The Rancho Bernardo student became one of the 17 young adults appointed ( 任命) to the newly revamped ( 改进的) San Diego Youth Commission by Mayor Todd Gloria in 2021. “Being on the Commission is very important and it’s an exciting new stage for my work in the community,” Pala said. Pala started Kids4Community in 2017. The group works with local charities and volunteer organizations to encourage children 5 and up to do charity work. Since the beginning, a major focus of Kids4Community has been to help the homeless. The group meets regularly to provide meal services and care packages (包裹) to the homeless and those in need. Pala said his interest in helping others comes from the example set by his parents. “My parents moved here from Turkey in 1998. Life was really hard at first, but my parents said they got a lot of help from the San Diego community. They tried very hard to give back whenever and wherever help was needed,” he said. Pala is also chair of the Lucky Ducklings Youth Advisory Board, part of the Lucky Duck Foundation, another charity with the mission of driving youth participation in community issues, particularly in helping to deal with the issue of homeless youth. The young man has just been admitted to Yale University. At Yale, he plans to major in economics or business, because personal funds and private equity ( 私募股权) are all his interests. “I want to pursue ( 追求) a career path, but link it with my community and social work,” he said. Meanwhile, Pala said the Commission members have already been communicating with each other through email, and he is very excited to work with like-minded people who want to make a difference. 4. What did Kenan Pala do in 2021? A. He set up his first charity organization. B. He moved to San Diego with his parents. C. He started to work with San Diego Youth Commission. D. He entered Yale University majoring in social science. 5. What can we learn about Kids4Community? A. It was set up more than seven years ago. B. It was created by Kenan Pala and Todd Gloria. C. It encourages children to get involved in charity. D. It offers homeless people food and job opportunities. 6. Pala developed an interest in charity work ________. A. after receiving help from his neighbors B. from seeing what his parents had been doing C. after working with the Lucky Duck Foundation D. by learning from the loving community he lived in 7. What does the underlined word “link” mean in paragraph 7? A. Connect. B. Compare. C. Share. D. Replace. Parrots live extremely long partly due to their relatively large brains an international team of researchers has discovered. Simeon Smeele, a doctoral student at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, led the study, the results of which were published in March in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B. When it comes to lifespan (寿命), birds truly stand out. Lifespan tends to increase with an animal’s body size, roughly speaking. Thus, the bigger the animal, the longer they live. But a bird tends to live much longer than a comparably-sized mammal (哺乳动物). One theory is that birds’ ability to fly means they are less at risk from the animals that kill them, which reduces their risk of being eaten, decreases stress, and frees up bodily resources for growth. And among birds, parrots are the aging champions. The confirmed longest living bird was Cookie, a Major Mitchell’s cockatoo (a species of parrot), who lived at the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois for all but one of his 83 years. Though cockatoos often weigh around a pound, they usually live for four decades. Most of the other 398 parrot species also live longer than other birds of similar size. What sets parrots apart? In the new research, Smeele and his colleagues gathered data on over 130,000 individual parrots held in more than 1,000 zoos, representing 217 species. Through this data, they created reliable estimates of the average lifespan for each species. They next searched for a link between each species’ lifespan and its relative brain size and found a clear, positive correspondence. Parrot species with larger brains relative to their body size lived longer than species with smaller brains. “This supports the idea that in general larger brains make species more flexible and allow them to live longer,” Smeele said in a statement. “For example, if they run out of their favorite food, they could learn to find something new and thus survive.” He added, “All parrots have relatively large brain sizes compared to most other birds.” Researchers have previously shown that, when trained, some parrots can recognize and understand objects, colors, and shapes, and even speak with an impressive vocabulary. They can even match five-year-old humans on basic tests of intelligence. 8. What may cause birds’ long life? A. Their big body size. B. Their ability to fly. C. Their less adventurous nature. D. Their slow-paced lifestyle. 9. What do we know about parrots according to the text? A. They outlive other similar-sized birds. B. They live longer in the zoo than in the wild. C. They have an average lifespan of four decades. D. They live in relatively less competitive environments. 10. What does the underlined word “correspondence” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Goal. B. Evidence. C. Difference D. Connection. 