高一上学期期末考点大串讲（上海） 专题06 新闻报道+记叙文；10篇 （原题版） 01 【来源】上海市奉贤区2023-2024学年高一上学期期末调研考试英语试卷 It keeps what’s inside a mystery until you open it. There are usually toys in mystery boxes; but now, food has been added to the list. Recently, the trend of “leftover mystery boxes” has become popular in many Chinese cities such as Beijing, Nanjing and Chengdu. Stores pack boxes full of unsold food or food nearing its expiration date at low prices. “We make the leftover mystery boxes available to buy at the end of the day,” Wu Tian, a staff member at a convenience chain store in Beijing, told China Daily. The food, such as milk, bread and sandwiches, is sold at about half the original price and is usually sold out quickly. Many bakeries have also joined the “mystery box club”. Due to their low price, leftover mystery boxes “are very promising as a new business mode” and can attract more consumers, Hong Yong, an expert at the Ministry of Commerce, told China Daily. “In addition, they follow the concept of zero-waste and environmental protection.” In 2021, the total amount of food waste in China reached 160 million tons, with an average of 93 grams per meal per person, China Food Newspaper reported. Since the passage of China’s Anti-Food Waste Law in April 2021, people’s awareness of food waste reduction has increased. Leftover mystery boxes can be an effective way for people to deal with food waste. However, some people have raised food security concerns. If consumers buy a food mystery box for their breakfast the next morning, even if the food looks fine at the moment, it may have gone bad overnight. Moreover, food made in the store, such as bread, isn’t labeled with the production date in many cases, according to China Consumer News. If a consumer unpacks a mystery box and discovers that the food tastes bad or has already passed the last date, then it will be difficult for them to protect their rights, such as getting money back. Only by considering both food safety and consumer rights can mystery blind boxes achieve a win-win situation for both buyers and sellers, commented China Youth Daily. 1．What leads to the rise of the trend of “leftover mystery boxes”? A．Stores make the leftover mystery boxes available at night. B．People feel like such food as milk and bread more attractive. C．It offers customers lower prices for those unsold food. D．It goes against the concept of zero-waste and environmental protection. 2．The underlined word “expiration” in the 2nd paragraph is closest in meaning to . A．ending B．producing C．purchasing D．selling 3．Why are some people worried about customers buying a food mystery box? A．Because the food has gone bad when it’s bought. B．Because customers’ rights are hard to protect. C．Because the production dates are not clear enough. D．Because customers cannot get a refund in many cases. 4．What’s the most suitable title for this passage? A．Concerns Over Food Security B．Mystery Boxes of Leftover C．A Solution to Food Waste D．A Win-win Situation 02 【来源】上海市嘉定一中2023-2024学年高一上学期期末英语试题 John Banville has received three major literary prizes. In 2005 he won the Man Booker Prize for his novel The Sea (his 14th book). He has been proposed repeatedly as a candidate (候选人) for the Nobel Prize in Literature. The writer had been resting on his couch when he received a call from a man half an hour before the true winners would be revealed at an awarding ceremony on Thursday. The man on the phone claimed to be Mats Malm, the secretary of the Nobel Prize Committee and he told Banville he would be awarded the prize of this year. And then he also read Banville a formal statement of the achievements he would print about the writer’s work. “He was so convincing that I rang everybody I could think of to tell them about this good news.” Banville recalled. But 40 minutes later Banville received a phone call from his daughter who had seen the live announcement. She told her father, “It’s not you!” “I realized then that it must have been a hoax. I rang everybody again and said, ‘Don’t buy the champagne and stop throwing your hats in the air!’” said Banville. A voicemail left on Banville’s phone shortly after the announcement explained that there had been a last-minute disagreement among decision-makers. But, after a close listen to the message, Banville noticed that voice was “deeper” than that of the real Mats Malm and lacked the same “smooth” grasp of English. He has since shared the message with the Swedish Academy to investigate the incident. 5．The underlined word “hoax” in the last paragraph probably means_______. A．trick B．game C．event D．joke 6．John Banville assumed that the news was true at first because _______. A．many people considered John Banville was a talented and productive writer B．he has been proposed repeatedly as a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature C．the man who called claimed to be the secretary and sounded very convincing D．the so called secretary called half an hour before the awarding ceremony 7．How did Banville possibly feel when he received the second call? A．suspicious and worried B．shocked and disappointed C．sad and ashamed D．angry and guilty 8．We can learn from the passage that _______. A．who was responsible for the hoax will soon be revealed B．the Nobel Prize Committee planned the incident behind the scenes C．the voicemail left on Banville’s phone was probably a cheat D．John Banville will one day be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature 03 【来源】上海市建平中学2023-2024学年高一期末检测英语试题 The train was at a standstill, some twenty minutes outside Kolkata, when an unexpected stroke of luck presented Piya with an opportunity to go for a seat beside a window for some fresh air. She had been sitting in the stuffiest part of the train compartment, on the edge of a bench: now, moving to the open window, she saw that the train had stopped at a station called Champahati. Looking over her shoulder, Piya spotted a tea-seller on the platform. Reaching through the bars of the window, she called him with a wave. She had never cared for the kind of chai, Indian tea, sold in Seattle, her hometown in the USA, but somehow, in the ten days she had spent in India she had developed an unexpected taste for milky, overboiled tea served in earthenware cups. There were no spices in it for one thing, and this was more to her taste than the chai at home. She paid for her tea and was trying to get in the cup through the bars when the man in the seat opposite her own suddenly turned over a page, jolting her hand. She turned her wrist quickly enough to make sure that most of the tea spilled out of the window, but she could not prevent some from spilling over his papers. “Oh, I’m so sorry!” Piya was very embarrassed: of everyone in the compartment, this was the last person she would have chosen to injure with her tea. She had noticed him while waiting on the platform in Kolkata and she had been struck by the self-satisfied tilt of his head and the way in which he stared at everyone around him, taking them in, sizing them up, sorting them all into their places. “Here,” said Piya, producing a handful of tissues. “Let me help you clean up.” “There’s nothing to be done,” he said testily (暴躁地). “These pages are ruined anyway.” For a moment she considered pointing out that it was he who had knocked her hand. But all she could bring herself to say was, “I’m very sorry. I hope you’ll excuse me.” “Do I really have a choice?” he said. “Does anyone have a choice when they’re dealing with Americans these days?” Piya had no wish to get into an argument so she let this pass. Instead, she opened her eyes wide and, in an attempt to restore peace, came out with, “But how did you guess?” “About what?” “About my being American? You’re very observant.” This seemed to do the trick. His shoulders relaxed as he leaned back in his seat. “I didn’t guess,” he said. “I knew.” 9．