The exhibition provided a diverse range of fitness options available to everyone, including Tai Chi demonstrations, martial arts performances and group exercises, all highlighting the citizens’ enthusiasm for a healthy lifestyle. Thoroughly enjoying such an impressive activity is a memorable experience. And it is both inspiring and motivating to see participants actively involved and attach importance to physical well-being. Looking forward to your reply. Yours, Li Hua 第二节(满分 25 分) One possible version: I remembered being angry at my own father’s commands. He would insist on certain routines and habits that seemed so unnecessary to me at that time. But now, putting myself in my father’s shoes, I came to the realization that the importance of those lessons were definitely essential in shaping responsible individuals. It was his insistence on these practices that made me realize their significance. This realization was so profound that it has reshaped my perspective on parenting. I began to appreciate the growth and independence of Nathaniel. His rules, though sometimes frustrating, were a witness to his maturity and his understanding of the world. Therefore, not only did I willingly adapt to his way of living, but also I realized the fact that it was time for us parents to let go and allow our children to stand on their own feet. The whole week’s stay passed quickly and this visit would be rooted in my memory forever. 写作评分说明 第一节： 应用文写作（满分15分） 文章总共分两个部分，包括1. 参观内容；2. 你的感想。如两个部分都涵盖，文章段落分明，书写清楚，字数达到要求，表达无太多错误，得分则应在10分以上。 一、评分原则 1. 本题总分为15分，按5个档次给分。 2. 评分时，先根据文章的内容和语言初步确定其所属档次，然后以该档次的要求衡量、确定或调整档次，最后给分。 3. 词数少于60或多于100的，酌情扣分。 4. 评分时，应注意的主要内容为：内容要点、应用词汇和语法结构的丰富性和准确性及上下文的连贯性。 5. 拼写与标点符号是语言准确性的一个方面，评分时，应视其对交际的影响程度予以考虑。英美拼写及词汇用法均可接受。 6. 如书写较差，以至影响交际，将分数降低一个档次。 二、各档次的给分范围和要求 第五档 (13-15分) 完全完成了试题规定的任务。完全达到了预期的写作目的。 1. 覆盖所有内容要点。 2. 应用了较多的语法结构和词汇。 3. 语法结构或词汇方面有些许错误，但为尽力使用较复杂结构或较高级词汇所致；具备较强的语言运用能力。 4. 有效地使用了语句间的连接成分，使全文结构紧凑。 第四档 (10-12分) 完成了试题规定的任务。 达到了预期的写作目的。 1. 虽漏掉一、二个次重点，但覆盖所有主要内容。 2. 应用的语法结构和词汇能满足任务的要求。 3. 语法结构或词汇方面应用基本准确，些许错误主要是因尝试较复杂语法结构或词汇所致。 4. 应用简单的语句间的连接成分，使全文结构紧凑。 第三档 (7-9分) 基本完成了试题规定的任务。 整体而言，基本达到了预期的写作目的。 1. 虽漏掉一些内容，但覆盖所有主要内容。 2. 应用的语法结构和词汇能满足任务的要求。 3. 有一些语法结构或词汇方面的错误，但不影响理解。 4. 应用简单的语句间的连接成分，使全文内容连贯。 第二档 (4-6分) 未恰当完成试题规定的任务。 信息未能清楚地传达给读者。 1. 漏掉或未描述清楚一些主要内容，写了一些无关内容。 2. 语法结构单调、词汇项目有限。 3. 有一些语法结构或词汇方面的错误，影响了对写作内容的理解。 4. 较少使用语句间的连接成分，内容缺少连贯性。 第一档 (1-3分) 未完成试题规定的任务。 信息未能传达给读者。 1. 明显遗漏主要内容，写了一些无关内容，原因可能是未理解试题要求。 2. 语法结构单调、词汇项目有限。 3. 较多语法结构或词汇方面的错误，影响对写作内容的理解。 4. 缺乏语句间的连接成分，内容不连贯。 不得分：（0分） 未能传达给读者任何信息：内容太少，无法评判；写的内容均与所要求内容无关或所写内容无法看清。 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） 评分说明 1. 评分原则： 本题总分为25分，按5个档次给分。 给分公平、公正；宽严并济，不能过严或过松；得分有理，扣分有据。 2. 评分标准：立意积极、情节合理、语言水平及风格（语言风格与前文一致）、书写美观。 三个逻辑一致原则：续写部分与所给短文之间的逻辑；续写两段内容之间的逻辑；续写部分与所给开头语之间的逻辑。 3. 评分程序: 阅读第1遍：根据续写总体情节及重点内容描写，初步确定所属档次。 阅读第2遍：根据写作语言（修辞、句式、词汇等），确定或调整档次。 阅读第3遍：看词数（少于130个，从总分中扣2分）； 看书写（书写及卷面较差的建议降为三档或三档以下）。 三、各档次的给分范围和要求 档次 描述 第五档 （21—25） 1. 与所给短文融洽度高，与所提供各段落开头语衔接合理。 2. 内容丰富。 3. 所使用语法结构和词汇丰富、准确，可能有些许错误，但完全不影响意义表达。 4. 有效地使用了语句间的连接成分，使所续写短文结构紧凑。 第四档 （16—20） 1. 与所给短文融洽度较高，与所提供各段落开头语衔接较为合理。 2. 内容比较丰富。 3. 所使用语法结构和词汇较为丰富、准确，可能有些许错误，但不影响意义表达。 4. 比较有效地使用了语句间的连接成分，使所续写的短文结构紧凑。 第三档 （11—15） 1. 与所给短文关系较为密切，与所提供各段落开头语有一定程度的衔接。 2. 写出了若干有关内容。 3. 应用的语法结构和词汇能满足任务的要求，虽有一些错误，但不影响意义表达。 4. 应用简单的语句间连接成分，使全文内容连贯。 第二档 （6—10） 1. 与所给短文有一定的关系，与所提供各段落开头语有一定程度的衔接。 2. 写出了一些有关内容。 3. 语法结构单调，词汇项目有限，有些语法结构和词汇方面的错误，影响了意义的表达。 4. 较少使用语句间的连接成分，全文内容缺少连贯性。 第一档 （1—5） 1. 与所提供短文和开头语的衔接较差。 2. 产出内容较少。 3. 语法结构单调，词汇项目很有限，有较多语法结构和词汇方面的错误，严重影响了意义的表达。 4. 缺乏语句间的连接成分，全文内容不连贯。 0 白卷、内容太少无法评判或所写内容与所提供内容无关。 