Seeing Tony, he told him to come the next day. But Tony didn’t give up and explained all to the owner. Hearing Tony’s explanation, the owner opened the bag to check the mangoes. To Tony’s disappointment, they were not enough to exchange a lovely doll. He was walking out with tears rolling down his face when the owner stopped him and finally agreed because of his love for his sister. After giving many thanks, Tony got his sister a dream present. Paragraph 2： The following morning, Alice walked into the kitchen and took a seat at the breakfast table. She noticed a beautiful box on the table. Curious, she opened the box carefully. To her great surprise, she found the doll she had been dreaming of for a long time. When Tony said happy birthday to her, Alice couldn’t help crying and hugged him tightly. Touched by the warm atmosphere, their parents smiled with pleasure, knowing their son had grown up and was reliable enough to take care of his sister. 附听力原文 1.【答案】B 【原文】 M: Hi, Dianna, it’s Scott.

B 25. C 26. A 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要介绍马赛发明家Richard Turere在11岁时发明了狮子灯系统，并获得了2023年欧洲发明家奖青年发明家奖第一名。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Turere invented the Lion Lights system at age 11. As a young Maasai boy, Turere was entrusted with the vital responsibility of protect g his family’s cattle from predators(捕食者). He recognized the need for a solution to prevent lions and other predators from attacking livestock(牲畜), which led him to develop the innovative light system that has since gained global recognition. (Turere在11岁时发明了狮子灯系统。作为马赛的一个小男孩，Turere被赋予了保护家里的牛免受捕食者袭击的重要责任。他认识到需要一种解决方案来防止狮子和其他捕食者攻击牲畜，这促使他开发了创新的光系统，该系统已获得全球认可。)”可知，Turere发明了狮子灯系统是为了防止狮子和其他捕食者攻击牲畜。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Known as Lion Lights, Turere’s invention is based on a simple concept: visually reproducing the human presence that keeps lions away. (Turere的发明被称为“狮子灯”，它基于一个简单的概念：在视觉上再现让狮子远离的人类存在。)”可知，“狮子灯”利用光来塑造人类存在的模式。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The European Patent Office (EPO) on 4th July 2023 announced that Maasai inventor, Richard Turere, won first place in the Young Inventor Prize at the European Inventor Award 2023. (欧洲专利局（EPO）于2023年7月4日宣布，马赛发明家Richard Turere获得2023年欧洲发明家奖青年发明家奖第一名。)”可知，是一个发明家，所以是有创造力的人。根据最后一段“In 2013, Turere founded the Lion Lights organization, which now cooperates with more than 50 young people in his native village. Turere’s commitment and resourcefulness have attracted international attention. (2013年，Turere创立了Lion Lights组织，该组织目前与他家乡村庄的50多名年轻人合作。Turere的奉献和足智多谋引起了国际社会的关注。)”可知，Turere创立了Lion Lights组织帮助其他村民，所以他是一个很有奉献精神的人。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The European Patent Office (EPO) on 4th July 2023 announced that Maasai inventor, Richard Turere, won first place in the Young Inventor Prize at the European Inventor Award 2023. (欧洲专利局（EPO）于2023年7月4日宣布，马赛发明家Richard Turere获得2023年欧洲发明家奖青年发明家奖第一名。)”可知，这篇文章主要介绍马赛发明家Richard Turere在11岁时发明了狮子灯系统，并获得了2023年欧洲发明家奖青年发明家奖第一名，所以它应该是摘自于报纸的人物栏目。故选A。 C: 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. D 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是今年夏天，维尔纽斯郊区的一家前邮局的一堵墙被拆掉时发现了18封很久以前发出的信，邮局工作人员很负责任地花了数月时间寻找合适的收信人。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前“A letter written to a 12-year-old girl in Lithuania was delivered in December, almost 51 years after it was sent by a pen pal in Poland.（一封写给立陶宛一名12岁女孩的信于去年12月才送达，但距波兰笔友寄出这封信的时间已经近51年了。）”可知，立陶宛的女孩收到了51年前寄给她的信，由此推知当她收到信时，她难以相信，甚至可能觉得有人捉弄她，结合选项和女孩的话“I thought that someone was pranking me,”可推知，划线词pranking的意思是“欺骗”，即Tricking，故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“The letter, together with 17 others, fell out of a ventilation hole (通风口) this summer, dirty and wrinkled, as a wall was taken down in a former post office on the suburb of Vilnius.