They are devoted largely or entirely to the work of just one person. And they are the artists’ birthplaces or onetime homes. Here are four examples of such museums. Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum The name Cyrus E. Dallin (1861-1944) might not be familiar, but several of the artist’s sculptures (雕塑) are, especially those related to Native Americans. A good example is his “Appeal to the Great Spirit” standing in front of the Museum of Fine Arts. Born in Utah, he lived in Arlington for the final four decades of his life. The museum is in the Jefferson Cutter House, an 1830 Greek styled building. Norman Rockwell Museum Rockwell (1894-1978) was America’s well-known artist. The museum, founded in 1969, moved into its present location, Robert A．M. Stern-designed building in 1993. Its 998 paintings and drawings are the largest single collection of Rockwell's artworks.

B On the 25th of December, my mother expected her children to be present, exchanging gifts and eating turkey. But as an artist and daughter, my heart seemed to be more in my work as an artist. As for my mother and my family, I thought we would have more time to spend Christmas together. I was going to do my own thing. I made plans for my winter adventure in New Hampshire. The MacDowell Colony (麦道尔艺术村) was everything I could have wished for. About 20 to 30 artists were present, and it was as captivating as I had imagined. Snowy New England, sledding (滑雪橇) and whisky! It felt like my life had become an unexpected independent film. By Christmas Eve, I had been at the colony more than a week. The fresh feelings were wearing off, but I would never admit it. Everyone around me was having too much fun—drinks and deep conversations by the fireplace. It seemed so amazing! What was wrong with me? This was the holiday I’d always dreamed of. No plastic reindeer. Not a Christmas sweater anywhere in sight. People here didn’t even say “Christmas”, but they said “holiday”. Then why was I so down? Finally, I called home. My dad answered. He told me that my mother was out shopping with my brothers. I found there was a fire in my heart. They were having a fine Christmas without me? Didn’t they miss me? How could they? Despite a serious snowstorm, a large package with my mother’s beautiful handwriting showed up near my door at the artist colony on Christmas morning. I seized it as if I had been five years old. Inside was my favorite cake. As I sliced (切) the cake, everyone gathered around —young and old. My mother had sent a real homemade gift. It was a minor Christmas miracle that one cake managed to feed so many. We ate it from paper towels with our hands, satisfying a hunger we didn’t know we had and reminding us of our dear families, who must be missing us too. 24．Why was the author unwilling to spend Christmas at home? A．She met some trouble at work. B．She wanted to focus on her career. C．She had disagreements with her mother. D．She was tired of staying at a familiar place. 25．What does the underlined word “captivating” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Attractive. B．Tough. C．Strange. D．Simple. 26．What can we learn about the artist colony from Paragraph 3? A．It attracted many sports lovers. B．It was suitable for holiday parties. C．It lacked the Christmas atmosphere. D．It gave the author some artistic ideas. 27．What did the author mainly intend to express in the last two paragraphs? A．She learned to be open to others. B．She enjoyed bringing kindness to strangers. C．Her mother was good at taking care of her family. D．Her mother’s cake cured the artists of their homesickness. C Although toys' packaging says it's' educational , it doesn't make it so. That's the finding from a new study in JAMA Pediatrics that found some toys being marketed as language promoters got in the way of learning. Research shows that for kids to understand, speak and eventually read or write a language, they need to hear it -- lots of it. And it's' never too early for parents and to caregivers to get talking. That explains the booming industry in talking electronic toys that claim to help kids learn language. Professor Anna Sosa, of Northern Arizona University, led the study and says she gave families three different kinds of toys to play with: books, traditional toys like humble blocks and a shape sorter, and electronic toys. Sosa says she picked those toys because they are advertised in their packaging as language-promoters for babies between the ages of 10 and 16 months. "We had a talking on farm-animal names and things," Sosa says of the electronic toys. "We had a baby cell phone. And we had a baby laptop. So you open the cover and start pushing buttons, and it tells you things. The parent-child couples were asked to play separately with each type of toy over the course of three days." "When there's something else that's doing some talking, the parents seem to be sitting on the sidelines and letting the toy talk for them and respond for them, "Sosa says. "That's bad because the best way a toy can promote language in infants and toddlers is by stimulating interaction between parent and child. There's simply no evidence that a young child can learn language directly from a toy. It isn't responsive enough. It isn't social." As for the other toys, traditional blocks and puzzles stimulated more conversation than the electronic toys, and books outscored them all. But don't underestimate the humble block. While traditional toys fell short of books in interaction quantity, Sosa notes, they kept pace in terms of quality. 28．What is the finding of the research led by Professor Anna Sosa? A．Toy industry is facing new challenge in marketing. B．Kids should be taught to learn with toys as early as possible. C．People might be misled by the statements of some toy makers. D．Parents need to be cautious when choosing toys for their kids. 29．According to the passage, why are talking electronic toys so popular? A．Because they represent the latest creations. B．Because they arouse the interest learning. C．Because they are used as an educational tool. D．Because they are easy for the kids to control. 30．We can infer from the passage that it is necessary for the parents ______________. A．to share their experiences of reading with their kids B．to spare more time to stay with their kids at home C．to encourage their kids to attend social activities D．to get involved in the conversations on with their kids 31．What is the author's attitude to electronic toys as language promoters? A．Critical. B．Doubtful. C．Supportive. D．