听力原文： (Text 1) M: Are you going to the concert tonight? W: No, I promised to take care of my neighbors’ children while they go to the hospital. (Text 2) W: I parked my car on Peterson Road this morning, but there is no parking there between the hours of 2 to 4. So I need to step out for a moment and park on Jane Road. M: Why don’t you park on College Street? It’s free, and it’s not too far to walk here from there. (Text 3) M: May I watch what you’re doing? W: Sure. You dig a hole, put it in the soil, cover it with dirt, and then water it. (Text 4) W: I can’t believe that you are leaving us. It is sad to see you go, but I wish you the best in the new business you are starting up. I am sure that you are going to be successful. M: Thanks. I’ve been waiting a long time to do this. (Text 5) M: Jane, can you spare an hour this afternoon? I really need you to explain some of the parts I don’t understand in the report. W: OK, Jack. I’ll drop by your office right after having lunch with a very important customer. (Text 6) W: I hear you’ve got a really good job for this summer. M: Yes, I’m starting next. week. I’ll be working at a football camp. I won’t coach young children. Instead, I applied for the childcare job. W: What’s the pay like? M: Well, their standard hourly rate is £6, but they’ve offered me an extra pound an hour because I’ve already got some experience of this kind of work. And if I go back and work for them again next year, the pay will go up to £8 per hour. W: That’s great! (Text 7) M: Do you know why we’re shutting down rides an hour early tonight? W: There will be fireworks in the main square this evening. This month, there’s a special event each week. The schedule is posted in the staff break room. M: Oh, odd. I never saw that throughout the week. W: Well, it’s in there. OK, we’d better get back to work. Don’t forget to place closing signs near the ride entrances in 30 minutes. M: OK. (Text 8) W: Wakey, wakey, sleepy head! M: Huh? W: I know it’s the weekend, but it’s noon, and your room is a complete mess. We haven’t got too long before we’re off to Auntie Nicky’s this afternoon for a BBQ. I need you to get up and start sorting it out. M: OK, Mom. How long have I got? W: About two hours. If you get started right away, that’ll be plenty of time. M: Honestly, Mom, I don’t know where to start. W: There’s stuff in every corner, so the best plan would be to start by putting the clothes wherever they need to go. Then you need to pick up all the litter and empty the bins. Once you’ve done that, remember to dust the shelves. M: I hate tidying up, Mom. It’s so boring and tiring. W: I know, but you’ll love it when everything is nice and clean afterwards. M: That’s right. I don’t like living in a dirty room. W: Go to the bathroom to wash up first and then you can start tidying and cleaning. (Text 9) W: Hi there. My name’s Elle Galleano. M: Hi. You’re the girl who started her own food business at the age of 13, aren’t you? W: That’s right. And you are the guy who’s got his own fashion line. M: That’s me. W: I love your designs. I’ve seen photos in magazines of actors wearing your designs. But you don’t like giving interviews, do you? M: No. I prefer to hide behind my clothes. You don’t seem to mind, though. W: I started by writing blogs about my products online, so it’s not a problem. I’ve just read your book. I thought the section on presenting yourself for job interviews was really helpful. M: Thanks! My company now has over fifty people and I’ve interviewed most of them. They were very surprised to find a teenager interviewing them. Do you interview job applicants? W: No, actually. My business is still pretty small and we’ve kept it in the family—Dad manages the money, Mum does the office work and two brothers of my dad work in production. We love working together. (Text 10) My