He was holding down two jobs at the time — one with the city’s public works department, the other as a barber. Saturday was his busiest hair-cutting day, but he chose to donate his time and give free haircuts to unfortunate kids so they’d look neat on that first day of classes. But then he had a light bulb moment: “The kids should earn their free haircut by having to read a book to me,” Holmes said. The idea was so popular that he continued it the first Tuesday of every month for the next two years. Boys from five to ten years old would grab a favorite book, settle into the barber chair, and read aloud while Holmes was doing their hair. If they were puzzled over a word, Holmes was there to help. After the haircut, they’d review he book, from the characters and vocabulary to the themes — just like in school, only more fun. Holmes, who is married and has two sons, ages three and four, recognizes that not every parent has the time to read with their kids. Holmes admits he, too, benefits from the process. “There was this seven-year-old who struggled through his book, stuttering over words even though he didn’t have a stutter (口吃),” said Holmes. He had the boy take the book home and practice. When the child came back a few days later, “He read it with no problems. That inspires me.” Holmes and his family have recently moved to a Chicago suburb. When they get settled, he plans to take up his role as the Story-book Barber. “The way the world is today with guns and violence,” he says, “it’s a safe heaven for the kids, to come to the barbershop and read books.” 4. What do we know about Holmes two years ago? A. He had only one job. B. He earned a lot as a barber. C. He offered free haircuts to the poor kids. D. He was the organizer of Back to School Bash. 5. The example in Paragrap3 mainly proves that _______. A. Holmes is very strict with the kids B. Holmes also learns a lot from the kids C. being a fluent reader needs plenty of practice D. many kids have trouble in reading a storybook 6. What can we learn from the last Paragraph? A. Holmes is dissatisfied with the world today. B. Holmes’ barbershop will have some changes. C. Holmes’ barbershop has won great popularity. D. Holmes will continue to be a storybook barber. 7 What is the best title for the text? A. The Storybook Barber B. Back to School Bash C. Reading Counts A Lot D. Care About the Kids C Any schoolchild knows that a whale breathes through its blowhole. Fewer know that a blowhole is a nostril (鼻孔) slightly changed by evolution into a form more useful for a mammal that spends its life at sea. And only a dedicated expert would know that while toothed whales, such as sperm whales, have one hole, baleen (鲸须) whales, such as humpback and Rice whales, have two. Even among the baleen whales, the placing of those nostrils differs. In some species they are close together. In others, they are much further apart. In a paper published in Biology Letters Conor Ryan, a marine biologist at the Scottish Association for Marine Science, suggests why that might be. Having two nostrils, he argues, helps whales smell in stereo (立体空间). Many types of baleen whales eat tiny animals known as zooplankton (浮游动物), which they catch by filtering (过滤) them from seawater using the sheets of fibrous baleen that have replaced teeth in their mouths. But to eat something you first have to find it. Toothed whales do not hunt by scent. In fact, the olfactory bulb—the part of the brain that processes smell—is absent in such creatures. But baleen whales still have olfactory bulbs, which suggests smell remains important. And scent can indeed give zooplankton away. Zooplankton like to eat other tiny creatures called phytoplankton (浮游植物). When these are under attack, they release a special gas called dimethyl sulphide, which in turn attracts baleen whales. Most animals have stereoscopic senses. Having two eyes, for instance, allows an animal to compare the images from each in order to perceive depth. Having two ears lets them locate the direction from which a sound is coming. Dr Ryan theorized that paired blowholes might bring baleen whales the same sorts of benefits. The farther apart the sensory organs are, the more information can be extracted by the animal that bears them. The researchers used drones to photograph the nostrils of 143 whales belonging to 14 different species. Sure enough, baleen whales that often eat zooplankton, such as the North Atlantic right whale, have nostrils that are farther apart than do those, such as humpback whales, that eat zooplankton occasionally. Besides allowing them to breathe, it seems that some whales use their blowholes to determine in which direction dinner lies. 8. What do we know about whales’ nostrils according to the first two paragraphs? A. They are adapted ones. B. They are developed merely for smell. C. They are not easy to detect. D. They are fixed universally in numbers. 