The way the shadows（阴影）pass through the arches makes the park particularly attractive for photographers. Sitting 5 miles northwest of Moab, Utah, the park has 26 miles of scenic road and hikes for every level of fitness. Best Months to Visit The best time to visit Arches National Park is from April to May and from September to October. In summer, temperatures can go beyond 100 degrees, making exploring the park very uncomfortable. In late summer, violent storms often cause flash floods, which can be quite dangerous. Winter is a good time for sightseeing, with fewer crowds, but occasional snow and ice can make the paths wet, smooth and therefore easy to fall on. However, the visitor center is open daily. What to Eat There are no restaurants or hotels in Arches National Park, so you need to bring your own food or plan to eat in neighboring Moab, Utah, about 5 miles from the park entrance. There are several picnic areas in the park, so plan ahead if you want to eat with Arches as the background. Getting Around Arches National Park The best way to get around Arches National Park is by car. There is no public transport inside Arches National Park. Visitors can also ride bikes in the park, but there are no bike lanes or shoulders, so this is more of an option for experienced cyclists. 21．What may visitors do at Arches National Park? A．Have dinner in restaurants. B.Stay in the hotel for a few days. C．Learn about another planet. D.Take some photographs. 22．What is a disadvantage of visiting the park in winter? A．The crowds of tourists. B．The danger of flash floods. C．The risk of falling. D．The shutdown of the visitor center. 23．Where is this text probably taken from? A．A tourism website. B．A geography book. C．A science book. D．An academic article. B In my early teens, I was once given a film camera as a gift . On receiving it, I jumped on my bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and wildlife. I was out all day. On my way home I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its beauty. Rushing home, I put the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see how it would come out. I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing. As I grew into adulthood, that simple, deep happiness gradually faded away. One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls, my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. I thought I needed a change. I took out the camera and dusted it down. It was a great joy that it still worked. I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went. Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys, to allow me time to myself. Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me. The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment on display, along with photos I've taken. To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight. 24．What did the author think of taking photos as a young boy? A．Inspiring and practical. B．Exciting and worthwhile. C．Tiring yet delightful. D．Difficult yet engaging. 25．Why did the author stop taking photos according to paragraph 2? A．He was faced with increasing pressure. B．He was struck by sudden sorrow. C．He attempted to behave like an adult. D．He wanted to focus on his work 26．What did the author get from picking up his hobby? A．New journeys in the wild. B．More fun in the daily routine. C．Better skills of observation. D．Different styles of photography. 27．What is the best title for the text? A．Regaining Pleasure Through Photography B．Appreciating Beauty Behind the Lens C．Escaping Teenage Sadness with Camera D．Revisiting Lost Childhood Memories C William Lindesay, a famous Great Wall expert and conservationist, and his wife Wu Qi have traveled the globe by the back paths, providing their sons with a unique growing environment. Sun hats, backpacks and sneakers (运动鞋)—these are the day-to-day must-haves for the family. Most of their trips seem far from relaxing—cultural study in the hot and dry desert, a 53-kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one-day climb to three English mountaintops and a six-day train ride from Beijing to Moscow. Many assume the family must be wealthy and can afford their global travel, but they are not. Lindesay says they just choose to spend money on travel and eschew pricey hotels and restaurants where possible. Lindesay mentions the trip to Moscow as an example. Instead of taking a taxi from the railway station to the hotel, they took the subway. “We crossed the city for saving money, communicated with local people, and saw they are people just like us, everywhere. We arrived at our destination feeling comfortable.” However, their journeys, which can last weeks or months, have sometimes been inconsistent with their children’s schooling. Wu remembers once Lindesay let their elder son ask for leave so that they could go to New York for a 45-day lecture tour. Therefore the son missed his final exam. Things like that bother the family all the time. Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but traveling outside, in distant lands with different languages, cultures, and political structures, is the real test. “You can only get streetwise on the street. You can only get worldly-wise when seeing the world,” he says. 28．How can we describe the Lindesays’ trips? A．Pleasant. B．Dangerous. C．relaxing. D．Challenging. 29．What does the underlined word “eschew” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Compare. B．Visit. C．Avoid. D．Evaluate. 30．What problem does the family meet when traveling? A．They suffer from a tight budget（预算）. B．They are faced with language barriers. C．They have scheduling conflicts(冲突). D．They hold different educational ideas. 31．Which statement may Lindesay agree with according to the text? A．Nothing is so necessary for travelers as languages. B．Man who travels far knows more. C．Actions speak louder than words. D．There is no royal road to learning. D The Summer Olympics in Paris is always impressive, but 2024 promised something extraordinary even before the games began — the seats you are sitting on! Made from locally recycled plastic, these seats are sustainability (可持续性) champions in their own right. The Paris 2024 Summer Olympics made history in terms of sustainability, as 11,000 stadium seats made entirely of recycled plastic are used during the water sports. The plastic used for the seats was collected from recycling bins in the Seine-Saint-Denis neighborhood, and 80% of the 100 metric tons needed for the seats came from this area. The collected plastic was cut and torn into small pieces, processed and turned into new material by a local recycling firm called Le Pavé. After the base materials are produced into plastic seats with different colors, the seats have gone through numerous tests, including mechanical resistance（抵抗）, fire resistance, as well as UV resistance. The recycled plastic chairs proved to be strong and durable, with producers reporting no problems in the production process. The use of recycled plastic seats is part of Paris and France’s commitment to sustainability, with the goal of reducing downstream emissions (排放) by 50% compared to the 2012 and 2016 games. Additionally, the city is working to fight against environment worsening by making the Seine River swimmable for the first time in decades, in an effort to host the triathlon (铁人三项) there. The recycled plastic seats not only promote sustainability but also raise awareness about waste recycling, with children being encouraged to throw their plastic bottles into appropriate bins. The Paris Olympics’ use of recycled plastic seats demonstrates the potential of a circular economy, where waste is repurposed and reused, ultimately reducing the amount of plastic waste in landfills and oceans. 32．What is special about the seats for the 2024 Paris Olympics? A．They won the championship in a competition. B．They are made with a mix of plastic types. C．They are produced from local raw materials. D．They are made from recyclable plastic. 33．Where was the plastic for the seats mostly collected from? A．Recycling firms. B．All over France. C．Local recycling bins. D．International suppliers. 34．What does the numerous tests mainly show in paragraph 3? A．The production process of the seats. B．The advantages of the seats. C．The difficulty of producing the seats. D．The significance of the plastic seats. 35．What is one of the goals of using recycled plastic seats at the Paris Olympics? A．To contribute to environmental efforts. B．To reduce energy consumption. C．To attract more attention to the games. D．To create continued economic growth. 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。 Most of us have heard the phrase “Laughter is the best medicine.” 36 .