Objective. D Angel Garcia Crespo is a computer engineer at Carlos III University of Madrid in Spain. His group has invented a new way for deaf-blind people to “watch” TV. The idea for the technology grew out of previous work by his group. The team had already worked on making audiovisual(视听的) materials accessible to people with either vision or hearing disabilities. But the group wanted to help people with both challenges. So they asked some deaf-blind people what would help. In addition to relying on their sense of touch to communicate, deaf-blind people can also get and send information with a Braille line. The Braille system uses patterns of raised dots to stand for letters and numbers. A Braille line is an electronic machine with a changeable Braille display. Dots rise up or drop down based on the information sent to the machine. Now the new system changes TV signals to data a Braille line can use. “The key to the system is the possibility of using subtitles(字幕) to collect TV information, ” Garcia Crespo explains. “Subtitles travel with the image(影像) and the audio in electromagnetic waves we don’t see. But an electronic system can keep those waves. ” First, a computer program, or app, pulls out the subtitles and visual descriptions from the broadcast signal. The system then combines the information and changes both into data for Braille. Now another app gets to work, which sends the data out to people’s Braille lines on demand. “This is done in real time, in less than a second, ” Garcia Crespo says. This lets a deaf-blind person “watch” TV as it’s broadcast. The system will work with various Braille lines, as long as there’s a bluetooth connection available. Now, the system is only used in Europe, and it should soon be available in the US. 32．What inspired Garcia Crespo’s group to work on the new technology? A．Deaf-blind people’s poor life. B．Their pity on the disabled people. C．The challenges they face in work. D．Their group’s previous research. 33．Why can the electronic system collect TV information? A．It can combine all kinds of broadcast signals. B．It can keep the waves with subtitles traveling. C．It can work together with a variety of Braille lines. D．It can pull out the subtitles and visual descriptions. 34．What does the author think of the future of the new technology? A．Challenging. B．Bright. C．Rewarding. D．Hopeless. 35．What should be a suitable title for the text? A．New Technology Is Improving Deaf-blind People’s Life B．A New Braille Line Is Applied to Disabled People’s Life C．A Spanish Group Makes TV Accessible to Blind People D．New Technology Helps Deaf-blind People “Watch” TV 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many people love to listen to music while driving. Thanks to the world’s musical roads, drivers now don’t need to turn the radio on. 36 A musical road can create music when a car tires go over grooves (凹槽) on the road. To produce beautiful music, drivers must pass over the grooves at a certain speed. Signs often tell drivers the right speed. 37 . Since the mid-1990, musical rads have appeared in many different countries. 38 . To warn drivers to the incoming music, all the roads are marked by colored musical notes that are painted on these roads. Drivers can decide whether to go over the grooves or not because they are set on the side of the road. In Hungary, there is a musical road in honor of one of the country’s most popular musical performers — Laszlo Bodi. Bodi was the lead singer for the band Republic. 39 . Sadly, Bodi passed away in 2013. But people still remember him as there’s a road where drivers can hear 30 seconds of the Republic song “Road 67”. 40 . In Indonesia, a road plays the first six notes of “Happy Birthday”. The fifth note is a little out of tune, though. This “mistake” keeps drivers awake and aware, and it has reduced the number of traffic accidents. Such is the power of music and musical roads. A．Musical roads are also keeping drivers safe. B．There is not any music road in Eastern countries. C．Musical roads help improve the road safety greatly. D．But they can also enjoy music while taking road trips. E．Formed in 1990, the group is one of Hungary’s biggest acts and is still active today. F．The first musical road was created in Gylling, Denmark, in 1995. G．For example, in Japan, there are many musical roads throughout the country. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （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。 There is a big difference between offering to help and helping. Almost all of us are guilty (内疚的) about the following 41 : Someone talks about a problem, and we answer with 42 words, “Be sure to give me a call if I can help.” But we often do nothing to help. Once I was in the situation where I 43 these kinds of offers of help—my son just started studying abroad. During those particular days, all I could 44 was the trouble my son would possibly face. It was a very 45 experience. However, there were very few who offered something really helpful. 46 . I had one close friend who took action rather than just saying to offer help. She called, “I know you must be going crazy. I think you need to get away from your 47 .” She had already called a few of our friends and 48 a big dinner out. It was a wonderful night. I hadn’t even known how much I needed that break 49 I was there. After that 50 , I decided I’d 51 her example and reach out to others. I’ve been 52 and even guessed wrong at times.

We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn’t see some rain soon we would lose everything. I was in the kitchen making lunch for the family when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking towards the woods. I could only see his back. He wasn’t walking in his usual way. He was obviously walking with a great effort, trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, towards the house. Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow and purposeful step towards the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey. He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the water he carried. Branches and thorns slapped(拍打) his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I leant against a tree to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site. Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer laying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap(舔着喝) the water cupped in my beautiful boy’s hand. When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ And later I knew what was going on. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第6页，共7页 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！10 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… 此卷只装订不密封 ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… … 学校：______________姓名：_____________班级：_______________考号：______________________ 绝密★考试结束前 2024-2025学年高二上学期期中模拟卷 英语 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．测试范围：选择性必修第一册（外研版2019）。 4．难度系数：0.65。 5．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。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．What does the man mainly do in his spare time?