9. What plays a role when baleen whales hunt zooplankton? A. The teeth that baleen whales have. B. The smell that phytoplankton send. C. The sound waves that zooplankton create. D. The chemical signals that zooplankton give off. 10. How is the concept of stereoscopic senses explained in paragraph 4? A. By quoting a theory. B. By using examples. C. By making contrast. D. By making inferences. 11. What is the position of nostrils related to according to the last paragraph? A. The sense of smell. B. The possibility to attract food. C. The ability to locate food. D. The ability to communicate. D In a world where everyone has their own opinions on just about everything, it’s common for people to be critical of each other’s mistakes and imperfections without noticing their own. Some individuals mistakenly think it’s their responsibility to make you into a better person. They do this by first pointing out your shortcomings directly and then providing advice on how you can improve. So what is the possible solution to criticism? If you are the one forcing others to feel ashamed of themselves, please stop. Make a conscious decision rather than highlight the negative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes. You are more likely to offer helpful suggestions from the beginning. If you are on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution. When someone comments negatively on a task you are doing or a personality issue of yours, a natural response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. Instead, simply reply with “OK”. This brief one-word response acknowledges the other person’s comment without agreeing with it or feeling necessary to engage in a debate about it. It’s crucial to stay connected to what the other person is talking about, and listen without getting upset, to be an objective observer. In fact, there is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Did I make a mistake? Could I have done better? Did I give 100% of myself to the task at hand? If so, how can I improve myself? As for chronic criticizers: It is important to set strict boundary with them. Remove yourself from their presence when necessary. In any case, one can learn to be “OK” with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact your life or relationship with the other party. 12. What might the author think of people who like to judge others? A. Self-centered. B. Responsible. C. Talkative. D. Warm-hearted. 13. What does a person mean by saying “OK” according to Paragraph 2? A. He thinks the advice is helpful. B. He completely agrees with the comments. C. He wants to avoid unnecessary arguments. D. He defends himself with the response. 14. What is the recommended action for dealing with chronic criticizers? A. Embrace their views. B. Criticize them in return. C. Avoid interaction if needed. D. Engage with them regularly. 15. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. The Art of Giving Criticism B. Mastering Self-Defense against Criticism C. Dealing with Personal Relationships Flexibly D. The Path to Self-Improvement through Criticism 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Lessons that are Learned from the Olympics The Olympic Games are enjoyed by everyone.

The map, yellowed with age, described a mysterious island that had the legendary Silver Falcon, a statue that was said to award its finder enormous wisdom and fortune. As typical eighth graders with the excitement of discovery and dreams of greatness, they decided they would be the ones to discover this hidden treasure. They agreed to start this search during the up-and-coming spring break, keeping their plans a secret from the adults who would undoubtedly discourage such a dangerous adventure. The days that followed were filled with preparation. They read books on survival, learned about the stars for navigation, and tested their courage in smaller woods. The boys were united by their unshakable resolve and the promise of an adventure that could change their lives forever. As spring break began, they set out just as the sun painted the sky with colors of orange and gold. They felt a