Whether we notice or not, these stories guide us throughout our lives. They allow us to see the world through another’s eyes, open up our world and teach us about every subject known to man. Although they are important, many people throw out their old books laying waste the wisdom that lies on each page. Try to save this knowledge and share it with people, a garbage man (清洁工) in, Bogota, Colombia has been saving thrown-away books for 20 years and sharing them with those in need. “I hated to see all the books in the dustbins of wealthier neighborhoods. So I started to rescue them,” said Gutierrez. The first book he found was a copy of the classic novel Anna Karenina written by Leo Tolstoy (托尔斯泰). The Tolstoy book was later joined by The Little Prince, Sophie’s World, The lliad and a number of novels. Today, he has collected around 25,000 books. His growing collection didn’t go unnoticed. Gutierrez’s neighbors were soon borrowing the books to help with their children’s homework. “There was a lack of them in our neighborhood, so we started to help.” said Gutierrez. The ground floor of Gutierrez’s home is now filled with books, from floor to ceiling. He opened it up as a free library, with the help of his wife Luz Gutierrez and their three children. Word finally spread around about Gutierrez and his books. Most of the books now come from donations. He now travels around the country delivering free books to poor and remote areas. The library named“The Strength of Words”, has donated books to some 235 schools, institutions and community libraries across Colombia. 4. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By giving some numbers. B. By writing a diary. C. By describing the nature. D. By stating some facts. 5. What did the Tolstoy book mean to Gutierrez? A. A heavy box of books. B. The beginning of his kindness. C. A real friend in difficult times. D. He wrote the book by himself. 6. Which saying does Gutierrez’s story lead us to believe? A. One man’s garbage is another man’s wealth. B. A bad beginning makes a bad ending. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Practice makes perfect. 7. What’s the best title for the text? A. folstoy books recovered from dustbins. B. Garbage man builds a library from rescued books. C. Free libraries popular with neighborhood kids. D. Literature now attracts garbage collectors. C Using a raised eyebrow or smile, people with speech or physical disabilities can now operate their Android-powered smartphones without using their hands, Google said on Thursday. Two new tools put machine learning and front-facing cameras on smartphones to work, identifying face and eye movements. Users can look at their phone screens and select a task by smiling, raising eyebrows, opening their mouths, or looking to the left, right or up. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that 61 million adults in the United States live with disabilities, which has pushed Google, Apple and Microsoft to make products and services more accessible to them. “Every day, people use voice instructions, like ‘Hey Google’, or their hands to operate their phones,” the tech giant Google said in a blog post. “However, that’s not always possible for people with serious physical or speech disabilities.” The changes are the result of two new features: One is called “Camera Switches”, which lets people use their faces instead of taps to interact with smartphones. The other is Project Activate, a new Android application which allows people to use those gestures to start an action, like having a phone play a recorded phrase, send text, or make a call. The free Activate app is available in Australia, Britain, Canada and the United States at the Google Play Store. Apple, Google and Microsoft have kept rolling out inventions that make Internet technology more accessible to people with disabilities or who find that age has made some tasks, such as reading, more difficult. Voice-instructed digital assistants built into speakers and smartphones can enable people with sight or movement challenges to tell computers what to do. There is software that identifies text on web pages or in images and then reads it aloud, as well as automatic generation of captions that display what is said in videos. Apple built “AssistiveTouch” into the software powering its smartwatches. It lets touchscreen displays be controlled by sensing movements such as finger pinches or hand clenches. 8. What is the main role of the two new tools? A. Taking sharper photographs with a phone. B. Using smartphones with face gestures. C. Curing people’s speech or physical disabilities. D. Increasing the fun of playing with smartphones. 9. What do we know about the Project Activate app? A. It’s sold at a high price. B. It’s mainly used to send texts. C. It’s instructed by voice. D. It’s being used in a few countries. 10. What does the underlined part “rolling out” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Picking out. B. Referring to. C. Bringing out. D. Reacting to. 11. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To promote Android-powered smartphones. B. To encourage more movements suitable for the disabled. C. To explain the problems disabled smartphone users have. D. To introduce some other inventions benefiting the disabled. D It is not always easy to understand animal behavior, especially when it’s related to other species. For decades, researchers have observed orcas (虎鲸) attacking and even killing porpoises (鼠海豚) in the Pacific Northwest. But it confuses people that these expert hunters don’t eat them. So what’s going on here? Southern Resident orcas are a different population of orcas that live in the Pacific Northwest. The lives of these orcas are closely tied to those of the salmon. So if the salmon disappear, so too will the orca. But despite their preference for the salmon, these whales are known to attack and kill other smaller marine mammals (海洋哺乳 动物) without eating them. To better understand this unusual behavior, an international team of researchers did a research and examined more than 60 years of recorded interactions between Southern Resident orcas and porpoises in the Salish Sea. “Why don’t the Southern Residents just eat porpoises instead?” Deborah Giles of Wild Orca said. “It’s because fish-eating killer whales have a completely different ecology and culture from orcas that eat marine mammals. So we must conclude that their interactions with porpoises serve a different purpose, but this purpose has only been a guess until now. ” According to Giles and her colleagues’ work, the orca may be attacking the porpoise as a form of social play. It is possible these large animals may be attacking the smaller mammals as a way to build up social cohesion (凝聚力). Similarly, the behavior could represent hunting practice, by which the orcas are practising their teamwork and cooperation skills for hunting salmons. Finally, the behavior could be a way of “mismothering” where the orca see the smaller porpoises as weaker or ill and so in need of care. This work highlights the need for the protection of salmon populations in the area as well as the orcas’ entire hunting range. The threat to the salmon’s future is not just a threat to a single species, but an entire ecosystem. 12. Why did an international team of researchers do their study? A. To find out a way to protect porpoises. B. To make sure the reason why some orcas attack salmon. C. To solve the problem of marine mammals’ living environment. D. To better understand the strange behavior of Southern Resident orcas. 13. What is Southern Resident orcas’ favorite food? A. the porpoise. B. the marine mammal. C. the salmon. D. the whale. 14. According to Giles’ research, which may be a reason for the orcas’ attacking porpoises? A. It’s a kind of social play with porpoises. B. It is a practice to kill porpoises as their food. C. The orcas may dislike the smaller porpoises. D. It’s a way for the orcas to practice their hunting skills. 15. What probably is the writer’s attitude to the research? A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Uncertain. 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。 Guide for Teenagers The teenage years can be tough, and it’s normal to feel sad every now and then.

He had a broad range of interesting facts about nature, which helped his business quite a bit. The year was 1989 and Chito was walking along the banks of the Reventazón River when he happened upon something very strange. There was a dying male crocodile (鳄鱼). When he stepped up to carefully examine the skinny reptile, he realized it had been shot through the head and then left eyes. He knew, dangerous as it was, he couldn't leave the poor animal there, alone and helpless. Chito acted quickly, calling for the help of several brave friends to load the heavy reptile into his boat. He knew if he could heal it, he would then send it back into the wild. He named the huge reptile “Pocho”, which means strength and began to care for him in his own backyard. The kind and helpful fisherman started to heal Pocho with medicine, food, and more importantly, lots of care and attention. Chito fed the crocodile a steady diet of chicken and fish. He bought medicine to prevent infection (感染) and even slept by his side at night. Affection was one of the most important factors. Chito gave him kisses and hugs. He talked to him and petted him. “The crocodile needed my love to regain the will to live,” he said. In time, Pocho improved enough to returned to normal health. It was time for him to return to his own river in the wild. Chito and his friends loaded the crocodile back into his boat and set him free in a nearby river. The two parted ways and Chito returned home alone. 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； Chito awoke the next morning, and walked outside. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A closer relationship was formed between Pocho and Chito. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 鄞州中学2024学年第一学期期中考试 高一年级英语学科 试题 考生注意： 1. 答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2. 答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 3. 非选择题的答案必须使用，黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔写在答题纸上相应区域内，作图时可先使用2B铅笔，确定后必须使用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔描黑。 选择题部分 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.

To his surprise, a crocodile was sleeping in his backyard. He recognized it at the first sight: it was Pocho. This crocodile had swum down the river and followed him home quietly. It seemed to Chito that Pocho had made its choice. It wanted to live with the man who had saved its life. Chito felt an unspeakable feeling that resonated in the heart of a father as he looked upon Pocho. Paragraph 2: A closer relationship was formed between Pocho and Chito. They are inseparable now. Every day Chito wades into the chest- deep water in his little lake and calls out to his friend, who appears from beneath the muddy depths to roll about and play with its keeper, and then Chito would kiss it. Pocho can understand Chito gradually. The unique friendship has drawn the attention of tourists from around the world; more and more tourists come into town and visit Chito and Pocho. In order to welcome guests, they have performed a weekly act in his own backyard before hundreds of tourists. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
