It is a challenge many disabled athletes face, unless someone agrees to be their eyes and ears. Newly-formed group Achilles Brisbane pairs vision- and hearing-impaired (视觉和听觉受损的) athletes with people who would like to guide them. Jane Britt, president of Achilles Brisbane, who is vision- and hearing-impaired, said, “When we go out, it’s much less frightening to have someone beside us that has full hearing to listen for us and tell us what’s there.” Ms Cullen and Ms Britt meet up most Saturday mornings to take part in the free five-kilometer park run. Their partnership is built on trust，but Ms Britt said that it took time to develop. Ms Britt said it took an unexpected storm for her to trust Ms Cullen completely. “There was violent rain, my glasses were broken and we were walking together. I suddenly had to tell her I couldn’t see anything, and I was going to have to completely trust her. From that time I knew it was going to work because she was so good about dealing with the special situation we both found ourselves in, ” she said. Isabella Allen and her seeing eye dog Tatum are two new additions to the Achilles Brisbane. Ms Allen kept active by rowing, running and cycling but found it difficult to keep going as her vision became worse. After nearly giving up completely, she worked up the courage to ask Achilles Brisbane to find someone to share a boat with her. Ms Allen said the fear of not finding anyone to row with almost stopped her from reaching out to Achilles Brisbane. “But, they found people and matched me to them, ” she said. “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.” 21. What does Paragraph 1 try to show? A. The danger of walking on a busy road. B. The difficulty the disabled athletes face. C. The exercise people do to keep fit. D. The necessity of building roads for the blind. 22. How does Jane Britt feel about going out alone? A. Relaxed. B. Excited. C. Worried. D. Bored. 23. What happened in the heavy rain according to Ms Britt? A. She developed a strong sense of teamwork. B. She led Ms Cullen forward on the road. C. She began to rely on Ms Cullen as her guide. D. She fell down on the ground. 24. What was the best thing Ms Allen has done? A. Asking Achilles Brisbane for help. B. Working in Achilles Brisbane. C. Exercising non-stop. D. Meeting Tatum. B January is the month recognized as the time to diet. This year a health expert told me to get serious. I have to take away half of every meal and put a carrot in its place. Every meal? She was serious. “We’re dealing with sick fat. There’s no hip and all I see is a piece of big bread on your dog’s legs.” However, it wasn’t my mistake. When we go out, people just keep feeding Eric snacks because he looks so cute. He looks at me when I’m eating my fish so I give him some. He wasn’t always this way. When he came to us after a short but successful time on the show dog circuit, he was, as you would expect a dog like him to be, well within his healthy weight. But then he came to us and got comfortable knowing this was his “forever home”. His appearance no longer mattered. He ate everything he could get. Whole blocks of cheese and fresh banana cakes before we pushed everything out of his tongue’s reach. We placed schoolbags high up on the wall. Sometimes, Eric managed to open the schoolbags and carry the lunchboxes in his mouth out through the dog door and into the garden where he happily ate my lovingly prepared offerings. It’s time for Eric to clean up his act. He’s not to be given pigs’ ears or fish from my dish anymore. I’ve asked my husband to bring a “Nil Orally” sign home from the hospital where he works. I’m going to hang it around Eric’s neck to show everybody that he’s on a diet. 25. What did the health expert say about Eric? A. He was out of shape. B. He had too much bread. C. He had short and strong legs. D. He needed a couple of pieces of bread. 26. What was Eric like before coming to the author’s home? A. Inactive. B. Heavy. C. Fit. D. Carefree. 27. What did Eric do with the schoolbags? A. He took them off the kitchen table. B. He played with them in the garden. C. He hid some food inside them. D. He opened them on his own. 28. What does “Nil Orally” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Clean up. B. Help me. C. Everything is fine. D. Nothing by mouth. C From the age of five, Alison Mbekeani, now in Durham University for her PhD, dreamed of becoming a scientist. But becoming a mother to two children put a brake on her career. She does not expect to return to the lab until her children are 16. Dr. Mbekeani is not alone. One survey in 2019 found that child-care responsibilities led 29% of mothers with a child under 14 to reduce their working hours, compared with just 5% of fathers. In an ideal world the government would not have to worry about any of this. Based on their preferences, parents would make a judgment over whether to outsource (外包) child-care or keep it in-house. The question for policymakers