However sometimes they cannot take the course they want to take due to different reasons like schedule conflicts. Take me for example. At the end of last semester (学期), my adviser told me the two classes I had chosen for this semester took place during the same period, which meant that I had to give up one of them. She recommended that I take the course called life management. I had never heard of that kind of course in China so I just followed her advice. On the first day of school, I found out that life management is an open class and every student is able to take the course. The teacher of the class told us honestly that this is an easy course that can increase our average score. It was really different from what I had expected. So I planned to drop the class. Then came the question: Could I change the class? In fact, students are able to change classes within the first month of the semester. During that month, there’s often a long queue at the office door and a lot of students want to switch courses. After the first week, I looked through courses that were available for me. I had two choices: biology and chemistry. Chemistry is for college students who would like a collection of degrees in 高二年级 9 月月考英语试卷 第 4页，共 8页 one specific area after high school. After having discussions and making choices, I switched my class from life management to grade 11 university-level biology. Although biology is quite difficult for me because of the many difficult words I have to use and understand, I will still try my best. To be honest, quite a lot of students want to change classes because they want easier courses. But I think challenging myself is always the best choice. I would rather get a lower mark in a course I can really learn from than get high scores in an easy open class. 24. According to the text, what can one easily get from the life management course? A. High marks. C. What one is most interested in. C. A better life. D. What makes one different from others. 25. What do we know from the passage about the first month of the semester? A. Few students follow their advisers. B. Students are free to switch courses if they wish. C. Teachers refuse students to change their courses. D. Teachers want to choose talented students for their courses. 26. Why did the writer finally choose biology? A. Because his teacher advised him to. B. Because he wanted to challenge himself. C. Because he wanted to do as other students did. D. Because it was easy for him to get a high score. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. Studying Hard Abroad. B. Choosing Can Be Tough. C. Courses in Canadian Schools Are Difficult. D. Courses in China High Schools Are Easier. C Lake Titicaca is a freshwater lake in the Andes mountains on the border of Bolivia. It’s the largest lake in South America. Dotted along the lake’s western corner, you can find dozens of artificial islands. Several thatched (茅草的 ) houses and structures sit on each island, some of which are only 30 meters or so wide, although larger ones exist. The floating platforms are built by piling layers upon layers of mixed totora (芦苇) roots. The totora plant is necessary to life on the lake. Its strong root fibers are used to make houses, boats, roofs and more, as well as used to make tea, traditional medicine, and tasty dishes known as “lake banana”. So the story goes, this unusual living arrangement emerged in the pre-Columbian era when the ambitious Inca Empire began invading (入侵) into the mainland villages of Uros. The Uros villages moved to Lake Titicaca where they built these floating platforms. If invading Inca came their way, the Uros could push these artificial islands out to the middle of the lake and flee their attack. The threat of the Inca Empire has long passed, but the tradition remains strong. Even today, it’s estimated that around 1,300 people live on some 100 constructed islands on Lake Titicaca. Maintaining the lifestyle isn’t easy. While totora is a tough material, the thatched organic material degrades due to the forces of nature over time, meaning the islands and homes are in a constant state of repair. 高一年级期中考试英语试卷 第 5页，共 8页 However, the traditional way of life isn’t without its modern benefits. Many of the islands have solar panels that power lights, radios, and television satellites. The lake’s artificial islands have also become a must-see place for tourists, with some locals even renting out their totora-thatched homes to travelers on Airbnb. 28. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The value of the totora plant. B. The process to build the islands. C. The islands made of water plants. D. The tradition and history of the Uros. 29. Why did Uros build dozens of artificial islands? A. To live an independent life. B. To preserve their old lifestyle. C. To build thatched houses on them. D. To protect themselves from Inca attacks. 30. What do visitors want to see most on the artificial islands? A. The Uros’ centuries-old tradition. B. The ruins of totora-thatched homes. C. The modern devices invented by Uros. D. The Inca Empire in the pre-Columbian era. 31. What is the purpose of the text? A. To persuade. B. To educate. C. To introduce. D. To advertise. D Maths is all around us, from working out how to share the bill after a meal to calculating (计 算 ) your household bills. Some people love the challenge of working out maths problems, but many fear the moment when they have to deal with numbers and figures and feel a real sense of worry. It can seem discouraging, but this ‘maths anxiety’ is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily reflect our ability. The problem really starts in childhood, at school. Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils, and girls may be more likely to be affected. The Programme for International Student Assessment found around 31% of 15 and 16-year-olds across 34 countries said they got very nervous doing maths problems, 33% said they got tense and nervous doing maths homework, and nearly 60% said they worried maths classes would be difficult. Shulamit Kahn, from Boston University, believes giving students, particularly girls, good role models “is significant, especially at a young age”. She thinks the key is to get people, especially women who love teaching maths, to teach younger children. It’s not clear why maths gives rise to so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s a right or wrong answer might make us more worried about underperforming. And once we assume we’re not a ‘maths person’, we avoid solving things that we probably could do. Psychologists (心理学家) have been trying to work out why mental calculation can bring us out in a sweat. That fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fears clearly can loosen their hold on you, and encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat (威胁 ). We need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance. 32.What does the author think about ‘maths anxiety’ mentioned in paragraph 1? A. It is unique. B. It is formal. C. It is common. D. It is necessary. 33. What can be inferred from paragraph 2? A. Girls are better at maths than boys. B. Maths classes are difficult for all students. 高二年级 9 月月考英语试卷 第 6页，共 8页 C. Students’ anxiety results entirely from teachers. D. Confidence in maths needs developing in childhood. 34. What will be a potential result if one thinks he is not a ‘maths person’? A. He will rise to challenges. B. He will study maths harder. C. He will be doubtful about his ability. D. He will not see maths as a threat. 35. What are children advised to do according to the last paragraph? A. Track sources of maths fear regularly. B. Speak fears out for improvement bravely. C. Explore causes of failure in maths carefully. D. Quit challenges to avoid anxiety actively. 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。 The benefits of hiking In today’s fast-paced world, it’s hard to find moments of peace. Yet, in modern life, nature remains an unchanging source of comfort and healing (治愈). 36 Here are some hiking benefits. ● Hiking invites you to slow down. Feeling overwhelmed by life? Take a break outside to disconnect from technology and enjoy nature's beauty. When you aren’t worrying about replying to texts or checking the likes on WeChat, you’re more likely to enter a state of presence. 37 It’s just you and your surroundings. ● Hiking inspires positive thinking. Have you ever been in a sea of negative thoughts? Negative thinking can be harmful. 38 Nature effectively reduces your anxiety. As you can see, nature has the power to put your negative thoughts on hold so you can enjoy the present moment. ● 39 Many studies have proven the beneficial effects on mental health. Physical activity causes the release of endorphin (a powerful chemical in your brain) which energizes your spirit, making you feel joyful. What’s great is no matter the shape you’re in, you can even benefit so much from a small hike. Overall, hiking has a positive impact on your mental and physical health. Whether you are suffering from negative emotions or just want a peaceful escape from the pressure in life, hiking is an exercise worth trying. Embracing nature allows you to search for something deep. 40 A. Hiking increases happiness. B. Hiking builds up your body. C. In this state, time seems to stop. D. It’s a way to realize our personal worth. E. In doing so, you’re also seeking your own true nature. F. Hiking is a great way to get out in nature and get some exercise. G. Luckily, going on a hike can help you shift your awareness away from it. 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。 Cheerleader try-outs were just around the corner.

For me, it was 56 piece of terrible news. I was not good at winter sports, and everyone would laugh at me. I told my mother my worry. “You might be surprised, Alice,” said Mom. “The only way to find out the 57 (true) is to try bravely.” After arriving at the camp, we were 58 (ask) to skate down to the field. I skated carefully, but I still fell down. Somebody started laughing at me 59 (loud). Just when I didn’t know 60 to do, I noticed a girl in the same situation as me.

Her family had just moved here from San Francisco having bought a small restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days. “Moving here was a stupid idea. I have lost all my friends in San Francisco. What should I do now?” Meimei grumbled, mostly to herself. “What’s that?” Her mother asked, opening a box and lifting out several pots Meimei made. “Nothing,” Meimei mumbled. The girl had been complaining about the move, but her parents had made the decision and were now too busy getting ready for the grand opening to listen to her complaints. The first few days at her new school hadn’t been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn’t know, and it seemed like the students hadn't even noticed her. Meimei sighed and got back to washing dishes. On the day of the grand opening, Meimei’s parents were all smiles welcoming customers into the restaurant, brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Meimei was in a good mood as she rushed around, seating guests, handing out menus, and pouring tall glasses of water. This was a big day for her family. At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Meimei’s age. As she filled their glasses, Meimei realized the twins were in her class. Meimei ducked her head down so her long hair covered her face. She turned away from the table and went back to the kitchen. 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。 “Mom. I don’t want to be out there!” Meimei murmured, head drooping. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ Meimei left the kitchen with a plate of cookies and went to the twins’ table. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________
