B As William Shakespeare is to literature in English, so is the poet Du Fu to the Chinese literary tradition. “We have Dante, Shakespeare and Du Fu. These poets create the very values by which poetry is judged,” remarked Harvard Professor Stephen Owen in Du Fu: China’s Greatest Poet, a BBC documentary that aired on April 7. Aimed at introducing the charm and beauty of traditional Chinese literature to viewers around the globe, the documentary invited the famous British actor Ian McKellen, who played the wizard Gandalf in the film series The Lord of the Rings, to read 15 of Du’s poems that have been translated into English. The one-hour film traces the poet’s life experiences in detail. Born in 712, Du lived in the reign of the Emperor Xuanzong of Tang (712—756), a time marked by extraordinary prosperity, inclusiveness and glorious cultural accomplishments. However, as An Lushan’s rebel army floored the empire, the 43-year-old Du, the former civil servant at the Tang court, had to take his family out of his hometown, and faced starvation and sufferings. Through ups and downs, the poet never stopped writing and about 1, 500 poems have been kept over the ages. Even though he never held a high position in the government, Du still cared about common people. For example, in the poem My Cottage Unroofed by Autumn Gales, he wrote that “Could I get mansions covering ten thousand miles, I’d house all poor scholars and make them beam with pleasure”. “That is why he is honored as the Poet Sage by later generations. A difficult life and his spirit of concern about the world helped him create so many masterpieces,” Shi Wenxue, a cultural critic based in Beijing, told the Global Times. 24. What can we know about the BBC documentary? A. It introduces Shakespeare. B. Du Fu is acted by Ian McKellen in it. C. Its target audience is Chinese. D. It shows 15 of Du Fu’s poems to the audience. 25. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a feature marking Du Fu’s time? A. Extraordinary prosperity B. Social stability C. Social inclusiveness D. Cultural accomplishments 26. What does the underlined word “That” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Du’s concern about common people. B. My Cottage Unroofed by Autumn Gales. C. Du’s high position in the government. D. Du’s low position in the government. 27. In which section of a website may this text appear? A. Entertainment. B. Health. C. Literature. D. Science. C The dry land in Gir National Park and Wildlife Preserve, located near India western tip, is the proud — and only — home of the Asiatic lion (亚洲狮). By the early 1900s, however, their populations had decreased for homo loss and hunting, leaving fewer than 50 known individuals alive. Though their numbers have risen over the past several decades — climbing to around 670 in2020, a successful story — the lions are still considered endangered. One of the biggest challenges to keep the lions’ future is to track them, a hard work. Some animals, like tigers and zebras, have special coat patterns that provide useful marks to the researchers. But for the Asiatic lions, researchers must look elsewhere. In 2019, Banerjee, who worked for Indias National Tiger Conservation Authority, developed an AI system to recognize the lions with high accuracy (精准). The AI program, SIMBA, has been applied in practice. “It will be a fantastic tool for long-term lion monitoring,” says Banerjee. He adds, “It could help forest officials arrive at a more accurate estimate (评估) of Gir’s lion population. In a few years, the group will have a rich collection of information — how many lions are male, female, how many will bear babies and how many are dead.” Despite the advantages, Baneijee also adds his worries. He suggests certain rules be made to prevent main information from being stolen. “Where tools like SIMBA really shine”, he says, “is in helping researchers develop monitoring plans that are keys to the protection of at-risk animals,” he says, “otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain.” 28. What is the greatest difficulty in protecting Asiatic lions? A. Stopping them from being killed. B. Keeping track of them. C. Protecting their living environment. D. Increasing their population. 29. How does SIMBA help researchers? A. By providing accurate information. B. By tracking other animals. C. By monitoring the animal stealers. D. By analyzing why lions decrease. 30. What’s Baneijee’s opinion about the AI program in the last paragraph? A. It should be put into wide use right away. B. It has more risks than advantages. C. Its possible risks should be aware of. D. Its disadvantages should be ignored. 31. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Advantages of AI on Protecting Animals. B. An AI Program for Protecting Asiatic Lions. C. The Importance of Protecting Asiatic Lions. D. Measures to Protect Endangered Animals. D The idea of turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing is not new. During the last five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric to deal with plastic pollution. But there’s a problem with this method. Research now shows that microfibers could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea. Dr. Mark Browne in Santa Barbara, California, has been studying plastic pollution and microfibers for 10 years now. He explains that every time synthetic clothes go into a washing machine, a large number of plastic fibers fall off. Most washing machines can’t collect these microfibers. So every time the water gets out of a washing machine, microfibers are entering the sewers and finally end up in the sea. In 2011, Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic(合成的) clothing can produce more than 1, 900 fibers per wash. Browne collected samples from seawater and freshwater sites around the world, and used a special way to examine each sample. He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers. This is bad news for a number of reasons. Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten. Studies have also shown that plastic can absorb other pollutants. Based on this evidence, it may seem surprising that companies and organizations have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an environmental “solution.” Even though the science has been around for a while, Browne explains that he's had a difficult time getting companies to listen. When he asked well-known clothing companies to support Benign by Design-his research project that seeks to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market, Browne didn’t get a satisfying answer. Only one women’s clothing company, Eileen Fisher, offered Browne funding. 32. What has happened during the past five years? A. Fabric has become much stronger. B. Plastic pollution has been less serious. C. Many plastic bottles have been reused. D. Microfibers have been greatly improved. 33 What does Browne think of washing synthetic clothes? A. It is adding microfibers to the clothes. B. It is worsening environmental problems. C. It is making synthetic clothes last longer. D. It is doing great damage to washing machines. 34 What can be inferred about Browne’s Benign by Design research project? A. It has achieved great success. B. It hasn’t got anything done. C. It is known to very few people. D. It is facing some difficulties. 35. What’s the best title for the text? A. It’s important to learn to recycle B. It’s never easy to solve pollution problems C. Recycled plastic clothing: solution or pollution? D. Are human beings moving forward or backward? 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。 Writing poetry can seem frightening, especially if you do not feel you are naturally creative.

The greatest pleasure in summer for them was to swim at their local beach after school. But one day they started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters. More often than not, they would find plastic bags thrown on the beach. Worse sill, as they swam in the water, some plastic bags would float around them and even stick to their legs when they walked to the shore. They were upset and decided something needed to be done to stop the beautiful sea becoming consumed by waste.One weekend,Maria and Peter brought a big bag to the beach and determined to clean it up. Sweat streamed down from their forehead while they bent down and picked up the plastic bags. To their disappointment, after a day’s hard work, there were still many plastic bags lying on the beach or floating in the water. Going home with aching legs and arms, Maria and Peter were almost defeated by a strong sense of failure. That night over dinner with their parents, the pair ate silently. Noticing their low spirits, Mother asked gently, “You two looked so down. What happened?”Exchanging glances with Peter, Maria replied in a low voice,“It’s those annoying plastic bags. We tried to clean up but it was just impossible.”Understanding the pair’s disappointment, their father patted them on the back and comforted,”Well, it’s really hard for just two of you to fix such a big problem.”“Just two of us.”complained Maria and Peter, looking at each other.Suddenly, an idea lashed through their minds, their eyes shining with excitement.“Yes,that’s the point! We should make more people aware of the problem and encourage them to take action!” the pair said in chorus. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Quickly finishing their dinner, the pair went upstairs and started planning. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Excited and nervous, they posted the video and article on WeChat. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 长沙市第二十一中学2024年上学期期中考试高一试卷 英语 时量：120分钟 满分：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the woman think of the blue shirt?