In the first paragraph, Piya was relieved when she got a window seat because it meant that_________. A．there was more room for her luggage B．she no longer had to suffer from a lack of air C．there was less chance that she would miss her stop D．she didn’t have to stand for the rest of the train journey 10．Piya found that the tea or chai she had drunk in India ________. A．was disappointingly weak in taste B．reminded her of her home in Seattle C．would have tasted better if served fresh D．was preferable to the chai she had had before 11．When Piya first saw the man she thought that ________. A．he was someone who was observant of surroundings B．he seemed to think he was better than other people C．he had tried to keep his distance from his fellow passengers D．he had been looking for someone he knew on the station platform 12．Piya asked “But how did you guess?” in order to _________. A．find out what the man really thought about Americans B．try to calm the situation down by starting a conversation C．ensure the man realized that she had apologized D．make sure the man knew he was being rude 04 【来源】上海交大附中嘉定分校2023-2024学年 高一上期末英语考试 In the heart of the war-torn city, where buildings stood like wounded soldiers, Emma waited inline for her weekly ration. The line moved slowly, a somber procession of gaunt (瘦削憔悴的) faces and threadbare coats. When her turn came, the ration officer handed her the allotted food with a detached efficiency. “Two loaves, half a pound of sugar, and a tin of powdered milk,” he recited. The portions seemed to shrink each week, mirroring the dwindling hope in people’s hearts. Clutching her meager supplies, Emma hurried through the bombed-out streets, dodging craters and debris. The city, once vibrant and bustling, now lay in a hushed surrender to scarcity and fear. At home, her family’s small garden offered a sharp contrast to the desolation around. Here, amidst the rows of struggling vegetables, her father toiled. “Dad, let me help,” Emma offered, taking the shovel from his weary hands. Together, they dug into the earth, creating a hidden cache for extra food. It was a secret they guarded fiercely, knowing that in times of shortage, even neighbors could turn against each other out of desperation. As they worked, Emma’s mind wandered to the days before the war, when food was abundant and their garden was a source of joy, not just survival. She remembered her mother’s cooking, the aromas that filled their kitchen, the laughter that accompanied their meals. Now, each bite of their bland rations was a reminder of what had been lost. In the evenings, the family gathered around a small table, sharing their rationed food. Conversation flowed, weaving tales of better times, igniting sparks of hope. Emma’s younger brother, Tom, would often ask, “When will we have chocolate again?” It was a question loaded with longing, not just for the sweetness of chocolate but for the return of normalcy. Despite the hardship, they found reasons to smile. Emma’s father would recount stories from his youth, tales of adventure that seemed like fairy tales in their grim surroundings. Her mother would hum old tunes, filling their home with a semblance of warmth and normalcy. As winter deepened, the rations grew scarcer, and the hidden cache in the garden became their lifeline. Each day, Emma and her father would check the hole, ensuring their precious supplies were safe. The hole, a mere cavity in the ground, symbolized their resilience, a refusal to succumb to despair. 13．How did the amount of weekly rations appear to change each week? A．Significantly increased B．Dramatically decreased C．Remained the same D．Decreased each week 14．What does the term “hidden cache” in the third paragraph refer to in the article? A．A treasure map B．A buried capsule C．A secret food storage spot D．A mysterious box 15．How does the family’s gathering around the table for meals illustrate the impact of war on their lives? A．Abundant food showshow the war has unexpectedly brought prosperity to their family. B．The family’s conversations about a war-free future reflect their enduring hope. C．Meals at the table are silent and rushed, highlighting their fear and anxiety. D．The table becomes a place of conflict where family members argue over limited food. 16．Tom’s longing for chocolate is symbolic in the story. What does this longing represent? A．It’s a simple craving for a treat, unrelated to the broader themes of the story. B．The desire for chocolate symbolizes a yearning for the comforts of life before the war. C．His wish for chocolate indicates his dislike for the food rationing and nothing more. D．It is a secret code used by the family to communicate about their hidden food. 05 【来源】上海市上海中学2023-2024学年高一上学期期末考试英语试题 “It’s a windy day in Laguna San Ignacio, and the waves seem to come from all directions,” said Sara Clemence in Bloomberg Businessweek. My children and I are riding on an 18-foot boat — small enough that we can reach down into the water if a gray whale swims up alongside. And then we see what we’ve come for: a heart-shaped shower of water and a dark mass rushing below it. As instructed, we splash (溅泼) the water strongly to signal the huge whale, which turns out to be a mother with her weeks-old baby. The baby soon swims beneath our boat, emerges to blow mist in my face, then “lies onto its side like a 2-ton puppy.” Leaning down, I touched its skin gently. “It feels electric. Also, a bit like petting a hard-boiled egg.” San Ignacio is one of very few places where a person can pet a whale. The whales come each year to the coast of Baja California to give birth and to mate. If you’re lucky, you can “shake hands with a leathery fin (鳍)” or even “plant a kiss on a cold, salty cheek.” I usually worry about such interactions, because wild creatures can become deeply stressed by human contact. But boat numbers are strictly limited in these protected waters. And any whale that approaches a boat does so on its own terms. Like that baby whale: “We see him a few times, and he seems to like being petted and splashed.” So we are two species, connecting through touch, but also through eye contact: “More than once, after nosing around our boat, a young gray whale turns on its side so one dark, baseball-size eye is looking up at us.” Whalers used to call gray whales “devil fish” because these magnificent creatures turn violent when threatened — “or, say, when their babies are harmed.” That makes it feel even more of a blessing when, on our third day there, a large mama whale approaches the boat. “I’m splashing when I feel her nose press up into my hand.” Though she’s “wiser and apparently more alert” than her child, “she still decides to trust us.” 17．According to the passage, people can NOT interact with a whale by ________. A．splashing water to it B．gently touching its skin C．