You’ll also learn how to be more aware of your thoughts and feelings in the moment using powerful mindfulness tools, and build a plan of action for the future based on your values. Make Your Bed According to Admiral William H. McRaven, changing the world can begin with one step: making your bed. In this book, Admiral McRaven shares tales from his life, including his time devoted to the military, providing practical advice, wisdom and words of encouragement to readers of all ages. Shoot Your Shot It’s written by Vernon Brundage Jr. in the context of basketball and divided into “quarters”, similar to a basketball game. Throughout the book, readers learn life lessons gained and practiced by some of the greatest athletes, including Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Stephen Curry. Shoot Your Shot aims to encourage readers to find success in anything they do in life, whether it’s athletics, academics, the arts, or something in between. Never Fight Alone Sometimes, teens just want to be heard by someone who understands, like some one of their own age. Written by Shelomo Solson, Never Fight Alone consists of 51 inspiring interviews with people — from former professional athletes to authors and teen entrepreneurs — who have faced various life problems, like anxiety, depression, and more. These interviewees detail how they overcame life challenges and provide tips for readers to do the same. 1. Which book refers to military life? A. Shoot Your Shot. B. Just as You Are. C.

B From a young age, Dorothy Jean Tillman excelled in her academic pursuits. By age 7, she was already doing high school work. At that point, she started to take college-level tests and apply the credits toward higher education. By age 14, Dorothy had obtained an associate’s, bachelor’s and master’s degree. And she was a year into launching a science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) camp startup, and was looking for funding for the organization. Fast-forward two years, when 17-year-old Dorothy successfully delivered her graduation paper. Now, at 18, she is officially Dr. Dorothy Jean Tillman after attending the graduation ceremony at Arizona State University (ASU)’s College of Health Solutions on May 8. In addition to her school work, Dorothy also devotes her time to running the Dorothy Jeanius STEAM Leadership Institute, which prompts hundreds of young people in Chicago, as well as abroad in countries like Ghana and South Africa, to pursue STEAM careers. The program includes guest speakers and open conversations around each of the five areas of STEAM. “We just want to provide them with all possible resources and the best foundation to be able to start walking on that pathway to their dreams,” she says. While so many people wonder at the success she’s achieved, Dorothy says she is still a normal teen who spends time with family and friends. She gives credit to her mother as one of her greatest motivators. “I definitely couldn’t have got this far without her. She’s definitely the best teammate and the best supporter,” she says. Another inspiration for Dorothy is her grandmother, former Chicago official Dorothy Tillman, who worked alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights movement. After graduating from ASU, Dorothy hopes to continue developing her camps and start applying her studies on integrated behavioral health into her work. “There is a potential for franchising (授予特许经营权) the camps one day so more kids gain something,” she says.

C People all over the world watch the Olympic Games on TV, cheer on their nations’ athletes, and get into the spirit of friendly international competition. Yet how many people know how these games came about and why they were created? Who came up with the idea of an Olympic torch (火炬)? Looking back in time can answer those questions. The first Olympic Games in recorded history took place in 776 BC on the ancient plains of Olympia in southern Greece. These ancient games took place in a religious festival and were devoted to the Olympian gods. They continued for almost twelve centuries until Emperor Theodosius banned them in AD 393. It was about 1,500 years after the last Olympics that the ancient games were revived (复兴). Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a Frenchman devoted to the promotion of physical education, was inspired to create a modern Olympic Games after he visited the ancient Olympic site. The first modern Olympic Games took place in Athens, Greece, in 1896, and were attended by 280 athletes from 12 countries, who competed in 43 events. In 2004, the Olympic Games returned to Greece with nearly 11,000 athletes representing 201 countries. The first opening ceremony (仪式) was at the London Olympics in 1908. The Olympic torch was lit for the first time at the opening ceremony of the 1936 Games in Germany. The ancient Greeks had a ritual fire for their games, but the idea of lighting a torch in Olympia and relaying it to the site of the games actually belongs to Carl Diem, who was the chief organizer of the Berlin Games. The games were cancelled three times due to global conflicts. They were not held in 1916 during World War I and in 1940 and 1944 during World War II. The games have continued uninterrupted since 1948. A minor change did take place in 1994 when the timing of the Summer and Winter Olympic Games was changed so that they would not be held in the same year. 8. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To lead in the topic. B. To make a comparison. C. To provide an example. D. To present an argument. 