B “The mountains are calling and I must go” — the famous quote is from John Muir(1838-1914), who is described as “the wilderness poet” and “the citizen of the universe.” He once jokingly referred to himself as a “poet-geologist-botanist and ornithologist (鸟类学家)-naturalist etc. etc.!” He is known as the Father of American National Parks. Famed documentary filmmaker Ken Burns recently said, “As we got to know him… he was among the highest individuals in America; I’m talking about the level of Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., and Thomas Jefferson— people who have had a transformational effect on who we are.” So where is the quote from? Well, John Muir was a productive writer. Whether he was writing poetry or simply letters to his family, John Muir was always putting pen to paper. The quote is from within one of his many letters written to his sister: September 3rd, 1873 Yosemite Valley Dear sister Sarah, I have just returned from the longest and hardest trip I have ever made in the mountains, having been gone over five weeks. I am weary, but resting fast; sleepy, but sleeping deep and fast; hungry, but eating much. For two weeks I explored the glaciers of the summits east of here, sleeping among the snowy mountains without blankets and with little to eat on account of its being so inaccessible. After my icy experiences, it seems strange to be down here in so warm and flowery a climate. I will soon be off again, determined to use all the season in carrying through my work—will go next to Kings River a hundred miles south, then to Lake Tahoe and surrounding mountains, and in winter work in Oakland with my pen. Though slow, someday I will have the results of my mountain studies in a form in which you all will be able to read and judge them. The mountains are calling and I must go, and I will work on while I can, studying incessantly (永不停息地). I will write again when I return from Kings River Canyon. Farewell, with love everlasting. Yours, John 4. What can we learn from John Muir’s self-description in paragraph 1? A. He longed to expand his own career. B. He enjoyed his involvement in nature. C. He wanted to find his real advantage. D He valued his identity as a poet most. 5. What did Ken Burns mainly talk about? A. Muir’s political influence. B. A documentary film on Muir. C. Muir’s historic significance. D. The social circle around Muir. 6 How did Muir feel when writing the first paragraph of his letter? A. Relieved but regretful. B. Exhausted but content. C. Excited but lonely. D. Defeated but hopeful. 7. Why must John Muir go into mountains again? A. To go on with his mountain studies. B. To seek freedom from social connection. C. To attend an appointment in Oakland. D. To experience the hardship of wilderness. C Are you an early bird or a night owl? Our activity patterns and sleep cycles could influence our risk of heart disease. New research published in Experimental Physiology found wake/sleep cycles cause metabolic (新陈代谢) differences and change our body’s preference for energy sources. Researchers from Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA classified participants into two groups(early and late) based on their natural tendency to seek activity and sleep at different times. The participants were monitored for a week to assess their activity patterns across the day. They ate a calorie and nutrition-controlled diet and had to fast overnight to minimize dietary impact on the results. To study fuel preference, they were tested while at rest before completing two 15-minute period of exercise: one moderate and one high intensity session on a running machine. Aerobic fitness levels were tested through an incline challenge where the incline was raised 2.5% every two minutes until the participant reached a point of exhaustion. The researchers found that those who stay up later have a reduced ability to use fat for energy, meaning fats may build up in the body and increase the risk of heart disease. People who are ‘early birds’ rely more on fat as an energy source and are more active during the day with, higher levels of aerobic fitness than ‘night owls’. On the other hand, ‘night owls’ use less fat for energy at rest and during exercise. Researchers also found that early birds use more fat for energy at both rest and during exercise than night owls. Professor Steven Malin from Rutgers University said “We found that early birds are more physically active and have higher fitness levels than night owls. Farther research is needed to examine the link between exercise and metabolic adaptation to identify whether exercising earlier in the day has greater health benefits.” 8. What does the underlined word “fast” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Move quickly. B. Go without food. C. Exercise regularly. D. Fall sound asleep. 9. How was the research conducted? A. By making a survey. B. By making contrasts. C. By providing examples. D. By introducing a concept. 10. What is the characteristic of the “early birds”? A. Having lower fitness level. B. Using less fat during exercise. C. Consuming more fat at rest. D. Being more active during the night. 11. What is Malin’s attitude to the result of the research? A. Tolerant. B. Pessimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Uncertain. 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。 Ways to Start Out the New Year ♦ Let go of the past. Don’t set your expectation(期望)based upon a past unhelpful year.