friends say I have a good ear for languages. It may be true because I learn new words easily and I really enjoy speaking foreign languages. At school we all study French and German. Believe it or not, some of my classmates and I are also learning Chinese. We belong to the after-school Chinese club. We meet up with our teacher Mr.Lee twice a week. Chinese isn’t easy but we study hard and we’ve made a lot of progress. In May, I’m planning to take part in a language competition for primary schools and I will give a presentation on teenagers in China, of course in Chinese. I began my preparation in January. Well...Now I have fallen slightly behind due to being ill for two weeks, causing me to miss four Chinese lessons. But I’m sure that I will be back on track soon. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$2024-2025学年（上）高三期中质量监测 英语 (满分150分，考试时间120分钟) 注意事项： 1,答卷前，考生务必将白己的姓名、考试号填写在答题卡上 2回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答 案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号，回答非选 择题时，将答案写在答题卡上相应位置。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将答题卡交监考老师。 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将 试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题：每小题15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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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 will the woman do tonight?

B In her tiny Athens apartment,93-year-old loanna Matsouka has knitted thousands of brightly colored searves for children in need from Greece to Ukraine, and she has no plans to quit just yet."Until I die,I will be knitting."Matsouka says. Since she took up knitting in the 1990s,Matsouka has easily made over 3.000 scarves,her daughter estimates. In the hallway by the door,shopping bags filled with her latest creations await their new home.A knitted blanket is thrown over the sofa where she spends her days. Initially distributed to friends,the scarves were later contributed to children's shelters across Greece as the stock expanded.Then,through acquaintances,they reached children in Bosnia and Ukraine.The latest batch of 70 went to a refugee camp near Athens this winter via the UN refugee agency. Her daughter,Angeliki,narrates drawings and mails her mother has received over the years:"Thank you,be well,keep going.You gave joy to children,you gave joy to people."That's her only reward:a letter,a few words.Matsouka knits one scarf a day,now with small imperfections.Her vision is impaired and she suffers from severe facial pain,.a condition known as trigeminal neuralgia(三叉神经痛). Angeliki says her mother is an example of resilience and optimism.Matsouka wakes up every moming.drinks a glass of milk,puts on her pearl earrings and gets to work. She takes a break for lunch and a nap,and then painstakingly knits into the night. She may have even found the secret to a long life in it,she says."It's the happiness I get from giving."she says,sitting beside a big blue bag brimming with yar ()."Until I die,I will be knitting."Matsouka says.Her knitting needles click through her expert fingers,her nails painted red."It brings me joy to share them. 24.What did the scarves begin as? A.Presents to acquaintances. B.Initiatives for fundraising. C.Donation to a refugee camp D.Stock for children's shelters. 25.What can be inferred about Matsouka from paragraph 4? A.She yields to her severely impaired vision. B.She wakes up every moming due to facial pain. C.She continues knitting despite her health challenges. D.She is only rewarded with drawings from her daughter. 26.Which of the following words fail to describe Matsouka? A.Resilient and reserved. B.Optimistic and generous. C.Persevering and passionate D.Responsible and sympathetic. 