These poets create the very values by which poetry is judged,” remarked Harvard Professor Stephen Owen in Du Fu: China’s Greatest Poet, a BBC documentary that aired on April 7. Aimed at introducing the charm and beauty of traditional Chinese literature to viewers around the globe, the documentary invited the famous British actor Ian McKellen, who played the wizard Gandalf in the film series The Lord of the Rings, to read 15 of Du’s poems that have been translated into English. The one-hour film traces the poet’s life experiences in detail. Born in 712, Du lived in the reign of the Emperor Xuanzong of Tang (712—756), a time marked by extraordinary prosperity, inclusiveness and glorious cultural accomplishments. However, as An Lushan’s rebel army floored the empire, the 43-year-old Du, the former civil servant at the Tang court, had to take his family out of his hometown, and faced starvation and sufferings. Through ups and downs, the poet never stopped writing and about 1, 500 poems have been kept over the ages. Even though he never held a high position in the government, Du still cared about common people. For example, in the poem My Cottage Unroofed by Autumn Gales, he wrote that “Could I get mansions covering ten thousand miles, I’d house all poor scholars and make them beam with pleasure”. “That is why he is honored as the Poet Sage by later generations. A difficult life and his spirit of concern about the world helped him create so many masterpieces,” Shi Wenxue, a cultural critic based in Beijing, told the Global Times. 24. What can we know about the BBC documentary? A. It introduces Shakespeare. B. Du Fu is acted by Ian McKellen in it. C. Its target audience is Chinese. D. It shows 15 of Du Fu’s poems to the audience. 25. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a feature marking Du Fu’s time? A. Extraordinary prosperity B. Social stability C. Social inclusiveness D. Cultural accomplishments 26. What does the underlined word “That” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Du’s concern about common people. B. My Cottage Unroofed by Autumn Gales. C. Du’s high position in the government. D. Du’s low position in the government. 27. In which section of a website may this text appear? A. Entertainment. B. Health. C. Literature. D. Science. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一部BBC纪录片《杜甫：中国最伟大的诗人》，向世界各地的观众介绍了中国传统文学的魅力和美丽。文章介绍了新纪录片的一些情况以及诗人杜甫的一些个人经历和成就。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Aimed at introducing the charm and beauty of traditional Chinese literature to viewers around the globe, the documentary invited the famous British actor Ian McKellen, who played the wizard Gandalf in the film series The Lord of the Rings, to read 15 of Du’s poems that have been translated into English.(为了向世界各地的观众介绍中国传统文学的魅力和美丽，纪录片邀请了在系列电影《指环王》中扮演巫师甘道夫的著名英国演员Ian McKellen朗读了15首已被翻译成英语的杜甫的诗)”可知，这部纪录片向观众展示了杜甫的15首诗。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The one-hour film traces the poet’s life experiences in detail. Born in 712, Du lived in the reign of the Emperor Xuanzong of Tang (712—756), a time marked by extraordinary prosperity, inclusiveness and glorious cultural accomplishments.(这部长达一小时的电影详细地追溯了这位诗人的人生经历。杜出生于712年，生活在唐玄宗统治时期(712 - 756)，这是一个异常繁荣、包容和辉煌文化成就的时代)”可知，杜甫所在的朝代异常繁荣、社会包容性强且文化成就辉煌，未提及“社会稳定”，故选B。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。that通常指代上文所提到的部分内容。根据倒数第二段“Even though he never held a high position in the government, Du still cared about common people. For example, in the poem My Cottage Unroofed by Autumn Gales, he wrote that ‘Could I get mansions covering ten thousand miles, I’d house all poor scholars and make them beam with pleasure’.”. (虽然杜甫在朝廷里的职位并不高，但他仍然关心老百姓。例如，在诗《茅屋为秋风所破歌》中他写道：‘安得广厦千万间，大庇天下寒士俱欢颜！’)”以及画线词后文“A difficult life and his spirit of concern about the world helped him create so many masterpieces(艰苦的生活和他对世界的关怀帮助他创作了这么多的杰作)”可知，正是杜甫关心普通人的心怀使得他被后人尊为诗圣。That指的是“杜甫对普通百姓的关心”。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Aimed at introducing the charm and beauty of traditional Chinese literature to viewers around the globe, the documentary invited the famous British actor Ian McKellen, who played the wizard Gandalf in the film series The Lord of the Rings, to read 15 of Du’s poems that have been translated into English.(为了向世界各地的观众介绍中国传统文学的魅力和美丽，纪录片邀请了在系列电影《指环王》中扮演巫师甘道夫的著名英国演员Ian McKellen朗读了15首已被翻译成英语的杜甫的诗)”并结合文章主要介绍了一部BBC新纪录片《杜甫：中国最伟大的诗人》可推知，文章可能出现在网站的“文学”版面。故选C。 