However, taking regular exercise brings us a host of benefits, ranging from building up our bodies to helping reduce stress. Besides, physical exercise also helps us to concentrate and thus improve our learning efficiency(ɪ ˈ fɪʃənsɪ效率 ). Therefore, we should give priority to(praɪˈɔːrəti 优先关注，把 ...放在首位 ) exercise no matter how busy or tired we are. We can incorporate exercise into（ɪnˈkɔːrpəreɪt合并）everyday routines, like squeezing in(挤进去) ten minutes daily for a jog. Let’s take action and exercise more! 听力录音稿 （Text 1） M: I thought you only liked collecting stamps. W: I also like collecting coins. But collecting train tickets is my favorite activity. （Text 2） W: Songs that make our hearts happy can make them stronger, too? M: Sure. It’s a new find by American researchers and reported in Russia on Tuesday. （Text 3） W: Do you have any change? I’m dying for candy and this machine won’t give change. M: Look. This one gives change. I think I’ll get something to eat, too. （Text 4） W: Good morning. May I help you, sir? M: Yes, could I change these pounds for dollars, please? W: Do you want small bills or large ones? M: Both are OK. （Text 5） M: Why didn’t you call me yesterday? I was waiting by the phone all day. W: I’m sorry, but I couldn’t call. I couldn’t find a phone. M: What do you mean you couldn’t call? You have a cellphone, don’t you? W: I used to have a cellphone. The teacher took it away because I tried to call you from class. （Text 6） M: Hello. Can I help you? W: Oh, hello. Yes. I want something to wear at a conference. M: So, you're looking for something quite smart. W: Yes. Some kind of business suit...Hmm, this is nice. Is this one on sale? M: Yes, it is. There's a 25% reduction on this one. It's a real bargain. 2 W: Hmm. It's still a bit expensive for me. Is there a discount for cash? M: Oh, no, I'm sorry. W: Oh, well, can I try it on? M: Yes, of course. The changing room is just over there. W: Thanks. （Text 7） W: My grandfather hasn't been too well lately. M: Oh dear. I'm sorry to hear that. W: He's 79. Don't you think he should slow down a bit at his age? M: Absolutely. W: But he won't listen to me. He says he wants to enjoy his life to the full. M: Fair enough. W: Last summer he went on a two-week cycling holiday in France. Last winter he attended a skiing contest. M: You are kidding. I can't believe it. W: We're going to give him a big party for his 80th birthday. M: That's great. W: But before that, I'm going to have a word with him and tell him to take things more easy. M: Good for you. （Text 8） M: This is all your fault! This wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t tried to give money to that policeman! W: Well, if you’d listened to me when I suggested asking someone for directions, we shouldn’t have got lost in the first place, would we? M: Oh, go on! Blame it all on me! You were the one who was driving when we got stopped by the police. If you hadn’t been speeding, we wouldn’t have been stopped at all! W: That’s not fair. We were doing fine until you suddenly decided you knew a quicker way! M: Oh, come on! I only suggest it because we were running so late. We would’ve been fine if you hadn’t suggested driving instead of taking the train. W: No! We would’ve been fine if you had remembered to book tickets! （Text 9） W: Why is it that some children perform better than others at school? M: Obviously, certain children are brighter than others. But it is not that simple. A lot of emphasis is placed on intelligence measured by tests. W: The so-called IQ tests? M: Yes. Basically they are intended to test language and numerical ability, so some children are bound to suffer. This is very unfortunate. A child with an average IQ may turn out to be successful when he grows up. W: What you are saying is that some children have abilities that are not easy to measure. M: Exactly. If these abilities are not discovered early, they cannot be developed. That’s why there are so many unhappy parents in the world. They are not doing the things they are best at. W: I see. M: But at school, only those who are good with words and numbers will probably do well in exams. W: Right. Is there anything a parent can do to help in this case? M: Yes. In my opinion, a child should be judged on his individual talents. After all, being happy in life is putting your skills to good use, no matter what they are. （Text 10） Mr. Mora is a famous university president. He is remembered as a humorous man because his lectures cause laughter from time to time. He is also remembered by his family and friends for being absent-minded. There are many interesting stories about Mr. Mora, which amuses people. Once on a train, a conductor came to Mr. Mora, asking for his ticket. He began to search his pockets. No ticket appeared. Mr. Mora began searching his suitcase. “Never mind, sir,” said the conductor, seeing how anxious Mr. Mora was becoming and trying to comfort him. “When you find your ticket, just post it to the station. I’m sure you have it somewhere.” “I’m sure, too,” said the president as he continued searching. “But I must find it. I need to know where I’m going.” Mr. Mora got off the train in New York and hurried to the post office to make a telephone call to his secretary. “I’m in New York now but I don’t know why,” said Mr. Mora, feeling like a small boy who had got lost. Within minutes came the short reply, “You are not supposed to be in New York. You should be in Princeton to give a lecture.” 英语试卷 第 1页（共 8页） 荆州中学 2024-2025 学年高一上学期期中考试 英语试题 （全卷满分 150 分 考试用时 120 分钟） 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 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 does the woman like collecting best?