27.What message does the article mainly convey? 高三英语期中考认第4夏共0页 A.The eye is bigger than the belly B.Giving is better than accepting. C.An early bird catches the worm. D.A rolling stone gathers no moss. C If autonomous cars are supposed to make life easy.then Apollo Go,the robotaxi unit of Baidu.a Chinese tech giant,still has work to do.When the joumalist tested its service in the city of Wuhan,he had to find his way to an appointed pick-up location and end his joumey at an appointed drop-off spot,which is more like taking a bus than a taxi. Yet Apollo Go,which was launched in Wuhan in 2022 and has since expanded to ten other Chinese cities,has been a hit.The reason why Apollo Go has gained such favor with riders is that it is astonishingly cheap.The journalist's 11-minute route costs just 9.84 yuan ($1.35).Such fares are possible thanks to the generosity of Baidu,which is covering around 60%of the cost of a ride.That is not sustainable. Drivers amount to about half of the total cost for a conventional ride-hailing )service.But a variety of other expenses associated with autonomous vehicles- from maintenance and cleaning to sensors and,most importantly,the software on which they run-have so far prevented them being a cheaper substitute.Baidu sees that changing.In May it uncovered its sixth-generation vehicle,which costs less than half the previous model,and plans to upgrade the robotaxis in Wuhan. One group that is not thrilled by Baidu's success is Wuhan's taxi drivers.When asked whether their jobs will be affected,one insists that it"is already happening". Another driver says he admires Baidu's technological advances but worries his job will be"stolen".About 10 million people are employed as cabbies in China,of whom about 7million work for ride-hailing firms after losing their jobs in another industry. Elsewhere,efforts to develop robotaxis have suspended.Tesla,America's electric-vehicle giant,said it would postpone the launch of its robotaxis from August to October.China is eagerly seeking to gain an edge in emerging industries In the future,with the continuous advancement of technology and the ongoing decrease in costs,autonomous taxis are expected to become more popular in more cities. 28.What is the main problem Apollo Go faces in paragraph 1? A.Difficulty in booking a ride. B.Inflexibility in the travel routes. C.Delay in the arrival of autonomous cars. D.Lack of appointed pick-up and drop-off points. 29.What contributes most to Apollo Go's success? A.Low fares B.City expansion. C.Safety measures. D.Advanced technology 30.What is Wuhan's taxi drivers'attitude towards Apollo Go? 00 A.Appreciative. B.Ambiguous. C.Negative. D.Skeptical. 高三英话期中考认第5页共10页 3.Which of the olwnbe thebe A.China's robotaxis are racing ead B.Baidu has left westem carmaker the dust C.Robotaxi is gradually stealing taxirversjobs. D.Unemployment rate is increasingmonrivers Earth is about to gain a new"mini-moon but itwon't stayaround for long D The newly discovered asteroid (named 2024 PT5,will temporarily be captured by Earth's gravity and orbitouwordfromSepember 2to November 25. according to astronomers.Then,the space rock will retu toaheliocenricobit, which is an orbit around the sun.Theasteroid is likely about 37 feet(meters)n diameter ()but more observations and data are needed oo itssize"said lead study author Carlos. The space rock could be anywhere between 16 and 138 feet in diameter, potentially larger than the asteroid that entered Earth's atmosphere over Chelyabinsk Russia,in 2013.About 55 to 65 feet in size,the Chelyabinsk asteroid exploded in the air,releasing 20 to 30 times more energy than that