Whether you are traveling with friends or with family, here are places that are perfect for your next group adventure. Great Barrington, The Berkshires, USA The Berkshires in Massachusetts is a popular escape for many East Coast city residents due to its charming towns. For literature fans, the Berkshires were once home to many writers, including Edith Wharton. Take a day trip to visit her home, The Mount, for history, culture and stunning architecture. Miami, Florida, USA Fun and fancy, Miami is a recognized group trip destination. Everything about Miami screams, “Grab your friends and have some fun.” Head to South Beach if you look for the classic Miami experience, but you don’t necessarily have to focus on beaches and nightlife. Leave the golden sand behind for a day, explore Little Havana, eat traditional Cuban food at Versailles, and spend an afternoon in the Art District of the neighborhood, which features a handful of galleries. Prague, Czech Republic Does your group prefer a little more history alongside your adventure? Prague is the answer. Relatively affordable compared to many of its European neighbors, Prague is an excellent choice for larger groups looking to keep expenses on the lower end and families with tight budget. Watch the Astronomical Clock hit the hour and enjoy its short but beautiful show before wandering the narrow streets. Cross the iconic Charles Bridge and see the city stretch out before you. There is simply so much to uncover in this complex city. To get further information, click here. 1. Which kind of people would like to choose Berkshires as their destination? A. Fans who prefer beach. B. People who are attracted to reading. C. Writers who live in The Mount. D. Residents who escape from East Coast City. 2. What is the advantage of Prague compared to other European countries? A. Its long history. B. Its beautiful show. C. Its cheap price. D. Its iconic bridge. 3. Where is the text probably from? A.

(对于文学爱好者来说，伯克郡曾经是许多作家的故乡，包括伊迪丝·沃顿)”可知，伯克郡曾是许多作家的故乡，因此会吸引喜欢阅读的人。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Prague部分中的“Relatively affordable compared to many of its European neighbors, Prague is an excellent choice for larger groups looking to keep expenses on the lower end and families with tight budget. (与许多欧洲邻国相比，布拉格的价格相对较低，对于希望将费用控制在较低水平的大型团体和预算紧张的家庭来说，布拉格是一个绝佳的选择)”可知，与其他欧洲国家相比，布拉格的优势是价格便宜。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“To get further information, click here. (要获取更多信息，请点击这里)”可知，文末提供了获取更多信息的链接。因此，文章很可能出现在网页上。故选C项。 B “Gluten free (无麸质), lactose free, vegan...” These ideas on diet might sound unfamiliar to many in China. That’s why Wang Jiaqi, a 16-year-old girl from Beijing, opened a special ice cream store called EIS Engelchen in Beijing’s Sanlitun, to spread a healthier way to enjoy ice cream. “My friends and I love ice cream, but we’ve never encountered an ice cream that really ‘wows’ us,” Wang said. Then one day she heard her mom say that she had the best ice cream of her life at a café in a little town in Germany. “I immediately wanted to go there and try it for myself,” she added. Lucky for her, during her summer holiday, Wang was able to go to the town and work as a waitress in the café selling ice cream. “I not only got to taste it myself, but also learned about the healthy idea. In China, where many people are lactose intolerant (乳糖不耐受) or vegan, finding suitable ice cream is challenging due to the common use of milk and eggs.” So, Wang decided to bring this ice cream back to China to be enjoyed by even more people. At the time, the brand was only sold to cafés and hotels in Germany. But after discussions with the brand’s management, Wang not only gained the right to sell the ice cream but also opened the first physical EIS Engelchen store–all the way away in China. Wang believes that starting a business begins with something small and is a step-by-step process. “When I was in primary school, I sold products like cookies made by myself among students,” Wang said. “I think business is about noticing problems around you and working out ways to solve them.” 4. Where did Wang Jiaqi hear of the German ice cream for the first time? A. From her mother. B. In the café. C. From her friend. D. From the internet. 