It seemed that thousands of butterflies were really flying in my stomach. My mother gave me a pat on the back and said softly, “Just enjoy it, honey!” I found encouragement and confidence in her eyes. I got up, climbed up the stage steps and bowed to the audience. I tried my best to keep calm. I slowly placed my hands on the keyboard, took a deep breath and started to play. To my delight, everything seemed unbelievably smooth. Suddenly my fingers slipped and I hit a wrong note. I could clearly feel the disappointment from the crowd’s deep sigh. “Just enjoy it!” Mum’s words echoed in my ears. I continued playing as if nothing had happened. Soon I found myself absorbed in the familiar music world again. Eventually, when I finished my last note, the crowd all stood up with applause and cheering, which was totally out of my expectation. Though I didn’t win the champion, I knew I had learned something more valuable. I realized that learning to enjoy music was more important than the competition itself. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$2024-2025学年度第一学期期中考试 高二英语试题 (考试时间：120分钟总分：150分) 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中 选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读 下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.What is the man's main form of exercise now?

He wasn't wrong. I'm a hacker,and I run a team of hackers.We spend our days discovering ways to break into anything that can connect to the Internet,to access information never meant to be seen.If we get to it before a criminal does,then we've done our job I'm proud of what I do for a living,just like doctors or lawyers are proud of the work they do.In Hollywood,.hackers are often described as hooded(戴着兜帽 )figures in dark rooms involved in illegal activity while tapping keyboards.Actually, hackers are expert at programming and problem-solving with computers.Companies hire hackers to find their breaking point before criminals do. Hacking is an activity,and what separates any activity from a crime is permission. Drivers are free to drive,but they do not have permission to drive 150 miles per hour- that's illegal.Bankers can transfer their clients'money,but if they do so without permission,that's illegal. Hacking isn't an inherently(E)criminal activity.Someone who involves in the illegal use of hacking should not be called a "bad hacker"but a"threat actor". Hackers are people like me and my team at IBM-security professionals. Hackers play a critical role in keeping companies and people safe.At IBM,one thing my team does is hack autonomous vehicles,planes and trains to make sure that every possible security weakness is found and corrected before each machine is shipped.Imagine what bad things could happen without us. 21.Why did the author mention his son's words in paragraph 1? A.To show off his son's intelligence. B.To raise readers'interest in his job. C.To describe the daily life in kindergarten. D.To raise a problem of parent-child relation 22.What is the common misunderstanding of hackers? A.Hackers can both be males and females. B.Hackers can ensure a company's security. C.Hackers are usually considered as criminals. D.Hackers are extremely proud of what they do. 23.What do we know about hacking? 第3页共10负 A.Hacking is an inherently criminal activity. B.Permission plays an important role in hacking. C.Professional skills are not necessary for hacking. D.Hacking involves breaking into shops and houses. 24.What's the purpose of the passage? A.To introduce the job of hackers. B.To attract more hackers to IBM. C.To stress the importance of hackers. D.To compare hacking with other jobs. 8 To understand the effect of ice melting around the world we first have to understand what an ice sheet actually is.Covering 5.4 million square miles in Antarctica and 656,000 square miles in Greenland,an ice sheet is actually a huge land of ice from the Ice Age.These sheets form in areas where snow that falls in winter does not melt entirely over the summer.This ice,home to different species of animals,is now melting at a rate that cannot support the life it currently holds. Many of these creatures rely on ice sheets as land for resting,hunting and protection,yet as the size decreases,they are forced out of their homeland in search of other land on which to live.Often this means joureys to search for food and an imbalanced ecosystem happens when different species are forced together onto the coast. Since the 1990s,the deer population has dropped by 56 percent-climate change has caused warmer temperatures over winter setting off rainfall instead of snow,which freezes more quickly underfoot and makes it harder to walk and search for food.In the summer,frozen layers of land melts and releases trapped diseases which bring death to animals.A similar situation has fallen on the polar bears who suffered a 40 percent population loss between 2001 and 2010. Quite apart from these problems,the threat of sea levels rising if the ice caps were to disappear is approaching.If the Greenland Ice Sheet melted,the sea level would rise around six meters,and if the Antarctic Ice Sheet melted,sea levels would rise by around 20 feet.As a matter of fact,sea levels have risen about eight inches since 1880,three of which we've gained over the last 25 years.This seemingly small amount has already caused dangerous flooding,loss of farmland and more deadly storms. While we're still a long way from losing the ice sheets all together,we've already lost too much and if we don't take climate change seriously now,we will certainly hit the point of no return. 