B On the 25th of December, my mother expected her children to be present, exchanging gifts and eating turkey. But as an artist and daughter, my heart seemed to be more in my work as an artist. As for my mother and my family, I thought we would have more time to spend Christmas together. I was going to do my own thing. I made plans for my winter adventure in New Hampshire. The MacDowell Colony (麦道尔艺术村) was everything I could have wished for. About 20 to 30 artists were present, and it was as captivating as I had imagined. Snowy New England, sledding (滑雪橇) and whisky! It felt like my life had become an unexpected independent film. By Christmas Eve, I had been at the colony more than a week. The fresh feelings were wearing off, but I would never admit it. Everyone around me was having too much fun—drinks and deep conversations by the fireplace. It seemed so amazing! What was wrong with me? This was the holiday I’d always dreamed of. No plastic reindeer. Not a Christmas sweater anywhere in sight. People here didn’t even say “Christmas”, but they said “holiday”. Then why was I so down? Finally, I called home. My dad answered. He told me that my mother was out shopping with my brothers. I found there was a fire in my heart. They were having a fine Christmas without me? Didn’t they miss me? How could they? Despite a serious snowstorm, a large package with my mother’s beautiful handwriting showed up near my door at the artist colony on Christmas morning. I seized it as if I had been five years old. Inside was my favorite cake. As I sliced (切) the cake, everyone gathered around —young and old. My mother had sent a real homemade gift. It was a minor Christmas miracle that one cake managed to feed so many. We ate it from paper towels with our hands, satisfying a hunger we didn’t know we had and reminding us of our dear families, who must be missing us too. 24．Why was the author unwilling to spend Christmas at home? A．She met some trouble at work. B．She wanted to focus on her career. C．She had disagreements with her mother. D．She was tired of staying at a familiar place. 25．What does the underlined word “captivating” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Attractive. B．Tough. C．Strange. D．Simple. 26．What can we learn about the artist colony from Paragraph 3? A．It attracted many sports lovers. B．It was suitable for holiday parties. C．It lacked the Christmas atmosphere. D．It gave the author some artistic ideas. 27．What did the author mainly intend to express in the last two paragraphs? A．She learned to be open to others. B．She enjoyed bringing kindness to strangers. C．Her mother was good at taking care of her family. D．Her mother’s cake cured the artists of their homesickness. C Although toys' packaging says it's' educational , it doesn't make it so. That's the finding from a new study in JAMA Pediatrics that found some toys being marketed as language promoters got in the way of learning. Research shows that for kids to understand, speak and eventually read or write a language, they need to hear it -- lots of it. And it's' never too early for parents and to caregivers to get talking. That explains the booming industry in talking electronic toys that claim to help kids learn language. Professor Anna Sosa, of Northern Arizona University, led the study and says she gave families three different kinds of toys to play with: books, traditional toys like humble blocks and a shape sorter, and electronic toys. Sosa says she picked those toys because they are advertised in their packaging as language-promoters for babies between the ages of 10 and 16 months. "We had a talking on farm-animal names and things," Sosa says of the electronic toys. "We had a baby cell phone. And we had a baby laptop. So you open the cover and start pushing buttons, and it tells you things. The parent-child couples were asked to play separately with each type of toy over the course of three days." "When there's something else that's doing some talking, the parents seem to be sitting on the sidelines and letting the toy talk for them and respond for them, "Sosa says. "That's bad because the best way a toy can promote language in infants and toddlers is by stimulating interaction between parent and child. There's simply no evidence that a young child can learn language directly from a toy. It isn't responsive enough. It isn't social." As for the other toys, traditional blocks and puzzles stimulated more conversation than the electronic toys, and books outscored them all. But don't underestimate the humble block. While traditional toys fell short of books in interaction quantity, Sosa notes, they kept pace in terms of quality. 28．What is the finding of the research led by Professor Anna Sosa? A．Toy industry is facing new challenge in marketing. B．Kids should be taught to learn with toys as early as possible. C．People might be misled by the statements of some toy makers. D．Parents need to be cautious when choosing toys for their kids. 29．According to the passage, why are talking electronic toys so popular? A．Because they represent the latest creations. B．Because they arouse the interest learning. C．Because they are used as an educational tool. D．Because they are easy for the kids to control. 30．We can infer from the passage that it is necessary for the parents ______________. A．to share their experiences of reading with their kids B．to spare more time to stay with their kids at home C．to encourage their kids to attend social activities D．to get involved in the conversations on with their kids 31．What is the author's attitude to electronic toys as language promoters? A．Critical. B．Doubtful. C．Supportive. D．Objective. D Angel Garcia Crespo is a computer engineer at Carlos III University of Madrid in Spain. His group has invented a new way for deaf-blind people to “watch” TV. The idea for the technology grew out of previous work by his group. The team had already worked on making audiovisual(视听的) materials accessible to people with either vision or hearing disabilities. But the group wanted to help people with both challenges. So they asked some deaf-blind people what would help. In addition to relying on their sense of touch to communicate, deaf-blind people can also get and send information with a Braille line. The Braille system uses patterns of raised dots to stand for letters and numbers. A Braille line is an electronic machine with a changeable Braille display. Dots rise up or drop down based on the information sent to the machine. Now the new system changes TV signals to data a Braille line can use. “The key to the system is the possibility of using subtitles(字幕) to collect TV information, ” Garcia Crespo explains. “Subtitles travel with the image(影像) and the audio in electromagnetic waves we don’t see. But an electronic system can keep those waves. ” First, a computer program, or app, pulls out the subtitles and visual descriptions from the broadcast signal. The system then combines the information and changes both into data for Braille. Now another app gets to work, which sends the data out to people’s Braille lines on demand. “This is done in real time, in less than a second, ” Garcia Crespo says. This lets a deaf-blind person “watch” TV as it’s broadcast. The system will work with various Braille lines, as long as there’s a bluetooth connection available. Now, the system is only used in Europe, and it should soon be available in the US. 32．