9. Where can you find the data that best support “the Olympic Games have grown in size”? A. In paragraph 2. B. In paragraph 4. C. In paragraph 5. D. In paragraph 6. 10. What mainly caused the interruption of the modern Olympic Games? A The two world wars. B. Carl Diem’s disapproval. C. The loss of the Olympic torch. D. The ban from Theodosius. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The rules of the Olympic Games. B. The importance of doing sports. C. The political events of Greece. D. The brief history of the Olympics. D It’s less furry than a traditional companion, but a six-legged Chinese robot “guide dog” could one day help vision-impaired (视觉受损的) people live with more independence, according to its research development team in Shanghai. The robot dog, which is currently being field-tested, is able to navigate (导航) its physical environment via cameras and sensors, including recognizing traffic light signals, which traditional guide dogs are unable to do. Roughly the size of an English Bulldog but a bit wider, it can communicate by listening and speaking with a visually impaired operator with AI-technology integrated in its voice recognition, route planning capabilities and traffic light recognition. It also has six legs, which the researchers say help it walk smoothly and with maximum stability. Married couple Li Fei, 41, and Zhu Sibin, 42, are among the visually impaired people helping the Jiao Tong University team test the robot using Chinese-language commands. “If this robot guide dog comes onto the market and I could use it, at least it could solve some of my problems in traveling alone,” Li said. Robot guide dogs are under development in other countries, including Australia and Britain, but China has a critical shortage of traditional guide dogs. “In China, there are just over 400 guide dogs for almost 20 million blind people,” said Professor Gao Feng, the head of the research team at Jiao Tong University’s School of Mechanical Engineering in Shanghai. There might be tens of millions of people in the world who need guide dogs. Unlike those dogs, which will always be limited in supply due to the natural limitations of breeding and the intense training required, Gao said the production of robot guide dogs could be scaled, especially in a major manufacturing center like China. “It’s a bit like cars. I can mass-produce them in the same way as cars, so it will become more affordable,” Gao said. 12 Why does the author mention “traffic light signals” in paragraph 2? A. To predict traffic rules in the future. B. To demonstrate the function of the robot dog. C. To stress the importance of obeying traffic rules. D. To show the advantage of traditional guide dogs. 13. What do we know about the Chinese robot guide dog? A. It has four legs. B. It is hard to keep stable. C. It has passed the field test. D. It is wider than an English Bulldog. 14. What is Li Fei’s attitude to the robot dog? A. Unconcerned. B. Doubtful. C. Favorable. D. Unclear. 15. What do the last two paragraphs try to tell us? A. It is easy to train traditional guide dogs. B. China has enough traditional guide dogs. C. Robot guide dogs will have a big market. D. Professor Gao wants to mass-produce cars. 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。 Are you refused when you ask for help from others?

But hardly before I finished, he shouted, “No!” “But why?” I replied. “If you are worried about money, it will be OK since I have got a scholarship…” But he refused to give in. At the moment, I didn’t know what to say. For more than two years, I had been working very hard to pass all the necessary examinations. I had not told my father because I wanted to give him a pleasant surprise. I thought he would be very proud of me because it was many of my classmates’ parents’ dream to send their children to study abroad. “Why do I have to get your permission? I am already 18 and I’m not a kid anymore.” I said angrily and rushed to my bedroom, shutting the door violently. Blinded by anger, I found that I could not stay at my hometown any longer. Late that night, I slipped out of the house and decided to take the bus to the railway station to start my own life as far away from my home as possible. The bus stop was just two blocks away from my home. When I got there I found that I forgot to take any money with me and missed the last bus. I did not want to go back home, so I sat down on the bench and closed my eyes to have a break. Suddenly, I was woken up by my phone. I looked around and found the road was deserted and the street was so quiet that I regretted that I had left home in such a hurry. I picked up the phone and answered the phone even without checking the number. “Have you had a good sleep? It’s going to rain. Shall we go home now?” 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 It was my father’s voice! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I grabbed my bag and hurried to ward him. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 鄂尔多斯市西四旗2024～2025学年第一学期期中联考试卷 高三英语 考生注意： 1. 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分120分，考试时间100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。 4. 本卷命题范围：高考范围。 第一部分 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 Four Best Books for Teens Just as You Are In this book, psychologist Michelle Skeen and her daughter, Kelly Skeen, offer simple tips to help you overcome feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness, stop comparing yourself to others, and be more open and accepting of all aspects of who you are.