We named her Onyx because of her black, shiny black coat. She spent her first vacation with us when she was only ten weeks old and had her first bath and swim in the St. Lawrence River. We had no clue that this amazing little ball of fur would end up being our hero. As she grew older, Onyx became more and more involved in our family activities. On hot summer days, Onyx enjoyed floating on the river with us in her own rubber tube (橡皮圈). Amazingly standing on the top of the tube, she smiled while showing off her perfect balance. Resting her front legs and paws over the edge of the rubber tube, she kept her eyes shut as she floated until she’d had enough of the warm sun on her black coat. One day, our eighteen-year-old daughter, Margie, announced she was going to swim across the bay. No one in the family was free to go swimming with her. The unwritten rules, regardless of swimming ability, was to have a companion in the water with you, especially when swimming the width of the bay. I was not a good swimmer, so I said to Margie, “Take Onyx with you.” Having heard her name, Onyx woke up from a nap and was ready for action. Margie signed the dog to follow her. Onyx ran to the water next to her. They entered the freezing river together and swam side by side across the bay. I watched from the bank as they reached the sandbar (沙洲) on the far shore. They rested a few minutes before diving into the water for the return trip. I felt uneasy for some reason and continued to watch the pair swim side by side. Suddenly I heard Margie calling out, “I have a cram (痉挛) in the leg! ” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing the pair approaching the riverbank, I breathed a sigh of relief. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 BABBC 6-10 ABCCA 11-15 ABCCB 16-20 BACCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 福建省柘荣一中 2023-2024 学年高一下学期第七次月考 高一英语试卷(平衡班) (考试时间 120 分钟 满分150 分) 第一部分 听力(共两节, 满分30分) 第一节(共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.

(“群山在呼唤，我必须要去”——这句名言出自约翰·缪尔（1838-1914），他被描述为“荒野诗人”和“宇宙公民”。他曾戏称自己是“诗人、地质学家、植物学家、鸟类学家、博物学家等！”他被称为美国国家公园之父。)”可知，约翰·缪尔非常喜欢他在大自然中的探索。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Famed documentary filmmaker Ken Burns recently said, “As we got to know him… he was among the highest individuals in America; I’m talking about the level of Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., and Thomas Jefferson—people who have had a transformational effect on who we are.”(著名纪录片制作人肯·伯恩斯最近说：“随着我们对他的了解……他是美国最优秀的人之一；我说的是亚伯拉罕·林肯、马丁·路德·金和托马斯·杰斐逊的水平，他们对我们的身份产生了变革性的影响。”)”可知，这一段肯·伯恩斯把约翰·缪尔与亚伯拉罕·林肯、马丁·路德·金和托马斯·杰斐逊放在一起对比，体现出了约翰·缪尔的重要性。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据信件的第一段“I am weary, but resting fast; sleepy, but sleeping deep and fast; hungry, but eating much. (我很累，但休息得很快；昏昏欲睡，但睡得又深又快；饿了，但吃得多。)”可知，缪尔当时身心疲惫但内心却很满足。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据信件的第三段“Though slow, someday I will have the results of my mountain studies in a form in which you all will be able to read and judge them. The mountains are calling and I must go, and I will work on while I can, studying incessantly(永不停息地). (虽然速度很慢，但总有一天我会以你们都能阅读和判断的形式获得我的山地研究结果。大山在召唤我，我必须去，我会尽我所能继续努力，不断学习。)”可知，约翰·缪尔必须再次上山是要继续他的山地研究。故选A。 C Are you an early bird or a night owl? Our activity patterns and sleep cycles could influence our risk of heart disease. New research published in Experimental Physiology found wake/sleep cycles cause metabolic (新陈代谢) differences and change our body’s preference for energy sources. Researchers from Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA classified participants into two groups(early and late) based on their natural tendency to seek activity and sleep at different times. The participants were monitored for a week to assess their activity patterns across the day. They ate a calorie and nutrition-controlled diet and had to fast overnight to minimize dietary impact on the results. To study fuel preference, they were tested while at rest before completing two 15-minute period of exercise: one moderate and one high intensity session on a running