How did this nickname come about? Although uses of the phrase are documented in the early 1900s, the term first became popular in the 1920s when John J. Fitz Gerald, a sports writer, started a column about horse racing called “Around the Big Apple”. Geneva: the Peace Capital Geneva, the second most populous city in Switzerland, is a city known for its diplomacy（外交）. Geneva is not only home to the European headquarters for the United Nations but also where international organizations, such as the Red Cross, were founded and where the Geneva Conventions, a series of treaties (条约) for reducing the effects of war on soldiers and civilians, were signed. It seems fitting. then, that Geneva is known as ”the Peace Capital”. Toronto: Muddy York “Muddy York” sounds like a nickname that would be better suited for New York when it’s raining. But it’s actually a nickname for the city of Toronto in Canada. “Muddy York” is now not as popular as it used to be, but the nickname refers to a time in Toronto’s history when there was no 青铜峡市宁朔中学 2024-2025 学年第一学期 高三年级英语开学考试卷 命题人： (时间：120 分钟 满分：150 分) 高三英语 第 2页（共 4页） drainage system or sewers(下水道). The “York” part actually goes back to when Toronto was first colonized, and its name was “Town of York” to honor Prince Frederick, duke of York. Now, the nickname “Muddy York” represents the early years of this Canadian city. Sydney: Harbour City Located on the southeastern coast of Australia, Sydney is a city that takes advantage of its location. Once a major port city, Sydney is sometimes called “Harbour City”, in honor of this prime real estate. People enjoy hitting the beach to go surfing or diving, and one of the most recognizable buildings, the Sydney Opera House, is right on the harbor! 21.

D. Because it represented the early years of this Canadian city. B A group of planners, scientists and engineers in charge of China’s Chang’e 5 robotic lunar mission have received the highest team award from the International Academy of Astronautics. At the academy’s annual conference on Sunday in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, the Chinese team was awarded the 2023 Laurels for TeamAchievement Award. Hu Hao, chief designer of the Chang’e 5 mission and a senior planner at the China National Space Administration, said at the ceremony that he hopes more scientists and engineers from the international space community could take part in China’s lunar exploration projects. He also added that the samples retrieved (回收) by the Chang’e 5 probe will soon be open to foreign researchers. One of the world’s most notable space activities in 2020, the Chang’e 5 robotic mission was launched in November 2020. It was China’s first lunar sample-returning mission and one of its most complex and challenging space attempts. The landmark mission returned 1,731 grams of rocks and soil back to Earth on Dee 17, 2020, presenting the first lunar substances to humans since the Apollo era. On the certificate awarded to the Chinese team, the academy wrote that during the 23-day mission, the Chang’e-5 team successfully completed the complicated mission which included a rocket launch, lunar-Earth transfer, lunar sampling, lunar surface takeoff, rendezvous and docking, sample transfer, skip re-entry and many other processes, and obtained two types of lunar samples. It noted the Chinese team has made outstanding contributions to mankind’s lunar and deep-space exploration. 24. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. An advertisement of a robotic lunar company. B. A research on Chinese lunar exploration. C. A news report about an international awarding ceremony. D. A review of the International Academy of Astronautics. 25. What can we infer from Hu Hao’s words? A. China National Space Administration will soon be open to the world. B. China has made a difference to international space community. C. China encourages cooperation and sharing in exploring the moon. D. Chang’e 5 probe will soon continue its mission. 26. What can we know from the Chang’e 5 robotic mission? A. It marks the world’s first lunar sample-returning mission. B. It contains various missions except for sample transfer. C. It was launched on December 2020. D. It’s a complex space exploration. 27. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Amazing Lunar Adventures: A Fairy Tale Has Come True B. Hu Hao: A Pioneer in Chinese Lunar exploration C. Challenging Ways to Returning the First Lunar Sample D. The Impact of International Academy of Astronautics C We will soon enter the Year of the Dragon. Or should that be the Year of the Loong? That is a question that has aroused heated debate. Influenced by Greek mythology, the dragon is often the keeper of treasure, so the dragon is often a symbol of greed and destruction. In addition to the image of “Saint George slaying the dragon” in the medieval manuscripts of Europe, there is also the Great Red Dragon in the Christian Bible’s Book of Revelation, which refers to Satan and the end times. For Europeans, dragon is usually a monster keeping distances away from people, a symbol of darkness. With four legs and two huge black wings, they can spit fire or even poison gas out of their mouth, with great destructive(破 坏性的) power. Such symbolic resonance (共鸣) can be seen in the enduring appeal of dragons in Western popular culture today where they are important parts of fantasy literature, films, video games, and TV shows, often representing a mix of awe-inspiring and fearsome qualities that put them at the heart of struggles between good and evil. Contrary to the evil image of European dragons, Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize different meanings. The loong has been a central symbol in Chinese culture for thousands of years, and its origins can be traced back to early Chinese civilization through mythology and religious beliefs. They even had jobs, as in Chinese legends dragons were appointed head of the four seas where they must keep order, as well as the job of bringing rain to the earth. Since loong were believed to have control over natural phenomena such as rain, storms and water, and were associated with the life-giving properties of water and the fertility of the land, loong became symbols of strength and good fortune, and they became associated with balance, harmony and the natural order of the universe. The differences in perception of the mythical creatures in China and the West are rooted in their different cultural values. Thus the answer to the question at the beginning is clear: Whether or not to use loong instead of dragon is not important. What is important is that as we enter a new lunar year people globally appreciate the cultural values embodied in such Chinese symbols as loong. 28. Which of the following best describes Europeans’ attitude towards the dragon? A. Lovable. B. Frightened. C. Acceptable. D. Favorable. 高三英语 第 3页（共 4页） 29. How is the whole passage organized? A. By making comparison. B. By telling ancient stories. C. By making a definition. D. By presenting numbers. 30. What makes loong symbols of strength and good fortune in Chinese culture? A. The long history of loong. B. The various jobs loong had. C. People’s positive beliefs in loong. D. Loong’s ability to control nature. 31. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. People only in China appreciate the cultural values. B. Everyone expects to enter a new lunar loong year. C. It’s important to identify the differences between dragon and loong. D. Different cultures have different understanding of dragon. D For night owls like Chen Danhong, 28, who works for a technology company in Beijing, the day really just begins after about 8 pm, a psychological hint that she can relax. “When I get home, I’m feeling worn out and tired, but that suddenly turns to excitement and I go on the Internet, read novels or watch movies. I’ll be playing video games and continually saying to myself, ‘OK, this is the last one’ before I eventually realize that it’s 2 o’clock,” says Chen. Common symptoms (症状) include falling asleep later than 2 am, with the average time taken to fall asleep being more than one hour. Young people in cities are most vulnerable to such symptoms, according to the 2020 Chinese National Healthy Sleep White Paper. Common causes are loneliness, overtime sequelae (后遗症), excessive stress and emotional disorders. On March 21, World Sleep Day, a newspaper, Nanguo Morning News, conducted a survey that attracted 2,000 interviewees. According to the survey, the reasons for going to bed late vary widely, with overtime work or taking care of a baby accounting for just five percent of the interviewees’ answers on this question. Sixty-four percent said they sleep late because they watch dramas, various shows, read books or play with their mobile phones. Fourteen percent said they do not want to go to bed too early even if they have nothing to do. Many interviewees said they have had experience of the dangers of going to be late. Twenty-three percent said they have no serious physiological problems, but they can feel weak, are easily fatigued and have a poor complexion. Twenty-one percent said they are forgetful and find it hard to concentrate on work. More worrying is that an unwillingness to sleep can lead to a vicious circle (恶性循环), and15 percent of the respondents said they cannot fall asleep even if they want to. 32. Why does the author mention Chen Danhong’s situation in the first paragraph? A. To lead in the topic. B. To present an argument. C. To shock the reader. D. To raise a question. 