Do you remember your first backpack? Mine was red with Mickey Mouse and it carried all of my primary school books. Years later, I still remember it as a sign of happy school days and childhood. Unluckily, years fly by and it’s time for exams and preparing for college. But some seniors find a fun way to hold onto childhood a little longer by wearing childish backpacks to school. This senior backpack challenge quickly become a hit on TikTok. Usually, a lot of teenagers cannot wait to grow up; they long for independence and want to appear grown-up. But things seem to be changing, as a lot of high school seniors are dropping the cool kid look and choosing a childish style. As a lot of students are heading back to school, most of them are shopping for school supplies and new backpacks to carry them in. Instead of fashionable ones, they are choosing the ones showing their favorite childhood characters: Backyardigans, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Spider-Man — you name it. This trend is taking the internet by storm. A quick search of “seniorbackpacks” shows a lot of colorful and fun small-sized bags. Seniors are showing off their new backpacks on TikTok, making commentators(评论者)think of their school days and wish they would have kept their SpongeBob or Disney Princess backpack. A few commentators note that this trend isn’t new, and a lot of seniors have been wearing childish backpacks for years. Only in recent years has this become a trend. The senior backpack trend brought back a good feeling of longing for simpler days. Back in kindergarten, whoever had the same sweater or same shoes would become best friends. Now, years later, seeing someone wearing a backpack with the same cartoon characters is bringing that feeling back to us. 1. What is the purpose of using two questions at the beginning of the text? A. share a common problem B. bring up the topic of the text C. offer background information D. provide some advice for readers 2. Why do some seniors wear childish backpacks to school? A. To follow online influencers’ footsteps. B. To attract the attention of their classmates. C. To express their wish for personal freedom. D. To keep their connection to childhood alive. 3. What is commentators’ attitude toward the senior backpack trend? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Anxious. D. Curious. 4. What does the underlined part “that feeling” in the last paragraph refer to? A. A feeling of sadness. I B. A sense of closeness. C. A feeling of uncertainty. D. A sense of achievement B “Alexa, turn on the lights.” Consumers (消费者) like the idea that a simple voice command (命令) like this can make their home a place of simplicity, where having a simple conversation with a human-like personal assistant such as Amazon’s Alexa, completes small tasks like turning on the lights, changing the temperature, or checking the weather. While a number of voice-activated smart home systems have proved to be popular with consumers, the introduction of hands-free gesture (手势) control systems presents a different option for homeowners. Chicago-based Fibaro offers the Fibaro Swipe, a wireless gesture control pad that performs tasks and controls smart home devices with the wave of a hand. The device recognizes six gestures — up, down, left, right, circle to the left, and circle to the right, or can be programmed with more complex sequences (序列). “We developed Swipe to offer an entirely new way of interacting with technology in the home,” said Rich Bira, managing director of Fibaro USA. “Smart home consumers no longer have to worry about having their smartphone beside them at home to control their devices and ‘scenes’— Swipe will deliver a no-touch access point to control them all.” A similar product, Bixi, is also making its way into the homes of consumers. It’s the first able (便携式的) hand-gesture recognition device from France-based technology startup Biuemint Labs. It connects to phones, pads and smart home devices through Bluetooth and recognizes gestures for contact-less use. If your hands are dirty from cooking but you need to scroll (滚动) down to see the rest of a recipe (菜谱), Bixi will recognize the hand gestures to perform the action for you. “We’ve created Bixi to remove the inconvenience of having to physically interact with a touch screen, removing the need to touch or even be in front of your device,” says Vijayaraghavan Narayanan, founder and CEO of Bluemint Labs. Will gesture-controlled smart home control systems outperform those that are voice-activated? Let’s wait and see. 5. Why does the author mention Alexa at the beginning? A. To introduce a new smart home device. B. To stress the need for voice-activated systems. C. To lead up to a discussion on hands-free devices. D. To encourage consumers to use voice commands. 6. How does the author support the idea presented in paragraph 3? A. By giving examples. B. By analyzing causes. C. By stating arguments. D. By making comparisons. 7. What problem does Bixi aim to solve? A. Smartphone connection. B. Trouble with touch screens. C. Problems of movement recognition. D. Difficulty in programming different gestures. 