machine. Aerobic fitness levels were tested through an incline challenge where the incline was raised 2.5% every two minutes until the participant reached a point of exhaustion. The researchers found that those who stay up later have a reduced ability to use fat for energy, meaning fats may build up in the body and increase the risk of heart disease. People who are ‘early birds’ rely more on fat as an energy source and are more active during the day with, higher levels of aerobic fitness than ‘night owls’. On the other hand, ‘night owls’ use less fat for energy at rest and during exercise. Researchers also found that early birds use more fat for energy at both rest and during exercise than night owls. Professor Steven Malin from Rutgers University said, “We found that early birds are more physically active and have higher fitness levels than night owls. Farther research is needed to examine the link between exercise and metabolic adaptation to identify whether exercising earlier in the day has greater health benefits.” 8. What does the underlined word “fast” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Move quickly. B. Go without food. C. Exercise regularly. D. Fall sound asleep. 9. How was the research conducted? A. By making a survey. B. By making contrasts. C. By providing examples. D. By introducing a concept. 10. What is the characteristic of the “early birds”? A. Having lower fitness level. B. Using less fat during exercise. C. Consuming more fat at rest. D. Being more active during the night. 11. What is Malin’s attitude to the result of the research? A. Tolerant. B. Pessimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Uncertain. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一说明文。文章介绍了人的活动模式和睡眠周期与心脏病风险之间的关系。研究发现，早睡早起的人(早鸟)比晚睡晚起的人(夜猫子)更善于利用脂肪作为能量来源，且整体健康水平更高。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前情态动词had to可知，fast是动词；结合划线词所在句“They ate a calorie and nutrition-controlled diet and had to fast overnight to minimize dietary impact on the results.(他们摄入了控制热量和营养的饮食，并且必须在夜间进行fast，以最小化饮食对结果影响)”可推知，ate a calorie and nutrition-controlled diet和fast overnight都是“最小化饮食对结果影响”的措施。由此推知，fast overnight是指“夜间禁食”，fast与go without food同义。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Researchers from Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA classified participants into two groups (early and late) based on their natural tendency to seek activity and sleep at different times. The participants were monitored for a week to assess their activity patterns across the day.(美国新泽西州罗格斯大学的研究人员根据参与者在不同时间寻求活动和睡眠的自然倾向，将他们分为两组(早睡和晚睡)。研究人员对参与者进行了为期一周的监测，以评估他们一天中的活动模式)”和第三段中“The researchers found that those who stay up later have a reduced ability to use fat for energy, meaning fats may build up in the body and increase the risk of heart disease. People who are ‘early birds’ rely more on fat as an energy source and are more active during the day with, higher levels of aerobic fitness than ‘night owls’. On the other hand, ‘night owls’ use less fat for energy at rest and during exercise.(研究人员发现，那些熬夜的人将脂肪转化为能量的能力降低，这意味着脂肪可能会在体内堆积，增加患心脏病的风险。“早起鸟”更多地依赖脂肪作为能量来源，白天比“夜猫子”更活跃，有氧健身水平更高。另一方面，“夜猫子”在休息和运动时消耗较少的脂肪作为能量)”可知，研究人员根据参与者在不同时间寻求活动和睡眠的自然倾向将他们分为两组，然后以各种方式对参与者进行监测和测试，通过比较两组的结果来得出结论。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Researchers also found that early birds use more fat for energy at both rest and during exercise than night owls.(研究人员还发现，与夜猫子相比，早起的鸟儿在休息和锻炼时消耗的脂肪更多)”可知，“早起的鸟儿”休息时消耗更多脂肪。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。最后一段中Malin话“We found that early birds are more physically active and have higher fitness levels than night owls. Farther research is needed to examine the link between exercise and metabolic adaptation to identify whether exercising earlier in the day has greater health benefits.(我们发现，早起的鸟儿比夜猫子更活跃，健康水平也更高。需要进一步的研究来检验运动和代谢适应之间的联系，以确定一天中更早的运动是否对健康更有好处)”可知，Malin认为虽然目前的研究表明，早起和健康水平较高之间存在相关性，但马林不确定这两者之间的因果关系，以及早起锻炼对健康的潜在益处。他呼吁进一步的研究来检验这种联系。由此推知，他对研究结果持不确定的态度。故选D项。 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。 Ways to Start Out the New Year ♦ Let go of the past.