What inspired Garcia Crespo’s group to work on the new technology? A．Deaf-blind people’s poor life. B．Their pity on the disabled people. C．The challenges they face in work. D．Their group’s previous research. 33．Why can the electronic system collect TV information? A．It can combine all kinds of broadcast signals. B．It can keep the waves with subtitles traveling. C．It can work together with a variety of Braille lines. D．It can pull out the subtitles and visual descriptions. 34．What does the author think of the future of the new technology? A．Challenging. B．Bright. C．Rewarding. D．Hopeless. 35．What should be a suitable title for the text? A．New Technology Is Improving Deaf-blind People’s Life B．A New Braille Line Is Applied to Disabled People’s Life C．A Spanish Group Makes TV Accessible to Blind People D．New Technology Helps Deaf-blind People “Watch” TV 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many people love to listen to music while driving. Thanks to the world’s musical roads, drivers now don’t need to turn the radio on. 36 A musical road can create music when a car tires go over grooves (凹槽) on the road. To produce beautiful music, drivers must pass over the grooves at a certain speed. Signs often tell drivers the right speed. 37 . Since the mid-1990, musical rads have appeared in many different countries. 38 . To warn drivers to the incoming music, all the roads are marked by colored musical notes that are painted on these roads. Drivers can decide whether to go over the grooves or not because they are set on the side of the road. In Hungary, there is a musical road in honor of one of the country’s most popular musical performers — Laszlo Bodi. Bodi was the lead singer for the band Republic. 39 . Sadly, Bodi passed away in 2013. But people still remember him as there’s a road where drivers can hear 30 seconds of the Republic song “Road 67”. 40 . In Indonesia, a road plays the first six notes of “Happy Birthday”. The fifth note is a little out of tune, though. This “mistake” keeps drivers awake and aware, and it has reduced the number of traffic accidents. Such is the power of music and musical roads. A．Musical roads are also keeping drivers safe. B．There is not any music road in Eastern countries. C．Musical roads help improve the road safety greatly. D．But they can also enjoy music while taking road trips. E．Formed in 1990, the group is one of Hungary’s biggest acts and is still active today. F．The first musical road was created in Gylling, Denmark, in 1995. G．For example, in Japan, there are many musical roads throughout the country. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （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。 There is a big difference between offering to help and helping. Almost all of us are guilty (内疚的) about the following 41 : Someone talks about a problem, and we answer with 42 words, “Be sure to give me a call if I can help.” But we often do nothing to help. Once I was in the situation where I 43 these kinds of offers of help—my son just started studying abroad. During those particular days, all I could 44 was the trouble my son would possibly face. It was a very 45 experience. However, there were very few who offered something really helpful. 46 . I had one close friend who took action rather than just saying to offer help. She called, “I know you must be going crazy. I think you need to get away from your 47 .” She had already called a few of our friends and 48 a big dinner out. It was a wonderful night. I hadn’t even known how much I needed that break 49 I was there. After that 50 , I decided I’d 51 her example and reach out to others. I’ve been 52 and even guessed wrong at times. But I was amazed when I cheered people up. So 53 asking someone if they need help, and offer something 54 then and there. It is a way to show the power of 55 in an uncertain world. 41．A．rule B．problem C．situation D．excuse 42．A．confusing B．sincere C．honest D．careful 43．A．understood B．performed C．missed D．received 44．A．think B．learn from C．complain about D．suggest 45．A．valuable B．painful C．exciting D．fresh 46．A．Luckily B．Disappointedly C．Basically D．Gradually 47．A．doubts B．worries C．anger D．sadness 48．A．attended B．earned C．joined D．prepared 49．A．after B．when C．until D．once 50．A．experience B．education C．experiment D．adventure 51．A．change B．appreciate C．ignore D．follow 52．A．cheated B．accepted C．refused D．respected 53．A．stop B．finish C．keep D．try 54．A．small B．specific C．unusual D．right 55．A．patience B．courage C．confidence D．kindness 第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或所给单词的正确形式。 Sun Zhen chu, an 86-year-old man in 2022, who goes this driver’s license in about a year, has surprised and inspired netizens in China not only because of his age.

We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn’t see some rain soon we would lose everything. I was in the kitchen making lunch for the family when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking towards the woods. I could only see his back. He wasn’t walking in his usual way. He was obviously walking with a great effort, trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, towards the house. Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow and purposeful step towards the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey. He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the water he carried. Branches and thorns slapped(拍打) his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I leant against a tree to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site. Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer laying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap(舔着喝) the water cupped in my beautiful boy’s hand. When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ And later I knew what was going on. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第3页（共12页） 试题 第4页（共12页） 试题 第1页（共12页） 试题 第2页（共12页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 绝密★考试结束前 2024-2025学年高二上学期期中模拟卷 英语 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．测试范围：（外研版2019选择性必修第一册）。 4．难度系数：0.65。 5．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。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．What does the man mainly do in his spare time?