第4页共10页 25.What is an ice sheet according to the passage? A.It is an ice world for animals to live on. B.It is a land of ice that covers all Greenland. C.It is an area where ice never melts in summer. D.It is a large area of ice that exists for centuries. 26.The melting of ice sheets brings about the following effects EXCEPT A.a longer distance to search for food B.a decrease in animal population C.a larger amount of snowfall D.the release of more diseases 27.What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A.Sea levels are rising faster in recent years. B.The ice cap will first disappear in Greenland. C.All natural disasters happen due to sea level rise. D.The Greenland Ice sheet will be the first to disappear. 28.What could be the best title for this passage? A.Changes of Sea Levels B.Effect of Melting Ice Sheets C.Greenland and Antarctica D.Ice,Sea and Animals C Plenty of scientific work proves that children,and even adults,who learn sign language,gain the benefits not only in the ability to communicate with other sign language users,but also in the wider academic world. Deaf children who learn sign language at an early age tend to perform better academically.This is partly due to their increased ability to communicate with those around them.However,it is also because sign language is not,as many people mistakenly think,a system of gestures representing words,but a complete and complex language system.Thus,children who learn sign language have already learnt about the way language works,which will help in future studies. Again,for non-deaf children and adults who learn sign language,the academic advantages spill over into social and cultural ones.Firstly,learning sign language allows the speaker to communicate with a whole new community of people and gain an understanding of how they communicate within their community.Secondly, learning a language gives rise to greater confidence for that person,as he is able to communicate with someone who may struggle to do so.And the skills of language learning can easily be applied to learning other languages but also to other academic pursuits. There can be no doubt that learning sign language is a useful endeayour for anyone-whether they are deaf themselves and live in a house with other deaf 第5其共0其 people or whether they are non-deaf and do not know anyone who is.The social, cultural and academic advantages of learning this complex language are diverse and should not be taken lightly.And,especially with children,learning a language which helps people with a disadvantage may encourage them in the future to do more- volunteering and other such work.This means that the non-deaf child can be given a sense of social responsibility at an early age and taught to embrace (all people -not in spite of their differences but because of them. 29.What is sign language according to the author? A.It is a creative way of expressing ideas. B.It is a complete complex language system. C.It is a primary language of disabled people. D.It is a system of gestures representing words. 30.What does the underlined word"endeavour"in paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Experiment. B.Effort C.Incident. D.Feedback. 31.What quality can a non-deaf child who learns sign language acquire? A.Being competitive. B.Being courageous. C.Being responsible. D.Being positive. 32.What conclusion can we draw from the text? A.Learning sign language brings people an advantage of finding a future job. B.The numerous advantages of learning sign language should be taken seriously. C.Non-deaf children should learn sign language due to the differences of the deaf people. D.It's unnecessary for non-deaf person who doesn't know any deaf people to learn sign language. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两 项为多余选项。 Classical music is one of the most complex,and beautiful forms of music.It can be enjoyed by people of all ages,and can be appreciated in many different ways. 33 These elements.include melody(旋律)，harmony,rhythm, dynamics(力度)，and timbre(音质).Melody is the primary musical element,and is what people typically think of when they think of music.34 Rhythm is the organization of time,and is created by the pulse or beat of the music.Dynamics are the changes in volume,and timbre is the quality of the sound. Once you have a basic understanding of these elements,you can start to appreciate classical music on a deeper level.35 Pay attention to the four elements mentioned above.Understand the story it is telling.Try to find out how the different sounds work together.Feel the beat,and sense the changes in volume.Try to 第6贝共10贞 appreciate the different sounds. _36 Seeing the musicians play,and watching the conductor guide the orchestra,can be an amazing experience.You can watch videos of classical music performances online,or attend a live concert. Finally,classical music can be appreciated through its history and culture. Leamning about the musicians,the pieces,and the different movements in classical music can help you understand and appreciate it more. 37 A.The secret to classical music is:it's just music.