swimming alongside it D．looking at it in the eye 18．The underlined phrase in paragraph 2 means that the whale ________. A．is mad with too many visitors B．is willing to be petted by people on the boat C．can interact with people based on its likes D．can decide its preferred swimming route 19．Why does the author consider it “a blessing” when a large mama whale approaches the boat? A．Because she is smarter than her child and better at interacting with people. B．Because she believes in people and will not turn violent if her baby is harmed. C．Because a whale as large as this one is rare to see. D．Because she trusts people despite her concerns about her child’s safety. 20．What is the best title for this passage? A．Preserving the Devil Fish in Laguna San Ignacio B．A Beautiful Encounter with Gray Whales C．A Risky but Exciting Whale-Watching Journey D．Appropriate Ways to Interact with Gray Whales 06 【来源】上海市奉贤区2023-2024学年高一上学期期末调研考试英语试卷 I've just done my first jump since the accident that nearly killed me just a year ago. As I was lying in hospital, thinking that I would never skydive again, I wasn't feeling glad to be alive. Instead, I was wondering how I could possibly live without it. It all started one evening after another nine-to-five day. I was sitting at home thinking, “There has to be more to life than this,” when an advertisement came on the television, “Try skydiving!” The next day, I called the nearest skydiving center and booked my first jump. I will never forget my first jump. It was a beautiful, cloudless day and the sun was just going down. As I pushed myself away from the plane at 11,000 feet, my mind went blank. Words cannot describe the excitement I experienced while I was free-falling. That was the most amazing four minutes of my life. From the first jump, I was hooked. I started spending every free moment I had skydiving. At work, I sat in front of my computer and imagined ways of making more money so that I could jump more often. The accident happened on my 1,040th jump. Another skydiver hit my parachute(降落伞) at 80 feet. I fell and hit the ground at about 30 mph, face down. I broke my legs, my right arm and my nose. I lost 6 liters of blood, 19 teeth and 25 pounds of fat. I was lucky to be alive. People who have never experienced skydiving will find it hard to understand that my only reason to get better was that I could do it again. All I can say is that for me, skydiving is life and life is skydiving. 21．The writer began skydiving because . A．he wanted to find something more meaningful than just work B．he was persuaded by the local skydiving club to have a try C．he made a promise he would go on with it D．he didn't realize what serious injury it might end in 22．What can we learn about the writer's first skydiving from the passage?

A．The writer spent almost every nine-to-five day skydiving. B．The writer worked hard to make more money for skydiving. C．The writer imagined himself skydiving while at the hospital. D．The writer expected to recover only to continue skydiving. 07 【来源】上海市闵行区2023-2024学年高一上学期期末质量调研英语试卷 Clementine seemed to be missing apiece from her life’s puzzle for most of her life. Dropped off as a 3-year-old homeless dog near New Orleans, the dog stayed in the shelter for four months before being moved to Texas. While living at an adoption center in Texas, the dog was adopted out twice to different families. Sadly, neither of those adoptions were successful. It turned out Clementine didn’t get along with smaller pets, and she had too much energy for the second family. Meanwhile, Captain Robert Moree wanted to add a fire dog to the station. He’d just read a study about how dogs help firefighter scope with the pressure of their jobs, and he was eager to give the study a real life trial run! With the permission of the chief and other firefighters, he and a few colleagues visited the shelter. As soon as they met Clementine, they were smitten! “They introduced us to Clementine,” Captain Moree recalled. “She started to like us, and we liked her instantly. Later that day, my driver, Bryan Wallen, and I decided to get her.” Captain Moree officially adopted Clementine, but she definitely belonged to every person in the firehouse. She loved to hug the firefighters in between calls, and she was always nearby whenever anyone was preparing food. “She rides on the truck when we go out on calls” said Captain Moree. “She not only makes the station feel more like home during our 24-hour shifts but also keeps us excited to come to the station.” Clementine has made such an amazing journey from a homeless dog to a hero dog. She was named Dog of the Year at the 2022 ASPCA Humane Awards! 25．Why did Clementine fail to stay in the second family? A．She liked fire. B．She was too active. C．She ate too much.

B．Guard the firehouse. C．Stay excited day and night D．Reduce stress of firefighters. 28．What can be inferred about Clementine from the last two paragraphs? A．She risked her life as a fire dog. B．She has got many important awards. C．She did an excellent job as a fire dog. D．She remained homeless in her whole life. 08 【来源】上海市徐汇区2023-2024学年高一上学期期末质量调研英语试卷 When I first moved away from home to study, I started out living in student housing. We all had our own rooms, but every floor shared a kitchen and a common room. There was no supervision from family members, and we were expected to take care of ourselves. I had a neighbor who had, like most of us, just moved away from home. It was his first time on his own, and he felt unhappy. We had to teach this poor boy EVERYTHING. It started with the mystery of why the plates in the cupboard were always greasy (有油渍的). It turned out that the boy didn’t know he had to use hot water to wash the dishes; he just washed them in cold water and put them back. He spent the first six months complaining about how he was always running out of money. This was because he didn’t know how to cook. The rest of us lived on the usual student diet and treated ourselves to a pizza on weekends. However, he got fast food every single day. I could feed myself for a month on his weekly meal budget. Moreover, he had no idea how to wash clothes with a washing machine. I had to take him shopping for laundry detergent (洗衣粉) first because he didn’t know what it was. He thought he could just put ordinary soap in the washing machine. To his credit, the boy was very grateful for the help and very depressed that no one had taught him how to do all these things before he moved out. One day, the boy’s mother came to visit. He happily introduced all of us to his mother. After we graduated, I was invited to his wedding. He introduced me to his new wife as “the one who taught me how to be a man”. 29．What does the underlined word “supervision” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Difference. B．Guidance. C．Escape. D．Hope. 30．What can we learn about the boy? A．He lacked common sense in housework. B．He got married to the author. C．He always washed dishes in hot water. D．He didn’t get along well with his mother. 31．Why did the boy always have money problems? A．He often cooked expensive meals. B．He bought himself a pizza every month. C．He treated his neighbors on weekends. D．He didn’t know how to spend reasonably. 32．Which word best describes the relationship between the boy and the author? A．Worrying. B．Poor. C．