mixture of excitement and slight nervousness. They carried backpacks filled with supplies and the ancient map that they hoped would lead them to glory. The beginning of their journey was full of laughter and songs around the campfire, but as days passed, the trip’s reality set in. The path grew more dangerous, and the maps guided them through thick woods and muddy wetlands. They learned to work together as their friendship was tested by constant challenges. Slowly, the island drew nearer. A conflict arose when they reached the foot of Mount Veritas, the final barrier before reaching the island. Lucas twisted his ankle, and the slightest movement sent sharp pains shooting through his leg. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 They realized they couldn’t leave Lucas behind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1～5ABCCA 6～10ACBBC 11～15 BCABA 16～20ACABA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 重庆八中2024-2025学年度（上）第一次月考高二年级 英语试题 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秒钟的时间回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了Holmes周六为贫穷的小孩子免费理发的故事。作为一名理发师，Holmes做了一件非常有意义的事情，那就是要求贫穷孩子为他读一本书，他就免费为其理发。文章具体介绍了孩子通过他的活动受益匪浅，他也收获很大。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Two years ago, Holmes participated in Back to School Bash. He was holding down two jobs at the time — one with the city’s public works department, the other as a barber. Saturday was his busiest hair-cutting day, but he chose to donate his time and give free haircuts to unfortunate kids so they’d look neat on that first day of classes.”（两年前，Holmes参与了“回到学校狂欢会”。当时他有两份工作——一份在市政工程部门，另一份是理发师。周六是他最忙的理发日，但他选择捐出自己的时间，为那些不幸的孩子免费理发，这样他们在第一天上课时就会看起来整洁）可知，两年前，Holmes为贫困的孩子们免费理发。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Holmes admits he, too, benefits from the process.”（Holmes承认，他也从这个过程中受益）可推知，Holmes也从孩子们身上获益，学到了很多东西。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“When they get settled, he plans to take up his role as the Story-book Barber.”（当他们安顿下来后，他计划扮演故事书理发师的角色）可知，Holmes将继续担任听故事的理发师。故选D项。 【7题详解】 标题判断题。根据文章大意可知，理发师Holmes要求贫穷孩子为他读一本书，来换取免费理发，他成为了一个听故事的理发师(Storybook Barber)，结合文章最后一段“When they get settled, he plans to take up his role as the Story-book Barber.”（当他们安顿下来后，他计划扮演听故事的理发师的角色）可知，The Storybook Barber（听故事的理发师）是文章的主线，也是文章的最佳标题。故选A项。 C Any schoolchild knows that a whale breathes through its blowhole. Fewer know that a blowhole is a nostril (鼻孔) slightly changed by evolution into a form more useful for a mammal that spends its life at sea. And only a dedicated expert would know that while toothed whales, such as sperm whales, have one hole, baleen (鲸须) whales, such as humpback and Rice whales, have two. Even among the baleen whales, the placing of those nostrils differs. In some species they are close together. In others, they are much further apart. In a paper published in Biology Letters Conor Ryan, a marine biologist at the Scottish Association for Marine Science, suggests why that might be. Having two nostrils, he argues, helps whales smell in stereo (立体空间). Many types of baleen whales eat tiny animals known as zooplankton (浮游动物), which they catch by filtering (过滤) them from seawater using the sheets of fibrous baleen that have replaced teeth in their mouths. But to eat something you first have to find it. Toothed whales do not hunt by scent. In fact, the olfactory bulb—the part of the brain that processes smell—is absent in such creatures. But baleen whales still have olfactory bulbs, which suggests smell remains important. And scent can indeed give zooplankton away. Zooplankton like to eat other tiny creatures called phytoplankton (浮游植物). When these are under attack, they release a special gas called dimethyl sulphide, which in turn attracts baleen whales. Most animals have stereoscopic senses. Having two eyes, for instance, allows an animal to compare the images from each in order to perceive depth. Having two ears lets them locate the direction from which a sound is coming. Dr Ryan theorized that paired blowholes might bring baleen whales the same sorts of benefits. The farther apart the sensory organs are, the more information can be extracted by the animal that bears them. The researchers used drones to photograph the nostrils of 143 whales belonging to 14 different species. Sure enough, baleen whales that often eat zooplankton, such as the North Atlantic right whale, have nostrils that are farther apart than do those, such as humpback whales, that eat zooplankton occasionally. Besides allowing them to breathe, it seems that some whales use their blowholes to determine in which direction dinner lies. 8. What do we know about whales’ nostrils according to the first two paragraphs? A. They are adapted ones. B. They are developed merely for smell. C. They are not easy to detect. D. They are fixed universally in numbers. 