So, let’s explore the Royal Botanic Gardens with CGTN’s reporter Robyn Dwyer. Palm House The first stop is the Palm House, a giant indoor rainforest with a wide range of plants. Visitors can enjoy these exotic plants while researchers can study the secrets of these flora. Eatable plants such as cocoa tree and African oil palm are all preserved here to keep the diversity of food resources. At the same time, it houses many medical use plants, including some that are used to treat cancer. Temperate House Known as the world’s largest Victorian glasshouse, the Temperate House is home to 1,500 species of plants from temperate regions of the world. Some of the species kept here have died out in the wild, such as Encephalartos woodii, a cycad from South Africa. And some have already disappeared like Saint Helena olive, but the Kew has stored its DNA. Mediterranean Garden In the Mediterranean Garden, one can see plants from the Southern Europe, such as rosemary, olives and cork oak. Walking in the garden, one can experience the non-indoor atmosphere of the Mediterranean and learn about the economic as well as scientific uses of these plants. On International Day for Biological Diversity this year, join CGTN to travel around the world’s national parks and reserves across seven continents. Our next program is to visit penguins and seals in the Antarctic Ice Aquarium Norway. Please stay tuned! 21. While in Temperate House, visitors may find plants ________ . 英语试卷 第 3页（共 8页） A. not living in the wild B. for cancer treatment C. showing food diversity D. from seven continents 22. What’s special about Mediterranean Garden? A. DNA of eatable plants . B. Rainforest climate. C. The largest glasshouse. D. An out-door feeling. 23. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. An encyclopedia. B. A travel program. C. A science magazine. D. A gardening handbook. B As an experienced dog trainer, Du Linjia, 30, doesn’t only “teach” dogs -- he also gives lessons to dog owners since they are the closest to their pets. With 10 years of work experience, he usually invites owners to train their dogs together with him, using a series of lessons to adjust the dogs’ behavior. In extreme cases, the dogs are taken to be trained alone. How does a trainer change a dog’s behavior? “One common aggressive behavior of a dog is growling (低吼) at its owner to protect its food,” Du said. “In such cases, we need to first analyze the dog’s motivation. It may misunderstand that the owner is there to take its food, which we aim to change.” By giving the dog even more delicious food while slowly getting closer one step at a time, the dog begins to believe I can be rewarded for letting humans come closer. Problem solved. Du believes that a dog trainer should have a strong sense of responsibility. No matter what behavior a dog has, the trainer must make judgments calmly and never give up on any dog. Empathy is important too, due to the fact that a dog’s worst behavior is usually coming from the misleading behavior of its owner. However, empathy does not only mean feeling sorry for the dog -- one needs to think from the dog’s perspective. More practically speaking, Du said a dog trainer needs to be observant (善于观察的)，and sensitive enough to notice small changes in the dog’s behavior so that they can intervene (介入) in time . “The future for dog trainers is promising,” Du said, adding that many customers who would previously only focus on whether their dogs were healthy are now willing to learn how to improve their dogs’ behavior. 24. How does Du usually work? A. Walking dogs with their owners. B. Giving lessons to both dogs and owners. C. Asking owners to get closer to their dogs. D. Training dogs in an extreme environment. 25. When they are growling at their owners, dogs probably think ________. A. they will be rewarded B. the food is not delicious C. owners will give up on them D. owners are interested in their food 26. What qualities should a good dog trainer have in Du’s view? A. Bravery and creativity. B. Intelligence and calmness. C. Empathy and independence. D. Responsibility and sensitivity. 27. If a dog shows an unusual behaviour, the owner had better ________. A. leave it alone B. offer it more food C. figure out the cause D. feel sorry for the change C From a young age, I was fascinated by language. I remember a holiday in Spain when I was 7. Two boys asked if I spoke Norwegian. When I couldn’t respond, they ran off, leaving me upset. Back home I searched shops for old language books and enjoyed trying all these different words to express what was in my head. I thought it was amazing, and still do. 英语试卷 第 4页（共 8页） At university, I did a combined languages degree, studying French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. From then on, it became a way of life. After graduation, I worked as an au pair (互惠生) in Germany, and finally studied German. I cycled to the Netherlands, picking up Dutch, then took Russian classes in Spain and got a Czech diploma in Prague. It turned out that speaking a language abroad with local people was an ideal way to learn, especially in a time before the internet. Traveling to learn a language became an adventure -- it came with huge excitement and of course lonelier, more complex moments. I have found that the speed of learning depends on the language and how focused when I’m studying. If it is similar to a language I already speak, I find I can use it in a understandable, although perhaps not polished, way within weeks. I’ve studied more than 50 languages now. I generally use 15 weekly and more than 30 in a year. I also advocate for local and endangered languages. Having a world of languages out there and not learning them is like watching TV in black and white and not knowing there is color. They will continue to enrich me for a lifetime. The most important thing about learning languages is the ability to build bridges with other people. They allow you to experience dimensions (维度) and perceptions (认知) you may never have otherwise considered. 28. When did language learning become a way of the author’s life? A. The author was 7 years old. B. The author worked in Germany. C. The author studied at university. D. The author travelled around the world. 