is whether parental behavior reflects actual preferences or it is driven by constraints (限制). Constraints are an issue. Three in five nonworking mothers say that they would prefer to work, given the right child-care. Families had to fork out an average of ₤260 a week in 2021 for 50 hours of nursery care for a child under two. A tenth of households with a child under five report difficulty meeting such costs. As well as price, availability is a problem. Just 68% of local authorities in England report having enough child-care provision to serve parents who work full time. Besides child-care, the benefits that could flow from evening out the gender (性别) imbalance in child-care could also be pretty large. One recent study estimated the gains from shuffling men and women according to ability, pulling productive women into work and kicking unproductive men out. Astonishingly, it was calculated that Britain’s average output per worker could be as much as 30% higher. Cheaper child-care and gender-balanced responsibility in it are ways out to help mums into work, but policies would need to be designed to target really constrained parents. However, experts also add that giving children the best start in life means shorter, structured days full of interaction. 29. Why is the story of Alison mentioned? A. To confirm an idea. B. To develop the plot. C. To draw a conclusion. D. To introduce the topic. 30. What is the government’s key focus about child-care problem? A. The influence of parents’ final decision. B. The difference of children’s preference. C. The balance of responsibility to do housework. D. The consistency of parental behavior and actual liking. 31. What does the underlined word “shuffling” mean in paragraph 4? A. Observing. B. Describing. C. Rearranging. D. Protecting. 32. Which is a suggested solution to helping mums into work? A. Reducing childcare fees. B. Strengthening children’s responsibility. C. Shortening children’s structured days. D. Offering the best life start to children. D A student is learning to speak British English. He wonders: Can I communicate with Americans? Can they understand me? Learners of English often ask: What are the differences between British and American English? How important are these differences? Certainly! There are some differences between British and American English. There are a few differences in grammar. For example, speakers of British English say “in hospital” and “Have you a pen?” Americans say “in the hospital!” and “Do you have a pen?”. Pronunciation is sometimes different. Americans usually sound theirs in words like “bird” and “hurt”. Speakers of British English do not sound theirs in these words. There are differences between British and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, “color” and “honor” are British, “color” and honor” are American. These differences in grammar, pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary are not important, however. For the most part, British and American English are the same language. 33.

My parents worked day and night to keep a roof over our heads and food on our table. It's true that we had little money and few goods, but we got plenty of love and attention. I was very happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics. I fell in love with baseball at an early age, a love so deep that I almost gave it my all. I practiced hard every day and that made me a little closer to my dream. By the time I was sixteen, I had made great progress: I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fast ball and hit anything that moved on the field. I was also lucky: my high school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but also taught me how to believe in myself. One particular incident (事件) with my coach Ollie Jarvis changed my life forever. It was the summer holiday in Senior 2 and one of my friends recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket — certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and I could also begin to save money for a house for my mother, which was what I had always dreamed of. The prospect (前景) of this summer job was attractive and I wanted to jump at this chance. Then it hit me that I would have to give up summer baseball training to deal with the work schedule. I was afraid of telling my coach, who would certainly be against my plan. I hesitated for several days. At last, I spurred (给……打气) myself with the advice my mother often gave us, "If you make your bed, you have to lie in it." I made up my mind. Paragraph1: When I told my coach Ollie Jarvis, he was as angry as I expected him to be. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2： “Well,” he asked, “is $3.5 an hour from the summer job the price of a dream?” _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 白城市第一中学2024-2025学年度上学期开学测验 英语试题 姓名：__________ 班级：__________ 考号：__________ 第一部分 听力部分 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the woman doing this morning?