5. Why did Wang Jiaqi open the ice cream store in Beijing? A. She wanted to provide a place for friends to hang out. B. She was trying to promote traditional Chinese ice cream flavors. C. She wanted to solve the problem of lactose intolerance in China. D. She wanted to promote a healthier way to enjoy ice cream in China. 6. Which of the following word can best describe Wang Jiaqi? A. Business-minded. B. Kind-hearted. C. Hard-working. D. Strong-willed. 7. What’s the main idea of the text? A. A teenager called on people to eat healthy food. B. A Chinese girl started her own ice cream business. C. Bringing German food to China faced great challenges. D. Traditional ice cream was increasingly popular among students. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了16岁的北京女孩王佳琪因对健康饮食的兴趣，将德国的一款特别冰淇淋引进中国，开设了EIS Engelchen冰淇淋店，旨在提供更健康的冰淇淋选择。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Then one day she heard her mom say that she had the best ice cream of her life at a café in a little town in Germany. (后来有一天，她听到妈妈说，她在德国一个小镇的咖啡馆里吃到了她一生中最好吃的冰淇淋。)”可知，她是从她妈妈那里第一次听说德国冰淇淋的。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中““I not only got to taste it myself, but also learned about the healthy idea. In China, where many people are lactose intolerant (乳糖不耐受) or vegan, finding suitable ice cream is challenging due to the common use of milk and eggs.” So, Wang decided to bring this ice cream back to China to be enjoyed by even more people. (“我不仅自己品尝了它，还学到了健康的理念。在中国，很多人都是乳糖不耐症或素食主义者，由于牛奶和鸡蛋的普遍使用，找到合适的冰淇淋是一项挑战。”因此，王决定把这种冰淇淋带回中国，让更多的人享用。)”可知，她想在中国推广一种更健康的享用冰淇淋的方式，因此在北京开冰淇淋店。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Wang believes that starting a business begins with something small and is a step-by-step process. “When I was in primary school, I sold products like cookies made by myself among students,” Wang said. “I think business is about noticing problems around you and working out ways to solve them.” (王认为，创业从小事做起，是一个循序渐进过程。王说：“当我在小学的时候，我向学生们出售自己做的饼干等产品。”“我认为，做生意就是要注意你周围的问题，并找出解决问题的方法。”)”可知，她从小就有商业头脑。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段““Gluten free (无麸质), lactose free, vegan...” These ideas on diet might sound unfamiliar to many in China. That’s why Wang Jiaqi, a 16-year-old girl from Beijing, opened a special ice cream store called EIS Engelchen in Beijing’s Sanlitun, to spread a healthier way to enjoy ice cream. (“无麸质，无乳糖，素食……”对于许多中国人来说，这些关于饮食的想法可能听起来很陌生。这就是为什么来自北京的16岁女孩王佳琪在北京三里屯开了一家名为EIS Engelchen的特殊冰淇淋店，传播一种更健康的吃冰淇淋方式。)”可知，本文主要讲述了一个中国女孩开始了自己的冰淇淋生意。故选B。 C The U.S. Open is in full swing — Carlos Alcaraz, Naomi Osaka, and Novak Djokovic are among the tennis stars on the stadiums. Tennis has steadily grown in popularity in the last few years. Playing tennis may help you live longer compared to other sports. The Copenhagen City Heart Study, which followed over 8,500 people for 25 years, found tennis players have a better chance of living longer than those who engaged in badminton, soccer, cycling, swimming and jogging. The study projects that people who love playing tennis will live an average of 9.7 years longer than they would have otherwise. Similarly, in a 2020 study published in the International Journal of Exercise Science, tennis players who play at least twice a week were less likely to get fat, felt more energetic and had better overall health. The benefits are largely due to its influence on heart health. Playing tennis three hours a week can cut down your risk of heart disease by over 50%, according to the United States Tennis Association (USTA). Additionally, a British study found racket sports, as compared to football, cycling, and running, were uniquely associated with a lower risk for death rate. While playing tennis, you have to hold your racket(球拍) firmly, always pay attention to the opponent’s ball and then swing your racket with all your strength, which greatly keeps your brain active and improves your balance. Especially when you age, such exercise will stop muscle loss and support bone health, lowering the risk of injuries and falls. Beyond physical fitness, tennis offers significant social benefits. Compared to going to the gym by yourself, running outside, or swimming (which are still all good forms of exercise!), tennis requires you to communicate with others. For older adults who are easier to suffer loneliness, tennis can bring different groups of people together through exercising in community. Maintaining strong social networks also helps prevent mental health conditions like anxiety and depression, helping people feel happier into older age. If this is music to your ears, you’re in luck, because tennis is popular among all ages and skill levels. So, it may just be the time to dust off your racket. 