（今年夏天，维尔纽斯郊区一家前邮局的一堵墙被推倒，这封信连同另外17封信从通风孔里掉了出来，既脏又皱。）”可知，那些信是偶然发现的，故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Street names and their numbering have changed in Vilnius, and post office workers spent months looking for the right houses and talking to current renters and neighbors, tracking down where the recipients moved to.（维尔纽斯的街道名称和编号都发生了变化，邮局工作人员花了数月时间寻找合适的房屋，并与当前的租客和邻居交谈，追踪收件人搬到了哪里。）”及第四段的“We felt a moral duty to do this（我们觉得这样做是一种道义上的责任）”可推知，邮局费劲地寻找收信人，说明邮局是尽职的，即Dutiful，故选B。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段Klonovska的话“So good that the letter didn’t matter much. The loss was not life-changing（好在这封信无关紧要。损失并没有改变生活）”可知，那封未送达的信对Klonovska没有什么影响。故选D。 D 【答案】32．D 33．A 34．B 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。Seoyoung发明了一种可以帮助盲人绕过障碍物的新设备。 32．细节理解题。根据第一段“While doing homework, Seoyoung Jun closed one eye and successfully picked up her pencil holder. She realized that directing herself in a 3D space didn’t require both eyes. This surprised her so much that she did some research. And she learned the brain can process 3D information with poor vision (视力) or even without any vision. Then the idea for Mind Beacon was born.(在做作业时，徐英全闭上一只眼睛，成功地拿起了铅笔架。她意识到在3D空间中指导自己并不需要两只眼睛。这让她非常惊讶，于是她做了一些研究。她还了解到，即使视力不好，甚至没有视力，大脑也能处理3D信息。于是，Mind Beacon的想法诞生了)”可知，Seoyoung仅用一只眼睛就能成功地拿起笔筒，这启发她发明出了Mind Beacon。故选D项。 33．推理判断题。根据第二段“It uses a thin line of light to gather 3D in- formation about the placement of walls, furniture and other things. Then the light sends that information back to Mind Beacon,which then raises little pins (大头针) to show where those obstacles (障碍物) are. Then blind people can “read” the position of those pins to understand the positions of structures and objects ahead and walk around them.(它使用一条细细的光线来收集关于墙壁、家具和其他东西的位置的3D信息。然后，光将这些信息传回Mind Beacon，然后Mind Beacon会竖起小大头针来显示这些障碍物的位置。然后盲人就可以“读懂”这些大头针的位置，从而了解前方建筑物和物体的位置，并绕着它们走)”可知，Mind Beacon通过让盲人提前知道障碍物的位置来给他们提供帮助。故选A项。 34．主旨大意题。根据第四段“The heart of Mind Beacon is a 3D depth sensor that’s connected to a computer. That computer can control motors that are lined up in three rows of three. Each motor controls a pin that can move up and down. When the sensor finds an obstacle, the pin rises. It can rise to three different heights. Each height roughly represents the height of the obstacle. Someone who runs their hand over the nine pins can tell where the obstacle is and its general height.(Mind Beacon的核心是一个3D深度传感器，与电脑相连。那台电脑可以控制排成三排的马达，每排三个。每个电机控制一个可以上下移动的引脚。当传感器发现障碍物时，引脚就会上升。它可以升到三种不同的高度。每个高度大致代表障碍物的高度。用手摸过9个木瓶的人就能说出障碍物的位置和大致高度)”可知，本段详细介绍了Mind Beacon的工作过程。故选B项。 35．词句猜测题。根据后文“She imagines in the future it can be connected to a smartphone, with more little pins to show the exact height of the obstacle. It would feel like a little map showing the location and size of the obstacle ahead.(她设想未来它可以连接到智能手机上，用更多的小针显示障碍物的确切高度。它就像一张小地图，显示前方障碍的位置和大小)”可知，Seoyoung 想改进她的发明，推知ameliorate为“改进”之意，和C项意思相近。故选C项。 第二节 七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了让一段英语对话能继续下去的几种做法。 36. C 空前一句提出问题：如何继续一段英语对话？下文列举了一些做法。C项“你可以尝试以下几种方法”承上启下，符合语境。故选C。 37. G 空后是由“Where”、“What”和“How”开头引导的疑问句，与G项中的“where”，“what”，“why”，“how”相呼应。故选G。 38. A 空后列举的回答在内容上比空前列举的回答更为充实。A项“或者，你可以多说一些”与下文衔接紧密，符合语境。故选A。 39. B 通读该段内容可知，本段主要介绍了要大胆地使用英语和别人交流并勤加练习。B项“要勇敢并勤加练习”，统领全段，符合语境。故选B。 40. E 空前指出要大胆地与某个看起来比较空闲的人进行交谈。E项“然后，你可能就交到了一个新朋友”与上文衔接紧密，符合语境。故选E。 第三部分 语言知识运用 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分满分15分） 【答案】41. D 42. B 43. A 44. C 45. A 46. D 47. D 48. B 49. D 50. A 51. C 52. A 53. C 54. A 55.