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。Achilles Brisbane为视障和听障运动员配对志愿者，让他们能够安全地参与跑步等运动，建立了基于信任的关系，使运动员们能够克服障碍继续活跃在体育活动中。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Keeping fit often means sharing a busy pathway with cyclists, runners and walkers, but imagine facing the task of doing it all without being able to see or hear. It is a challenge many disabled athletes face, unless someone agrees to be their eyes and ears. (保持健康通常意味着与骑自行车的人、跑步者和步行者共享一条繁忙的道路，但想象一下，面对在看不见或听不见的情况下完成这一切的任务。这是许多残疾运动员面临的挑战，除非有人同意做他们的眼睛和耳朵)”可知，对于视觉和听觉受损的运动员来说，参加锻炼是一项挑战，除非有人做他们的眼睛和耳朵，由此可推知，第一段旨在说明残疾人运动员所面临的困难。故选B项。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Jane Britt, president of Achilles Brisbane, who is vision- and hearing-impaired, said, “When we go out, it’s much less frightening to have someone beside us that has full hearing to listen for us and tell us what’s there.” (Achilles Brisbane公司总裁Jane Britt患有视力和听力障碍，她说：“当我们外出时，身边有一个听力正常的人来听我们说话，告诉我们那里有什么，这就不那么可怕了。”)”可知，Jane Britt对独自外出感到害怕担忧。故选C项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“There was violent rain, my glasses were broken and we were walking together. I suddenly had to tell her I couldn’t see anything, and I was going to have to completely trust her. (当时下着大雨，我的眼镜坏了，我们一起走。我突然不得不告诉她我什么都看不见，我必须完全信任她)”可知，Britt女士的眼镜在大雨中碎了，她看不到东西，完全依靠Cullen女士帮她指路。故选C项。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的““But, they found people and matched me to them, ” she said. “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.” (“但是，他们找到了人，把我和他们配对，”她说。“这是我做过的最好的事。”)”可知，Allen女士认为她做的最好的事情是向Achilles Brisbane求助，故选A项。 B January is the month recognized as the time to diet. This year a health expert told me to get serious. I have to take away half of every meal and put a carrot in its place. Every meal? She was serious. “We’re dealing with sick fat. There’s no hip and all I see is a piece of big bread on your dog’s legs.” However, it wasn’t my mistake. When we go out, people just keep feeding Eric snacks because he looks so cute. He looks at me when I’m eating my fish so I give him some. He wasn’t always this way. When he came to us after a short but successful time on the show dog circuit, he was, as you would expect a dog like him to be, well within his healthy weight. But then he came to us and got comfortable knowing this was his “forever home”. His appearance no longer mattered. He ate everything he could get. Whole blocks of cheese and fresh banana cakes before we pushed everything out of his tongue’s reach. We placed schoolbags high up on the wall. Sometimes, Eric managed to open the schoolbags and carry the lunchboxes in his mouth out through the dog door and into the garden where he happily ate my lovingly prepared offerings. It’s time for Eric to clean up his act. He’s not to be given pigs’ ears or fish from my dish anymore. I’ve asked my husband to bring a “Nil Orally” sign home from the hospital where he works. I’m going to hang it around Eric’s neck to show everybody that he’s on a diet. 25. What did the health expert say about Eric? A. He was out of shape. B. He had too much bread. C. He had short and strong legs. D. He needed a couple of pieces of bread. 26. What was Eric like before coming to the author’s home? A. Inactive. B. Heavy. C. Fit. D. Carefree. 27. What did Eric do with the schoolbags? A. He took them off the kitchen table. B. He played with them in the garden. C. He hid some food inside them. D. He opened them on his own. 28. What does “Nil Orally” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Clean up. B. Help me. C. Everything is fine. D. Nothing by mouth. 【答案】25. A 26. C 27. D 28. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了作者的狗Eric身材走形，专家要求Eric节食。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“We’re dealing with sick fat. There’s no hip and all I see is a piece of big bread on your dog’s legs.(我们面对的是病态的脂肪。没有臀部，我只看到狗的腿像一块大面包)”可知，健康专家说Eric身材走样了。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When he came to us after a short but successful time on the show dog circuit, he was, as you would expect a dog like him to be, well within his healthy weight.(当他在短暂但成功的狗狗巡回表演后来到我们这里时，他就像你所期望的那样，在他健康的体重范围内)”可知，Eric在来作者家之前很健康。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Sometimes, Eric managed to open the schoolbags and carry the lunchboxes in his mouth out through the dog door and into the garden where he happily ate my lovingly prepared offerings.(有时，Eric设法打开书包，叼着午餐盒穿过狗门，进入花园，在那里他愉快地吃着我精心准备的食物)”可知，Eric自己打开了书包。故选D。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“I’m going to hang it around Eric’s neck to show everybody that he’s on a diet.(我要把它挂在埃里克的脖子上，让大家知道他在节食)”结合上文提到Eric身材走形，要节食。