In 2004, the Olympic Games returned to Greece with nearly 11,000 athletes representing 201 countries.(第一届现代奥运会于1896年在希腊雅典举行，有来自12个国家的280名运动员参加了43个项目的比赛。2004年，奥运会重返希腊，有来自201个国家的近1.1万名运动员参加)”可知，第四段提到1896年首届现代奥运会的280名运动员，及2004年回到希腊的运动会有近11,000名运动员参赛，体现了奥运会规模的增长，故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“They were not held in 1916 during World War I and in 1940 and 1944 during World War II.(第一次世界大战期间的1916年和第二次世界大战期间的1940年和1944年都没有举行)”可知，现代奥运会取消的原因是第一次世界大战和第二次世界大战。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Yet how many people know how these games came about and why they were created? Who came up with the idea of an Olympic torch (火炬)? Looking back in time can answer those questions.(然而，有多少人知道这些比赛是如何产生的，为什么要创造它们？谁想出了奥运火炬的主意？回顾过去可以回答这些问题)”以及下文介绍了不同时间段的事件可知，短文主要介绍了奥运会的简史。故选D项。 D It’s less furry than a traditional companion, but a six-legged Chinese robot “guide dog” could one day help vision-impaired (视觉受损的) people live with more independence, according to its research development team in Shanghai. The robot dog, which is currently being field-tested, is able to navigate (导航) its physical environment via cameras and sensors, including recognizing traffic light signals, which traditional guide dogs are unable to do. Roughly the size of an English Bulldog but a bit wider, it can communicate by listening and speaking with a visually impaired operator with AI-technology integrated in its voice recognition, route planning capabilities and traffic light recognition. It also has six legs, which the researchers say help it walk smoothly and with maximum stability. Married couple Li Fei, 41, and Zhu Sibin, 42, are among the visually impaired people helping the Jiao Tong University team test the robot using Chinese-language commands. “If this robot guide dog comes onto the market and I could use it, at least it could solve some of my problems in traveling alone,” Li said. Robot guide dogs are under development in other countries, including Australia and Britain, but China has a critical shortage of traditional guide dogs. “In China, there are just over 400 guide dogs for almost 20 million blind people,” said Professor Gao Feng, the head of the research team at Jiao Tong University’s School of Mechanical Engineering in Shanghai. There might be tens of millions of people in the world who need guide dogs. Unlike those dogs, which will always be limited in supply due to the natural limitations of breeding and the intense training required, Gao said the production of robot guide dogs could be scaled, especially in a major manufacturing center like China. “It’s a bit like cars. I can mass-produce them in the same way as cars, so it will become more affordable,” Gao said. 12. Why does the author mention “traffic light signals” in paragraph 2? A. To predict traffic rules in the future. B. To demonstrate the function of the robot dog. C. To stress the importance of obeying traffic rules. D. To show the advantage of traditional guide dogs. 13. What do we know about the Chinese robot guide dog? A. It has four legs. B. It is hard to keep stable. C. It has passed the field test. D. It is wider than an English Bulldog. 14. What is Li Fei’s attitude to the robot dog? A. Unconcerned. B. Doubtful. C. Favorable. D. Unclear. 15. What do the last two paragraphs try to tell us? A. It is easy to train traditional guide dogs. B. China has enough traditional guide dogs. C. Robot guide dogs will have a big market. D. Professor Gao wants to mass-produce cars. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了中国科学家发明的机器人导盲犬。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The robot dog, which is currently being field-tested, is able to navigate (导航) its physical environment via cameras and sensors, including recognizing traffic light signals, which traditional guide dogs are unable to do.(这只机器狗目前正在接受实地测试，它能够通过摄像头和传感器在物理环境中导航，包括识别交通灯信号，这是传统导盲犬无法做到的)”可知，作者提到“交通信号灯”是为了说明机器人导盲犬不同于传统导盲犬的功能。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Roughly the size of an English Bulldog but a bit wider, it can communicate by listening and speaking with a visually impaired operator with AI-technology integrated in its voice recognition, route planning capabilities and traffic light recognition.(它的大小和英国斗牛犬差不多，但比斗牛犬宽一点，它可以通过语音识别、路线规划和红绿灯识别等人工智能技术，与视力受损的操作员进行交流)”可知，中国机器人导盲犬比英国斗牛犬的体型宽一些。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段Li Fei提到的“If this robot guide dog comes onto the market and I could use it, at least it could solve some of my problems in traveling alone(如果这只机器导盲犬上市，我可以使用它，至少它可以解决我独自旅行的一些问题)”可推断，李飞对机器人导盲犬的态度是“支持的”。故选C。 15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“In China, there are just over 400 guide dogs for almost 20 million blind people(在中国，只有400多只导盲犬为近2000万盲人服务)”和最后一段“There might be tens of millions of people in the world who need guide dogs. Unlike those dogs, which will always be limited in supply due to the natural limitations of breeding and the intense training required, Gao said the production of robot guide dogs could be scaled, especially in a major manufacturing center like China.