B After analyzing 14.5 billion words used in daily news coverage in 2021, The Oxford English Dictionary has chosen “vax” as the Word of the Year. Oxford Languages, the publisher of the dictionary, reported that “Vax”, the shortened term for “vaccine”, has injected itself into the bloodstream of the English language, and is a catchy and punchy word for 2021. A contributing factor to its rise in 2021— aside from its obvious relation to the COVID vaccine drive— is its adaptability, according to Fiona McPherson, a senior editor of The Oxford English Dictionary. It can mean either vaccine or vaccination as a noun and vaccinate as a verb, and it is the root of many other phrases such as “vax cards”, “vax passports”, and “getting vaxxied”. The word has also been changed into other inventive words like vaxxie, a selfie taken during or immediately before or after one’s vaccination. “It has made the most striking impact,” said Fiona MePherson. Vax and vaxx are both accepted spellings, but the form with one x is more common. It was first recorded in English in 1799, while its derivatives (衍生词) “vaccinate” and “vaccination” both first appeared in 1800. All of these words ultimately came from the Latin word “vacca”, which means “cow”. According to The Oxford English Dictionary, this is due to English physician and scientist Edward Jenner’s pioneering work on vaccination against smallpox in the late 1790s and early 1800s. “The word’s highest frequency in usage caught our attention first. Then we ran the analysis and a story started to emerge, revealing how ‘vax’ sat at the centre of our preoccupations this year,” Casper Grathwohl, the president of Oxford Languages, said in an interview. “No word better captures the atmosphere of the year than ‘vax’” 4. Which of the following best describes the word vax? A. Fixed. B. Complex. C. Adaptable. D. Boring. 5. What is the origin of the word vax? A. Edward Jenner’s pioneering work. B. The Latin word vacca. C. The Latin word cow. D. The Oxford English Dictionary. 6. Why is vax chosen as the Word of the Year? A. It is from The Oxford English Dictionary. B. It is accepted by Oxford Languages. C. It appears most frequently in news. D. It is reporters’ favorite word. 7. What does the text mainly talk about? A Choosing vax as the Word of 2021. B. Making vax changeable. C. Researching the origin of vax. D. Analyzing vax in The Oxford English Dictionary. C Calling vegetables and fruits “ugly” can be a recipe for sales success, according to a new study. A French supermarket chain made international headlines when it began marketing misshapen produce as “ugly” in 2014. Since then, food stores around the world have launched campaigns to sell “imperfect produce”. Some have been successful, while others haven’t — but until now, researchers hadn’t adequately explained why consumers rejected imperfect produce, or what marketing approach was most likely to whet their appetites. The researchers conducted seven studies that tested the effects of “ugly” labeling by having participants purchase produce at a farmer’s market and online, and by examining people’s impressions about misshapen foods. Interestingly, they found that consumers expected the imperfect produce to be less tasty and even less nutritious than more traditionally attractive foods. But it’s not all bad news for unattractive foods. The researchers also found that when the produce is labeled “ugly”, consumer hesitancy disappears — and it’s not because of humor or originality. Calling items “ugly” signals to consumers that the only difference between items is appearance, which makes them aware of their bias (偏见) and significantly increases their willingness to buy the less attractive produce. “We’re pointing to the source of the rejection,” explains John Meredith, the lead researcher. “It makes people aware of the limited nature of their objection to the unattractive produce and makes it clear to consumers that there are no other problems in the produce other than attractiveness.” The research also found consumers spent more on the misshapen produce labeled “ugly” instead of “imperfect”. And even though the ugly produce was sold at a 25 percent discount, it turned out to be more profitable for sellers, as the cost of acquiring the ugly produce was lower. However, if the price reduction was too sharp, participants expected the “ugly” foods to be of low quality. 8. What is the new study mainly about? A. Food quality. B. Consumer demand. C. Marketing approach. D. Bias against appearance. 9. What does the underlined phrase “whet their appetites” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Satisfy their need to eat better. B. Stimulate their desire of buying. C. Encourage them to risk trying out. D. Raise their concerns about nutrition. 