Chinese is a tonal (声调的) language, meaning that changing the tone of just one syllable (音节) can affect a word’s meaning. Chinese writing has ancient roots, which is thought to have developed starting around 2000 B. C. Arabic Over 370 million people speak Arabic. Written Arabic uses a cursive-style font (连笔) that looks more like artworks than writing. Arabic is written from right to left rather than left to right, making it different from many other languages. English Around 379 million people speak English as a native language. It’s an official language in a huge number of other countries. English is the most widely spoken second language, with over a billion people speaking it as a non-native language. That means around twice as many people speak English as a second language than people who speak it as a first language. Italian Nearly 68 million people speak Italian. If you play music or sing, chances are that you already know a lot of Italian because many familiar musical terms are actually Italian. Not only will learning Italian help you pick up vocabulary, but it will also help you understand the meanings of musical terms in greater depth. 1. What is a feature of Arabic? A. It doesn’t have cursive-style fonts. B. It helps artists with their artworks. C. It is written from right to left. D. It is closely related to music. 2.

That means around twice as many people speak English as a second language than people who speak it as a first language.(英语是使用最广泛的第二语言，有超过10亿人将其作为非母语。这意味着将英语作为第二语言的人数大约是将其作为第一语言的人数的两倍。)”可知，作为第二语言使用最广泛的是英语。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据 Italian 中“Nearly 68 million people speak Italian.(将近6800万人说意大利语。)”可知，近6800万人说意大利语。 B Valentina is 9 years old living in Plano, Texas with her parents. She loves Beatrice, an American Girl doll (洋娃娃) very much. But Valentina left her beloved doll behind by chance during a flight earlier this summer. Rudy and Dominguez, Valentina’s parents, tried everything they could to reunite their daughter with her best friend, Beatrice. “Beatrice means a lot to me. She brings me happiness and she’s my best friend,” Valentina said. “When she was missing, I felt like my heart was broken.” When finding Beatrice was lost, the Texas family immediately searched everywhere for the lost doll with brown hair, including their travel bags, without success. They remembered seeing her on the plane so they called the airline (航空公司), and then sent an email to it. The family also spread the message about the lost doll on the Internet — a message that finally reached pilot James, a first officer for American Airlines who lives not far from Plano. James said he got the chance to help young Valentina locate (定位) Beatrice, who was last seen on July 20 on a plane in Tokyo, where the family had a stopover (中途停留) on their flight back home from Bali, Indonesia. James said he got in touch with the Airlines’ Lost and Found at Haneda Airport in Tokyo and was able to locate the missing doll after two tries. He then took photos with Beatrice in various airports and on flights as he carried her back home to Valentina in Plano, over 5,800 miles away. One Monday, James drove to the Texas family to return Beatrice to Valentina in person. They were all moved for what James had done. 4. What can we know about Valentina? A. She was sad at losing Beatrice. B. She has brown hair. C. She loved taking photos with Beatrice. D. She lives in Tokyo. 5. What did the Texas family do first when finding Beatrice lost? A. They sent an email to the airline. B. They got in touch with James. C. They searched their travel bags. D. They spread the message online. 6. How did Valentina get her doll back? A. She found it at home. B. James sent it back in person. C. She got it from the waiting room. D. Her parents discovered it on the plane. 7. How did the Texas family feel about James act? A. Encouraged. B. Confident. C. Calm. D. Thankful. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个9岁的女孩丢失了心爱的玩具，飞行员詹姆斯帮助孩子找到了玩具并送回到孩子身边的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When she was missing, I felt like my heart was broken(当她失踪的时候，我觉得我的心都碎了)”可知，瓦伦蒂娜因为丢失了玩具而感到伤心，故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When finding Beatrice was lost, the Texas family immediately searched everywhere for the lost doll with brown hair, including their travel bags, without success.( 当发现比阿特丽斯丢失时，得克萨斯州的一家人立即四处寻找丢失的棕色头发的玩偶，包括他们的旅行袋，但没有成功。)”可知，当发现玩具丢失时，他们首先在旅行袋里面寻找，故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“One Monday, James drove to the Texas family to return Beatrice to Valentina in person.( 一个星期一，詹姆斯驱车前往德克萨斯州的一家人，亲自将碧翠丝送回瓦伦蒂娜身边)”可知，詹姆斯亲自将玩具碧翠丝送到小女孩身边，故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“They were all moved for what James had done.