of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima,Japan,and generating brightness greater than the sun. But as a mini-moon,Asteroid 2024 PT5 isn't in any danger of colliding with Earth now or over the next few decades.The space rock will orbit about 2.6 million miles away,or about 10 times the distance between Earth and the moon. "Whether an asteroid gets captured by Earth is independent of its sizeormass it only depends on its speed and trajectory()as it approaches the Earth-Moon system,"said Robert.a specialist on solar system bodies."At any given time,there is approximately one mini-moon in the Earth-Moon system,roughly the sie of a dishwasher,but they are so difcut to detectandmfthmondiscoved during the time when they remain bound to Earth," Mini-moons can also be asteroids that come from the main asteroid belt. located between Mars and Jupiter,or they may be pieces of the lunar surface launched by asteroid impacts millions of years ago.Carlos and his colleagues plan to observe 2024 PT5 to collect more data and details."Determining where they come rom coud helpus understand the processfcr()fomationand how material is forced out from the Moon's urface."he said. 32.What can we leam from 2024 PTS? A.The asteroid will be captured by gravity for long B.The asteroid's accurate size has yet to be confirmed. C.2024 PT5 has entered Earth's amosphere over Russia D.2024PT5willstay around the Earth for about3months. 33.Why does02PT5usham to the Earth? 高三英语期中考认第6真共10页 A.It lacks the energy to destroy the Earth B.It is actively monitored by the specialists. C.It is smaller than the Chelyabinsk asteroid. D.Its trajectory avoids colliding with the Earth. 34.Which statement does Robert agree with? A.Many mini-moons always exist in the Earth-Moon system. B.Mini-moons are detectable due to their dish-washer size. C.Detection of mini-moons bound to Earth is challenging. D.Capture of an asteroid enjoys independence of speed. 35.Why does Carlos plan to observe 2024 PT5? A.To collect pieces of the lunar surface. B.To observe mini-moons in the asteroid belt. C.To perceive the process of crater formation. 00m1d(济有)为与 D.To understand asteroid impacts on Moon's surface. 在hut oeil b5 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。P Ever notice that you feel happier when you're baking?36 The scent of vanilla (in cookies may help you relax and may contribute to your improved behaviour.You also might find the same mood-lifting effect when having your morning grapefruit. 37There's a reason why we suggest people stop and smell the roses: The smell of roses is uplifting.and when we smell them,our body has a positive physiological and psychological response to their fragrance Studies conducted at Rutgers University found that when we smell floral scents such as roses or lavender(藏衣草)，it makes us happy.In fact people who smell floral scents report three times as many happy thoughts as before smelling flowers. 38 Because it may be stimulating the brain in a similar way to how a prescribed drug would: 1 Fragrance has been used for centuries as a'way to trear the body and mind. 39When you breathe in these fragrances,whether it's your favorite perfume oil. a scented candle or even the rose itself,you're triggering a chain of events in the body that begins with the smell organs in your nose.40 The body's limbic system,the part of the brain that manages our emotions and memories,is stimulated. The brain triggers a physiological response,such as a change in serotonin or norepinephrine levels,to manage our moods. A.It's not just the fragrance of food,though. .8 B.Or do you have the similar experience when working out? 90 C.And the scent of lavender,for example,may make you feel calmer.