由此推知，Nil Orally意思是“禁食”。故选D。 C From the age of five, Alison Mbekeani, now in Durham University for her PhD, dreamed of becoming a scientist. But becoming a mother to two children put a brake on her career. She does not expect to return to the lab until her children are 16. Dr. Mbekeani is not alone. One survey in 2019 found that child-care responsibilities led 29% of mothers with a child under 14 to reduce their working hours, compared with just 5% of fathers. In an ideal world, the government would not have to worry about any of this. Based on their preferences, parents would make a judgment over whether to outsource (外包) child-care or keep it in-house. The question for policymakers is whether parental behavior reflects actual preferences or it is driven by constraints (限制). Constraints are an issue. Three in five nonworking mothers say that they would prefer to work, given the right child-care. Families had to fork out an average of ₤260 a week in 2021 for 50 hours of nursery care for a child under two. A tenth of households with a child under five report difficulty meeting such costs. As well as price, availability is a problem. Just 68% of local authorities in England report having enough child-care provision to serve parents who work full time. Besides child-care, the benefits that could flow from evening out the gender (性别) imbalance in child-care could also be pretty large. One recent study estimated the gains from shuffling men and women according to ability, pulling productive women into work and kicking unproductive men out. Astonishingly, it was calculated that Britain’s average output per worker could be as much as 30% higher. Cheaper child-care and gender-balanced responsibility in it are ways out to help mums into work, but policies would need to be designed to target really constrained parents. However, experts also add that giving children the best start in life means shorter, structured days full of interaction. 29. Why is the story of Alison mentioned? A. To confirm an idea. B To develop the plot. C. To draw a conclusion. D. To introduce the topic. 30. What is the government’s key focus about child-care problem? A. The influence of parents’ final decision. B. The difference of children’s preference. C. The balance of responsibility to do housework. D. The consistency of parental behavior and actual liking. 31. What does the underlined word “shuffling” mean in paragraph 4? A. Observing. B. Describing. C. Rearranging. D. Protecting. 32. Which is a suggested solution to helping mums into work? A. Reducing childcare fees. B. Strengthening children’s responsibility. C. Shortening children’s structured days. D. Offering the best life start to children. 【答案】29. D 30. D 31. C 32. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过分析妈妈们回归职场困难的原因，说明了如何帮助照顾孩子的妈妈们回归职场。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Dr. Mbekeani is not alone. One survey in 2019 found that child-care responsibilities led 29% of mothers with a child under 14 to reduce their working hours, compared with just 5% of fathers.(Mbekeani博士并不是一个人。2019年的一项调查发现，照顾孩子的责任导致29%有14岁以下孩子的母亲减少了工作时间，相比之下，只有5%的父亲这样做)”并结合下文内容可知，第一段通过Alison的故事，引出本文话题：如何照顾孩子以帮助妈妈重回职场的问题。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The question for policymakers is whether parental behavior reflects actual preferences or it is driven by constraints (限制).(政策制定者面临的问题是，父母的行为是反映了实际的偏好，还是受到了约束)”可知，政府（决策者）需要关注的是父母的行为是否真正反映了真实的偏好。故选D。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段的“pulling productive women into work and kicking unproductive men out(把有生产力的女性投入工作，把没有生产力的男性踢出去)”可知，划线词所在的句子意思是“最近的一项研究估计了根据能力调整男女比例的好处”，划线词shuffling的意思是“洗牌，重新安排”，和rearranging意思相近，故选C。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Cheaper child-care and gender-balanced responsibility in it are ways out to help mums into work, but policies would need to be designed to target really constrained parents.(更便宜的育儿费用和性别平衡的责任是帮助妈妈们工作的方法，但政策需要针对真正受约束的父母)”可知，帮助妈妈们返回职场的建议解决方案是降低育儿费用。故选A。 D A student is learning to speak British English He wonders: Can I communicate with Americans? Can they understand me? Learners of English often ask: What are the differences between British and American English? How important are these differences? Certainly! There are some differences between British and American English. There are a few differences in grammar. For example, speakers of British English say “in hospital” and “Have you a pen?” Americans say “in the hospital!” and “Do you have a pen?”. Pronunciation is sometimes different. Americans usually sound theirs in words like “bird” and “hurt”. Speakers of British English do not sound theirs in these words.