(他们都为詹姆斯的所作所为而感动)”可推知，德克萨斯州的一家人对詹姆斯的行为非常感激，故选D项。 C Sometimes parents wonder if they should really give their children chores (家务活). After all, isn’t it the parents’ responsibility to manage the household? And don’t children need an opportunity to “just be children” for now because they have the rest of their lives to worry about chores? Most children have really busy schedules. They rush around from one activity to another with little time to clean the house. Despite those concerns, however, giving your children chores may be one of the most important things you’ll ever do. While giving your children chores can certainly take some of the stress off you, that’s not the only reason you should expect your children to do the chores. Studies show chores are good for children. Research from a well-known 75-year Harvard study shows that chores can shape children to be more likely to become happy, healthy and independent adults. Why are chores like sweeping the floor and clearing the table so important to children’s happiness in life? One reason is that children feel a sense of achievement when they do their chores. No matter whether they’re making their beds or they’re sweeping the floor, helping out around the house makes children feel capable. Doing chores also helps children feel like they’re part of the team and learn responsibility. Helping family members is good for them and it encourages them to be good adults. Children who do chores gain important life skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. Life skills such as meal preparation, mowing the lawn, or doing the laundry will be important after high school, which helps your children live independently. 8. Why does the author raise questions in paragraph 1? A To list examples. B. To make a warning. C. To lead in the topic. D. To provide background information. 9. What helps children grow up healthily according to research from the Harvard study? A. Chores. B. Less homework. C. School activities. D. Learning schedules. 10. What does the underlined word “capable” mean in paragraph 4? A. Tired. B. Nervous. C. Having no time. D. Having the ability. 11. What does this text focus on? A. Skills to deal with chores. B. Advantages of doing chores. C. The importance of life skills. D. Way s to balance study and chores. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了做家务带来的一些好处。 8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Sometimes parents wonder if they should really give their children chores (家务活). After all, isn’t it the parents’ responsibility to manage the household? And don’t children need an opportunity to “just be children” for now because they have the rest of their lives to worry about chores?(有时父母会想，他们是否真的应该给孩子做家务。毕竟，管理家庭不是父母的责任吗？孩子们现在不需要一个“做孩子”的机会吗？因为他们的余生都在担心家务？)”可推知，第一段话通过反问的方式来引出话题——孩子需要做家务。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Research from a well-known 75-year Harvard study shows that chores can shape children to be more likely to become happy, healthy and independent adults.(哈佛大学一项著名的75年研究表明，家务活可以使孩子更有可能成为快乐、健康和独立的成年人)”可知，研究表明做家务有助于孩子的成长。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段话中划线单词上下文“One reason is that children feel a sense of achievement when they do their chores.(一个原因是孩子们在做家务时会有一种成就感)”和“Doing chores also helps children feel like they’re part of the team and learn responsibility.(做家务也可以帮助孩子感到他们是团队的一部分，并学会承担责任)”可知，无论孩子们做了什么家务，他们都会又一种成就感，且学会承担责任，即让他们觉得自己变得有能力。划线单词意为“有能力”，所以“have the ability”与capable意思接近。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Children who do chores gain important life skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. Life skills such as meal preparation, mowing the lawn, or doing the laundry will be important after high school, which helps your children live independently.(做家务的孩子获得了重要的生活技能，这将在他们的一生中为他们提供很好的服务。在高中毕业后，做饭、修剪草坪或洗衣服等生活技能将很重要，这有助于你的孩子独立生活)”可知，本文主要讲述了做家务给孩子带来的好处。故选B。 D Spending time outdoors has long been linked (联系) to better health. Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health. Gardening involves physical activity that works all the main muscle (肌肉) groups, which is helpful for overall health. “Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.” Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system (免疫系统). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get at least 150 minutes of exercise each week, and gardening is listed as a suitable activity. Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Additionally, spending time outdoors makes us get close to natural sunlight, which is important for vitamin D synth. Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging. Gardening also offers cognitive (认知的) benefits. It excites the senses, improves focus and encourages problem-solving and creativity. It provides a chance to learn about plants, ecosystems and the environment, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature. 12. What is Clayton’s attitude towards gardening? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear D. Uncaring. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about gardening? A. It improves focus. B. It is a waste of time. C. It can keep a body in shape. D. It helps to reduce the risk of diseases. 14. How does gardening affect social connection according to the text? A. It contributes to creativity. B. It encourages problem-solving. C. It builds relationships between people. D. It improves people’s awareness of safety. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. How to Start a Garden B. Choose a Garden or Not C. What Plants Grow Best in a Garden D. Start Gardening and Get the Health Benefits 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述园艺活动有利于身体健康并分析了原因。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.”(“像挖土，种植和收割这样的活动需要运动并能帮助我们改善体力” Clayton，一家网上草坪护理公司的CEO说，“经常进行这些活动可以帮助燃烧卡路里，保持一个健康的体重”)”可知，Clayton对园艺活动持支持的态度。故选A。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段第一句“Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system(除了燃烧卡路里和锻炼肌肉，很多研究表明园艺看改善免疫系统)”以及第三句“Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease.(每周做150分钟的园艺工作能够减少患肥胖，高血压以及心脏病的风险)”可知，本段主要讲园艺活动有助于降低患病的风险。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging.(园艺也为社会联系提供了机会。它可以是家庭成员，朋友或邻居之间的共同活动，从而建立关系和归属感)”可知，园艺活动对社交的影响是它可以建立人们间的关系。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Spending time outdoors has long been linked (联系) to better health.Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health.(长期以来，人们一直认为户外活动有利于身体健康。园艺不仅仅是美化室外空间——它还对我们的身心健康产生很深的影响)”可知，文章主要讲述进行园艺活动有利于身心健康，所以文章的标题“开始园艺，并获得健康的好处”。故选D。 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。 There are ways to make friends online while also keeping yourself protected.

She was the most hardworking girl at her school. Her marks were higher than the others. She was the best, but nobody wanted to be her friend. Her classmates didn’t want to play with her and some even laughed at her. Cary’s teacher Jared didn’t know that. One day, Jared set an exam and Robert, a boy who was the king of all the students, signed his exam paper using Cary’s name, and changed Cary’s name for Robert’s quickly after Cary handed in her paper. It wasn’t noticed by anybody. When Jared returned all the exam Papers, everybody was shocked. Cary failed the exam, but the others seemed to be happy with that. The next day, when Cary arrived at school, all the children wanted to be with her and invited her to play with them. Although Cary was surprised, she was happy to play with the other children. During their fun time, Jared suddenly appeared to inform Cary that there had been a mistake, and she hadn’t failed. Jared explained to the students what had happened and punished Robert. After that, they all stopped playing with Cary again. Cary couldn’t stop crying this time and ran to ask her teacher why she couldn’t make friends with good school performance. 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。 Jared was sorry to know what had happened to Cary. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After hearing Jared’s story, all the children decided to change themselves. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Jared was sorry to know what had happened to Cary. He asked Cary to sit down in the office, handing her some tissues, and then asked Cary to tell all the unpleasant things that had happened at school. After Cary poured out her unhappiness, Jared comforted, “You should never keep silent when unhappy things happen at school, and since your academic performance is excellent, why not choose to help the students who are not good at study? I believe you can make good friends with them gradually. ” After that, Jared led Cary into the classroom and told his students a story about his own childhood that was similar to Cary’s. After hearing Jared’s story, all the children decided to change themselves. They apologized to Cary and followed Cary’s example. After class, Cary offered to help her classmates with their study. All the children began to work hard and their marks got improved. They loved being with Cary, studying, playing and laughing together. They were proud to have a friend who got such good marks and made such a big effort at school. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Cary是学校里最勤奋的女孩，她的成绩是最好的，但没人愿意和她做朋友。一天，Jared老师准备了一场考试，一个叫做Robert的学生，用Cary的名字在自己试卷上签了名，并且在Cary交卷后把她的名字改成了自己的名字。