8. Why are the famous tennis players mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To introduce the topic. B. To set a good example for us. C. To show the talent of tennis players. D. To stress the importance of playing tennis. 9. What did Copenhagen City Heart Study find? A. Tennis players who play at least twice a week are less likely to get fat. B. People who play tennis may live longer than those who take part in other sports. C. More people like to engage in badminton, soccer, cycling, swimming and jogging. D. People who love playing tennis will live an average of 9.7 years shorter than others. 10. Which of the following is NOT a benefit of playing tennis? A. Sharpen your brain. B. Make more friends. C. Reduce the risk of heart disease. D. Increase muscle loss. 11. What does the underline part “music to your ears” mean in the last paragraph? A. A song that you like. B. A sound that is similar to music. C. A noise that you find annoying. D. Something you are pleased to hear about. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了打网球相较于其他运动更有益于延长寿命，其好处主要体现在对心脏健康的积极影响、提升脑力与平衡力、防止肌肉流失与支撑骨骼健康以及提供重要的社交益处等方面，且网球适合各年龄层和技能水平的人群。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“The U.S. Open is in full swing — Carlos Alcaraz, Naomi Osaka, and Novak Djokovic are among the tennis stars on the stadiums. Tennis has steadily grown in popularity in the last few years. Playing tennis may help you live longer compared to other sports.( 美国网球公开赛正如火如荼地进行着，卡洛斯·阿尔卡拉兹、大阪直美和诺瓦克·德约科维奇都是赛场上的网球明星。近几年来，网球的受欢迎程度稳步上升。与其他运动相比，打网球能让你活得更久)”可知，第一段中提到著名的网球运动员是为了引出文章的主题，即网球运动的好处，尤其是可能帮助人们活得更长。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The Copenhagen City Heart Study, which followed over 8,500 people for 25 years, found tennis players have a better chance of living longer than those who engaged in badminton, soccer, cycling, swimming and jogging. (哥本哈根城市心脏研究对8500多人进行了25年的跟踪调查，发现网球运动员比羽毛球、足球、骑自行车、游泳和慢跑的人更有可能长寿)”可知，哥本哈根市心脏研究（Copenhagen City Heart Study）发现，与从事羽毛球、足球、骑自行车、游泳和慢跑的人相比，网球运动员更有可能长寿，即打网球的人可能比从事其他运动的人活得更长。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The benefits are largely due to its influence on heart health. (这些好处主要是由于它对心脏健康的影响。)”以及第四段中“While playing tennis, you have to hold your racket(球拍) firmly, always pay attention to the opponent’s ball and then swing your racket with all your strength, which greatly keeps your brain active and improves your balance. (在打网球时，你必须牢牢地握着球拍，时刻注意对手的球，然后用尽全力挥动你的球拍，这大大保持了你的大脑活跃，提高了你的平衡能力)”以及第五段中“Beyond physical fitness, tennis offers significant social benefits. (除了身体健康，网球还提供了显著的社交效益)”可知，打网球可以锻炼脑力、交友以及降低患心脏病的风险，这些都是打网球的好处。而D选项“Increase muscle loss.(增加肌肉流失)”并不是打网球的好处，第四段中“Especially when you age, such exercise will stop muscle loss and support bone health, lowering the risk of injuries and falls.( 尤其是当你上了年纪，这样的运动可以阻止肌肉流失，支持骨骼健康，降低受伤和跌倒的风险)”强调打网球是阻止肌肉流失，因此D选项是不正确的。故选D。 【11题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“The benefits are largely due to its influence on heart health. (这些好处主要是由于它对心脏健康的影响)”以及第四段中“While playing tennis, you have to hold your racket(球拍) firmly, always pay attention to the opponent’s ball and then swing your racket with all your strength, which greatly keeps your brain active and improves your balance. (在打网球时，你必须牢牢地握着球拍，时刻注意对手的球，然后用尽全力挥动你的球拍，这大大保持了你的大脑活跃，提高了你的平衡能力)”以及第五段中“Beyond physical fitness, tennis offers significant social benefits. (除了身体健康，网球还提供了显著的社交效益)”可知，前面提到的网球运动的好处。故划线词“music to your ears”指的是“令你高兴的事；好消息”与D选项“Something you are pleased to hear about.(你很高兴听到的事)”表达意思相近。故选D。 