(世界上可能有数以千万计的人需要导盲犬。由于繁殖的自然限制和需要的高强度训练，这些狗的供应总是有限的，高说，机器人导盲犬的生产是可以规模化的，特别是在中国这样的主要制造业中心)”可知，最后两段主要提到传统导盲犬存在不足，而机器人导盲犬可以在制造上规模化，从而解决导盲犬短缺的问题，因此机器人导盲犬具有很大的市场前景。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。 Are you refused when you ask for help from others? The following simple tips will increase people’s acceptance of your request for help. Demonstrate that you’ve tried to help yourself. People are more willing to help those who have attempted to help themselves first. When asking for help, briefly explain what you’ve tried independently. ____16____. Imagine you’re giving a key point list — and be specific. ____17____. People want to help those who they’re sure will act on the help or ad vice offered. Therefore, when you get help from someone who you expect you’ll ask for help again, make sure they’ re aware that you’ve acted on their prior advice — and appreciated it. Consider the timing of your request. Here’s a personal example. My family love to ask me for tech support. So I started a policy that tech support requests could only be made from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm each day. ____18____. This system works great for everyone. Don’t make someone guess what you want. When asking for help, make sure the person knows what you want. The more you practice asking for help in these situations, the easier it will get. Sometimes people are shy about offering help, or are just stuck in their own head and don’t think of offering. ____19____ By asking someone for help, you’re actually giving that person the opportunity to boost their mood. Make your requests using multiple channels. In customer-service situations, there are multiple options to ask for help. It might be best to use the phone, live chat, secure messaging, a face-to-face appointment or Twitter, depending on the situation. It especially helps not to be scared of using the phone if it is the best option for a particular concern. ____20____. A. Get to the point fast B. Make a smaller request C. That way, my workday isn’t disturbed D. If you don’t succeed at first, hang up and try again E. You have to try several of them to get what you need F. Show that you’ve acted on the person’s advice previously G. Providing help to strangers typically boosts the mood of the helper 【答案】16. A 17. F 18. C 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了几个简单的建议让别人更能接受你的求助而不是拒绝你。 【16题详解】 根据前文“When asking for help, briefly explain what you’ve tried independently.”（当请求帮助时，简要说明你独立尝试过的内容。）可知，请求帮助时要简单具体，后文提到“Imagine you’re giving a key point list—and be specific.”（想象一下，你正在给出一个关键点列表，并且要具体。）由此判断，寻求帮助时快速切入主题，简要说明。A选项“Get to the point fast”（快速切入主题）起到承上启下的作用，符合语境。故选A。 【17题详解】  根据后文“Therefore, when you get help from someone who you expect you’ll ask for help again, make sure they’re aware that you’ve acted on their prior advice—and appreciated it.”（因此，当你从某人那里得到帮助，并期望再次请求帮助时，确保他们知道你已经采纳了他们之前的建议，并对此表示感谢。）可知，在寻求帮助前应该向别人表现出你之前采纳了对方的建议。F选项“Show that you’ve acted on the person’s advice previously”（展示你之前采纳了对方的建议）符合语境，起到概括该段内容的作用。故选F。 18题详解】 根据上文“Here’s a personal example. My family love to ask me for tech support. So I started a policy that tech support requests could only be made from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm each day.”（这是一个个人例子。我的家人喜欢向我寻求技术支持。所以我制定了一项政策，每天只能在晚上7点到8点之间提出技术支持请求。）可知，就算要帮助别人，也要有原则有规范的帮助别人，否则自己的时间就会被占用，后文提到“This system works great for everyone.”（这对于大家都好。）空处应表达制订规则对于双方都好的含义。C选项“That way, my workday isn’t disturbed.”（这样，我的工作日就不会被打扰）起到承上启下的作用，符合语境。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Sometimes people are shy about offering help, or are just stuck in their own head and don’t think of offering.”（有时人们不愿意主动提供帮助，或者只是陷入自己的思维中，没有想到提供帮助。）可知，接下来应是说明请求帮助实际上是给对方提供了提升情绪的机会。后文提到“By asking someone for help, you’re actually giving that person the opportunity to boost their mood.”（通过向别人寻求帮助，你实际上给了那个人一个改善情绪的机会。）说明向别人寻求帮助也是帮助别人提升情绪。G选项“Providing help to strangers typically boosts the mood of the helper”（帮助陌生人通常会提升帮助者的情绪）起到承上启下的作用，符合语境。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据前文“In customer-service situations, there are multiple options to ask for help. It might be best to use the phone, live chat, secure messaging, a face-to-face appointment or Twitter, depending on the situation.”（在客户服务情况下，有多种选择可以请求帮助。根据情况，最好使用电话、在线聊天、安全消息、面对面预约或推特。）可知，有各种各样能够帮助你的方式，因此建议尝试多种方式来获得所需的帮助，直到选择一种最适合自己的。E选项“You have to try several of them to get what you need”（你必须尝试其中的几种方式来获得你需要的帮助）起到总结该段内容的作用，符合语境。故选E。 第二部分 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 Karl Goldstein was a kid, he took piano lessons every Saturday morning with a family friend.