I’ve always loved running, so I was really happy when I found out I lived next to Central Park. It meant that every morning I could go for a run before I went to work. Because a lot of people had told me to be careful of robbers in the park, so usually I didn’t take anything with me. How could they rob（抢劫）me if I didn’t have anything? But one morning, my wife gave me a $10 bill and asked me to buy some bread on the way. It was a beautiful morning and the park was quiet with very few people walking or jogging around. While I was running through the park, another jogger knocked into me. He apologized and continued running. For a while, I didn’t think too much of it. However, when I noticed the wide path where I was running, I thought it was kind of strange. The warning of robbers in the park occurred to me. “It could have been a robber!” I suddenly became alarmed, so I checked my pocket and found that the money was missing. Without thinking twice, I ran after that jogger. I finally caught up and held him by the arm. I shouted, “Give me the $10 bill! Now!” I am not usually a hot-headed (性急的) person, but I got really angry this time. I couldn’t believe the robbery was actually happening to me. Filled with anger, I shook my fist at him. This seemed to frighten him. He quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me the money. Then he ran away as fast as he could. I bought the bread and went home. As soon as I got home, I couldn’t wait to tell my wife my story. “You won’t believe what happened to me,” I started with pride. She immediately stopped me, “I know, you left the money for the bread on the kitchen table.” 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。 Looking at the money on the table, I stood there, shocked. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ For several days, I waited at the same place. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 武威八中2024年秋学期高二年级期中考试试卷 英语答案 听力 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 C B A A C B A C B A 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 B C C A B C A A B B 阅读 21． D 22．C 23．A 24．B 25．A 26．B 27.

Firstly, you can talk about the benefits of humour. Humour can not only help people relieve stress and anxiety but also give people a sense of well-being. In addition, people can watch comedies and read funny stories to get humour. Finally, you can talk about how to make use of humour. For example, we can play a joke to amuse ourselves because laughing sometimes can make people in a good mood. Hope you will make a good speech and win the prize. Yours, Li Hua 读后续写 参考范文： 【答案】 Looking at the money on the table, I stood there, shocked. For the rest of the day, I felt extremely guilty, with the innocent jogger and his “helplessness” on my mind. How could I be so rude to him without knowing the truth? Why was it that the jogger gave me the money? I still remember his frightened face when I scared him away like a monster. I decided to find a chance to apologize to him. The next morning, I got up and went to the park as usual, but not for jogging. I just hung around where I met that jogger, but in vain. For several days, I waited at the same place. But to my disappointment, he didn’t turn up. It was almost a week later before I finally spotted him again. I, the “robber”, gave the $10 bill back to him and said sorry to him again and again. Fortunately, he forgave me for what I had done to him and said, “Oh, it doesn’t matter.” Many years have passed, but I can still feel my cheeks burning with shame. From the experience I have learned that it is too early to judge a person before you know the truth. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在中央公园晨跑时，误以为妻子给自己的面包钱被撞他的慢跑者偷走，作者追回了钱。回到家却发现自己的钱被遗忘在了家里。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“看着桌子上的钱，我震惊地站在那里。”可知，第一段可描写作者感觉内疚，并决定向对方道歉，第二天仍然去公园，为了遇见那位慢跑者。 ②由第二段首句内容“我在同一个地方等了好几天。”可知，第二段可描写作者再次见到那位慢跑者，还钱并道歉，得到了对方的原谅。 2.续写线索：感觉内疚——决定道歉——等候慢跑者——再见面——还钱、道歉并得到原谅——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①归还：give back/return ②决定做：decide to do/make up one’s mind to do ③道歉：apologize/make an apology 情绪类 ①惊恐的：frightened/alarmed/scared ②内疚的： guilty/sinful 【点睛】【高分句型1】I still remember his frightened face when I scared him away like a monster.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】It was almost a week later before I finally spotted him again.（运用了before引导的时间状语从句） 1．C 【原文】M: Which team is your daughter in?

He developed the idea for the television sports show and hosted ABC's Wide World of Sports, which showed a variety of sports on Saturday afternoon.

It became a hit, and almost immediately ABC created a new show built around outdoor amusement the American sportsman. Hosted by Kirk Gowdy, the show focused on fishing and hunting experiences involving famous persons from movie stars, athletes to educators. For millions of Americans, the show was their window to the natural world. Gowdy, an active environmentalist, was a member of the conservation hall of fame international. To honor his work, the state of Wyoming built the Kurt Gowdy state park in 1972. The park lies above 6,450 feet in height.