10. Why are people willing to buy ugly-labeled produce without hesitation? A. They are happy to spend less and have more. B. They are curious about the special shapes of produce. C. They are attracted by the funny and creative idea of labeling. D. They are led to believe ugly produce has no quality problems. 11. Which way helps food sellers make more profit according to the study? A. Call the ugly produce “ugly”. B. Label the ugly produce “imperfect”. C Group the produce by its attractiveness. D. Price the ugly produce at a sharp discount. D Since pre-industrial times, the world’s oceans have warmed by an average of 1 degree Celsius. Now researchers report that those rising temperatures have led to widespread changes in the population size of marine（海洋）species. A new study from the University of Bristol,UK, aims to find out how climate change is impacting the distribution,population and seasonality of marine species. The study’s senior author,Martin Genner, an evolutionary ecologist, said: “We found the same trend across all groups of marine life we looked at， from plankton（浮游生物）to marine invertebrates（无脊椎动物），and from fish to seabirds. ” Based on these findings,researchers reasoned that marine species should be doing well at the leading edge of their ranges but poorly at their trailing side. The study found that 304 widely distributed marine species over the last century were indeed more abundant（大量的）at the poleward ends of their sample range. This suggests that marine species haven’t managed to adapt to warmer conditions. They may continue to move poleward as sea temperatures increase further,impactiing the livelihood of equatorward coastal towns. “This matters because it means that climate change is not only leading to abundance changes,but affects the performance of species locally,” Genner said. “While some marine life may benefit as the ocean warms,we will also see continued loss of marine in the near future. ” The researchers said that more work is needed to understand how climate change has affected marine life in all regions of the world in greater detail. Genner questioned, “Is this mainly related to the physiological（生理的）limits of the species, or instead due to changes in the species with which they interact?” 12. What does the new study from the University of Bristol try to discover? A. How many marine species the climate change influences. B. Directions in which marine species move in different seasons. C. How the climate change affects the population of marine species. D. Similarities between certain species affected by the climate change. 13. What did the study find? A. There are new marine species in the poles. B. At least 304 marine species were less widely distributed. C. There is a sharp decline in the number of marine species. D. The abundance of many marine species increased on poleward sides. 14. What does the finding suggest? A. Climate change can make the coast inhabitable. B. Marine species haven’t adjusted to warmer temperatures. C. Marine species may continue to move toward the equator. D. Ocean warming improves the environment for marine species. 15. According to the text, what should future research focus on? A. The interaction among marine species. B. The physiological limits of marine species. C. The other possible factors behind this trend. D. The changes in the performance of local species. 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。 How does it feel when you solve your problem by yourself?

The bell’s ringing brought her out of her daydreaming. She nervously gathered her books, preparing to reach another classroom for the next new class. Lily followed the other kids and rushed into the hallway. Others walked in groups, chatted, and laughed, using the break to socialize. Lily, instead, walked alone along the wall of the hallway, with her head down. She was a shy girl, afraid to speak in front of other kids, and didn’t think others would like her. Lily finally sat in Mr. Johnson’s Language Arts class nervously. “Welcome to Language Arts,” said Mr. Johnson. He told jokes as he talked about English. Lily forgot to daydream and laughed along with the rest of the class. “We’ll have some fun with language,” he said. “Just wait and see.” Fun was far beyond what Lily desired. She just wanted to be like other kids—running with friends in the hallway, laughing and joking between classes. Reminded of her pimply (长粉刺的) face, she felt hopeless and disappointed. “Take out a piece of paper,” the teacher continued, when pointing at words on the blackboard. “Write for the next thirty minutes on this topic.” Lily began writing crazily as idea after idea fought for recognition in her head. The final result was a short story about a beautiful beach house. As she wrote, she could smell the salty air, hear the crashing waves and feel the pull of the sand beneath her feet. For just a moment, she forgot where she was. She was lost in the story. “OK, pass your papers forward,” said the teacher. “Let’s see what we have.” For the rest of the class time, the teacher read each individual work aloud. Lily originally thought it would be awkward. However, she was gradually attracted by the excitement in the teacher’s voice. “He’s actually enjoying this,” she thought. When the class would be soon over, there were still fifteen students’ papers not read, including Lily’s paper. Then, Mr. Johnson announced his decision, asking these students to read their work themselves in front of the class next class. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: A week later, the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After Lily finished her reading, the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1—5 ABCCA 6—10 ACBBA 11—15 BABCA 16—20 CBACC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 葫芦岛市长江卫生中等职业技术学校2024—2025学年度（上）高一九月期初考试 英语试题 考生注意： 1．本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3．考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分）（略） 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 Internet Genealogy It is your guide to successful genealogy research using the World Wide Web.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究表明，将丑陋的蔬菜和水果标上“丑陋”标签可以增加消费者的购买意愿。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段内容“Calling vegetables and fruits “ugly” can be a recipe for sales success, according to a new study.”（根据一项新的研究，称蔬菜和水果“丑陋”可能是销售成功的秘诀。）可知，一项新的研究表明，称蔬菜和水果“丑陋”可能是销售成功的秘诀，由此可知，称蔬菜和水果“丑陋”是一种成功的营销方法，这项新的研究主要是关于营销方法的研究。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线短语上句“researchers hadn’t adequately explained why consumers rejected imperfect produce”（研究人员没有充分解释消费者拒绝不完美产品的原因）可知，研究者想知道为什么消费者拒绝不完美产品，由此可知，画线短语所在句指的是研究者想知道什么样的营销方式能激发消费者购买不完美产品的欲望，“Stimulate their desire of buying”意为“激发他们的购买欲望”，能够表达画线短语在句中所要表达的意思。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段关键句“Calling items “ugly” signals to consumers that the only difference between items is appearance, which makes them aware of their bias (偏见) and significantly increases their willingness to buy the less attractive produce.”（将商品称为“丑陋”向消费者表明，商品之间的唯一区别在于外观，这让他们意识到自己的偏见并显著增加了他们购买吸引力较低产品的意愿。）可知，将商品贴上“丑陋”标签向消费者表明，商品之间的唯一区别在于外观，质量上没有差别，这让消费者放弃偏见，增加购买意愿，由此可知，人们会毫不犹豫地购买带有丑陋标签的产品是因为他们被引导相信丑陋的产品没有质量问题。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“The research also found consumers spent more on the misshapen produce labeled “ugly” instead of “imperfect”. And even though the ugly produce was sold at a 25 percent discount, it turned out to be more profitable for sellers, as the cost of acquiring the ugly produce was lower.”（研究还发现，消费者在标有“丑陋”而非“不完美”的畸形产品上花费更多。尽管丑陋的农产品以25%的折扣出售，但事实证明，由于购买丑陋农产品的成本较低，这对销售商来说更有利可图。）可知，将畸形产品贴上“丑陋”标签，消费者更愿意购买，并且销售商购买丑陋农产品的成本较低，所以尽管丑陋的农产品以25%的折扣出售，但对销售商来说更有利可图，由此可知，把丑陋的产品称为“丑陋”可以帮助食品销售商获得更多利润。故选A项。 D Since pre-industrial times, the world’s oceans have warmed by an average of 1 degree Celsius. Now researchers report that those rising temperatures have led to widespread changes in the population size of marine（海洋的）species. A new study from the University of Bristol,UK, aims to find out how climate change is impacting the distribution,population and seasonality of marine species. The study’s senior author,Martin Genner, an evolutionary ecologist, said: “We found the same trend across all groups of marine life we looked at， from plankton（浮游生物）to marine invertebrates（无脊椎动物），and from fish to seabirds. ” Based on these findings,researchers reasoned that marine species should be doing well at the leading edge of their ranges but poorly at their trailing side. The study found that 304 widely distributed marine species over the last century were indeed more abundant（大量的）at the poleward ends of their sample range. This suggests that marine species haven’t managed to adapt to warmer conditions. They may continue to move poleward as sea temperatures increase further,impactiing the livelihood of equatorward coastal towns. “This matters because it means that climate change is not only leading to abundance changes,but affects the performance of species locally,” Genner said. “While some marine life may benefit as the ocean warms,we will also see continued loss of marine in the near future. ” The researchers said that more work is needed to understand how climate change has affected marine life in all regions of the world in greater detail. Genner questioned, “Is this mainly related to the physiological（生理的）limits of the species, or instead due to changes in the species with which they interact?” 12. What does the new study from the University of Bristol try to discover? A. How many marine species the climate change influences. B. Directions in which marine species move in different seasons. C. How the climate change affects the population of marine species. D. Similarities between certain species affected by the climate change. 