11. What does the author want to stress with the example in Paragraph5? A. Parrots find it hard to survive nowadays. B. Bigger brains give parrots more adaptability(适应性). C. Parrots like to discover new things by nature. D. Bigger brains aid parrots with their social ability. In 2017, five different versions of Van Gogh’s painting of sunflowers were reunited (重聚) for the first time through livestreaming (网络直播). The five paintings are housed in different museums across the world, but through livestreaming these museums gave their audiences the chance to view and compare all the paintings at once in real time. Each painting was presented by a curator (馆长) from each of the museums, who had fifteen minutes to explain the significance of their version of the artwork. This is an example of how livestreaming can offer audiences an experience that would otherwise be impossible. There is no way that they would have been able to compare the five sunflower paintings in real time without the support of technology. This livestream provides us with an interesting starting point as we consider where this technique may take us next. In recent years, some museums have made livestreaming an important part of their output. The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles is one of them. The museum went live for the first time in 2016 simply because of a suggestion by one of the museum’s interns (实习生) to broadcast their yearly college night. The short stream was an unexpected success, reaching 30, 000 people across Facebook, and got nearly 3,000 reactions, comments and shares. This success inspired the museum to post livestream content more regularly, whether it was to show off their exhibits through gallery tours, post talks with curators and other in-house experts, or to show special behind-the-scenes (幕后的) content. Through livestreaming, the museum’s online audience gets to experience a more informal look at the inner workings of the museum, and gains greater knowledge and understanding of their favourite artworks. In turn, the Getty Museum creates a worldwide audience for itself, and helps to change the idea that art galleries like the Getty Museum are only open to certain types of people, by interacting directly with a large audience. 12. What could audiences learn during the livestream of Van Gogh’s paintings? A. Where to find the original version of the paintings. B. The curators’ stories about the paintings. C. How to appreciate artworks better. D. The importance of the paintings. 13. What did the J. Paul Getty Museum livestream during its first try? A. An exhibition. B. A college event. C. A talk with curators. D. A tour around the museum. 14. How has livestreaming affected the J. Paul Getty Museum? A. It has changed people’s idea of the museum. B. It has pushed the museum to increase its number of artworks. C. It has drawn more world-class artists’ attention to the museum. D. It has helped visitors to develop a formal understanding of the museum. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Livestreaming changes how museums house artworks B. Livestreaming connects museums around the world C. Livestreaming brings museums to the public D. Livestreaming gives museums a second life Healthy relationships with your partner and family members can improve your life and make everyone feel good about themselves. ____16____ Healthy relationships take time to build and keep. The more positive effort you put into a relationship, the healthier it should be. People in healthy relationships love and support each other. ____17____ They are there for each other in the good times and the bad times. ____18____ They are less likely to have physical and mental ( 精神的) health problems. Healthy relationships can increase your sense of worth and belonging, give you confidence and encourage you to try new things and learn more about yourself. People who are in a healthy relationship talk to each other regularly and listen to each other too. Misunderstandings can happen. ____19____ Making a real effort to understand what the other person is saying also helps. Double checking that you have understood correctly can avoid misunderstandings. To encourage more open communication in your relationship, you can set aside time to speak to each other, without interruptions (打断) and put yourself in the other person’s shoes. Building healthy relationships with partners, friends and family is good for you. ____20____ Keeping good relationships with others takes time and effort. No relationship is perfect, but it is important that it brings you more happiness than stress. A. They don’t just happen though. B. Continuing them is also important. C. It is best to be clear about what you want to say. D. It is important that you both accept your differences. E. They help each other practically as well as emotionally. F.

Come on!” Emily led the way to her garden. “I go first!” Nora said as she kicked the ball towards Emily. “Is that all you got? Watch me, the champion, kick the ball!” For a second, Emily ran like the wind to the ball and kicked it so hard that it flew into the neighbor’s house. There was a loud sound. “Uh oh ... what did you do?” Nora spoke, feeling afraid. “I ... I do not know. Oh no! I think I broke my neighbor’s window,” Emily cried as she ran across her garden and hid behind a tree and Nora disappeared into the air. Fear was written all over Emily’s face. She saw the neighbor, Mr. Mason, pick up the pieces of glass. There was anger on his face. Emily ran away as fast as she could into a nearby park. She dared not return home anytime soon. The sun was setting and Emily returned home, keeping her eyes wide open for the neighbor. What if Mr. Mason was at her house? What if he knew it was her? Her heart was shaking as she cautiously (小心翼翼地) arrived home. Her mother saw the sweat on her face. She knew her daughter had done something wrong. “Emily, are you okay? Is something wrong? I can help you solve your problems, my dear,” Mother said. Emily held her mother’s hands and her eyes were wet with tears. “Mama, I did something bad, but it was unintentional. I broke Mr. Mason’s window by hitting the football so hard.” Mother listened to Emily patiently and she did not press further, although she was not pleased that Emily did not say sorry to Mr. Mason immediately. Then Mother held a pencil and began writing on a piece of white paper. Mother wrote a sentence on the paper and then she erased it and wrote something again. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 “Do you know why pencils have erasers?” Mother asked. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emily walked up to the neighbor’s front door with weak legs. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 石嘴山市第一中学2024-2025学年高二年级第二学期期中考试 英语试题 一、阅读理解 Blakeville community college Drawing workshop This course is a bridge for people who already like to draw to get to the next level.