29. What factor determined the author’s learning speed? A. The devotion to the language. B. The number of places he travelled. C. The communication on the Internet. D. The degrees he obtained at university. 30. The underlined word “polished” in paragraph 3 probably means ________. A. wrong B. perfect C. curious D. positive 31. What’s the biggest advantage of learning languages in the author’s view? A. Narrowing gaps between people. B. Traveling around the world freely. C. Experiencing a variety of cultures. D. Achieving high-level academic degrees. D Since 10 a.m. this morning, I’ve been staring at my computer screen in an attempt to squeeze an interesting article out of myself. Up until an hour ago, I only had 50 words and a dry title to show for eight hours of ‘work’. But as the sun set, I had about one hundred ideas pop into my head -- like guests showing up too late to a party. Bursts of inspiration like this at night are frequent within the creative community. Writers, artists, and inventors throughout history have all said they’ve been most inspired during night-time. In the light of psychology, we write at night with less distractions (干扰). Kids put to bed and the world outside quiet, there’s very little that can pull us away from our writing. Also, most of the day’s tasks are complete by the evening. This means we have a whole day’s worth of inspiration and experience to reflect on, most of which comes out in our writing. Another factor is that the dark hours tend to be more relaxing: lighting is softer, we’re spending less time on social media, and the overall setting is quieter. This makes it ten times easier to focus on our writing. Chemically, our brains change too. When we sleep, certain parts of the brain shut down in preparation for it as the sun sets. In particular, much of the frontal lobe (前额叶) becomes inactive, so less energy is spent on decision-making and more is directed into other parts of the brain, specifically to the right hemisphere. Despite some debate surrounding the subject, scientists generally believe the creative control-centre of the brain is in the right hemisphere, which concerns 英语试卷 第 5页（共 8页） itself with everything from emotions and intuition to the way we dream. When we reach night time, this side of our brain becomes more active because less energy is being used to power the rest of our brain. This is partly what allows creative surges to happen. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t enter a creative state during the day. If you can mirror night-time conditions, you stand the best chance of beating your writer’s block and letting words flow through you. 32. Why does the author mention his experience? A. To lead to his point. B. To prove his efforts. C. To display his routine life. D. To show off his writing talent. 33. What does Para 3 mainly talk about? A. The distractions at night. B. The way to relax at night. C. The mental advantages at night. D. The tasks to be done at night. 34. In our brains, creative thoughts increase sharply when ________. A. the frontal lobe functions well B. energy goes to decision-making C. emotions and dreams are absent D. the right hemisphere becomes active 35. Which of the following can be the best title? A. What Shall WeWrite at Night? B. When Do We Need to Write Most? C. Why Are We Most Creative at Night? D. How Can We Become A Creative Writer? 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。有两项为多余选项。 You are walking down the street. Suddenly it starts to rain and you don’t have an umbrella. What do you do? Run or walk? Most people would choose to run because it will get you out of the rain faster. ____36____ So what should you do? Things are more complicated (复杂的) than you might think. Franco Bocci, a professor at the University of Brescia in Italy, found that whether you should travel slowly or quickly in rain depends on the wind’s direction and your body’s shape, according to the BBC. When there is no wind, and the rain falls directly on you, Bocci suggests that you should run and hide as fast as possible. But if the wind comes from behind and blows the rain onto your back, the best thing to do is walk at the same speed as the wind. ____37____ This is not all. When the wind blows in from the side, you’ll have to think about one more thing -- your body shape. ____38____ In this case, a fatter person had better run while a thinner person should still try to match their speed to the wind. “In general, the best thing is to run as fast as you can -- not always, but in general,” Bocci told BBC News. “If you’re really thin, it’s more probable that there will be an ideal speed. Otherwise, it is better to run fast.” ____39____ Back in 1987 they thought that running or walking did not really make a difference. Years later they realized that wind direction might be a factor. And here, more complicated study results have been found by Bocci. ____40____ But the best way to stay dry is still to carry an umbrella. A. Thinner people are hit by fewer raindrops. B. If there is no wind, walk at your usual speed. C. But if you run, you also run into more raindrops. D. This way, both your front and back will stay mostly dry. E. Now you know what to do next time the rain catches you. F. In fact, this question has puzzled scientists for many years. G. Running is always the best choice to stay as dry as possible. 英语试卷 第 6页（共 8页） 第三部分 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，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C和 D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的 最佳选项。 Pappy, an owner of a pawnshop (当铺), was a pleasant-looking old fellow.

I’ve decided to sell the bell.” “Oh, thank you, sir. Grandpa will be so happy.” “Okay, little lady. You must ____51____ to take good care of the bell for your grandpa–and for me, too, okay?” He ____52____ placed the bell in a paper bag. “Oh, I promise.” said the girl and then left the shop merrily. Later that evening as Pappy ____53____ his shop, he thought he heard his bell again. He turned around, and there stood the little girl, ringing the bell and ____54____ sweetly. Pappy was ____55____.