D Batteries (电池) are getting smaller, lighter and more powerful all the time. This is good news for producers and buyers of products from electric cars, mobile phones to fitness trackers. But being unable to bend as skin or tissue does make batteries uncomfortable to wear. A number of ways are therefore being taken to produce flexible batteries, including the use of fibers and nanoparticles. Among the most promising, though, are water-based batteries inspired by the way an electric eel (鳗鱼) stores its electricity. A group at the University of Cambridge has used the eel’s technique to come up with “jelly batteries”. These are made from hydrogels (水凝胶) that is made up of a layered structure of organic polymers that contain over 60% water. This makes them both soft and flexible. “Although most batteries experience a loss of conductivity (导电性) if it is bent or stretched, a jelly battery can be stretched up to one-and-a-half times its length with no conductivity loss,” says Stephen O’Neill, a member of the research team. This means it can be worn more comfortably against the skin and prove stronger when implanted into internal organs, like the lung, heart or brain. “Another feature of the jelly battery is that the strong molecular bonds allow the material to repair itself very quickly if it is broken,” says Jade McCune, another member of the Cambridge team. This provides a self-repairing ability, which could be useful for applications in extreme operating environments, such as powering sensors put into protective clothing. Another group has also found encouraging results with a self-repairing battery. This team, based at Guilin University of Technology and a number of other research centers in China, recently reported in Nano Research Energy that their battery could sustain a high level of bending and twisting, and even if broken ten times was still capable of self-repairing. Both groups think this kind of battery could enter the market without great difficulty, and that the cost of making them would be reasonable when compared with present battery technologies. The next step for the Cambridge team is to test whether their jelly batteries will reject others when implanted in tissue. As they are mainly water-based, the team does not expect any rejection problems. 12. Why are jelly batteries invented? A. Producers feel like making money. B. Traditional batteries are unable to bend. C. Buyers want lighter and smaller batteries. D. They are needed for mobile phones and fitness trackers. 13. What makes the batteries both soft and flexible? A. Hydrogels. B. Fibers and nanoparticles. C. Conductivity. D. Strong molecular bonds. 14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Jelly batteries can’t repair itself. B. Jelly batteries are inspired by a kind of plant. C. Jelly batteries experience a loss of conductivity if they are bent or stretched. D. Another group who has made a self-repairing jelly battery comes from China. 15. What attitude does the writer have to the future of jelly batteries? A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Worried. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过介绍传统电池在某些应用场景中无法发挥作用引入话题，介绍了果冻电池的优势、工作原理、特点和未来的可能性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But being unable to bend as skin or tissue does make batteries uncomfortable to wear.number of ways are therefore being taken to produce flexible batteries(但是不能像皮肤或组织那样弯曲确实会使电池佩戴不舒服。因此，正在采取多种方法来生产柔性电池)”可知，传统电池不能弯曲，所以发明了果冻电池。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“These are made from hydrogels (水凝胶) that is made up of a layered structure of organic polymers that contain over 60% water. This makes them both soft and flexible.(这些由水凝胶制成，水凝胶由含水量超过60%的有机聚合物分层结构组成。这使它们既柔软又灵活)”可知，果冻电池是由含有超过60%水分的水凝胶制成的，这种水凝胶的分层结构使果冻电池既柔软又灵活。因此是“水凝胶”使电池既柔软又灵活。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Another group has also found encouraging results with a self-repairing battery. This team，based at Guilin University of Technology and a number of other research centers in China(另一个小组也发现了自修复电池的令人鼓舞的结果。该团队位于桂林理工大学和中国其他一些研究中心)”可知，另一组来自中国的科研团队也制造了一种自我修复的果冻电池。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中作者的描述“Both groups think this kind of battery could enter the market without great difficulty，and that the cost of making them would be reasonable when compared with present battery technologies.(两组人都认为这种电池可以毫无困难地进入市场，与目前的电池技术相比，制造成本是合理的)”可知，两组研究人员都认为这种电池能够顺利进入市场，并且制造成本相对合理。由此推知，作者对这种电池的未来持乐观态度。故选B项。 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。 Celebrate Your Grandparents September 8 is Grandparents Day—a perfect opportunity to make your grandparents feel special.