The public are found to have paid more attention to their living conditions, such as drinking water, air quality and noise. In the survey, 66.7 percent of respondents gave a positive assessment of the city‍‍'‍‍s environment protection efforts, especially the improvement of air quality. However, there are still many who complain about the impact of air and noise pollution. 97.09 percent of the respondents said they agree with the notion that it is everyone‍’s responsibility to protect the environment, while over 70 percent said the cost of the environmental improvement should be settled by public finance. 82 percent of the respondents said they have taken part in some form of environmental protection campaign. The proportion of people who are willing to “Drive One Day Less” rose by 31.1 percent, replacing tree-planting and trash picking as the main volunteer activities. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A New England holds some special museums. They are devoted largely or entirely to the work of just one person. And they are the artists’ birthplaces or onetime homes. Here are four examples of such museums. Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum The name Cyrus E. Dallin (1861-1944) might not be familiar, but several of the artist’s sculptures (雕塑) are, especially those related to Native Americans. A good example is his “Appeal to the Great Spirit” standing in front of the Museum of Fine Arts. Born in Utah, he lived in Arlington for the final four decades of his life. The museum is in the Jefferson Cutter House, an 1830 Greek styled building. Norman Rockwell Museum Rockwell (1894-1978) was America’s well-known artist. The museum, founded in 1969, moved into its present location, Robert A．M. Stern-designed building in 1993. Its 998 paintings and drawings are the largest single collection of Rockwell's artworks. Kids 16 and under: free; adults: $20; the old: at a 10% discount (折扣) Edward Gorey House Edward Gorey (1925-2000) was an artist, but he was also an author and clothes designer. Gorey bought this 18th-century house in 1979 and lived there for the rest of his life. Edward Gorey House is also known as the Elephant House. Gorey had respect for animals. The activities of the house, from art education to exhibits, show Gorey's support of animal well-being. Gibert Stuart Birthplace and Museum Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828) is responsible for what may well be the most familiar work of any American artist, His drawing of George is the basis of the first president’s portrait (画像) on the dollar. Stuart painted more than a thousand portraits throughout his life. 21．What do we know about Cyrus E. Dallin? A．He built the Jefferson Cutter House. B．He lived in Arlington for half a century. C．He was best known for his Greek styled sculptures. D．He created famous works related to Native Americans. 22．How much will an old couple pay to enter Norman Rockwell Museum? A．$36. B．$40. C．$60. D．$72. 23．Where can visitors learn some history of American money? A．Edward Gorey House. B．Norman Rockwell Museum. C．Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum. D．Gilbert Stuart Birthplace and Museum. 21．D 22．A 23．D 【分析】这是一篇应用文。广告介绍了New England的四个博物馆，它们大部分或全部奉献出一个人的作品，是艺术家们的出生地或者曾经的家。 21．细节理解题。根据小标题Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum下列段落中“The name Cyrus E. Dallin (1861-1944) might not be familiar, but several of the artist’s sculptures (雕塑) are, especially those related to Native Americans. (Cyrus E. Dallin (1861-1944)这个名字可能不太熟悉，但这位艺术家的几件雕塑很熟悉，尤其是那些与印第安人有关的雕塑)”可知，Cyrus E. Dallin创作了与印第安人有关的著名作品。故选D项。 22．细节理解题。根据小标题Norman Rockwell Museum下列条目“Kids 16 and under: free; adults: $20; the old: at a 10% discount (16岁及以下儿童：免费；成人：20美元；老人：打九折)”可知，两个老人是成人所需要的40美元打九折，为36美元。故选A项。 23．推理判断题。根据Gibert Stuart Birthplace and Museum下列段落中“Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828) is responsible for what may well be the most familiar work of any American artist, His drawing of George is the basis of the first president’s portrait(画像) on the dollar.  (Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828)创作了美国艺术家最熟悉的作品，他所画的George是第一任总统美元肖像画的基础)”可知，美元上的George肖像是以Gilbert Stuart作品为基础的，所以游客们在Gilbert Stuart Birthplace and Museum可以了解到一些美国货币的历史。故选D项。 B On the 25th of December, my mother expected her children to be present, exchanging gifts and eating turkey. But as an artist and daughter, my heart seemed to be more in my work as an artist. As for my mother and my family, I thought we would have more time to spend Christmas together. I was going to do my own thing. I made plans for my winter adventure in New Hampshire. The MacDowell Colony (麦道尔艺术村) was everything I could have wished for. About 20 to 30 artists were present, and it was as captivating as I had imagined. Snowy New England, sledding (滑雪橇) and whisky! It felt like my life had become an unexpected independent film. By Christmas Eve, I had been at the colony more than a week. The fresh feelings were wearing off, but I would never admit it. Everyone around me was having too much fun—drinks and deep conversations by the fireplace. It seemed so amazing! What was wrong with me? This was the holiday I’d always dreamed of. No plastic reindeer. Not a Christmas sweater anywhere in sight. People here didn’t even say “Christmas”, but they said “holiday”. Then why was I so down? Finally, I called home. My dad answered. He told me that my mother was out shopping with my brothers. I found there was a fire in my heart. They were having a fine Christmas without me? Didn’t they miss me? How could they? Despite a serious snowstorm, a large package with my mother’s beautiful handwriting showed up near my door at the artist colony on Christmas morning. I seized it as if I had been five years old. Inside was my favorite cake. As I sliced (切) the cake, everyone gathered around —young and old. My mother had sent a real homemade gift. It was a minor Christmas miracle that one cake managed to feed so many. We ate it from paper towels with our hands, satisfying a hunger we didn’t know we had and reminding us of our dear families, who must be missing us too. 24．