Each year, TIME magazine makes a list of the World’s Greatest Places. TIME for Kids picks its favorites. Some places are a window on the past. Others look out on the future. Together, they represent the range of beauty and culture on our planet, from wildlife and other natural wonders to incredible human-made structures. Get ready for an adventure!

She found that the desks were no longer in rows, but pushed together to make eight bigger desks. She was so excited about it for the first two days that she couldn’t listen to the teachers carefully. But soon she and her classmates got used to this new classroom arrangement. “Now our class is quieter,” said Wu. “What’s more, we can come up with our own ideas and learn more through discussion. It’s a better way to study.” Li Yu liked it, too. “Group members first discuss,” he said, “and then present to the whole class. It makes us believe in ourselves.” This was part of a reform (改革) at Li’s school. The school made this reform because they wanted to offer students easier ways to study and more chances to discuss. “Our school hopes to improve students’ abilities to study by themselves and work in groups,” said Zhang Ming, an English teacher. However, the reform has demanded more from teachers. Now they have only 15 minutes to give a lesson that would have been taught in 45 minutes before. It is difficult to teach in such a short time. The teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively. “The reform demands more, but I’m sure it is helpful,” added Zhang Ming. 4. It was easier for Wu Liang to ________ in class after the new classroom arrangement. A. discuss with other students B. sit in the classroom C. push desks together D. teach a lesson 5. The school made the reform in order to offer students ________ to study. A. larger space B. easier ways C more seats D. better classrooms 6. Which of the following sentences is wrong? A. Wu Liang and her classmates like the new classroom arrangement. B. The desks are no longer in rows now. C. The reform has demanded more from teachers. D. It’s easy for teachers to give a lesson in 15 minutes now. 7. The best title of this passage may be “________”. A. Discussion in Class B. New Look in Class C. Students’ Friendship D. Teachers’ Hope C Nowadays, children spend less time in the fresh air. Many of them are addicted to a screen either on a computer or a TV—they seem to be living in a virtual world. They have lost touch with nature. But now 400 organizations in the UK, from playgroups to the National Health Service, are encouraging children to have some “wild time”. They want kids to swap at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside. Activities such as building dens, climbing trees, rummaging for conkers and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kids can do. Even if they live in a city, they can go on adventures in the garden or the park. Children often need a helping hand from mum and dad. They need to be shown what to do and where to go. Andy Simpson from National Health Service says, “We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids’ development, independence and creativity, by giving wild time a go.” So despite the complicated world that young people grow up in now, it seems that going back to basics and experiencing “nature’s playground” is what modern children need. David Bond from Project Wild Thing says, “We need to make more space for wild time in children’s daily routine, freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted.” This might sound a bit old-fashioned to you or maybe, like me, it’s made you think about sticking on your boots, getting outdoors and reliving your childhood. There’s no age limit on enjoying yourself! 8. What makes children lose touch with nature? A Playing hide and seek. B. Going on adventures in parks. C. Building dens frequently. D. Being addicted to a screen. 9. In Andy Simpson’s opinion, who should be persuaded to see the effect of wild time? A. Teachers. B. Parents. C. Children. D. Experts. 10. What might David probably agree? A. What modern children need is spiritual satisfaction. B. Children always take it for granted to play outside. C. Children need more time to get close to nature. D. Parents should make larger rooms for kids to study. 11. What can be inferred from this passage? A. People at any age can enjoy wild time. B. Watching TV is a good way to learn about nature. C. Everyone lives in a high-pressure world. D. Adults all desire to go back to childhood.

All of a sudden, the doorbell rang. Ding­Dong! Ding­Dong! My younger brother had rushed to the door before I decided to answer the door. We both thought that our parents had come home. As a result, he unlocked the door and opened it. Outside of the house stood a man who wore a black raincoat and black rubber boots. He looked no different from other people and he said that he was a salesman and asked politely if our mother or father was at home so he could talk with them. Without any thinking, my brother said, “No.” He asked if we would like to buy some comic books, which he was selling. I quickly explained to him that we were not supposed to buy anything without our parents' permission. However, it seemed that he was not willing to follow my advice and he had an intention to enter our house. Then, I realized something terrible would happen. As I was about to close the door, he forced his way into our house. He took out a knife and forced me to tie up my brother's hands with some rope which he took out from his pocket. I tied up his hands but I tied it in a special way so my brother could untie himself as we often did. The man then tied my hands up and locked both of us in the kitchen. Soon, he went upstairs to search the bedroom for something valuable. I managed to teach my brother to untie the rope on his hands. He then untied me. I rushed to the telephone to call the police, but the line was dead. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150 左右；2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 The doors were all locked from the outside and what's more, I did not have the keys. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just at the same time our parents came back home. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023-2024学年高一第一学期11月期中英语试题 注意事项： 1．答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息 2．请将答案正确填写在答题卡上 第I卷（选择题） 一、阅读理解（每题2.5分，共37.5分） A World’s Greatest Places Want to see the world?