Later, I got promoted and was always on constant business holidays. 3 years’ devotion to work resulted in my absence from her life and now she was a teenage girl. Recently, I eventually managed to have enough time to accompany her. For the last few weeks, Micah had watched mockingbirds make a nest in a tree and lay eggs there. Sometimes, I came to stay with her without being invited. But whenever I tried to break the ice, “I’m good” was about all she said to me. Or “Leave me alone.” “Why doesn’t she want to do things with me?” I thought as I set the table for dinner one evening, hoping for an emotion bridge to reappear between us. Did she feel hurt with my long absence? Lost in thought, I was seeking to mend the relationship. “Mom!” Micah yelled suddenly. “Come quick!” Surprised, I rushed out, only to find a little baby bird on the ground, weak and helpless. My eyes went to the branches above. “The wind must have blown him out of the nest,” I said. “No, it was Mr. Whiskers — our cat. You let him go outside!” Micah said, a bit annoyed. Looking at the nest without the parents, “I’m sorry,” I said and put the bird in my palm cautiously and gently. She didn’t reply, but did not refuse my offer to help, either. Deciding to take care of the little baby till it became independent, I placed it in its nest. “What should we do next?” I asked. No answer again. Instead, Micah went inside and brought her iPad. “Bird videos?” I asked. “Yes, I’m finding out what to feed it,” she said seriously. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Soon, Micah smiled broadly, “I’ve got it.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Before long, the bird food arrived and we fed the bird “Chance” at once. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Soon, Micah smiled broadly, “I’ve got it.” “What do we need?” I asked again. She said the baby bird needed some special bird food. Hearing this, I immediately phoned to place an order. While waiting for delivery, Micah added that we needed to name the bird to build a bond. “How about Chance? I think it has a good chance of making it with your help,” I proposed. She didn’t say a word but nodded with a bright smile. Before long, the bird food arrived and we fed the bird “Chance” at once. To our relief, the special food was to its taste. The following weeks, we went to feed and check on Chance every day. One day, Micah shared with me happily her finding that Chance became independent. Looking at her shining face, I was almost moved to tears. I never imagined that the bird Chance became the real chance to rebuild the emotion bridge between us. From then, I decided to accompany her more, just as what we had done to Chance. Company is the best love. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者因工作繁忙忽视了与女儿米卡的相处，后来通过一起救助一只小鸟取名为Chance并照顾它成长的过程，重新与女儿建立起情感联系的故事。由此作者意识到陪伴是最真挚的爱，决定以后多花时间陪伴女儿。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“很快，米卡微笑着说：‘我明白了’”可知，第一段可描写作者和女儿共同帮助小鸟，并订购鸟食，并且给小鸟去了名字。 ②由第二段首句内容“没过多久，鸟食来了，我们立刻喂了鸟‘Chance’。”可知，第二段可描写作者在作者和女儿的照顾小，小鸟Chance不断恢复，女儿也十分开心，由此描述作者的最终感悟。 2.续写线索：订鸟食——起名字——投喂小鸟——照顾小鸟——小鸟回复——女儿愉快——最终感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①打电话：phone/call ②提议：propose/advise ③看着：look at/stare at 情绪类 ①灿烂的微笑：a bright smile/a gleaming smile ②感动：moved/touched 【点睛】[高分句型1] Hearing this, I immediately phoned to place an order. （句中含有现在分词作状语的结构） [高分句型2] I never imagined that the bird Chance became the real chance to rebuild the emotion bridge between us. （句中含有that引导的宾语从句） 听力 1-5 BABCA 6-10 ACBAB 11-15 ABABA 16-20 BBCBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 宜城一中 枣阳一中 曾都一中 襄阳六中 南漳一中 老河口一中 2024—2025 学年上学期期中考试 高一英语试题 注意事项： 1.答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.选择题的作答：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。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3.非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

Whether you are traveling with friends or with family, here are places that are perfect for your next group adventure. Great Barrington, The Berkshires, USA The Berkshires in Massachusetts is a popular escape for many East Coast city residents due to its charming towns. For literature fans, the Berkshires were once home to many writers, including Edith Wharton. Take a day trip to visit her home, The Mount, for history, culture and stunning architecture. Miami, Florida, USA Fun and fancy, Miami is a recognized group trip destination. Everything about Miami screams, “Grab your friends and have some fun.” Head to South Beach if you look for the classic Miami experience, but you don’t necessarily have to focus on beaches and nightlife. Leave the golden sand behind for a day, explore Little Havana, eat traditional Cuban food at Versailles, and spend an afternoon in the Art District of the neighborhood, which features a handful of galleries. Prague, Czech Republic Does your group prefer a little more history alongside your adventure? Prague is the answer. Relatively affordable compared to many of its European neighbors, Prague is an excellent choice for larger groups looking to keep expenses on the lower end and families with tight budget.