Why was the author unwilling to spend Christmas at home? A．She met some trouble at work. B．She wanted to focus on her career. C．She had disagreements with her mother. D．She was tired of staying at a familiar place. 25．What does the underlined word “captivating” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Attractive. B．Tough. C．Strange. D．Simple. 26．What can we learn about the artist colony from Paragraph 3? A．It attracted many sports lovers. B．It was suitable for holiday parties. C．It lacked the Christmas atmosphere. D．It gave the author some artistic ideas. 27．What did the author mainly intend to express in the last two paragraphs? A．She learned to be open to others. B．She enjoyed bringing kindness to strangers. C．Her mother was good at taking care of her family. D．Her mother’s cake cured the artists of their homesickness. 24．B 25．A 26．C 27．D 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者一心想着自己的工作，在圣诞节前依旧离开父母兄弟，前往麦道尔艺术村，尽管这里很吸引她，却缺少圣诞氛围。圣诞节的早晨，从家里寄来的一个圣诞蛋糕治愈了一群艺术家的思乡病，尽管自己不在家，家人依旧挂念着他们。 24．细节理解题。根据第一段“On the 25th of December, my mother expected her children to be present, exchanging gifts and eating turkey. But as an artist and daughter, my heart seemed to be more in my work as an artist. As for my mother and my family, I thought we would have more time to spend Christmas together. I was going to do my own thing. (12月25日，我母亲期待她的孩子们都在场，交换礼物和吃火鸡。但作为一个艺术家和女儿，我的心似乎更多地在我作为一名艺术家的工作中。至于我的母亲和我的家人，我想我们会有更多的时间一起度过圣诞节。我要做我自己的事情。)”可知，即使是圣诞节这个全家团聚的时候，作者更在意自己的事业。故选B项。 25．词句猜测题。根据第二段的第二句开始“The MacDowell Colony (麦道尔艺术村) was everything I could have wished for. About 20 to 30 artists were present, and it was as captivating as I had imagined. Snowy New England, sledding (滑雪橇) and whisky! It felt like my life had become an unexpected independent film. (麦道尔艺术村是我所希望的一切。大约有20到30位艺术家在场，这和我想象的一样captivating。白雪皑皑的新英格兰，滑雪橇和威士忌！感觉我的生活变成了一部意想不到的独立电影。)”可知，麦道尔艺术村是作者梦寐以求的地方，有很多吸引作者的元素。因此猜测captivating意为“吸引”，与A项Attractive意思相近，故选A项。 26．细节理解题。根据第三段第三句开始“Everyone around me was having too much fun—drinks and deep conversations by the fireplace. It seemed so amazing! What was wrong with me? This was the holiday I’d always dreamed of. No plastic reindeer. Not a Christmas sweater anywhere in sight. People here didn’t even say “Christmas”, but they said “holiday”. Then why was I so down? (我周围的每个人都玩得太开心了——在壁炉旁喝酒和深入交谈。这似乎太神奇了！我怎么了？这是我一直梦寐以求的假期。没有塑料驯鹿。到处都看不到一件圣诞毛衣。这里的人们甚至没有说‘圣诞节’，但他们说的是‘假期’。那我为什么这么沮丧呢？)”可知，作者发现在这里，尽管周围人都玩得很开心，但是都只是在度假，这里没有与圣诞有关的东西，缺乏圣诞的氛围。故选C项。 27．推理判断题。根据最后第二段“Despite a serious snowstorm, a large package with my mother’s beautiful handwriting showed up near my door at the artist colony on Christmas morning. I seized it as if I had been five years old. Inside was my favorite cake. (尽管暴风雪肆虐，圣诞节的早晨，一个写着我母亲美丽笔迹的大包裹出现在艺术家聚居地的我的门口。我抓住了它，就好像我五岁一样。里面是我最喜欢的蛋糕。)”，以及最后一段“As I sliced (切) the cake, everyone gathered around —young and old. My mother had sent a real homemade gift. It was a minor Christmas miracle that one cake managed to feed so many. We ate it from paper towels with our hands, satisfying a hunger we didn’t know we had and reminding us of our dear families, who must be missing us too. (当我切蛋糕时，每个人都围了过来——无论老少。我母亲送来了一份真正的自制礼物。一个蛋糕能喂饱这么多人，真是个小小的圣诞奇迹。我们用手从纸巾上吃它，满足了我们不知道的饥饿感，并提醒我们：亲爱的家人，他们一定也在想念我们。)”可知，一块家里制作的圣诞蛋糕，让这一群艺术家想起了家人，治愈了艺术家们的思乡病。故选D项。 C Although toys' packaging says it's' educational , it doesn't make it so. That's the finding from a new study in JAMA Pediatrics that found some toys being marketed as language promoters got in the way of learning. Research shows that for kids to understand, speak and eventually read or write a language, they need to hear it -- lots of it. And it's' never too early for parents and to caregivers to get talking. That explains the booming industry in talking electronic toys that claim to help kids learn language. Professor Anna Sosa, of Northern Arizona University, led the study and says she gave families three different kinds of toys to play with: books, traditional toys like humble blocks and a shape sorter, and electronic toys. Sosa says she picked those toys because they are advertised in their packaging as language-promoters for babies between the ages of 10 and 16 months. "We had a talking on farm-animal names and things," Sosa says of the electronic toys. "We had a baby cell phone. And we had a baby laptop. So you open the cover and start pushing buttons, and it tells you things. The parent-child couples were asked to play separately with each type of toy over the course of three days." "When there's something else that's doing some talking, the parents seem to be sitting on the sidelines and letting the toy talk for them and respond for them, "Sosa says. "That's bad because the best way a toy can promote language in infants and toddlers is by stimulating interaction between parent and child. There's simply no evidence that a young child can learn language directly from a toy. It isn't responsive enough. It isn't social." As for the other toys, traditional blocks and puzzles stimulated more conversation than the electronic toys, and books outscored them all. But don't underestimate the humble block. While traditional toys fell short of books in interaction quantity, Sosa notes, they kept pace in terms of quality. 28．What is the finding of the research led by Professor Anna Sosa? A．Toy industry is facing new challenge in marketing. B．Kids should be taught to learn with toys as early as possible. C．People might be misled by the statements of some toy makers. D．Parents need to be cautious when choosing toys for their kids. 29．According to the passage, why are talking electronic toys so popular? A．Because they represent the latest creations. B．Because they arouse the interest learning. C．Because they are used as an educational tool. D．Because they are easy for the kids to control. 30．We can infer from the passage that it is necessary for the parents ______________. A．to share their experiences of reading with their kids B．to spare more time to stay with their kids at home C．to encourage their kids to attend social activities D．to get involved in the conversations on with their kids 31．What is the author's attitude to electronic toys as language promoters? A．Critical. B．Doubtful. C．Supportive. D．Objective. 28．C 29．C 30．D 31．A 【分析】本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论了现在比较流行的一些智能玩具其“教育意义”的真实性。 28．推理判断题。根据第一段的Although toys' packaging says it's' educational , it doesn't make it so.