But hardly before I finished, he shouted, “No!” “But why?” I replied. “If you are worried about money, it will be OK since I have got a scholarship…” But he refused to give in. At the moment, I didn’t know what to say. For more than two years, I had been working very hard to pass all the necessary examinations. I had not told my father because I wanted to give him a pleasant surprise. I thought he would be very proud of me because it was many of my classmates’ parents’ dream to send their children to study abroad. “Why do I have to get your permission? I am already 18 and I’m not a kid anymore.” I said angrily and rushed to my bedroom, shutting the door violently. Blinded by anger, I found that I could not stay at my hometown any longer. Late that night, I slipped out of the house and decided to take the bus to the railway station to start my own life as far away from my home as possible. The bus stop was just two blocks away from my home. When I got there, I found that I forgot to take any money with me and missed the last bus. I did not want to go back home, so I sat down on the bench and closed my eyes to have a break. Suddenly, I was woken up by my phone. I looked around and found the road was deserted and the street was so quiet that I regretted that I had left home in such a hurry. I picked up the phone and answered the phone even without checking the number. “Have you had a good sleep? It’s going to rain.

I rubbed my sleepy eyes and looked around. There, about one hundred meters from the stop stood my father in the shadows. Then I realized that my father had been standing there all the time. Perhaps, he knew it would be useless to argue with his stubborn little girl. What he could do was waiting for my anger to die away. At first, I wanted to ignore him, but his voice sounded so assuring in the frightening quietness of night! I grabbed my bag and hurried toward him. On the way home, my father explained apologetically that he was caught off guard by the news and that he was very worried about my safety if I would go so far away alone. “Now I have realized that you have grown up and it is time for you to chase your dream. I will give my permission as long as you promise to live on campus and will not slip away when you are angry in the US,” my father said with resignation. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，一直以来都梦想出国留学的作者得到了去美国留学的机会，于是向父亲征求允许，但不幸遭到了父亲的拒绝，不知所措的作者非常生气，觉得父亲不理解自己的梦想与努力。既愤怒又忧伤的作者决定远离家乡，去创造自己梦想的生活，于是乘车到了机场，但忘记带钱，也不想回家，坐在长凳休息，有点后悔离开家，这时候，接到了父亲的电话。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“是父亲的电话”可知，第一段可描写作者看到了父亲，知道父亲一直跟着她，等待她消除怒气，作者想要忽视掉父亲，但是父亲的声音让作者在寂静的夜晚很安心。 ②由第二段首句内容“我抓起包，匆匆向父亲走去。”可知，第二段可描写作者和父亲交流彼此真实的想法，父亲表示歉意，原来父亲是担心作者去很远的地方读书，最后父亲同意了作者的想法。 2. 续写线索：作者看到父亲——知道父亲一直跟随自己——作者走向父亲——与父亲回家——两人交流——父亲同意 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①环顾四周：look around/look about ②抓住：seize/catch/grab ③等待：wait for/await 情绪类 ①令人害怕的；frightening/scrary/dreadful ②担心的：be worried about/be concerned about ③生气的：angry/annoyed/mad 【点睛】[【高分句型1】There, about one hundred meters from the stop stood my father in the shadows.