B “Gluten free (无麸质), lactose free, vegan...” These ideas on diet might sound unfamiliar to many in China. That’s why Wang Jiaqi, a 16-year-old girl from Beijing, opened a special ice cream store called EIS Engelchen in Beijing’s Sanlitun, to spread a healthier way to enjoy ice cream. “My friends and I love ice cream, but we’ve never encountered an ice cream that really ‘wows’ us,” Wang said. Then one day she heard her mom say that she had the best ice cream of her life at a café in a little town in Germany. “I immediately wanted to go there and try it for myself,” she added. Lucky for her, during her summer holiday, Wang was able to go to the town and work as a waitress in the café selling ice cream. “I not only got to taste it myself, but also learned about the healthy idea. In China, where many people are lactose intolerant (乳糖不耐受) or vegan, finding suitable ice cream is challenging due to the common use of milk and eggs.” So, Wang decided to bring this ice cream back to China to be enjoyed by even more people. At the time, the brand was only sold to cafés and hotels in Germany. But after discussions with the brand’s management, Wang not only gained the right to sell the ice cream but also opened the first physical EIS Engelchen store–all the way away in China. Wang believes that starting a business begins with something small and is a step-by-step process. “When I was in primary school, I sold products like cookies made by myself among students,” Wang said. “I think business is about noticing problems around you and working out ways to solve them.” 4. Where did Wang Jiaqi hear of the German ice cream for the first time? A. From her mother. B. In the café. C. From her friend. D. From the internet. 5. Why did Wang Jiaqi open the ice cream store in Beijing? A. She wanted to provide a place for friends to hang out. B. She was trying to promote traditional Chinese ice cream flavors. C. She wanted to solve the problem of lactose intolerance in China. D. She wanted to promote a healthier way to enjoy ice cream in China. 6. Which of the following word can best describe Wang Jiaqi? A. Business-minded. B. Kind-hearted. C. Hard-working. D. Strong-willed. 7. What’s the main idea of the text? A. A teenager called on people to eat healthy food. B. A Chinese girl started her own ice cream business. C. Bringing German food to China faced great challenges. D. Traditional ice cream was increasingly popular among students. C The U.S. Open is in full swing — Carlos Alcaraz, Naomi Osaka, and Novak Djokovic are among the tennis stars on the stadiums. Tennis has steadily grown in popularity in the last few years. Playing tennis may help you live longer compared to other sports. The Copenhagen City Heart Study, which followed over 8,500 people for 25 years, found tennis players have a better chance of living longer than those who engaged in badminton, soccer, cycling, swimming and jogging. The study projects that people who love playing tennis will live an average of 9.7 years longer than they would have otherwise. Similarly, in a 2020 study published in the International Journal of Exercise Science, tennis players who play at least twice a week were less likely to get fat, felt more energetic and had better overall health. The benefits are largely due to its influence on heart health. Playing tennis three hours a week can cut down your risk of heart disease by over 50%, according to the United States Tennis Association (USTA). Additionally, a British study found racket sports, as compared to football, cycling, and running, were uniquely associated with a lower risk for death rate. While playing tennis, you have to hold your racket(球拍) firmly, always pay attention to the opponent’s ball and then swing your racket with all your strength, which greatly keeps your brain active and improves your balance. Especially when you age, such exercise will stop muscle loss and support bone health, lowering the risk of injuries and falls. Beyond physical fitness, tennis offers significant social benefits. Compared to going to the gym by yourself, running outside, or swimming (which are still all good forms of exercise!), tennis requires you to communicate with others. For older adults who are easier to suffer loneliness, tennis can bring different groups of people together through exercising in community. Maintaining strong social networks also helps prevent mental health conditions like anxiety and depression, helping people feel happier into older age. If this is music to your ears, you’re in luck, because tennis is popular among all ages and skill levels. So, it may just be the time to dust off your racket. 8. Why are the famous tennis players mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To introduce the topic. B. To set a good example for us. C. To show the talent of tennis players. D. To stress the importance of playing tennis. 9. What did Copenhagen City Heart Study find? A. Tennis players who play at least twice a week are less likely to get fat. B. People who play tennis may live longer than those who take part in other sports. C. More people like to engage in badminton, soccer, cycling, swimming and jogging. D. People who love playing tennis will live an average of 9.7 years shorter than others. 