当试卷发下来后，Cary考试不及格，但其他人似乎对此很高兴，所有的孩子都想和她在一起玩。虽然Cary很惊讶，但她很高兴和其他孩子一起玩。在玩乐的时候，Jared老师突然出现告诉Cary所发生的事情。从那以后，同学不和Cary玩了。Cary很伤心，哭着跑去问她的老师为什么她不能用好的学习成绩交朋友。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Jared对Cary的遭遇感到很遗憾。”和第二段首句“听了Jared的故事后，所有的孩子都决定改变自己。”可知，第一段可描写老师安慰Cary，并告诉她用自己的好成绩去帮助他人，之后带着Cary走进教室给同学们讲了一个自己的童年故事。 ②由第二段首句内容“听了Jared的故事后，所有的孩子都决定改变自己。”可知，第二段可描写同学们意识到自己错了，向Cary道歉，Cary也利用课余时间帮助其他同学，随后他们一起学习一起玩耍。 2.续写线索：遗憾——安慰——走进教室——讲述自己的故事——道歉——互相学习，互相玩耍 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①递给：hand/give ②发生：happen/take place ③帮助某人：help sb./do sb. a favor 情绪类 ①令人不快的：unpleasant /unhappy/disagreeable 【点睛】[高分句型1] He asked Cary to sit down in the office, handing her some tissues, and then asked Cary to tell all the unpleasant things that had happened at school. （由that引导的定语从句） [高分句型2]You should never keep silent when unhappy things happen at school, and since your academic performance is excellent, why not choose to help the students who are not good at study?（由when引导的状语从句和who引导的限制性定语从句） [高分句型3]After that, Jared led Cary into the classroom and told his students a story about his own childhood that was similar to Cary’s.（由that引导的定语从句） 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 高一英语 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：外研版至必修第一册Unit 2。 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 Cool Languages Chinese Around 1.4 billion people speak Chinese. Chinese is a tonal (声调的) language, meaning that changing the tone of just one syllable (音节) can affect a word’s meaning. Chinese writing has ancient roots, which is thought to have developed starting around 2000 B. C. Arabic Over 370 million people speak Arabic. Written Arabic uses a cursive-style font (连笔) that looks more like artworks than writing. Arabic is written from right to left rather than left to right, making it different from many other languages. English Around 379 million people speak English as a native language. It’s an official language in a huge number of other countries. English is the most widely spoken second language, with over a billion people speaking it as a non-native language. That means around twice as many people speak English as a second language than people who speak it as a first language. Italian Nearly 68 million people speak Italian. If you play music or sing, chances are that you already know a lot of Italian because many familiar musical terms are actually Italian. Not only will learning Italian help you pick up vocabulary, but it will also help you understand the meanings of musical terms in greater depth. 1. What is a feature of Arabic? A. It doesn’t have cursive-style fonts. B. It helps artists with their artworks. C. It is written from right to left. D. It is closely related to music. 2. Which language is the most widely used as a second language in the world? A. Arabic. B. English. C. Chinese. D. Italian. 3. What’s the number of people who speak Italian? A. Nearly 68 million. B. Around 370 million. C. Over 379 million. D. Around 1.4 billion. B Valentina is 9 years old living in Plano, Texas with her parents. She loves Beatrice, an American Girl doll (洋娃娃) very much. But Valentina left her beloved doll behind by chance during a flight earlier this summer. Rudy and Dominguez, Valentina’s parents, tried everything they could to reunite their daughter with her best friend, Beatrice. “Beatrice means a lot to me. She brings me happiness and she’s my best friend,” Valentina said. “When she was missing, I felt like my heart was broken.” When finding Beatrice was lost, the Texas family immediately searched everywhere for the lost doll with brown hair, including their travel bags, without success. They remembered seeing her on the plane so they called the airline (航空公司), and then sent an email to it. The family also spread the message about the lost doll on the Internet — a message that finally reached pilot James, a first officer for American Airlines who lives not far from Plano. James said he got the chance to help young Valentina locate (定位) Beatrice, who was last seen on July 20 on a plane in Tokyo, where the family had a stopover (中途停留) on their flight back home from Bali, Indonesia. James said he got in touch with the Airlines’ Lost and Found at Haneda Airport in Tokyo and was able to locate the missing doll after two tries. He then took photos with Beatrice in various airports and on flights as he carried her back home to Valentina in Plano, over 5,800 miles away. One Monday, James drove to the Texas family to return Beatrice to Valentina in person. They were all moved for what James had done. 4. What can we know about Valentina? A. She was sad at losing Beatrice. B. She has brown hair. C. She loved taking photos with Beatrice. D. She lives in Tokyo. 