8. What is the best title for the text? A. Are Voice-Activated Smart Homes on the Rise? B. Fibaro Swipe: A New Age in Smart Home Interaction C. Are Gesture-Control Devices the Next Big Thing in Home Tech? D. Bluem int Labs: The Answer to Touch-Free Interaction with Smart Devices C There are over 6, 000 languages spoken in the world. But did you know that some of them are in danger of dying out? From Dusner (three speakers) to Kelabit (five thousand), these languages are spread all over the world, but they all have one thing in common: unless we act soon, they could become extinct (灭绝的). Researchers at Oxford University are studying these languages. And Dr. Johanneke Sytsema, who has organized a popular seminar (研讨会) on endangered languages, thinks there could be a magic bullet for keeping minority (少数的) languages alive: social media. “Social media could help save language,” Dr. Sytsema says. “Because young people text each other in the same way they speak, even if they don’t know how to spell it.” Minority languages are often at risk of being drowned out (压过) by the louder voices of the bigger languages, which are spoken at school and in the media. But, with social media giving control to the users, the popularity of social media like TikTok might just have the opposite effect. Dr. Sytsem a has first-hand experience: she speaks Frisian. Frisian, spoken in a province in the Netherlands called Friesland, has 350, 000 speakers. Using her own language has given Dr. Sytsema food for thought about how languages could be saved in the future. “In Friesland, young people who don’t learn much Frisian writing at school send each other messages on social media in Frisian,” she says. In this way, a new generation of Frisian speakers keeps the language alive. According to Dr. Sytsema, our languages, like our wildlife, are natural creations. “Natural beauty needs to be protected. Once languages die, you don’t get them back, because they’ve grown over thousands and thousands of years,” Dr. Sytsem a explains. “Every language has its own beauty. And that’s why it’s so important.” 9. Why does the author mention Dusner and Kelabit? A. To describe the richness of human language. B. To discuss the influence of language on culture. C. To explain the importance of cultural exchange. D. To show the serious situation of endangered languages. 10 What do the underlined words “a magic bullet” mean in paragraph 2? A. A challenging task. B. An effective solution. C. An open standard. D. A common goal. 11. What gave Dr. Sytsema the idea of language protection? A. Teaching at a language school. B. The popularity of Frisian on TikTok. C. Her personal experience with Frisian. D. Working with young people in Friesland. 12. What message does Dr. Sytsema want to give us in the last paragraph? A. A language is well worth saving. B. Society is shaping human language. C. The extinction of languages can be avoided. D. The young hold the key to language protection. 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。 Whether you’re jumping in a pool to cool off or spending time at the beach, lake, or river, attention to detail helps keep the day safe.

Instead, I became a teacher, and seven years into my teaching career at a small school in West Seattle, I finally decided to give up my writing dream. It didn’t mean I stopped writing altogether, but it meant giving up on my first novel. Then one spring, four years later, my seventh graders and I had the chance to meet bestselling author Jamie Ford. After hearing his advice about writing prize-winning stories, I revisited my old dream. I created a novel-writing project the following September when my seventh-grade students became my eighth-graders. Each week, during language arts class, my students spent an hour writing stories. During that hour, I told them that I, their teacher, would be doing the same homework. They were excited to have me working alongside them. Little did they know that I usually spent that hour writing emails to parents, planning the next day’s lessons, and grading papers. During a story-writing period, a student called Kellen came up to me with a question about his book and caught me doing teacher work. He called me out. “Hey! You’re not writing!” he said, both excited and disappointed he’d caught the teacher off task. I admitted (承认) it and got back to my novel. All was well until he caught me a second time during a different story writing period. Again, I had no excuse. I went back to work, and this time I wrote wholeheartedly, truly working on my novel. 注意： 1. 所续写短文词数应为150个左右； 2. 续写部分分两段，每段开头已你写好。 Then it hit me that I needed someone to push me to write. Why not Kellen? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One afternoon, Kellen asked me whether I want to submit (提交) my novel for a competition. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力：1-5 CCABB 6-10 CABCA 11-15ABCBC 16-20ABCAB 江苏省泰州中学2024~2025学年度第一学期期中考试 高一英语试题 (考试时间：120分钟;总分：150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，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.

I approached Kellen the next day with a position. “Kellen, would you be interested in being my writing partner? You can help keep me on track, and in return, I’ll give you extra help with your writing.” His eyes lit up with surprise and excitement. “Really, I’d love that!” From then on, during our writing hour every week, we would sit together, our heads bent over our respective notebooks. Kellen would offer his own ideas and suggestions, while I would help him revise his sentences and develop his passages. One afternoon, Kellen asked me whether I want to submit (提交) my novel for a competition. The question caught me off (让我措手不及). “Do you really think it’s good enough?” I asked. “Absolutely,” Kellen replied without hesitation. “It’s the best story I’ve ever read.