（虽然玩具的包装上写着“有教育意义”，但它并没有做到这一点）以及第四段的When there's something else that's doing some talking, the parents seem to be sitting on the sidelines and letting the toy talk for them and respond for them（当有其他东西在说话时，家长们似乎坐在一旁，让玩具替他们说话，替他们回应），由此可知，Anna Sosa教授领导的研究发现人们可能会被一些玩具制造商的声明所误导，故选C。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段的That explains the booming industry in talking electronic toys that claim to help kids learn language.（这就解释了为什么那些声称可以帮助孩子学习语言的会说话的电子玩具行业正在蓬勃发展的原因），可知会说话的电子玩具如此受欢迎的原因是因为他们被作为一种教育工具，故选C。 30．推理判断题。根据第五段的That's bad because the best way a toy can promote language in infants and toddlers is by stimulating interaction between parent and child.（因为玩具促进婴幼儿语言能力的最佳方式是刺激父母和孩子之间的互动），由此可推知，对于父母来说参与到和孩子的会话中是有必要的，故选D。 31．推理判断题。根据本文的第一段的That's the finding from a new study in JAMA Pediatrics that found some toys being marketed as language promoters got in the way of learning.（该研究发现，一些作为语言促进剂销售的玩具妨碍了儿童的学习）由此可知，本文作者对电子玩具促进语言发展的态度是批判的，故选A。 【点睛】议论文或说明文中经常引用他人的观点来支持作者的观点。引文是出题者考查的热点区域，通常会考查考生的推理能力和对作者态度观点的判断能力。比如第三题，引用Sano说的That's bad because the best way a toy can promote language in infants and toddlers is by stimulating interaction between parent and child.（因为玩具促进婴幼儿语言能力的最佳方式是刺激父母和孩子之间的互动），由此可进行推断。 D Angel Garcia Crespo is a computer engineer at Carlos III University of Madrid in Spain. His group has invented a new way for deaf-blind people to “watch” TV. The idea for the technology grew out of previous work by his group. The team had already worked on making audiovisual(视听的) materials accessible to people with either vision or hearing disabilities. But the group wanted to help people with both challenges. So they asked some deaf-blind people what would help. In addition to relying on their sense of touch to communicate, deaf-blind people can also get and send information with a Braille line. The Braille system uses patterns of raised dots to stand for letters and numbers. A Braille line is an electronic machine with a changeable Braille display. Dots rise up or drop down based on the information sent to the machine. Now the new system changes TV signals to data a Braille line can use. “The key to the system is the possibility of using subtitles(字幕) to collect TV information, ” Garcia Crespo explains. “Subtitles travel with the image(影像) and the audio in electromagnetic waves we don’t see. But an electronic system can keep those waves. ” First, a computer program, or app, pulls out the subtitles and visual descriptions from the broadcast signal. The system then combines the information and changes both into data for Braille. Now another app gets to work, which sends the data out to people’s Braille lines on demand. “This is done in real time, in less than a second, ” Garcia Crespo says. This lets a deaf-blind person “watch” TV as it’s broadcast. The system will work with various Braille lines, as long as there’s a bluetooth connection available. Now, the system is only used in Europe, and it should soon be available in the US. 32．What inspired Garcia Crespo’s group to work on the new technology? A．Deaf-blind people’s poor life. B．Their pity on the disabled people. C．The challenges they face in work. D．Their group’s previous research. 33．Why can the electronic system collect TV information? A．It can combine all kinds of broadcast signals. B．It can keep the waves with subtitles traveling. C．It can work together with a variety of Braille lines. D．It can pull out the subtitles and visual descriptions. 34．What does the author think of the future of the new technology? A．Challenging. B．Bright. C．Rewarding. D．Hopeless. 35．What should be a suitable title for the text? A．New Technology Is Improving Deaf-blind People’s Life B．A New Braille Line Is Applied to Disabled People’s Life C．A Spanish Group Makes TV Accessible to Blind People D．New Technology Helps Deaf-blind People “Watch” TV 32．D 33．B 34．B 35．D 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍一种新技术。这种新技术让聋哑人在电视播出时“观看”电视。 32．推理判断题。根据第一段中His group has invented a new way for deaf-blind people to “watch” TV. The idea for the technology grew out of previous work by his group.（他的小组发明了一种让聋哑人“看”电视的新方法。这项技术的想法源于他的团队之前的工作。）可知，他们之前的研究激发了加西亚·克雷斯波的团队致力于这项新技术。故选D。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段中Now the new system changes TV signals to data a Braille line can use. “The key to the system is the possibility of using subtitles(字幕) to collect TV information, ” Garcia Crespo explains. “Subtitles travel with the image(影像) and the audio in electromagnetic waves we don’t see. But an electronic system can keep those waves. ”（现在，新的系统将电视信号转换成盲文线可以使用的数据。“这个系统的关键是有可能使用字幕来收集电视信息，”加西亚·克雷斯波解释说。“字幕以我们看不到的电磁波传播图像和音频。但是电子系统可以保持这些波。）可知，电子系统可以收集电视信息是因为它可以让带字幕的电波传播。故选B。 34．推理判断题。根据最后一段中Now, the system is only used in Europe, and it should soon be available in the US.（目前，该系统仅在欧洲使用，很快将在美国推出。）可知，作者对新技术的未来是充满希望的。故选B。 35．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中This lets a deaf-blind person “watch” TV as it’s broadcast. The system will work with various Braille lines, as long as there’s a bluetooth connection available.（这让聋哑人在电视播出时“观看”电视。只要有蓝牙连接，该系统可以使用各种盲文线路。）可知，文章最佳主题是“新技术帮助聋哑人士“看”电视”。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many people love to listen to music while driving. Thanks to the world’s musical roads, drivers now don’t need to turn the radio on. 36 A musical road can create music when a car tires go over grooves (凹槽) on the road. To produce beautiful music, drivers must pass over the grooves at a certain speed. Signs often tell drivers the right speed. 37 . Since the mid-1990, musical rads have appeared in many different countries. 38 . To warn drivers to the incoming music, all the roads are marked by colored musical notes that are painted on these roads. Drivers can decide whether to go over the grooves or not because they are set on the side of the road. In Hungary, there is a musical road in honor of one of the country’s most popular musical performers — Laszlo Bodi. Bodi was the lead singer for the band Republic. 39 . Sadly, Bodi passed away in 2013. But people still remember him as there’s a road where drivers can hear 30 seconds of the Republic song “Road 67”. 40 . In Indonesia, a road plays the first six notes of “Happy Birthday”. The fifth note is a little out of tune, though. This “mistake” keeps drivers awake and aware, and it has reduced the number of traffic accidents. Such is the power of music and musical roads. A．Musical roads are also keeping drivers safe. B．There is not any music road in Eastern countries. C．Musical roads help improve the road safety greatly. D．But they can also enjoy music while taking road trips. E．Formed in 1990, the group is one of Hungary’s biggest acts and is still active today. F．