Close. D．Disappointing. 09 【来源】上海市华东师范大学第二附属中学2023-2024学年高一上学期期末考试英语试题 An excerpt from Shoes Were for Sunday by Molly Weir One of the phrases which greatly puzzled me was “entertaining angels unaware”. How could anybody be unaware of entertaining an angel, I thought? It never occurred to me that angelic qualities could hide under very ordinary voices and in everyday bodies. My angel, as it turned out, hid inside the little figure of my school-teacher, Miss McKenzie. To me she was always a little old lady, with her grey hair framing a round rosy face and caught up in an old-fashioned bun (发髻) on top of her head. Although I enjoyed Miss McKenzie’s approval, I never really felt very close to her. It never dawned on me to ask her advice as to what I should do when I left school. Surely there was only one thing to do:get a job and earn money as quickly as possible. But Miss McKenzie had other ideas. We in our house knew nothing of scholarships for fatherless children. The idea of a child from a working-class household going to college was the very stuff of story-books. Unknown to us, she forced the headmaster to put my name forward for a special scholarship open to children who showed some promise, and who would benefit from further education. He agreed, although he was a bit worried about the expense of keeping me at college for a whole year. No earnings from me, and fares and clothes to be covered, for, of course, only the fees would be paid if I won. Miss McKenzie brushed all argument aside. To this day I can remember my complete astonishment when, on being asked if she felt I had any particular qualities, this elderly teacher banged the desk with her fist, and declared in an American idiom I never suspected she knew, ‘I’d stake my bottom dollar on this girl!’ I trembled at the passion in her voice, and at her faith in me. “What if I fail her?” I gasped to myself. “What if she has to pay all the money back if I let her down?” I knew we hadn’t a spare dollar to repay anybody, and I was sick with a sense of responsibility in case I messed up. The time at college went by quickly. At the end of my year at college I was able to lay before her the college gold medal as the year’s top student and a whole pile of certificates. And suddenly as I gazed at her, and saw her eyes shining with pride behind the gold-rimmed glasses, I realized how widely she had thrown open the door of opportunity for me. And I knew for the first time what the phrase “entertaining angels unaware” meant. For there, standing before me in class, was my very own angel, Miss McKenzie. 33．The author’s description of Miss McKenzie in paragraphs 2 and 5 aims to ______. A．explain why she always kept a safe distance from Miss McKenzie B．contrast the inner qualities of McKenzie with her humble appearance C．emphasize that she and Miss McKenzie both came from an ordinary family D．illustrate the influence of the strong faith Miss McKenzie had in her 34．It can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 that ______. A．it is unlikely for children from an ordinary family to further their study in college B．going to university can help those from working-class climb up the social ladder C．those who can only read stories do not meet the minimum requirement of college D．the author had the idea of going to college because she was inspired by some stories 35．In Paragraph 6, the author felt ______ when she heard Miss McKenzie’s passionate voice. A．shocked and encouraged B．embarrassed and reluctant C．uncertain and stressed D．worried and purposeful 36．The author’s main purpose of writing this passage is to ______. A．recall her schooldays and her past achievements B．express her gratitude to one of her school teachers C．stress the importance of equal access to education D．encourage readers to find the angels around them 10 【来源】上海市闵行区2023-2024学年高一上学期期末区统考英语试卷 When I was about 12 years old, my older brother, James, smuggled (偷运) a BB gun into the house. Our parents had told us many times that we were not allowed to bring home guns or knives, even if they were just toys. Having any form of weaponry (兵器) in our home was strictly forbidden. James brought me to his room. He opened his closet door and took out a shoebox that was buried beneath a heap of clothes. The BB gun was inside. I was immediately attracted by the shiny barrel (枪管). “Can I shoot it, James?” I asked, hopefully. “No way,” James said, taking it from me and putting it back. One day, when no one was home, I went into James’ closet and took it out. For some incomprehensible reason — I have no idea what I was thinking — I went to the front window of the second floor in our row house. I cracked the window open. I pointed the gun outside and shot. I quickly shut the window and looked outside secretly. In a matter of seconds, old Mr. Schlosberg came out of his grocery store. He looked back at his store window. He looked up the street. He looked down the street. Then he looked straight across to our house. Thankfully, James made it home before Mother or Father. As he stepped through the door, I could hear old Mr. Schlosberg call his name. “James, James,” he called. “Come here, son.” After several minutes, James ran back across the street and into the living room. I had retreated into the kitchen. “Alma!” he screamed. “Get out here! You cracked Mr. Schlosberg’s window with my BB gun!” “Oh, please, James,” I begged. “Don’t let him tell Mother. She will hit my bottom real good!” James sighed. He wiped my tears and went back across the street to Mr. Schlosberg’s. I don’t know what James said to that man, but there was never a mention of the incident again. Years later, I found out James had used the money he got from his newspaper route to pay for Mr. Schlosberg’s cracked window. He only got one cent for every paper he delivered. He managed to pay back the debt just before he went off to fight in World War Ⅱ. Since that day, I have never touched a gun: a BB gun, a water gun, a real gun, or any other type. 37．Why was the gun hidden in the closet? A．The gun was too expensive. B．The family had only one gun. C．The law didn’t allow anyone to have a gun. D．The parents didn’t allow a gun to appear at home. 38．The word “retreated” in the middle of the passage is closest in meaning to “_____”. A．rushed happily B．moved excitedly C．wandered unhurriedly D．escaped quietly 39．What did Alma expect from James after he shot Mr. Schlosberg’s window? A．To deal with the problem. B．To talk with his parents. C．To throw away the gun. D．To tell the truth. 40．Which of the following best describes James as a brother? A．Responsible and strict. B．Brave and determined. C．Responsible and caring. D．Naughty and determined. 41．The best title of the passage is ______. A．A Warmhearted Brother B．A BB Gun C．A Cracked window D．An Incident 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！