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一个国际研究小组发现，鹦鹉的寿命非常长，部分原因是它们的大脑相对较大。文章介绍了研究开展的经过以及关于鹦鹉寿命长的发现。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One theory is that birds’ ability to fly means they are less at risk from the animals that kill them, which reduces their risk of being eaten, decreases stress, and frees up bodily resources for growth.(一种理论认为，鸟类的飞行能力意味着它们受到杀死它们的动物的威胁较小，这降低了它们被吃掉的风险，减轻了压力，并为生长释放了身体资源)”可知，飞行能力导致鸟类长寿。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Most of the other 398 parrot species also live longer than other birds of similar size.(其他398种鹦鹉中的大多数也比其他类似大小的鸟类寿命更长)”可知，鹦鹉比其他类似大小的鸟类寿命长。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“They next searched for a link between each species’ lifespan and its relative brain size and found a clear, positive”以及后文“Parrot species with larger brains relative to their body size lived longer than species with smaller brains.(与体型相比，大脑较大的鹦鹉比大脑较小的鹦鹉寿命更长)”可知，研究人员寻找每个物种的寿命与其相对大脑大小之间的联系，发现两者之间存在一个明确的、积极的对应联系，即“与体型相比，大脑较大的鹦鹉比大脑较小的鹦鹉寿命更长”。故划线词意思是“联系”。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““This supports the idea that in general larger brains make species more flexible and allow them to live longer,” Smeele said in a statement. “For example, if they run out of their favorite food, they could learn to find something new and thus survive.” He added, “All parrots have relatively large brain sizes compared to most other birds.”(Smeele在一份声明中说：“这支持了一个观点，即一般来说，更大的大脑使物种更灵活，并使它们活得更长。”“例如，如果它们吃完了最喜欢的食物，它们可以学会寻找新的食物，从而生存下来。”他补充说：“与大多数其他鸟类相比，所有鹦鹉的大脑体积都相对较大。”)”可推知，作者想用第5段的例子强调大脑越大，鹦鹉的适应能力就越强。故选B。 In 2017, five different versions of Van Gogh’s painting of sunflowers were reunited (重聚) for the first time through livestreaming (网络直播). The five paintings are housed in different museums across the world, but through livestreaming these museums gave their audiences the chance to view and compare all the paintings at once in real time. Each painting was presented by a curator (馆长) from each of the museums, who had fifteen minutes to explain the significance of their version of the artwork. This is an example of how livestreaming can offer audiences an experience that would otherwise be impossible. There is no way that they would have been able to compare the five sunflower paintings in real time without the support of technology. This livestream provides us with an interesting starting point as we consider where this technique may take us next. In recent years, some museums have made livestreaming an important part of their output. The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles is one of them. The museum went live for the first time in 2016 simply because of a suggestion by one of the museum’s interns (实习生) to broadcast their yearly college night. The short stream was an unexpected success, reaching 30, 000 people across Facebook, and got nearly 3,000 reactions, comments and shares. This success inspired the museum to post livestream content more regularly, whether it was to show off their exhibits through gallery tours, post talks with curators and other in-house experts, or to show special behind-the-scenes (幕后的) content. Through livestreaming, the museum’s online audience gets to experience a more informal look at the inner workings of the museum, and gains greater knowledge and understanding of their favourite artworks. In turn, the Getty Museum creates a worldwide audience for itself, and helps to change the idea that art galleries like the Getty Museum are only open to certain types of people, by interacting directly with a large audience. 12. What could audiences learn during the livestream of Van Gogh’s paintings? A. Where to find the original version of the paintings. B. The curators’ stories about the paintings. C. How to appreciate artworks better. D. The importance of the paintings. 13. What did the J. Paul Getty Museum livestream during its first try? A. An exhibition. B. A college event. C. A talk with curators. D. A tour around the museum. 14. How has livestreaming affected the J. Paul Getty Museum? A. It has changed people’s idea of the museum. B. It has pushed the museum to increase its number of artworks. C. It has drawn more world-class artists’ attention to the museum. D. It has helped visitors to develop a formal understanding of the museum. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Livestreaming changes how museums house artworks B. Livestreaming connects museums around the world C. Livestreaming brings museums to the public D. Livestreaming gives museums a second life 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。许多博物馆紧跟时代潮流，采用网络直播的形式向观众展示藏品，让更多的人可以欣赏到名家名作。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Each painting was presented by a curator from each of the museums, who had fifteen minutes to explain the significance of their version of the artwork.(每幅画都由每个博物馆的馆长展示，他们有15分钟的时间来解释他们版本的艺术品的意义)”可知，在梵高五幅向日葵作品的网络直播期间，观众可以通过五位馆长的介绍了解这五幅作品的重要性。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The museum went live for the first time in 2016 simply because of a suggestion by one of the museum’s interns to broadcast their yearly college night.(该博物馆于2016年首次投入使用，仅仅是因为博物馆的一名实习生建议直播他们一年一度的大学之夜)”可知，该博物馆第一次网络直播的内容是一名实习生所在学校的一次活动。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“In turn, the Getty Museum creates a worldwide audience for itself, and helps to change the idea that art galleries like the Getty Museum are only open to certain types of people, by interacting directly with a large audience.(反过来，盖蒂博物馆为自己创造了全世界的观众，并通过与大量观众直接互动，帮助改变了像盖蒂博物馆这样的艺术画廊只对某些类型的人开放的观念)”可知，此次网络直播帮助改变了人们对J. Paul Getty Museum之类的艺术博物馆原有的印象。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通过阅读全文可知，本文通过五家博物馆联合直播展示梵高作品一事引出话题，介绍了当前许多博物馆采用网络直播展示藏品现象，并以J. Paul Getty Museum为例说明了网络直播这种形式让更多的人能欣赏到博物馆的藏品，故C项“Livestreaming brings museums to the public(直播将博物馆带向公众)”作标题最合适。故选C项。 Healthy relationships with your partner and family members can improve your life and make everyone feel good about themselves. ____16____ Healthy relationships take time to build and keep.