These differences in grammar, pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary are not important, however. For the most part, British and American English are the same language. 33. According to this passage, a student who is learning to speak American English might be afraid that_______. A. British people cannot understand him B.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了美国英语和英国英语之间的差别主要在四个方面，并说明了他们属于同一种语言，这两国人在相互理解方面没有说明困难。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“He wonders: Can I communicate with Americans? Can they understand me? Learners of English often ask: What are the differences between British and American English? How important are these differences?(他想知道：我能和美国人交流吗？他们能听懂我的话吗？英语学习者经常会问：英式英语和美式英语有什么不同？这些差异有多重要？)”可知，一个正在学习说美式英语的学生可能会担心英国人听不懂他的话。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“There are a few differences in grammar.(在语法上有一些不同)”；“Pronunciation is sometimes different.(发音有时是不同的)”以及“There are differences between British and American English in spelling and vocabulary.(英式英语和美式英语在拼写和词汇上有差异)”可知，美国英语和英国英语在语法，拼写，词汇和发音方面都有差异，故选D。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Americans say “in the hospital!” and “Do you have a pen?”.( 美国人说“in the hospital!”和“你有笔吗？”)”可知，Do you have a watch?是讲美国英语的人所说。故选B。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一句“For the most part, British and American English are the same language.(在大多数情况下，英式英语和美式英语是同一种语言)”可知，这两国人在理解对方的语言方面没有说明困难。故选A。 第三部分 客观题 It is never too late to develop good study habits.

My parents worked day and night to keep a roof over our heads and food on our table. It's true that we had little money and few goods, but we got plenty of love and attention. I was very happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics. I fell in love with baseball at an early age, a love so deep that I almost gave it my all. I practiced hard every day and that made me a little closer to my dream. By the time I was sixteen, I had made great progress: I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fast ball and hit anything that moved on the field. I was also lucky: my high school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but also taught me how to believe in myself. One particular incident (事件) with my coach Ollie Jarvis changed my life forever. It was the summer holiday in Senior 2 and one of my friends recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket — certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and I could also begin to save money for a house for my mother, which was what I had always dreamed of. The prospect (前景) of this summer job was attractive and I wanted to jump at this chance. Then it hit me that I would have to give up summer baseball training to deal with the work schedule. I was afraid of telling my coach, who would certainly be against my plan. I hesitated for several days. At last, I spurred (给……打气) myself with the advice my mother often gave us, "If you make your bed, you have to lie in it." I made up my mind. Paragraph1: When I told my coach Ollie Jarvis, he was as angry as I expected him to be. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2： “Well,” he asked, “is $3.5 an hour from the summer job the price of a dream?” _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph1: When I told my coach Ollie Jarvis, he was as angry as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said, with a serious look on his face, “but your playing days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them.” I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mother a house was worth facing his disappointment. “How much are you going to make at this summer job, son? ” he demanded. “$ 3.5 per hour,” I replied in a low voice. Paragraph2： “Well,” he asked, “is $ 3.5 an hour from the summer job the price of a dream?” That simple question set me thinking. It made me understand the difference between wanting something right now and having a long-term goal. Determined to put all my heart into baseball, I promised the coach that I would give up the job. That summer, I dedicated myself to baseball training, and the next year, I was given a baseball scholarship to a university. Finally, I signed with a famous team for $ 1.7 million, and certainly bought my mother the house of my dream. 【解析】 【导读】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者从小家里很贫穷，为妈妈买一所房子一直是他的梦想。为此他一直都在努力练习棒球，并且进步飞快。高二年级的暑假，他有了放弃进行夏季棒球训练去做一份暑期工作的想法，但是教练Ollie Jarvis坚决反对，极力劝说，让他明白了现在想要一些东西和有一个长期目标之间的区别，这也最终帮助他实现了梦想。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我告诉我的教练Ollie Jarvis时，他就像我想象的一样生气。”可知，第一段可描写教练Ollie Jarvis坚决反对他不参加棒球训练去做暑期工作的想法。 ②由第二段首句内容“那么，”他问，“暑期工作每小时3.5美元是一个梦想的价格吗？”可知，第二段可描写教练Ollie Jarvis给作者讲梦想的价格是什么，让他明白了现在想要一些东西和有一个长期目标之间的区别，最终他实现了梦想。 2.续写线索：教练很生气——教练提问——教练解释——作者反思——作者实现梦想 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.回答说： reply /respond/answer ②.专注于：dedicate…to… /devote…to…/concentrate on ③.获得：be given /gain /obtain 描述类 ①.有限的：limited/ restricted/confined ②. 著名的：famous/well-known 【点睛】[高分句型1].