They have lost touch with nature.(如今，孩子们接触新鲜空气的时间越来越少了。他们中的许多人沉迷于电脑或电视屏幕——他们似乎生活在一个虚拟的世界里。他们与大自然失去了联系。)”可知，孩子们之所以接触自然的时间越来越少，是因为很多孩子沉迷于电脑或者电视屏幕。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Andy Simpson from National Health Service says, “We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids’ development, independence and creativity, by giving wild time a go.”(国家卫生服务机构的Andy Simpson说：“我们希望家长们尝试一下这种神奇的户外活动对孩子的发展、独立性和创造力能带来的好处。”)”可知，Andy Simpson呼吁父母能够看到神奇的户外活动对孩子的发展、独立性和创造力能带来的好处。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“David Bond from Project Wild Thing says, “We need to make more space for wild time in children’s daily routine, freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted.”(来自“野性计划”的David Bond说：“我们需要在孩子们的日常生活中为狂野留出更多的空间，让这一代孩子有机会体验我们许多人认为理所当然的事情。”)”可知，David Bond认为孩子们需要更多的时间去亲近大自然。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“This might sound a bit old-fashioned to you or maybe, like me, it’s made you think about sticking on your boots, getting outdoors and reliving your childhood.

The reason was that my parents had both gone for a ball party and had left me in charge of everything. I was doing my homework while my younger brother was watching TV. All of a sudden, the doorbell rang. Ding­Dong! Ding­Dong! My younger brother had rushed to the door before I decided to answer the door. We both thought that our parents had come home. As a result, he unlocked the door and opened it. Outside of the house stood a man who wore a black raincoat and black rubber boots. He looked no different from other people and he said that he was a salesman and asked politely if our mother or father was at home so he could talk with them. Without any thinking, my brother said, “No.” He asked if we would like to buy some comic books, which he was selling. I quickly explained to him that we were not supposed to buy anything without our parents' permission. However, it seemed that he was not willing to follow my advice and he had an intention to enter our house. Then, I realized something terrible would happen. As I was about to close the door, he forced his way into our house. He took out a knife and forced me to tie up my brother's hands with some rope which he took out from his pocket. I tied up his hands but I tied it in a special way so my brother could untie himself as we often did. The man then tied my hands up and locked both of us in the kitchen. Soon, he went upstairs to search the bedroom for something valuable. I managed to teach my brother to untie the rope on his hands. He then untied me. I rushed to the telephone to call the police, but the line was dead. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150 左右；2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 The doors were all locked from the outside and what's more, I did not have the keys. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just at the same time our parents came back home. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The doors were all locked from the outside and what's more, I did not have the keys. But luckily, the man forgot to lock the kitchen window. Both my brother and I managed to get out of the house through the window and we ran to the nearby police station and asked them for help. The police arrived at my house as soon as quickly. And as a result, the man was caught. Just at the same time our parents came back home. The police asked my family to go to the police station. The police told us that the man was a wanted robber pretending to sell comic books and they had been trying to catch him for a long time. The police praised my brother and me for our bravery. It was after we went back home that I told my parents the whole story of the robbery. They were thankful that we were not hurt but they scolded me for not stopping my brother from opening the door to strangers. I learned a lesson on safety and responsibility. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开。“我”和弟弟独自在家时被假装漫画书推销员的男子强行进入室内并绑架，两兄弟机智而幸运地从窗户逃脱，成功报警，男子被捕，父母回家后欣慰的同时也责备“我”不该让弟弟给陌生人开门，“我”从这件事中也学到了安全意识和责任。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“所有的门都从外面锁上了，更重要的是，我没有钥匙。”可知，第一段可描写作者和弟弟发现窗户没有锁上并成功逃脱。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在同一时间，我们的父母回家了。”可知，第二段可描写父母对这件事的反应。 2.续写线索：成功逃脱——报警——抓捕——告知——表扬——责备——吸取教训 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.向某人求助：ask sb for help/turn to sb for help ②.到达：arrive at/reach ③.表扬：praise/commend 情绪类 ①.感谢的：thankful/grateful ②.责备：scold/blame 【点睛】[高分句型1] The police told us that the man was a wanted robber pretending to sell comic books and they had been trying to catch him for a long time.