5 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高一上学期期末考点大串讲（上海） 专题06 新闻报道+记叙文；10篇 （解析版） 01 【来源】上海市奉贤区2023-2024学年高一上学期期末调研考试英语试卷 It keeps what’s inside a mystery until you open it. There are usually toys in mystery boxes; but now, food has been added to the list. Recently, the trend of “leftover mystery boxes” has become popular in many Chinese cities such as Beijing, Nanjing and Chengdu. Stores pack boxes full of unsold food or food nearing its expiration date at low prices. “We make the leftover mystery boxes available to buy at the end of the day,” Wu Tian, a staff member at a convenience chain store in Beijing, told China Daily. The food, such as milk, bread and sandwiches, is sold at about half the original price and is usually sold out quickly. Many bakeries have also joined the “mystery box club”. Due to their low price, leftover mystery boxes “are very promising as a new business mode” and can attract more consumers, Hong Yong, an expert at the Ministry of Commerce, told China Daily. “In addition, they follow the concept of zero-waste and environmental protection.” In 2021, the total amount of food waste in China reached 160 million tons, with an average of 93 grams per meal per person, China Food Newspaper reported. Since the passage of China’s Anti-Food Waste Law in April 2021, people’s awareness of food waste reduction has increased. Leftover mystery boxes can be an effective way for people to deal with food waste. However, some people have raised food security concerns. If consumers buy a food mystery box for their breakfast the next morning, even if the food looks fine at the moment, it may have gone bad overnight. Moreover, food made in the store, such as bread, isn’t labeled with the production date in many cases, according to China Consumer News. If a consumer unpacks a mystery box and discovers that the food tastes bad or has already passed the last date, then it will be difficult for them to protect their rights, such as getting money back. Only by considering both food safety and consumer rights can mystery blind boxes achieve a win-win situation for both buyers and sellers, commented China Youth Daily. 1．What leads to the rise of the trend of “leftover mystery boxes”? A．Stores make the leftover mystery boxes available at night. B．People feel like such food as milk and bread more attractive. C．It offers customers lower prices for those unsold food. D．It goes against the concept of zero-waste and environmental protection. 2．The underlined word “expiration” in the 2nd paragraph is closest in meaning to . A．ending B．producing C．purchasing D．selling 3．Why are some people worried about customers buying a food mystery box? A．Because the food has gone bad when it’s bought. B．Because customers’ rights are hard to protect. C．Because the production dates are not clear enough. D．Because customers cannot get a refund in many cases. 4．What’s the most suitable title for this passage? A．Concerns Over Food Security B．Mystery Boxes of Leftover C．A Solution to Food Waste D．A Win-win Situation 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了近期在中国一些城市如北京、南京和成都流行起来的“剩菜盲盒”潮流。 1．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Due to their low price, leftover mystery boxes “are very promising as a new business mode” and can attract more consumers, Hong Yong, an expert at the Ministry of Commerce, told China Daily.(商务部专家洪勇在接受《中国日报》采访时表示，由于价格低廉，剩菜盲盒“作为一种新的商业模式非常有前途”，可以吸引更多的消费者)”可知，导致了“剩菜盲盒”风潮的兴起的原因是它以更低的价格提供未售出的食品。故选C项。 2．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Stores pack boxes full of unsold food or food nearing its expiration date at low prices.(商店里装满了未售出的食品或接近expiration期的食品，价格很低)”中“date”和“at low prices”可推知，通常要快过期了的食品会低价出售，所以expiration date是指食品安全终止日期，expiration可理解为ending。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据第六段中“However, some people have raised food security concerns. If consumers buy a food mystery box for their breakfast the next morning, even if the food looks fine at the moment, it may have gone bad overnight. Moreover, food made in the store, such as bread, isn’t labeled with the production date in many cases, according to China Consumer News. If a consumer unpacks a mystery box and discovers that the food tastes bad or has already passed the last date, then it will be difficult for them to protect their rights, such as getting money back.(然而，一些人提出了对食品安全的担忧。如果消费者买了一个“剩菜盲盒”作为第二天的早餐，即使食品此刻看起来很好，也可能一夜之间就变质了。此外，据《中国消费者报》报道，该商店生产的面包等食品在很多情况下都没有标注生产日期。如果消费者打开一个神秘的盒子，发现食物味道不好或已经过期，那么他们就很难保护自己的权益，比如要回钱)”可知，“剩菜盲盒”可能很快就变质或者过期，消费者很难要回钱，由此推知，“剩菜盲盒”很难保证消费者的权益。故选B项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“It keeps what’s inside a mystery until you open it. There are usually toys in mystery boxes; but now, food has been added to the list.(在你打开它之前，里面的东西一直是个谜。通常会有玩具在盲盒里；但现在，食物也加入其中)”和第二段中“Recently, the trend of “leftover mystery boxes” has become popular in many Chinese cities such as Beijing, Nanjing and Chengdu.(最近，在北京、南京、成都等中国许多城市，“剩菜盲盒”的风潮开始流行起来)”可知，本文报道了“剩菜盲盒”的兴起，并分析这一潮流兴起的原因和问题。由此可知，“Mystery Boxes of Leftover(剩菜盲盒)”是文章最佳标题。故选B项。 02 【来源】上海市嘉定一中2023-2024学年高一上学期期末英语试题 John Banville has received three major literary prizes. In 2005 he won the Man Booker Prize for his novel The Sea (his 14th book). He has been proposed repeatedly as a candidate (候选人) for the Nobel Prize in Literature. The writer had been resting on his couch when he received a call from a man half an hour before the true winners would be revealed at an awarding ceremony on Thursday. The man on the phone claimed to be Mats Malm, the secretary of the Nobel Prize Committee and he told Banville he would be awarded the prize of this year. And then he also read Banville a formal statement of the achievements he would print about the writer’s work. “He was so convincing that I rang everybody I could think of to tell them about this good news.” Banville recalled. But 40 minutes later Banville received a phone call from his daughter who had seen the live announcement. She told her father, “It’s not you!” “I realized then that it must have been a hoax. I rang everybody again and said, ‘Don’t buy the champagne and stop throwing your hats in the air!’” said Banville. A voicemail left on Banville’s phone shortly after the announcement explained that there had been a last-minute disagreement among decision-makers. But, after a close listen to the message, Banville noticed that voice was “deeper” than that of the real Mats Malm and lacked the same “smooth” grasp of English. He has since shared the message with the Swedish Academy to investigate the incident. 5．The underlined word “hoax” in the last paragraph probably means_______. A．trick B．game C．event D．joke 6．John Banville assumed that the news was true at first because _______. A．many people considered John Banville was a talented and productive writer B．he has been proposed repeatedly as a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature C．the man who called claimed to be the secretary and sounded very convincing D．the so called secretary called half an hour before the awarding ceremony 7．How did Banville possibly feel when he received the second call? A．suspicious and worried B．shocked and disappointed C．sad and ashamed D．angry and guilty 8．We can learn from the passage that _______. A．who was responsible for the hoax will soon be revealed B．the Nobel Prize Committee planned the incident behind the scenes C．the voicemail left on Banville’s phone was probably a cheat D．John Banville will one day be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature 【答案】5．A 6．C 7．C 8．A 【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要讲述约翰·班维尔被电话通知获得诺贝尔文学奖的乌龙事件。 5．词句猜测题。根据最后一段““I realized then that it must have been a hoax. I rang everybody again and said, “Don’t buy the champagne and stop throwing your hats in the air!” said Banville. (班维尔说：“当时我意识到这一定是个hoax。