33. What makes young people tend to go to bed late? A. The frequent overtime. B. The various entertainments. C. Caring for their family. D. Unwillingness to sleep. 34. What does the underlined word “fatigued” in the last paragraph mean? A. Concerned. B. Exhausted. C. Focused. D. Sleepy. 35. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Young people are more strong enough to sleep late. B. Young people can fall asleep anytime they want to. C. Going to bed late affects many people’s health or work. D. Sleeping late occasionally isn’t harmful to our health. 第二节 (共 5小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分。) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Push yourselves beyond the limits Limits are blocks between you and your success. You will face great resistance(阻力) when attempting to break through the limits. It could be fear, lack of confidence, physical disabilities, and mental block. If you desire a life of success, you must face the resistance and push yourself beyond the limits. 36 Here are tips for you to succeed. 37 Don’t wait for external motivation to make the first move. Discover your inner motivation! It could be a motivational video, articles, TED Talks, or quotes. Ensure it is something that fills you with passion and drive to get things done. Inspiration can push you forward. Take on a little more than you think you can. Pushing past your limits means taking on newer, harder challenges. If you’re not challenging yourself to do bigger and better things regularly, you’re only working within what you already can do. 38 Work on your goals a little each day. Chances are great that you need to build your empire brick by brick. That takes time and regular effort. 39 That is, there is not a day that you don’t work on your big goals, at least a little bit. It can be fifteen minutes dedicated to doing one small thing that will get you closer to that big thing you want to accomplish. Find someone who supports you and encourages you to keep going. 40 Having someone to support you can balance out the impact of any negative thinking that may limit you. It could be a life coach, friend, parent, or your wife or husband. They can help you make the push you need to get out of your comfort zone. A．Inspire yourself. B．Rome wasn’t built in a day. C．That’s a way to stay exactly where you are and make little or no progress. D．A bit of assistance means much in facing resistance. E．One good way is to adopt the approach of “No Zero Days”. F．Failure to do so will make your goals and dreams unrealizable. G．Discover where your passion lies. 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。 If you asked anyone what they’d like to do after they ____41____—and you ____42____ them the chance to go on a trip to see all 63 national parks-most might consider it ____43____.

Your father said there are crocodiles(鳄鱼) in the river.” Both the children said that they would not get into the river. They gathered their fishing lines with the hooks (钩), and a can full of fish food. They headed to the river, and soon began fishing. However, even after a long time, they did not get any fish. They began to feel bored again. “This river looks not so deep. Why does mother say not to swim here?” asked Jack. “Remember, your mother said there are crocodiles here.” said Dane. “Well, I don’t find any.” said Jack. Dane was quiet for a while. Finally he asked, “Do you think we can swim?” Jack jumped up and shouted excitedly, “Yes, let us swim. Come on, dive.” The two friends dove in, and splashed (泼水) around happily. They found some logs of wood floating on the river, and tried floating with them. It was then that something unexpected happened.

Yours, Li Hua 读后续写范文： Jack saw what happened, and he swam fast to his friend’s rescue. Without hesitation, he spared no effort to reach for him and save him. However, Dane was too heavy for Jack to drag to the shore, so he shouted for help. “Help! My friend is drowning!” At the same time, he saw a movement a little far away. Having realized he was looking at a crocodile, he felt so terrified that he began to panic and cry. To his horror, the crocodile was going to get them any moment. Suddenly, a loud splash was heard. Jack looked up to see his father and mother in the river, struggling to swim towards them swiftly and soon they approached him. In a flash, they got both friends to the shore. Having tried their best, they brought Dane back to consciousness, but he was very weak. Jack was too shocked to speak, feeling very guilty. Finally, he apologized in a broken accent to his parents, lowering his head. The friends learned an impressive lesson—Children who refuse the reminding words will get into trouble. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