9. What plays a role when baleen whales hunt zooplankton? A. The teeth that baleen whales have. B. The smell that phytoplankton send. C. The sound waves that zooplankton create. D. The chemical signals that zooplankton give off. 10. How is the concept of stereoscopic senses explained in paragraph 4? A. By quoting a theory. B. By using examples. C. By making contrast. D. By making inferences. 11. What is the position of nostrils related to according to the last paragraph? A. The sense of smell. B. The possibility to attract food. C. The ability to locate food. D. The ability to communicate. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是关于须鲸的鼻孔的相关知识。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Fewer know that a blowhole is a nostril (鼻孔) slightly changed by evolution into a form more useful for a mammal that spends its life at sea.(很少有人知道，呼吸孔是一种经过轻微进化的鼻孔，对于在海洋中生活的哺乳动物来说，它的形式更有用)”可知，根据前两段，鲸鱼的鼻孔是调整过的，故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“When these are under attack, they release a special gas called dimethyl sulphide, which in turn attracts baleen whales.(当它们受到攻击时，它们会释放一种叫做二甲硫的特殊气体，反过来吸引须鲸)”可知，当须鲸捕食浮游动物时，浮游植物散发的气味起了作用。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Having two eyes, for instance, allows an animal to compare the images from each in order to perceive depth. Having two ears lets them locate the direction from which a sound is coming.(例如，有两只眼睛的动物可以通过比较来自每只眼睛的图像来感知深度。它们有两只耳朵，可以确定声音传来的方向)”可知，第四段通过举例解释立体感觉的概念。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Besides allowing them to breathe, it seems that some whales use their blowholes to determine in which direction dinner lies.(除了让它们呼吸外，一些鲸鱼似乎还用它们的气孔来确定晚餐在哪个方向)”可知，鼻孔的位置与定位食物的能力有关。故选C。 D In a world where everyone has their own opinions on just about everything, it’s common for people to be critical of each other’s mistakes and imperfections without noticing their own. Some individuals mistakenly think it’s their responsibility to make you into a better person. They do this by first pointing out your shortcomings directly and then providing advice on how you can improve. So what is the possible solution to criticism? If you are the one forcing others to feel ashamed of themselves, please stop. Make a conscious decision rather than highlight the negative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes. You are more likely to offer helpful suggestions from the beginning. If you are on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution. When someone comments negatively on a task you are doing or a personality issue of yours, a natural response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. Instead, simply reply with “OK”. This brief one-word response acknowledges the other person’s comment without agreeing with it or feeling necessary to engage in a debate about it. It’s crucial to stay connected to what the other person is talking about, and listen without getting upset, to be an objective observer. In fact, there is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Did I make a mistake? Could I have done better? Did I give 100% of myself to the task at hand? If so, how can I improve myself? As for chronic criticizers: It is important to set strict boundary with them. Remove yourself from their presence when necessary. In any case, one can learn to be “OK” with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact your life or relationship with the other party. 12. What might the author think of people who like to judge others? A. Self-centered. B. Responsible. C. Talkative. D. Warm-hearted. 13. What does a person mean by saying “OK” according to Paragraph 2? A. He thinks the advice is helpful. B. He completely agrees with the comments. C. He wants to avoid unnecessary arguments. D. He defends himself with the response. 14. What is the recommended action for dealing with chronic criticizers? A. Embrace their views. B. Criticize them in return. C. Avoid interaction if needed. D. Engage with them regularly. 15. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. The Art of Giving Criticism B. Mastering Self-Defense against Criticism C. Dealing with Personal Relationships Flexibly D. The Path to Self-Improvement through Criticism 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了如何正确地处理批评，无论是作为批评者还是被批评者，同时也提出了一些具体的策略，例如：通过简单地说“OK”来避免不必要的争论，以及如何对待那些习惯性批评他人的人。