我再次给大家打电话，说：“别买香槟，别再把帽子扔到空中了！”。)”可知，hoax是名词，说明给他打电话的那个人的行为。根据他又给每个人打电话说不要买香槟庆祝了可以推测，他已经意识到那是个骗局，所以hoax的意思是“骗局”，和选项A意思一致。故选A。 6．细节理解题。根据第二段“The man on the phone claimed to be Mats Malm, the secretary of the Nobel Prize Committee and he told Banville he would be awarded the prize of this year. And then he also read Banville a formal statement of the achievements he would print about the writer’s work. (电话中的男子自称是诺贝尔奖委员会秘书马特斯·马尔姆，他告诉班维尔，他将获得今年的诺贝尔奖。然后，他还向班维尔宣读了一份正式声明，说明他将发表的关于作家作品的成就。)”和第三段““He was so convincing that I rang everybody I could think of to tell them about this good news.” Banville recalled. (班维尔回忆道：“他很有说服力，我给所有我能想到的人打电话，告诉他们这个好消息。”)”可知，班维尔之所以开始的时候相信，是因为那个人自称是诺贝尔奖委员会秘书马特斯·马尔姆并且宣读了一份正式声明，很有说服力。故选C。 7．推理判断题。根据最后一段““I realized then that it must have been a hoax. I rang everybody again and said, ‘Don’t buy the champagne and stop throwing your hats in the air!’” said Banville. (班维尔说：“当时我意识到这一定是个hoax。我再次给大家打电话，说：‘别买香槟，别再把帽子扔到空中了！’”)”可知，班维尔得知自己没有得奖的时候很伤心并且感到羞愧。故选C。 8．推理判断题。根据最后一段“He has since shared the message with the Swedish Academy to investigate the incident. (此后，他与瑞典学院分享了这一信息，以调查这一事件。)”可知，到底是谁欺骗班维尔，最终将会被揭露出来。故选A。 03 【来源】上海市建平中学2023-2024学年高一期末检测英语试题 The train was at a standstill, some twenty minutes outside Kolkata, when an unexpected stroke of luck presented Piya with an opportunity to go for a seat beside a window for some fresh air. She had been sitting in the stuffiest part of the train compartment, on the edge of a bench: now, moving to the open window, she saw that the train had stopped at a station called Champahati. Looking over her shoulder, Piya spotted a tea-seller on the platform. Reaching through the bars of the window, she called him with a wave. She had never cared for the kind of chai, Indian tea, sold in Seattle, her hometown in the USA, but somehow, in the ten days she had spent in India she had developed an unexpected taste for milky, overboiled tea served in earthenware cups. There were no spices in it for one thing, and this was more to her taste than the chai at home. She paid for her tea and was trying to get in the cup through the bars when the man in the seat opposite her own suddenly turned over a page, jolting her hand. She turned her wrist quickly enough to make sure that most of the tea spilled out of the window, but she could not prevent some from spilling over his papers. “Oh, I’m so sorry!” Piya was very embarrassed: of everyone in the compartment, this was the last person she would have chosen to injure with her tea. She had noticed him while waiting on the platform in Kolkata and she had been struck by the self-satisfied tilt of his head and the way in which he stared at everyone around him, taking them in, sizing them up, sorting them all into their places. “Here,” said Piya, producing a handful of tissues. “Let me help you clean up.” “There’s nothing to be done,” he said testily (暴躁地). “These pages are ruined anyway.” For a moment she considered pointing out that it was he who had knocked her hand. But all she could bring herself to say was, “I’m very sorry. I hope you’ll excuse me.” “Do I really have a choice?” he said. “Does anyone have a choice when they’re dealing with Americans these days?” Piya had no wish to get into an argument so she let this pass. Instead, she opened her eyes wide and, in an attempt to restore peace, came out with, “But how did you guess?” “About what?” “About my being American? You’re very observant.” This seemed to do the trick. His shoulders relaxed as he leaned back in his seat. “I didn’t guess,” he said. “I knew.” 9．In the first paragraph, Piya was relieved when she got a window seat because it meant that_________. A．there was more room for her luggage B．she no longer had to suffer from a lack of air C．there was less chance that she would miss her stop D．she didn’t have to stand for the rest of the train journey 10．Piya found that the tea or chai she had drunk in India ________. A．was disappointingly weak in taste B．reminded her of her home in Seattle C．would have tasted better if served fresh D．was preferable to the chai she had had before 11．When Piya first saw the man she thought that ________. A．he was someone who was observant of surroundings B．he seemed to think he was better than other people C．he had tried to keep his distance from his fellow passengers D．he had been looking for someone he knew on the station platform 12．Piya asked “But how did you guess?” in order to _________. A．find out what the man really thought about Americans B．try to calm the situation down by starting a conversation C．ensure the man realized that she had apologized D．make sure the man knew he was being rude 【答案】9．B 10．D 11．B 12．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了是美国小姑娘Piya在火车上的一次经历。 9．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The train was at a standstill, some twenty minutes outside Kolkata, when an unexpected stroke of luck presented Piya with an opportunity to go for a seat beside a window for some fresh air. She had been sitting in the stuffiest part of the train compartment, on the edge of a bench, now, moving to the open window, she saw that the train had stopped at a station called Champahati. (火车停在离加尔各答大约二十分钟的地方，这时一个意外的机缘给了皮娅一个机会，她坐在靠窗的座位上呼吸新鲜空气。她一直坐在火车车厢最闷热的地方，坐在长凳边上，现在，她走到敞开的窗口，看到火车停在了一个叫Champahati的车站。)”可知，当Piya找到一个靠窗的座位时，她松了一口气，因为这意味着她再也不用忍受空气不足的痛苦了。故选B。 10．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“She had never cared for the kind of chai, Indian tea, sold in Seattle, her hometown in the USA, but somehow, in the ten days she had spent in India she had developed an unexpected taste for milky, overboiled tea served in earthenware cups. There were no spices in it for one thing, and this was more to her taste than the chai at home.(她从来没有喜欢过在她的家乡美国西雅图出售的印度茶，但不知何故，在印度的十天里，她意外地喜欢上了用陶杯盛着的煮过的奶茶。首先，里面没有香料，这比家里的茶更合她的口味。)”可知，Piya发现她在印度喝的茶比她以前喝过的茶更美味。故选D。 11．细节理解题。根据第四段“She had noticed him while waiting on the platform in Kolkata and she had been struck by the self-satisfied tilt of his head and the way in which he stared at everyone around him, taking them in, sizing them up, sorting them all into their places.(她是在加尔各答的月台上等车时注意到他的，他得意洋洋地歪着头，盯着周围每个人，打量着他们，把他们分门别类，给她留下了深刻的印象。)”可知，当皮娅第一次看到这个男人时，她觉得他似乎认为自己比别人好。故选B。 12．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第四段“Piya had no wish to get into an argument so she let this pass. Instead, she opened her eyes wide and, in an attempt to restore peace, came out with, “But how did you guess?”(皮娅不想和别人争吵，所以她就不计较了。相反，她睁大了眼睛，试图恢复平静，说：“但是你是怎么猜到的？”)”以及最后一段“This seemed to do the trick. His shoulders relaxed as he leaned back in his seat.(这似乎奏效了。他向后靠在座位上，肩膀放松了下来。)”可知，Piya问“你是怎么猜的？”的目的是试图通过开始谈话来平息与男子之间紧张的局势。故选B。 