13. What did the study find? A. There are new marine species in the poles. B. At least 304 marine species were less widely distributed. C. There is a sharp decline in the number of marine species. D. The abundance of many marine species increased on poleward sides. 14. What does the finding suggest? A. Climate change can make the coast inhabitable. B. Marine species haven’t adjusted to warmer temperatures. C. Marine species may continue to move toward the equator. D. Ocean warming improves the environment for marine species. 15. According to the text, what should future research focus on? A. The interaction among marine species. B. The physiological limits of marine species. C. The other possible factors behind this trend. D. The changes in the performance of local species. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了气候变化对于海洋物种的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“A new study from the University of Bristol, UK, aims to find out how climate change is impacting the distribution, population and seasonality of marine species.（英国布里斯托尔大学的一项新研究旨在找出气候变化是如何影响海洋物种的分布、数量和季节性的）”可知，Bristol大学研究的目的是为了找出气候变化是如何影响海洋物种分布，数量及季节性。选项C符合语意。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The study found that 304 widely distributed marine species over the last century were indeed more abundant（大量的）at the poleward ends of their sample range.”（研究发现，在上个世纪，304种广泛分布的海洋物种在其样本范围的极地末端确实更为丰富）”可知，许多海洋物种的丰富性在两极增加。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段第二句“This suggests that marine species haven’t managed to adapt to warmer conditions.（这表明海洋物种还没有设法适应更温暖的环境）”可知，海洋物种还没有适应变暖的温度。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The researchers said that more work is needed to understand how climate change has affected marine life in all regions of the world in greater detail. Genner questioned, “Is this mainly related to the physiological limits of the species, or instead due to changes in the species with which they interact?”（研究人员说，需要做更多的工作来更详细地了解气候变化如何影响世界所有地区的海洋生物。詹纳问道:“这主要与物种的生理极限有关，还是与它们相互作用的物种发生了变化?”）”，由此可知，未来的研究应该关注这一趋势背后的其它可能因素。选项C符合语意。故选C。 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。 How does it feel when you solve your problem by yourself? Things may not always go as planned, but being resourceful can help you stay calm and work your way out of tricky situations. Being resourceful means finding smart and creative ways to solve a problem, using whatever resources you have at the time. ____16____ They can also be anything else that’s useful, such as information, advice or your own experience. It also means trusting your instincts, the ability you’re born with, rather than through training and being confident about your ability to face challenges. A resourceful person is not the one getting cross or panicking when something goes wrong. They’re thinking about how to solve the problem. _____17_____ when we learn to problem solve for ourselves rather than immediately going to others for help, it can help to build our confidence, help us feel more independent, and feel better about making decisions. Being resourceful may not help you avoid problems, but thinking creatively about how you can deal with them will make you feel less stressed and more prepared next time. _____18_____ This can boost self-esteem, that is, how you feel about yourself. When you’re facing a challenge, try to focus on the actual problem rather than how you feel about it. Think about where and when it happened and what the causes are. Next, think up as many solutions to the problem as you can. ____19____ Finally, review what has and hasn’t worked, so you’re equipped to deal with a situation next time. And remember, if you have a tricky problem that you’re unable to solve, then ask a trusted adult for help. ____20____ A. You also learn what you’re good at. B. Here is how you can be more resourceful. C. These may be practical things like pens and paper. D. No one is expected to solve all problems by themselves. E. Resourcefulness is a skill that’s good for you in lots of ways. F. They can be famous mottos that always inspire us to move on. G. Weigh up what’s good and bad about each one and choose the best. 【答案】16. F 17. E 18. A 19. G 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了遇到棘手的问题时的应对方法，要足智多谋，随机应变。 【16题详解】 根据前句“Being resourceful means finding smart and creative ways to solve a problem, using whatever resources you have at the time. (足智多谋意味着找到聪明和创造性的方法来解决问题，利用你当时拥有的任何资源。)”和后句“They can also be anything else that’s useful, such as information, advice or your own experience. (它们也可以是任何有用的东西，比如信息、建议或你自己的经历。)”中的also可知，空处和下文为并列关系，也是在列举可以利用的资源可能是什么。所以选择项F“These may be famous mottos that always inspire us to move on. (这些可能是著名的座右铭，总是激励我们继续前进。)”符合上下文语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 挖空处在段首，有可能是段落的主旨句。而后面“…it can help to build our confidence, help us feel more independent, and feel better about making decisions.