The first musical road was created in Gylling, Denmark, in 1995. G．For example, in Japan, there are many musical roads throughout the country. 36．D 37．F 38．G 39．E 40．A 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了世界各地出现的音乐公路。这些公路通过轮胎在特定凹槽上行驶产生音乐，给驾驶者带来愉悦的体验，同时还具有一定的安全作用。 36．前文“Many people love to listen to music while driving. Thanks to the world’s musical roads, drivers now don’t need to turn the radio on.(许多人喜欢在开车时听音乐。多亏了世界上的音乐之路，司机们现在不需要打开收音机)”可知，音乐之路的出现让司机不用打开收音机，D选项“但他们也可以在自驾游时欣赏音乐”与上文don’t need to turn the radio on相呼应，说明不开收音机也能听音乐，符合语境。故选D。 37．下一句“Since the mid-1990, musical roads have appeared in many different countries.(自20世纪90年代中期以来，音乐公路出现在许多不同的国家)”可知，空处应该讲到音乐公路的起源或者历史，F选项“1995年，首条音乐之路在丹麦的居灵诞生”表明音乐公路的起源和创建时间，符合语境。故选F。 38．上一句“Since the mid-1990, musical roads have appeared in many different countries.(自20世纪90年代中期以来，音乐公路出现在许多不同的国家)”可知，G选项“例如，在日本，全国有许多音乐之路”与前文语境一致，具体举例说明音乐公路在其他国家的普及情况。故选G。 39．前文“In Hungary, there is a musical road in honor of one of the country’s most popular musical performers—Laszlo Bodi. Bodi was the lead singer for the band Republic.(在匈牙利，有一条音乐之路是为了纪念该国最受欢迎的音乐表演者之一——拉兹洛·博迪。博迪是共和国乐队的主唱)”及后文“Sadly, Bodi passed away in 2013.(不幸的是，博迪于2013年去世)”可知，空处应该描述拉兹洛·博迪的音乐成就和影响力，E选项“该团体成立于1990年，是匈牙利最大的团体之一，至今仍很活跃”说明该乐队的知名度和影响力。故选E。 40．后文“The fifth note is a little out of tune, though. This “mistake” keeps drivers awake and aware, and it has reduced the number of traffic accidents.(不过，第五个音符有点跑调。这种“错误”使司机保持清醒和意识，并减少了交通事故的数量)”可知，此处讲到音乐公路还能提高驾驶安全性，A选项“音乐道路也保证了司机的安全”引出下文主旨。故选A。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （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。 There is a big difference between offering to help and helping. Almost all of us are guilty (内疚的) about the following 41 : Someone talks about a problem, and we answer with 42 words, “Be sure to give me a call if I can help.” But we often do nothing to help. Once I was in the situation where I 43 these kinds of offers of help—my son just started studying abroad. During those particular days, all I could 44 was the trouble my son would possibly face. It was a very 45 experience. However, there were very few who offered something really helpful. 46 . I had one close friend who took action rather than just saying to offer help. She called, “I know you must be going crazy. I think you need to get away from your 47 .” She had already called a few of our friends and 48 a big dinner out. It was a wonderful night. I hadn’t even known how much I needed that break 49 I was there. After that 50 , I decided I’d 51 her example and reach out to others. I’ve been 52 and even guessed wrong at times.

We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn’t see some rain soon we would lose everything. I was in the kitchen making lunch for the family when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking towards the woods. I could only see his back. He wasn’t walking in his usual way. He was obviously walking with a great effort, trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, towards the house. Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow and purposeful step towards the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey. He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the water he carried. Branches and thorns slapped(拍打) his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I leant against a tree to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site. Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer laying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap(舔着喝) the water cupped in my beautiful boy’s hand. When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ And later I knew what was going on. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【例文】 When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. My curiosity once again drove me to follow him back. After he reached the kitchen, he turned on the tap. As he was trying hard to cup both hands to receive the water, it was still running away through his fingers. And he also had great difficulty turning off the tap with hands occupied. He seemed to be so sorry for his wasting of water. Wearing a note of upset on his face, he carried it carefully towards the woods. And later I knew what was going on. It began to make sense to me why he wasn’t walking in his usual way. I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart working so hard to save a life. As my tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops. . . and more drops. It was as if the nature itself was moved by the great effort made by my son and began to rain. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者发现自己的儿子奇怪地在树林和家之间往返，通过跟踪，作者终于发现了儿子是从家里捧水去树林救助缺水的小鹿。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当水没了，Billy跳起来跑回房子。”以及第二段首句内容“后来我才知道是怎么回事。”可知，第一段可描写作者跟着Billy回到家中，发现了Billy所做的事情。 ②由第二段首句内容“后来我才知道是怎么回事。”可知，第二段可描写作者内心的感触。 2.续写线索：所在地区严重缺水——发现儿子用奇怪的走路姿势走向树林——片刻后，儿子又往家跑，相同的活动持续了一个多小时——感到非常奇怪，于是开始悄悄跟踪儿子——终于明白儿子是从家中取水送给树林中缺水的小鹿——非常感动于儿子所做的事情 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①到达：reach/get to/arrive at ②做某事有困难：have difficulty doing sth./have trouble doing sth. ③开始：begin/start 情绪类 ①烦恼：upset/annoyance ② 感动的：moved/touched 【点睛】【高分句型1】As he was trying hard to cup both hands to receive the water, it was still running away through his fingers.（运用了as引导的状语从句） 【高分句型2】 It began to make sense to me why he wasn’t walking in his usual way.（运用了why引导的主语从句） 试卷第6页，共7页 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！8 学科网（北京）股份有限公司zxxk.com 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年高二英语上学期期中模拟卷 参考答案 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 第一部分 听力（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分） 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 C B A C A B A A B C 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 B A B C A C C A B A 第二部分 阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2.5分， 满分50分） 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 D A D B A C D C C D 题号 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 答案 A D B B D D F G E A 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 题号 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 答案 C B D A B A B D C A 题号 51 52 53 54 55 答案 D B A B D 第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 56．taking 57．an 58．for 59．immediately 60．to pass 61．What 62．contributions 63．was selected 64．where 65．competitive 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） A Scientist in China The scientist in China impressed me most is Yuan Longping, the “father of hybrid rice”.