We named her Onyx because of her black, shiny black coat. She spent her first vacation with us when she was only ten weeks old and had her first bath and swim in the St. Lawrence River. We had no clue that this amazing little ball of fur would end up being our hero. As she grew older, Onyx became more and more involved in our family activities. On hot summer days, Onyx enjoyed floating on the river with us in her own rubber tube (橡皮圈). Amazingly standing on the top of the tube, she smiled while showing off her perfect balance. Resting her front legs and paws over the edge of the rubber tube, she kept her eyes shut as she floated until she’d had enough of the warm sun on her black coat. One day, our eighteen-year-old daughter, Margie, announced she was going to swim across the bay. No one in the family was free to go swimming with her. The unwritten rules, regardless of swimming ability, was to have a companion in the water with you, especially when swimming the width of the bay. I was not a good swimmer, so I said to Margie, “Take Onyx with you.” Having heard her name, Onyx woke up from a nap and was ready for action. Margie signed the dog to follow her. Onyx ran to the water next to her. They entered the freezing river together and swam side by side across the bay. I watched from the bank as they reached the sandbar (沙洲) on the far shore. They rested a few minutes before diving into the water for the return trip. I felt uneasy for some reason and continued to watch the pair swim side by side. Suddenly I heard Margie calling out, “I have a cram (痉挛) in the leg! ” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing the pair approaching the riverbank, I breathed a sigh of relief. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly I heard Margie calling out, “I have a cram ( 痉李 ) in the leg! ” Seized with panic, Margie rubbed her leg hard to relax the muscle but in vain. Seeing her struggling in the water, Onyx immediately swam to the side of Margie and then put her head beneath the girl’s right arm. I yelled for help for fear that they might freeze in the chilly river. But much to my joy, with Margie tightly grabbing Onyx’s collar, our little furry friend began digging deep, slicing through the water with her paws and swimming fast towards the bank with every ounce of strength. Seeing the pair approaching the riverbank, I breathed a sigh of relief. When they finally got to the shore, I reached out to help Margie, pulling her up onto the riverbank and wrapping her in a large towel. Exhausted but excited, Onyx eagerly ran to Margie and gently licked her face to make sure she was Okay, Everyone in the family was grateful for their safe return and Onyx was given an extra treat later in the afternoon for her quick and brave reaction. She became our hero that day and she never ceased to amaze us in the days that followed. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者养了一条狗，给它取名为Onyx，随着Onyx长大，它成为了家庭的一员，一天作者的女儿Margie打算游过海湾，但是没人陪她一起，于是作者让Onyx陪着女儿，当女儿从海湾对面游回来时，突然她脚抽筋了，幸好Onyx救了她，让作者对Onyx非常感激。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，我听到Margie叫道：“我腿抽筋了！””可知，第一段可描写Margie遇险，Onyx救助Margie的场景。 ②由第二段首句内容“看到他们俩走近河岸，我松了一口气。”可知，第二段可描写Onyx成功救下Margie，作者对它的感激之情。 2. 续写线索：Onyx成为家庭一员——女儿打算游过海湾——Onyx陪她一起——腿抽筋遇险——Onyx及时救援——成功回到岸边——感激 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①看到：see/spot/notice ②大喊：yell/shout/bawl ③确保：make sure/ensure/guarantee 情绪类 ①兴奋的：excited/thrilled/enthusiastic ②感激的：grateful/appreciative/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1]I yelled for help for fear that they might freeze in the chilly river.(运用了that引导的同位语从句) [高分句型2]When they finally got to the shore, I reached out to help Margie, pulling her up onto the riverbank and wrapping her in a large towel.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句) 1-5 BABBC 6-10 ABCCA 11-15 ABCCB 16-20 BACCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