(它可以帮助我们建立信心，帮助我们感到更独立，在做决定时感觉更好)”及“Being resourceful may not help you avoid problems, but thinking creatively about how you can deal with them will make you feel less stressed and more prepared next time.(足智多谋或许不能帮助你避免问题，但创造性地思考如何处理问题会让你感觉压力更小，下次准备更充分)”主要说的是“being resourceful”带来的好处， E选项意思就是resourcefulness 能带来很多好处。故选E。 【18题详解】 该段首句说的是“being resourceful”会对你有好处，前面两句“…it can help to build our confidence, help us feel more independent, and feel better about making decisions.(...它可以帮助我们建立信心，帮助我们感到更独立，在做决定时感觉更好)”及“Being resourceful may not help you avoid problems, but thinking creatively about how you can deal with them will make you feel less stressed and more prepared next time.(足智多谋或许不能帮助你避免问题，但创造性地思考如何处理问题会让你感觉压力更小，下次准备更充分)”具体列举了“being resourceful”带来的好处，A选项：你还能知道你所擅长的是什么，对自己更加了解，也契合下一句“This can boost self-esteem, that is, how you feel about yourself.这能提高自尊心。这是又一个好处，A项最符合语境。故选A。 【19题详解】 该段在讨论遇到困难时，要专注于问题本身，并列出了具体的步骤。上一句“Next, think up as many solutions to the problem as you can.(接下来，想出尽可能多的方法来解决问题)”讲的是“尽可能多地想出一些解决措施”，G选项：然后衡量它们的好坏，选出最佳的一个，其中them指代上一句solutions，G项填到此处最合适。故选G。 【20题详解】 上一句“And remember, if you have a tricky problem that you’re unable to solve, then ask a trusted adult for help.(记住，如果你有一个棘手的问题，你无法解决，然后向一个值得信任的成年人寻求帮助)”表示自己实在解决不了，你还可以求助其他人，D选项意为“没有人是被期望要独自解决所有问题的”，与上文意义一致。故填D。 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。 When Crystal was riding a bike to the local Wildlife Center last December, she was scheduled to go bird-watching.

As China develops economically, opportunities for ____39____ (do) business increase dramatically. If you know your partner’s language, your chances of success increase. But there is also a renewed interest in the culture and traditions of China. In fact, the Chinese culture for over 5,000 years is ____40____ source of curiosity and fascination for people in other parts of the world.

The bell’s ringing brought her out of her daydreaming. She nervously gathered her books, preparing to reach another classroom for the next new class. Lily followed the other kids and rushed into the hallway. Others walked in groups, chatted, and laughed, using the break to socialize. Lily, instead, walked alone along the wall of the hallway, with her head down. She was a shy girl, afraid to speak in front of other kids, and didn’t think others would like her. Lily finally sat in Mr. Johnson’s Language Arts class nervously. “Welcome to Language Arts,” said Mr. Johnson. He told jokes as he talked about English. Lily forgot to daydream and laughed along with the rest of the class. “We’ll have some fun with language,” he said. “Just wait and see.” Fun was far beyond what Lily desired. She just wanted to be like other kids—running with friends in the hallway, laughing and joking between classes. Reminded of her pimply (长粉刺的) face, she felt hopeless and disappointed. “Take out a piece of paper,” the teacher continued, when pointing at words on the blackboard. “Write for the next thirty minutes on this topic.” Lily began writing crazily as idea after idea fought for recognition in her head. The final result was a short story about a beautiful beach house. As she wrote, she could smell the salty air, hear the crashing waves and feel the pull of the sand beneath her feet. For just a moment, she forgot where she was. She was lost in the story. “OK, pass your papers forward,” said the teacher. “Let’s see what we have.” For the rest of the class time, the teacher read each individual work aloud. Lily originally thought it would be awkward. However, she was gradually attracted by the excitement in the teacher’s voice. “He’s actually enjoying this,” she thought. When the class would be soon over, there were still fifteen students’ papers not read, including Lily’s paper. Then, Mr. Johnson announced his decision, asking these students to read their work themselves in front of the class next class. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: A week later, the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After Lily finished her reading, the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version： A week later, the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again. Lily was nervous with her head down. After other students finished reading the papers one by one, finally, it was Lily’s turn. Frozen with fear, Lily stood in front of the class, with her hands holding her paper, shaking. Seeing it, Mr. Johnson told a funny joke, which made all laugh. Feeling more relaxed, Lily began reading. She was so focused that she felt she was alone. She didn’t notice that her story soon attracted all her classmates who sat up straight, without any chatting. They were lost in her fantastic story. After Lily finished her reading, the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time. Lily was shocked. When she raised her head, she found everyone staring at her excitedly.