Come on!” Emily led the way to her garden. “I go first!” Nora said as she kicked the ball towards Emily. “Is that all you got? Watch me, the champion, kick the ball!” For a second, Emily ran like the wind to the ball and kicked it so hard that it flew into the neighbor’s house. There was a loud sound. “Uh oh ... what did you do?” Nora spoke, feeling afraid. “I ... I do not know. Oh no! I think I broke my neighbor’s window,” Emily cried as she ran across her garden and hid behind a tree and Nora disappeared into the air. Fear was written all over Emily’s face. She saw the neighbor, Mr. Mason, pick up the pieces of glass. There was anger on his face. Emily ran away as fast as she could into a nearby park. She dared not return home anytime soon. The sun was setting and Emily returned home, keeping her eyes wide open for the neighbor. What if Mr. Mason was at her house? What if he knew it was her? Her heart was shaking as she cautiously (小心翼翼地) arrived home. Her mother saw the sweat on her face. She knew her daughter had done something wrong. “Emily, are you okay? Is something wrong? I can help you solve your problems, my dear,” Mother said. Emily held her mother’s hands and her eyes were wet with tears. “Mama, I did something bad, but it was unintentional. I broke Mr. Mason’s window by hitting the football so hard.” Mother listened to Emily patiently and she did not press further, although she was not pleased that Emily did not say sorry to Mr. Mason immediately. Then Mother held a pencil and began writing on a piece of white paper. Mother wrote a sentence on the paper and then she erased it and wrote something again. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 “Do you know why pencils have erasers?” Mother asked. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emily walked up to the neighbor’s front door with weak legs. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Do you know why pencils have erasers?” Mother asked. Emily replied, “To erase our mistakes.” Mother answered, “Exactly! You see, I made a mistake when writing on the paper. But I can undoubtedly remove it with this eraser. Thus, when we make mistakes in life, we can and should fix them immediately. Then it is no longer a mistake.” Emily realized what her mother wanted to say. “Mama, you are right. Saying sorry is the only way I can make up for a mistake.” Saying this, Emily got up and went out of the house. Emily walked up to the neighbor’s front door with weak legs. Emily knocked on the door and Mr. Mason opened it. “Mr. Mason. I am sorry that I broke your window. Yes, it was me. I have realized my mistake and I am very sorry,” Emily said nervously. Mr. Mason saw her shoulders drop down and smiled. “Emily, I appreciate that you have gathered enough courage to come here to say sorry. You are a good girl and I forgive you. Now, would you like to come in for some cake?” Emily smiled, “Thank you Mr. Mason and if you don’t mind me asking, I would love to have a chocolate one!” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为中心展开，主要讲述诺拉在艾米丽家的花园一起踢球的时候把邻居梅森先生家的窗户打碎了，两个人却都害怕而不敢面对。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““你知道为什么铅笔上有橡皮擦吗？”妈妈问。”可知，第一段可描写妈妈教育艾米丽有错要改。 ②由第二段首句内容“艾米丽双腿无力地走到邻居的前门。”可知，第二段可描写艾米丽勇敢地去跟梅森先生道歉的事情。 2.续写线索：教育——认识到错误——去道歉——原谅 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①擦除：erase/raclage ②改正：fix/correct ③原谅：forgive/condone 情绪类 ①抱歉的：sorry/regretful ②紧张地：nervously/tensely 【点睛】【高分句型1】Thus, when we make mistakes in life, we can and should fix them immediately.（由when引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Thank you Mr. Mason and if you don’t mind me asking, I would love to have a chocolate one!（由if引导的条件状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