C The dry land in Gir National Park and Wildlife Preserve, located near India western tip, is the proud — and only — home of the Asiatic lion (亚洲狮). By the early 1900s, however, their populations had decreased for homo loss and hunting, leaving fewer than 50 known individuals alive. Though their numbers have risen over the past several decades — climbing to around 670 in2020, a successful story — the lions are still considered endangered. One of the biggest challenges to keep the lions’ future is to track them a hard work. Some animals, like tigers and zebras, have special coat patterns that provide useful marks to the researchers. But for the Asiatic lions, researchers must look elsewhere. In 2019, Banerjee, who worked for Indias National Tiger Conservation Authority, developed an AI system to recognize the lions with high accuracy (精准). The AI program, SIMBA, has been applied in practice. “It will be a fantastic tool for long-term lion monitoring,” says Banerjee. He adds, “It could help forest officials arrive at a more accurate estimate (评估) of Gir’s lion population. In a few years, the group will have a rich collection of information — how many lions are male, female, how many will bear babies and how many are dead.” Despite the advantages, Baneijee also adds his worries. He suggests certain rules be made to prevent main information from being stolen. “Where tools like SIMBA really shine”, he says, “is in helping researchers develop monitoring plans that are keys to the protection of at-risk animals,” he says, “otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain.” 28. What is the greatest difficulty in protecting Asiatic lions? A. Stopping them from being killed. B. Keeping track of them. C. Protecting their living environment. D. Increasing their population. 29. How does SIMBA help researchers? A. By providing accurate information. B. By tracking other animals. C. By monitoring the animal stealers. D. By analyzing why lions decrease. 30. What’s Baneijee’s opinion about the AI program in the last paragraph? A. It should be put into wide use right away. B. It has more risks than advantages. C. Its possible risks should be aware of. D. Its disadvantages should be ignored. 31. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Advantages of AI on Protecting Animals. B. An AI Program for Protecting Asiatic Lions. C. The Importance of Protecting Asiatic Lions. D. Measures to Protect Endangered Animals. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人工智能在保护濒危的亚洲狮方面的作用。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One of the biggest challenges to keep the lions’ future is to track them, a hard work.”（要想保住狮子的未来，最大的挑战之一就是追踪它们，这是一项艰巨的工作。）可知，保护亚洲狮最大的困难是跟踪他们。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“He adds, ‘It could help forest officials arrive at a more accurate estimate (评估) of Gir’s lion population. In a few years, the group will have a rich collection of information — how many lions are male, female, how many will bear babies and how many are dead.’”（他补充说：‘这可以帮助森林官员更准确地估计吉尔的狮子数量。几年后，该组织将收集到丰富的信息——有多少狮子是雄性的，有多少是雌性的，有多少会生育，有多少会死亡。’）可知，SIMBA通过提供狮子准确的信息来帮助研究人员。故选A项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Despite the advantages, Baneijee also adds his worries. He suggests certain rules be made to prevent main information from being stolen.”（尽管有这些优势，Baneijee也补充了他的担忧。他建议制定一些规则来防止主要信息被盗。）可知，Baneijee对人工智能项目的看法是应该意识到它可能存在的风险。故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“In 2019, Banerjee, who worked for Indias National Tiger Conservation Authority, developed an AI system to recognize the lions with high accuracy (精准). The AI program, SIMBA, has been applied in practice.”（2019年，在印度国家老虎保护局工作的Banerjee开发了一种人工智能系统，可以高精度地识别狮子。人工智能程序SIMBA已经在实践中得到了应用。）可知，本文介绍了保护濒危亚洲狮的人工智能项目。故选B项。 D The idea of turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing is not new. During the last five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric to deal with plastic pollution. But there’s a problem with this method. Research now shows that microfibers could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea. Dr. Mark Browne in Santa Barbara, California, has been studying plastic pollution and microfibers for 10 years now. He explains that every time synthetic clothes go into a washing machine, a large number of plastic fibers fall off. Most washing machines can’t collect these microfibers. So every time the water gets out of a washing machine, microfibers are entering the sewers and finally end up in the sea. In 2011, Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic(合成的) clothing can produce more than 1, 900 fibers per wash. Browne collected samples from seawater and freshwater sites around the world, and used a special way to examine each sample. He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers. This is bad news for a number of reasons. Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten. Studies have also shown that plastic can absorb other pollutants. Based on this evidence, it may seem surprising that companies and organizations have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an environmental “solution.” Even though the science has been around for a while, Browne explains that he's had a difficult time getting companies to listen. When he asked well-known clothing companies to support Benign by Design-his research project that seeks to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market, Browne didn’t get a satisfying answer. Only one women’s clothing company, Eileen Fisher, offered Browne funding. 32. What has happened during the past five years? A. Fabric has become much stronger. B. Plastic pollution has been less serious. C. Many plastic bottles have been reused. D. Microfibers have been greatly improved. 33. What does Browne think of washing synthetic clothes? A. It is adding microfibers to the clothes. B. It is worsening environmental problems. C. It is making synthetic clothes last longer. D. It is doing great damage to washing machines. 34. What can be inferred about Browne’s Benign by Design research project? A. It has achieved great success. B. It hasn’t got anything done. C. It is known to very few people. D. It is facing some difficulties. 35. What’s the best title for the text? A. It’s important to learn to recycle B. It’s never easy to solve pollution problems C. Recycled plastic clothing: solution or pollution? D. Are human beings moving forward or backward? 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在处理塑料污染方面，把可回收塑料重组成衣服的一部分不失为一个好办法，但研究表明，合成型衣服的清洗会产生大量纤维，其中微纤维对海洋环境的危害最为严重。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段“During the last five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric to deal with plastic pollution. ”可知，在过去的五年里，很多制衣公司，企业和环境组织已经开始把塑料转换成纤维来解决环境污染问题。结合上文，企业是用可回收塑料瓶转换成纤维。由此，在这五年会有很多塑料瓶被再次利用，结合选项，故选C。 33题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段“He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers.”可知，Browne通过自己的研究发现世界各地海水样本中都存在微纤维。结合第四段Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten.可知，微纤维对海洋生物有很大的危害。由此，合成型衣服的清洗会产生大量微纤维，微纤维的排放会加重海洋问题，结合选项，故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段“When he asked well-known clothing companies to support Benign by Design-his research project that seeks to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market, Browne didn’t get a satisfying answer. ”可知，在Browne要求世界知名制衣公司支持把对人类和环境有危害的衣服撤出市场的研究项目时，Browne并没有得到一个令人满意的答案。由此可推知，他的研究项目Benign by Design遇到了难题，结合选项，故选D。 【35题详解】 标题判断题。由第一段“ During the last five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric to deal with plastic pollution.”（ 在过去的五年里，大量的服装公司、企业和环保组织已经开始将塑料变成织物来处理塑料污染）和第一段“Research now shows that microfibers could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea.”（ 研究显示,微纤维是海洋塑料的最大来源。）由此可知，文章就这项技术究竟是对环境的保护还是对环境的再次污染进行说明。故C项（Recycled plastic clothing: solution or pollution?）回收塑料服装：是解决方案还是污染？能够概括文章中心，可作为标题。故选C。 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。 Writing poetry can seem frightening, especially if you do not feel you are naturally creative.

But one day they started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters. More often than not, they would find plastic bags thrown on the beach. Worse sill, as they swam in the water, some plastic bags would float around them and even stick to their legs when they walked to the shore. They were upset and decided something needed to be done to stop the beautiful sea becoming consumed by waste.One weekend,Maria and Peter brought a big bag to the beach and determined to clean it up. Sweat streamed down from their forehead while they bent down and picked up the plastic bags. To their disappointment, after a day’s hard work, there were still many plastic bags lying on the beach or floating in the water. Going home with aching legs and arms, Maria and Peter were almost defeated by a strong sense of failure. That night over dinner with their parents, the pair ate silently. Noticing their low spirits, Mother asked gently, “You two looked so down. What happened?”Exchanging glances with Peter, Maria replied in a low voice,“It’s those annoying plastic bags. We tried to clean up but it was just impossible.”Understanding the pair’s disappointment, their father patted them on the back and comforted,”Well, it’s really hard for just two of you to fix such a big problem.”“Just two of us.”complained Maria and Peter, looking at each other.Suddenly, an idea lashed through their minds, their eyes shining with excitement.“Yes,that’s the point! We should make more people aware of the problem and encourage them to take action!” the pair said in chorus. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Quickly finishing their dinner, the pair went upstairs and started planning. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Excited and nervous, they posted the video and article on WeChat. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Quickly finishing their dinner, the pair went upstairs and started planning.