04 【来源】上海交大附中嘉定分校2023-2024学年 高一上期末英语考试 In the heart of the war-torn city, where buildings stood like wounded soldiers, Emma waited inline for her weekly ration. The line moved slowly, a somber procession of gaunt (瘦削憔悴的) faces and threadbare coats. When her turn came, the ration officer handed her the allotted food with a detached efficiency. “Two loaves, half a pound of sugar, and a tin of powdered milk,” he recited. The portions seemed to shrink each week, mirroring the dwindling hope in people’s hearts. Clutching her meager supplies, Emma hurried through the bombed-out streets, dodging craters and debris. The city, once vibrant and bustling, now lay in a hushed surrender to scarcity and fear. At home, her family’s small garden offered a sharp contrast to the desolation around. Here, amidst the rows of struggling vegetables, her father toiled. “Dad, let me help,” Emma offered, taking the shovel from his weary hands. Together, they dug into the earth, creating a hidden cache for extra food. It was a secret they guarded fiercely, knowing that in times of shortage, even neighbors could turn against each other out of desperation. As they worked, Emma’s mind wandered to the days before the war, when food was abundant and their garden was a source of joy, not just survival. She remembered her mother’s cooking, the aromas that filled their kitchen, the laughter that accompanied their meals. Now, each bite of their bland rations was a reminder of what had been lost. In the evenings, the family gathered around a small table, sharing their rationed food. Conversation flowed, weaving tales of better times, igniting sparks of hope. Emma’s younger brother, Tom, would often ask, “When will we have chocolate again?” It was a question loaded with longing, not just for the sweetness of chocolate but for the return of normalcy. Despite the hardship, they found reasons to smile. Emma’s father would recount stories from his youth, tales of adventure that seemed like fairy tales in their grim surroundings. Her mother would hum old tunes, filling their home with a semblance of warmth and normalcy. As winter deepened, the rations grew scarcer, and the hidden cache in the garden became their lifeline. Each day, Emma and her father would check the hole, ensuring their precious supplies were safe. The hole, a mere cavity in the ground, symbolized their resilience, a refusal to succumb to despair. 13．How did the amount of weekly rations appear to change each week? A．Significantly increased B．Dramatically decreased C．Remained the same D．Decreased each week 14．What does the term “hidden cache” in the third paragraph refer to in the article? A．A treasure map B．A buried capsule C．A secret food storage spot D．A mysterious box 15．How does the family’s gathering around the table for meals illustrate the impact of war on their lives? A．Abundant food showshow the war has unexpectedly brought prosperity to their family. B．The family’s conversations about a war-free future reflect their enduring hope. C．Meals at the table are silent and rushed, highlighting their fear and anxiety. D．The table becomes a place of conflict where family members argue over limited food. 16．Tom’s longing for chocolate is symbolic in the story. What does this longing represent? A．It’s a simple craving for a treat, unrelated to the broader themes of the story. B．The desire for chocolate symbolizes a yearning for the comforts of life before the war. C．His wish for chocolate indicates his dislike for the food rationing and nothing more. D．It is a secret code used by the family to communicate about their hidden food. 【答案】13．D 14．C 15．B 16．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了饱受战争蹂躏的艾玛一家的生存状态以及对未来的憧憬。 13．细节理解题。根据第一段“The portions seemed to shrink each week......”（食物的份量似乎每周都在减少……）可知，配给每周都在减少。故选D项。 14．词句猜测题。根据第三段“Together, they dug into the earth”（他们一起挖地）和最后一段“Each day, Emma and her father would check the hole, ensuring their precious supplies were safe.”（每天，艾玛和她的父亲都会检查这个洞，确保他们珍贵的物资是安全的）可知，他们一起挖地，为额外的食物创造了一个隐藏的贮藏处。所以划线词的意思为“一个秘密的储藏室的地点”。故选C项。 15．推理判断题。根据第五段“In the evenings, the family gathered around a small table, sharing their rationed food. Conversation flowed, weaving tales of better times, igniting sparks of hope. ”（晚上，一家人围坐在一张小桌子旁，分享配的食物。谈话滔滔不绝，编织着美好时光的故事，点燃了希望的火花。）可知，这家人关于没有战争的未来的谈话反映了他们持久的希望。故选B项。 16．推理判断题。根据第五段“Emma’s younger brother, Tom, would often ask, “When will we have chocolate again?” It was a question loaded with longing, not just for the sweetness of chocolate but for the return of normalcy.”（艾玛的弟弟汤姆经常问:“我们什么时候能再吃巧克力?”这是一个充满渴望的问题，不仅是为了巧克力的甜蜜，也是为了回归正常）可知，对巧克力的渴望象征着对战前舒适生活的向往。故选B项。 05 【来源】上海市上海中学2023-2024学年高一上学期期末考试英语试题 “It’s a windy day in Laguna San Ignacio, and the waves seem to come from all directions,” said Sara Clemence in Bloomberg Businessweek. My children and I are riding on an 18-foot boat — small enough that we can reach down into the water if a gray whale swims up alongside. And then we see what we’ve come for: a heart-shaped shower of water and a dark mass rushing below it. As instructed, we splash (溅泼) the water strongly to signal the huge whale, which turns out to be a mother with her weeks-old baby. The baby soon swims beneath our boat, emerges to blow mist in my face, then “lies onto its side like a 2-ton puppy.” Leaning down, I touched its skin gently. “It feels electric. Also, a bit like petting a hard-boiled egg.” San Ignacio is one of very few places where a person can pet a whale. The whales come each year to the coast of Baja California to give birth and to mate. If you’re lucky, you can “shake hands with a leathery fin (鳍)” or even “plant a kiss on a cold, salty cheek.” I usually worry about such interactions, because wild creatures can become deeply stressed by human contact. But boat numbers are strictly limited in these protected waters. And any whale that approaches a boat does so on its own terms. Like that baby whale: “We see him a few times, and he seems to like being petted and splashed.” So we are two species, connecting through touch, but also through eye contact: “More than once, after nosing around our boat, a young gray whale turns on its side so one dark, baseball-size eye is looking up at us.” Whalers used to call gray whales “devil fish” because these magnificent creatures turn violent when threatened — “or, say, when their babies are harmed.” That makes it feel even more of a blessing when, on our third day there, a large mama whale approaches the boat. “I’m splashing when I feel her nose press up into my hand.” Though she’s “wiser and apparently more alert” than her child, “she still decides to trust us.” 17．According to the passage, people can NOT interact with a whale by ________. A．splashing water to it B．gently touching its skin C．swimming alongside it D．looking at it in the eye 18．The underlined phrase in paragraph 2 means that the whale ________. A．is mad with too many visitors B．is willing to be petted by people on the boat C．can interact with people based on its likes D．can decide its preferred swimming route 19．Why does the author consider it “a blessing” when a large mama whale approaches the boat? A．Because she is smarter than her child and better at interacting with people. B．Because she believes in people and will not turn violent if her baby is harmed. C．Because a whale as large as this one is rare to see. D．Because she trusts people despite her concerns about her child’s safety. 20．What is the best title for this passage? A．Preserving the Devil Fish in Laguna San Ignacio B．A Beautiful Encounter with Gray Whales C．A Risky but Exciting Whale-Watching Journey D．Appropriate Ways to Interact with Gray Whales 【答案】17．C 18．C 19．D 20．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Sara Clemence和孩子们在圣伊格纳西奥湖的一段和鲸鱼互动的海上之旅，展现了人与自然的和谐共处。 17．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As instructed, we splash (溅泼) the water strongly to signal the huge whale, which turns out to be a mother with her weeks-old baby.(按照指示，我们用力泼水，向这头巨大的鲸鱼发出信号，原来它是一位带着几周大婴儿的母亲)”和“Leaning down, I touched its skin gently.