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Some individuals mistakenly think it’s their responsibility to make you into a better person. They do this by first pointing out your shortcomings directly and then providing advice on how you can improve.(有些人错误地认为他们有责任让你成为一个更好的人。他们首先直接指出你的缺点，然后就如何改进提供建议)”可知，作者可能认为这些人是自以为是，以自我为中心的。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Instead, simply reply with “OK”. This brief one-word response acknowledges the other person’s comment without agreeing with it or feeling necessary to engage in a debate about it.(相反，只需回答“OK”。这个简短的一个词的回应承认了对方的评论，但不同意它，也不觉得有必要就此展开辩论)”可知，对方通过说“OK”意在避免不必要的争论。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“It is important to set strict boundary with them. Remove yourself from their presence when necessary.(与他们建立严格的界限是很重要的。必要时离开他们)”可知，对于那些经常批评他人的人，文中推荐的行动是在必要时避免与他们互动。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In a world where everyone has their own opinions on just about everything, it’s common for people to be critical of each other’s mistakes and imperfections without noticing their own. Some individuals mistakenly think it’s their responsibility to make you into a better person. They do this by first pointing out your shortcomings directly and then providing advice on how you can improve.(在一个每个人对每件事都有自己看法的世界里，人们对彼此的错误和不完美吹毛求疵，而不注意自己的错误和不完美，这是很常见的。有些人错误地认为他们有责任让你成为一个更好的人。他们首先直接指出你的缺点，然后就如何改进提供建议)”结合文章探讨了如何应对批评，无论是给出批评还是接受批评，并提出了一些建议和策略。故选D“通过批评走向自我提升”最为合适。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Lessons that are Learned from the Olympics The Olympic Games are enjoyed by everyone.

The map, yellowed with age, described a mysterious island that had the legendary Silver Falcon, a statue that was said to award its finder enormous wisdom and fortune. As typical eighth graders with the excitement of discovery and dreams of greatness, they decided they would be the ones to discover this hidden treasure. They agreed to start this search during the up-and-coming spring break, keeping their plans a secret from the adults who would undoubtedly discourage such a dangerous adventure. The days that followed were filled with preparation. They read books on survival, learned about the stars for navigation, and tested their courage in smaller woods. The boys were united by their unshakable resolve and the promise of an adventure that could change their lives forever. As spring break began, they set out just as the sun painted the sky with colors of orange and gold. They felt a mixture of excitement and slight nervousness. They carried backpacks filled with supplies and the ancient map that they hoped would lead them to glory. The beginning of their journey was full of laughter and songs around the campfire but as days passed, the trip’s reality set in. The path grew more dangerous, and the maps guided them through thick woods and muddy wetlands. They learned to work together as their friendship was tested by constant challenges. Slowly, the island drew nearer. A conflict arose when they reached the foot of Mount Veritas, the final barrier before reaching the island. Lucas twisted his ankle, and the slightest movement sent sharp pains shooting through his leg. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 They realized they couldn’t leave Lucas behind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】They realized they couldn’t leave Lucas behind. With great determination, they carried Lucas through the last leg of their journey. After many struggles, they reached the top of the last hill. The island revealed itself in all its glory! Yet, as they sat together, they knew that it wasn’t about the wisdom or fortune the Silver Falcon could bring—it was about the memories they had created together and the lessons they learned along the way. It was their shared experiences and unbreakable bond that shone brightest, proving that true treasure lies within the hearts of those who cherish each other. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物冒险经历为线索展开，讲述了三个好朋友Jack，Simon和Lucas根据一张古老的地图一起去寻找传说中的宝藏的经历。 【详解】1.段落续写： 由首句内容“他们意识到不能把Lucas抛在后面”可知，本段可描写他们费尽心思带着受伤的Lucas一起到达山顶，发现了传说中的宝藏岛屿，但意识到真正的宝藏是他们共同度过的经历和牢固的友谊。 2.续写线索：带着Lucas一起——到达山顶——发现岛屿——感悟真正的宝藏。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①携带：carry/take along ②知道：know/be informed ③珍惜：cherish/treasure 情绪类 ①决心：determination/resolution ②牢不可破的：unbreakable/indestructible 【点睛】[高分句型1].