5. What did the Texas family do first when finding Beatrice lost? A. They sent an email to the airline. B. They got in touch with James. C. They searched their travel bags. D. They spread the message online. 6. How did Valentina get her doll back? A. She found it at home. B. James sent it back in person. C. She got it from the waiting room. D. Her parents discovered it on the plane. 7. How did the Texas family feel about James act? A. Encouraged. B. Confident. C. Calm. D. Thankful. C Sometimes parents wonder if they should really give their children chores (家务活). After all, isn’t it the parents’ responsibility to manage the household? And don’t children need an opportunity to “just be children” for now because they have the rest of their lives to worry about chores? Most children have really busy schedules. They rush around from one activity to another with little time to clean the house. Despite those concerns, however, giving your children chores may be one of the most important things you’ll ever do. While giving your children chores can certainly take some of the stress off you, that’s not the only reason you should expect your children to do the chores. Studies show chores are good for children. Research from a well-known 75-year Harvard study shows that chores can shape children to be more likely to become happy, healthy and independent adults. Why are chores like sweeping the floor and clearing the table so important to children’s happiness in life? One reason is that children feel a sense of achievement when they do their chores. No matter whether they’re making their beds or they’re sweeping the floor, helping out around the house makes children feel capable. Doing chores also helps children feel like they’re part of the team and learn responsibility. Helping family members is good for them and it encourages them to be good adults. Children who do chores gain important life skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. Life skills such as meal preparation, mowing the lawn, or doing the laundry will be important after high school, which helps your children live independently. 8. Why does the author raise questions in paragraph 1? A. To list examples. B. To make a warning. C To lead in the topic. D. To provide background information. 9. What helps children grow up healthily according to research from the Harvard study? A. Chores. B. Less homework. C. School activities. D. Learning schedules. 10. What does the underlined word “capable” mean in paragraph 4? A. Tired. B. Nervous. C. Having no time. D. Having the ability. 11. What does this text focus on? A. Skills to deal with chores. B. Advantages of doing chores. C. The importance of life skills. D. Way s to balance study and chores. D Spending time outdoors has long been linked (联系) to better health. Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health. Gardening involves physical activity that works all the main muscle (肌肉) groups, which is helpful for overall health. “Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.” Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system (免疫系统). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get at least 150 minutes of exercise each week, and gardening is listed as a suitable activity. Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Additionally, spending time outdoors makes us get close to natural sunlight, which is important for vitamin D synth. Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging. Gardening also offers cognitive (认知的) benefits. It excites the senses, improves focus and encourages problem-solving and creativity. It provides a chance to learn about plants, ecosystems and the environment, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature. 12. What is Clayton’s attitude towards gardening? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear D. Uncaring. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about gardening? A. It improves focus. B. It is a waste of time. C It can keep a body in shape. D. It helps to reduce the risk of diseases. 14. How does gardening affect social connection according to the text? A. It contributes to creativity. B. It encourages problem-solving. C. It builds relationships between people. D. It improves people’s awareness of safety. 15 What is the best title for the text? A. How to Start a Garden B. Choose a Garden or Not C. What Plants Grow Best in a Garden D. Start Gardening and Get the Health Benefits 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。 There are ways to make friends online while also keeping yourself protected.
