-discovery turns experiences into life lessons and offers a deeper understanding of the world. Experiential appreciation transforms learning from a task to be completed into a journey to be treasured. 40 So, explore the world around you, let every experience shape you, and discover the endless possibilities that await. This is the core of true learning, where every moment is a step towards a richer, more enlightened life. A.Now consider expanding your learning from just reading to actively participating. B.It extends learning far beyond textbooks. C.Instead, activate your senses for a stronger tie with it. D.Mind the impact of your actions on the environment. E.Take your experiences further by reflecting on them. F.Textbooks offer a systematic introduction to essential concepts and principles. G.These activities bring learning to life. 第三部分 语言运用 (共五节，满分 55 分) 第一节 （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。 What do you do with an orchid (兰花) after its petals have fallen off? 41 you‘re an expert on growing these plants, you may find that they never bloom (开花) for you again.

I usually put the green leafed plants outside, and I‘ve even tried putting them in the ground a couple of times, but in vain.

A few of the plants were moved to a table in the living room, and some others were 46 on the kitchen window.

He had been swimming in the Matawan River by himself. But he had the idea that someone or something was watching him. And then he saw a large gray fin(鳍) slicing through the water like a knife. What was that? Could it be a shark? That was impossible! Elm Hills was miles and miles from the ocean. How could a shark find its way into this little river? But now Chet could see it coming toward him. The shark was bigger than Chet himself. The black eyes staring up through the water-killer eyes. Chet dived toward the shore, pounding through the water and kicking with all his might. His feet touched the bottom. He was running now, looking over his shoulder. The shark was right behind him, its huge jaws wide open and its white teeth shining in its blooded mouth. Those killer eyes stared at Chet. And then, with a flick of its tail, the shark pushed itself backward into the water, and disappeared down the river. Chet rose to his knees and threw up. When he could stand, he suddenly noticed his friends, Sid, Monty and Dewey, standing on the dock(码头). Before he could stop them, they had dived into the water. ―Get out of the water！‖ he screamed. ―Get out! Get out now！‖ He thundered down the path and onto the dock. ―You have to get out! There's a shark！‖ ―You hear that, Monty？‖ Sid said. ―There's a shark in the river! We'd better get out.‖ Sid lifted himself up on the dock and took a running leap off the edge of the dock. He jumped into the river with such an enormous splash that Chet got thoroughly wet. Monty and Dewey dived in after him. ―Oh shaaaaaaa-rrrrrrrk！‖ Sid called through cupped hands. ―Here, shark! Come and get us！‖ They laughed, and Chet stood there, totally helpless. But then he noticed Sid, strangely still in the river. With worries and horror welling up in Chet's heart, he could not help yelling out: ―Sid, are you ok?‖ His voice was shaking despite all his efforts to control his nervousness. Sensing something unusual, Monty and Dewey stopped swimming and waited for Sid's answer. At that moment, air around them seemed to be frozen until Sid's scream broke the silence: ― A shark!‖ Monty and Dewey finally believed Chat's words and began to swim back to the dock. Chet hurried to pull them up, but Sid was too scared to move an inch. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 80-100 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Before he had a chance to think, Chet was in the water, leaving Monty and Dewey on the dock. ____________________________▲________________________________________________ ______________________________________________▲___________________________________ ___________________________________________________▲___________________ 答案第 1 页 参考答案 听力（30分） 1-5 ABCCA 6-10 ABABC 11-15 CBABB 16-20 CACCA 阅读（50分） 21-23 ACA 24-27 DADC 28-31 ABAC 32-35 DCCB 七选五 36-40 AGCEB 完形填空（15分） 41-45 BADBA 46-50 CDBBB 51-55 DACAD 短文填空（15分） 56. providing 57. who 58. with 59. has been 60. and 61. uses 62. involved 63. decided 64. closeness 65. an 单词拼写（10分） 1.Postponing 2 illustrated 3. expansion 4. granted 5. version 6. sufficient 7. conducted 8. ignorance 9. atmosphere 10. stimulates 应用文（15分） A Food Festival In order to enrich our campus life, our school held a food festival in the dining hall last Sunday. During the event, a variety of activities were organized .It started with a speech delivered by our headmaster on the charm of tradition food. What impressed most was that some students from our school made many famous traditional dishes like dim sum and dumplings,which were of different shapes and inviting. Other students enjoyed the delicious food and learned how to cook . I benefit a lot from the food festival ,which not only improves our practical life skills but also deepens our understanding of the culture behind Chinese food. 读后续写（15分） Before he had a chance to think, Chet was in the water, leaving Monty and Dewey on the dock. He swam as fast as he could toward Sid and beat the water like crazy, trying to scare away the shark. Meanwhile, he grabbed hold of Sid’s arm and pulled him. The shark followed closely behind. Monty and Dewey on the dock threw stones at the shark to distract it. No sooner had Chet and Sid been out of water than the shark arrived. They all lay on the dock, weak and tired but relieved. The three boys expressed their gratitude to Chet for their narrow escape. 答案第 2 页 听力原文 Text 1 M: Excuse me, I just want to check the boarding gate for 86 to London. Is it Gate 22?

I want you to go home and change a few things about your routine. Then I’ll see you in a few weeks and see how you’re doing. Okay? Right. First of all, you’re probably tired because you’re not getting enough sleep. People of sixteen years old ought to sleep for about seven or eight hours a night, all right? But you only sleep for four. So try to go to bed a little earlier. Secondly, you should start to do some exercise. Go for a short run every day or go swimming. Anything that gives your bodies an exercise, right? Then there’s the eating. It’s not a good idea to eat just before sleeping, and you certainly ought not to drink coffee before going to bed. Coffee will keep you awake, and you shouldn’t worry so much about school work. All the problems can be solved quite easily. If you do take my advice, you’ll sleep better. If you’re sleeping well, you won’t be tired in the day, and then your school work will improve.