10. Which of the following is NOT a benefit of playing tennis? A. Sharpen your brain. B. Make more friends. C. Reduce the risk of heart disease. D. Increase muscle loss. 11. What does the underline part “music to your ears” mean in the last paragraph? A. A song that you like. B. A sound that is similar to music. C. A noise that you find annoying. D. Something you are pleased to hear about. D Batteries (电池) are getting smaller, lighter and more powerful all the time. This is good news for producers and buyers of products from electric cars, mobile phones to fitness trackers. But being unable to bend as skin or tissue does make batteries uncomfortable to wear. A number of ways are therefore being taken to produce flexible batteries, including the use of fibers and nanoparticles. Among the most promising, though, are water-based batteries inspired by the way an electric eel (鳗鱼) stores its electricity. A group at the University of Cambridge has used the eel’s technique to come up with “jelly batteries”. These are made from hydrogels (水凝胶) that is made up of a layered structure of organic polymers that contain over 60% water. This makes them both soft and flexible. “Although most batteries experience a loss of conductivity (导电性) if it is bent or stretched, a jelly battery can be stretched up to one-and-a-half times its length with no conductivity loss,” says Stephen O’Neill, a member of the research team. This means it can be worn more comfortably against the skin and prove stronger when implanted into internal organs, like the lung, heart or brain. “Another feature of the jelly battery is that the strong molecular bonds allow the material to repair itself very quickly if it is broken,” says Jade McCune, another member of the Cambridge team. This provides a self-repairing ability, which could be useful for applications in extreme operating environments, such as powering sensors put into protective clothing. Another group has also found encouraging results with a self-repairing battery. This team, based at Guilin University of Technology and a number of other research centers in China, recently reported in Nano Research Energy that their battery could sustain a high level of bending and twisting, and even if broken ten times was still capable of self-repairing. Both groups think this kind of battery could enter the market without great difficulty, and that the cost of making them would be reasonable when compared with present battery technologies. The next step for the Cambridge team is to test whether their jelly batteries will reject others when implanted in tissue. As they are mainly water-based, the team does not expect any rejection problems. 12. Why are jelly batteries invented? A. Producers feel like making money. B. Traditional batteries are unable to bend. C. Buyers want lighter and smaller batteries. D. They are needed for mobile phones and fitness trackers. 13. What makes the batteries both soft and flexible? A. Hydrogels. B. Fibers and nanoparticles. C. Conductivity. D. Strong molecular bonds. 14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Jelly batteries can’t repair itself. B. Jelly batteries are inspired by a kind of plant. C. Jelly batteries experience a loss of conductivity if they are bent or stretched. D. Another group who has made a self-repairing jelly battery comes from China. 15. What attitude does the writer have to the future of jelly batteries? A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Worried. 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。 Celebrate Your Grandparents September 8 is Grandparents Day—a perfect opportunity to make your grandparents feel special.

Later, I got promoted and was always on constant business holidays. 3 years’ devotion to work resulted in my absence from her life and now she was a teenage girl. Recently, I eventually managed to have enough time to accompany her. For the last few weeks Micah had watched mockingbirds make a nest in a tree and lay eggs there. Sometimes, I came to stay with her without being invited. But whenever I tried to break the ice, “I’m good” was about all she said to me. Or “Leave me alone.” “Why doesn’t she want to do things with me?” I thought as I set the table for dinner one evening, hoping for an emotion bridge to reappear between us. Did she feel hurt with my long absence? Lost in thought, I was seeking to mend the relationship. “Mom!” Micah yelled suddenly. “Come quick!” Surprised, I rushed out, only to find a little baby bird on the ground, weak and helpless. My eyes went to the branches above. “The wind must have blown him out of the nest,” I said. “No, it was Mr. Whiskers — our cat. You let him go outside!” Micah said, a bit annoyed. Looking at the nest without the parents, “I’m sorry,” I said and put the bird in my palm cautiously and gently. She didn’t reply, but did not refuse my offer to help, either. Deciding to take care of the little baby till it became independent, I placed it in its nest. “What should we do next?” I asked. No answer again. Instead, Micah went inside and brought her iPad. “Bird videos?” I asked. “Yes, I’m finding out what to feed it,” she said seriously. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Soon, Micah smiled broadly, “I’ve got it.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Before long, the bird food arrived and we fed the bird “Chance” at once. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1-5 BABCA 6-10 ACBAB 11-15 ABABA 16-20 BBCBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