B The European Patent Office (EPO) on 4th July 2023 announced that Maasai inventor, Richard Turere, won first place in the Young Inventor Prize at the European Inventor Award 2023. Turere invented the Lion Lights system at age 11. As a young Maasai boy, Turere was entrusted with the vital responsibility of protecting his family’s cattle from predators (捕食者). He recognized the need for a solution to prevent lions and other predators from attacking livestock (牲畜), which led him to develop the innovative light system that has since gained global recognition. Lion population in Africa is estimated to have declined by 43% in the past 20 years. Many lions are killed to stop them from eating precious livestock, significantly impacting the lion population, the area’s biodiversity and tourism. Known as Lion Lights, Turere’s invention is based on a simple concept: visually reproducing the human presence that keeps lions away. With changing sequences (序列) of flashing lights which are fixed on fences, the lions can hot become comfortable with the patters and are discouraged from hunting livestock. As word of Turere’s technology and its success spread, other community members began requesting the system for their properties, and now over 2, 000 homes in Kenya use Lion Lights. The system typically runs on solar energy but can also be coupled with wind power when the weather is cloudy or there is little sun. In 2013, Turere founded the Lion Lights organization, which now cooperates with more than 50 young people in his native village. Turere’s commitment and resourcefulness have attracted international attention. His invention has been adopted in several other countries. “I want this story to inspire the young kids so that they too can do something. Anyone can make it. Anyone can change this world”, says Turere. 24. Why Turere invented Lion Lights? A. To win an award. B. To protect livestock. C. To maintain lion population. D. To shoulder family responsibility. 25. How does the Lion Lights system work? A. It controls electric fences to trap lions. B. It operates on a single energy source. C. It patterns the human existence using lights. D. It uses strong flashing lights to scare lions away. 26. Which of the following best describes Turere? A. Creative and devoted. B. Intelligent and generous. C. Brave and disciplined D. Ambitious and outgoing. 27. In which column can the text be found in a newspaper? A. People. B. Entertainment. C. Environment. D. Politics. C A letter written to a 12-year-old girl in Lithuania was delivered in December, almost 51 years after it was sent by a pen pal in Poland. “I thought that someone was pranking me,” said Genovefa Klonovska after being handed the letter, which included a handmade colored rose and two paper dolls. The letter, together with 17 others, fell out of a ventilation hole (通风口) this summer, dirty and wrinkled, as a wall was taken down in a former post office on the suburb of Vilnius. Jurgis Vilnius, owner of the building immediately called the post office. “I’m so happy they got interested,” said he. Street names and their numbering have changed in Vilnius, and post office workers spent months looking for the right houses and talking to current renters and neighbors, tracking down where the recipients moved to. Only five were found. In several cases children of late recipients were handed a lost letter. “We felt a moral duty to do this,” said Deimante Zebrauskaite, head of the customer experience department at Lithuania Post. One lady compared the experience to receiving a message from a bottle thrown into sea. People were emotional. “Some felt they saw a part of daily life of their deceased parents,” Zebrauskaite said. In the letter to Klonovska, sent from Koezary in Poland and stamped in 1970, a girl named Ewa complains buses no longer reach her village, so she has to walk in minus 23 degree Celsius cold, and asks for pictures of actors. Now in her 60s, Klonovska has no memory of Ewa. She probably wrote Ewa after finding her address advertising for pen pals in a newspaper, and the relationship ceased after the letter got undelivered. “So good that the letter didn't matter much. The loss was not life-changing,” said Klonovska “What if they delivered a lost letter from a suitor (求婚者) to his love, and their wedding never happened?” 28. What does the underlined word “pranking” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Brightening. B. Embarrassing. C. Tricking. D. Pleasing. 29. What happened to the letters in Paragraph 2? A. They were accidentally found. B. They remained well-preserved. C. They were delivered by the former post office. D. They were hidden by the owner of the building. 30. Which of the following best describes the present post office in Vilnius? A. Generous. B. Dutiful. C. Honest. D. Cautious. 31. What can we learn from what Klonovska said? A. Klonovska refused a suitor. B. Klonovska stopped the wedding. C. The undelivered letter ruined the relationship. D. The undelivered letter made little difference to her. D While doing homework, Seoyoung Jun closed one eye and successfully picked up her pencil holder. She realized that directing herself in a 3D space didn’t require both eyes. This surprised her so much that she did some research. And she learned the brain can process 3D information with poor vision (视力) or even without any vision. Then the idea for Mind Beacon was born. It uses a thin line of light to gather 3D information about the placement of walls, furniture and other things. Then the light sends that information back to Mind Beacon,which then raises little pins (大头针) to show where those obstacles (障碍物) are. Then blind people can “read” the position of those pins to understand the positions of structures and objects ahead and walk around them. When the invention worked for the first time, Seoyoung didn’t believe it. She’d been up all night working on it. To be sure there wasn’t a mistake, she shut it off and started it up. It had been seven long months of research and testing. Now this tool can help disabled people create a mental image of their surroundings. The heart of Mind Beacon is a 3D depth sensor that’s connected to a computer. That computer can control motors that are lined up in three rows of three. Each motor controls a pin that can move up and down. When the sensor finds an obstacle, the pin rises. It can rise to three different heights. Each height roughly represents the height of the obstacle. Someone who runs their hand over the nine pins can tell where the obstacle is and its general height. Mind Beacon won Seoyoung a place at the world’s high school research competition, Right now, she wants to ameliorate it. She imagines in the future it can be connected to a smartphone, with more little pins to show the exact height of the obstacle. It would feel like a little map showing the location and size of the obstacle ahead. 32. What inspired Seoyoung to invent Mind Beacon? A. The desire to win a competition. B. The blind’s good sense of touch. C. Her wish to bring convenience to the disabled. D. Her ability to locate an object without full vision. 33. How does Mind Beacon help the blind? A. By informing them of the obstacles in advance. B. By teaching them to describe dangerous objects. C. By making them have easy access to the Internet. D. By training them to remember maps of their living areas. 34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The limitations of Mind Beacon pins. B. The working process of Mind Beacon. C. The role of computers in Mind Beacon. D. The effect of Mind Beacon on the blind. 35. What does the underlined word “ameliorate” probably mean? A．Keep. B．Spread C．Improve. D．Control. 第二节 七选五（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It is not always easy to keep a conversation going in English. You might not be sure about what to say. Or maybe you are afraid that your pronunciation is not good. So how can we continue a conversation in English? 36 Listen and follow up First, remember the importance of listening. Listen to the other person attentively, so that you can ask a follow-up question. For example, let’s say the other person tells you, “I just got back from a trip to Canada.” 37 Where did you go in Canada? What was your favorite place there? How was the food there? Avoid simple “yes” or “no” questions If you want to keep a conversation going, it’s a good idea to ask questions that cannot be answered with a simple “yes” or “no”. If the other person asks you a “yes” or “no” question, try to give a longer answer to help keep the conversation going. For example, a friend might ask, “Hey, have you seen the new Star Wars movie?” You could just answer, “No, I haven’t.” 38 You could answer: “No, but I plan to see it soon. How about you?” 39 Do not worry about your pronunciation. If your pronunciation is a little different, the other person will still understand your message if you try speaking slowly and clearly. When you are traveling in an English-speaking country and have some free time, be brave and speak in English with someone who does not look too busy. 40 A. Or, you could say more. B. Be brave and practice often. C. You can try the following ways. D. Why did you choose the destination? E. Then you may make a new friend. F. Correct your pronunciation if possible. G. You can continue with a question using where, what, why, or how. 第三部分 语言知识运用 第一节 完形填空（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。 Recently, I have been struggling to connect with my dad because our conversations have seemed unimportant to him.

It was just two days away. Birthdays were always a lot of fun, even though there was no money for store-bought gifts. Nearly all of toys he and his sister had were homemade. There was nothing wrong with that, he knew. Like many families in this part, they were poor. This birthday would be different, though. Alice was older now, and he’d seen how her eyes lit up when she saw the new doll at Honey House, a neighborhood store just down the road from their house. How he longed for her to have it! An idea finally came to him just before he went to bed. After a quick breakfast the following morning, he tied a bag to the handlebars of his bike and headed toward a village hill. After a long journey, he reached his destination, the mango芒果 forest. There were already two other boys there. Tony grabbed his bag and set to work immediately. The sun was high overhead. The weather was hot and nearly all of the taller trees held ripe mangoes but they were well beyond reach. Tony struggled to climb the trees to pick mangoes, though he fell off many times. His efforts were sometimes rewarded when a mango dropped into the bag. After a while his neck ached from looking upward, and his arms grew sore. He kept at it, though, and by late afternoon his bag was nearly full. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右。 2. 续写部分分两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: Tony rushed back to Honey House, out of breath, only to find the owner of the store was going to close the door.________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The following morning, Alice walked into the kitchen and took a seat at the breakfast table.________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ 2024-2025学年第一学期高二英语期中考试题 第 页 10 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