(我俯下身，轻轻地摸了摸它的皮肤)”和第三段中的“So we are two species, connecting through touch, but also through eye contact(因此，我们是两个物种，通过触摸和眼神接触交流)”可知，人们可以通过向鲸鱼泼水、轻抚鲸鱼的皮肤、跟鲸鱼进行眼神接触来互动。文中没有提到可以和鲸鱼一起游泳，C项错误。故选C。 18．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“If you’re lucky, you can “shake hands with a leathery fin (鳍)” or even “plant a kiss on a cold, salty cheek.”(如果你幸运的话，你可以“与坚韧的鳍握手”，甚至可以“在冰冷、咸涩的脸颊上吻上一吻”)”及下文“Like that baby whale: “We see him a few times, and he seems to like being petted and splashed.”(就像那只小鲸鱼：“我们见过它几次，它似乎喜欢被抚摸和被泼水。”)”可知，这些靠近船只的鲸鱼都是按照自己的方式和人们互动的。由此可知，does so on its own terms指的是“鲸鱼可以根据自己的喜好与人互动”。故选C。 19．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“That makes it feel even more  of a blessing when, on our third day there, a large mama whale  approaches the boat. “I’m splashing when I feel her nose press up into  my hand.” Though she’s “wiser and apparently more alert” than her child,  “she still decides to trust us.”(当我们在那里的第三天，一头大型鲸鱼妈妈靠近船时，这让我们感觉更像是一种祝福。“当我感觉到她的鼻子压在我的手上时，我正在溅水。”虽然她比她的孩子“更聪明，更警觉”，但“她仍然决定相信我们。”)”可推知，当这只大型鲸鱼妈妈靠近他们的船时，作者感到这是一种“祝福”，因为尽管她会担心自己孩子们的安全，但她依然选择相信人类。故选D。 20．主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“My children and I are riding on an 18-foot boat — small enough that we can reach down into the water if a gray whale swims up alongside. And then we see what we’ve come for: a heart-shaped shower of water and a dark mass rushing below it.(我和孩子们坐在一艘18英尺长的船上，船足够小，如果一头灰鲸在旁边游动，我们就可以把手伸下水里。然后我们看到了我们来这里的目的：一场心形的阵雨和一团黑块在它下面冲来。)”并结合下文内容可知，本文主要描述了作者和孩子们的一段和鲸鱼互动的海上之旅。由此可知，B项“一场与灰鲸的美丽邂逅”最适合作本文标题。故选B。 06 【来源】上海市奉贤区2023-2024学年高一上学期期末调研考试英语试卷 I've just done my first jump since the accident that nearly killed me just a year ago. As I was lying in hospital, thinking that I would never skydive again, I wasn't feeling glad to be alive. Instead, I was wondering how I could possibly live without it. It all started one evening after another nine-to-five day. I was sitting at home thinking, “There has to be more to life than this,” when an advertisement came on the television, “Try skydiving!” The next day, I called the nearest skydiving center and booked my first jump. I will never forget my first jump. It was a beautiful, cloudless day and the sun was just going down. As I pushed myself away from the plane at 11,000 feet, my mind went blank. Words cannot describe the excitement I experienced while I was free-falling. That was the most amazing four minutes of my life. From the first jump, I was hooked. I started spending every free moment I had skydiving. At work, I sat in front of my computer and imagined ways of making more money so that I could jump more often. The accident happened on my 1,040th jump. Another skydiver hit my parachute(降落伞) at 80 feet. I fell and hit the ground at about 30 mph, face down. I broke my legs, my right arm and my nose. I lost 6 liters of blood, 19 teeth and 25 pounds of fat. I was lucky to be alive. People who have never experienced skydiving will find it hard to understand that my only reason to get better was that I could do it again. All I can say is that for me, skydiving is life and life is skydiving. 21．The writer began skydiving because . A．he wanted to find something more meaningful than just work B．he was persuaded by the local skydiving club to have a try C．he made a promise he would go on with it D．he didn't realize what serious injury it might end in 22．What can we learn about the writer's first skydiving from the passage? A．The writer planned it for a long time. B．The writer was too nervous to enjoy it. C．It proved to be fairly successful. D．It took place a year before the accident. 23．The underlined sentence “I was hooked” in Paragraph 5 probably means . A．I was attracted by skydiving B．I was shocked by skydiving C．I became familiar with skydiving D．I became curious about skydiving 24．Which of the following shows the writer's strong will for skydiving? A．The writer spent almost every nine-to-five day skydiving. B．The writer worked hard to make more money for skydiving. C．The writer imagined himself skydiving while at the hospital. D．The writer expected to recover only to continue skydiving. 【答案】21．A 22．C 23．A 24．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者想要做一些比工作更有意义的事，便去尝试跳伞并爱上了跳伞，在经历一次致命的事故后，作者想要恢复健康的唯一理由是之后能继续跳伞。 21．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“It all started one evening after another nine-to-five day. I was sitting at home thinking, “There has to be more to life than this,” when an advertisement came on the television, “Try skydiving!”(这一切开始于一个晚上，又是一个朝九晚五的日子。我坐在家里想，“生活中一定有比这更多的东西”，这时电视上出现了一则广告，“试试跳伞！”)”可知，作者开始跳伞是因为他想找到比工作更有意义的东西。故选A项。 22．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Words cannot describe the excitement I experienced while I was free-falling. That was the most amazing four minutes of my life.(言语无法形容我在自由落体时所经历的兴奋。那是我一生中最美妙的四分钟)”可知，作者的第一次跳伞非常成功。故选C项。 23．句意猜测题。根据文章第五段“I started spending every free moment I had skydiving. At work, I sat in front of my computer and imagined ways of making more money so that I could jump more often.(我开始利用我的每一个空闲时间来跳伞。在工作中，我坐在电脑前，想象着如何赚更多的钱，这样我就可以更频繁地跳跃)”可知，划线句子的意思是“我被跳伞吸引了”。故选A项。 24．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“People who have never experienced skydiving will find it hard to understand that my only reason to get better was that I could do it again.(从来没有经历过跳伞的人会发现很难理解，我想身体变好的唯一原因是我可以再次做这件事)”可知，作者希望身体恢复的唯一理由是继续跳伞标明作者对跳伞的强烈意愿。故选D项。 07 【来源】上海市闵行区2023-2024学年高一上学期期末质量调研英语试卷 Clementine seemed to be missing apiece from her life’s puzzle for most of her life. Dropped off as a 3-year-old homeless dog near New Orleans, the dog stayed in the shelter for four months before being moved to Texas. While living at an adoption center in Texas, the dog was adopted out twice to different families. Sadly, neither of those adoptions were successful. It turned out Clementine didn’t get along with smaller pets, and she had too much energy for the second family. Meanwhile, Captain Robert Moree wanted to add a fire dog to the station. He’d just read a study about how dogs help firefighter scope with the pressure of their jobs, and he was eager to give the study a real life trial run! With the permission of the chief and other firefighters, he and a few colleagues visited the shelter. As soon as they met Clementine, they were smitten! “They introduced us to Clementine,” Captain Moree recalled. “She started to like us, and we liked her instantly. Later that day, my driver, Bryan Wallen, and I decided to get her.” Captain Moree officially adopted Clementine, but she definitely belonged to every person in the firehouse. She loved to hug the firefighters in between calls, and she was always nearby whenever anyone was preparing food. “She rides on the truck when we go out on calls” said Captain Moree. “She not only makes the station feel more like home during our 24-hour shifts but also keeps us excited to come to the station.” Clementine has made such an amazing journey from a homeless dog to a hero dog. She was named Dog of the Year at the 2022 ASPCA Humane Awards! 25．Why did Clementine fail to stay in the second family? A．She liked fire. B．She was too active. C．She ate too much. D．She hated other pets. 26．What does the underlined word “smitten” probably mean? A．moved B．puzzled C．attracted D．surprised 27．What did Captain Moree expect a fire dog to do? A．Help put out fires. B．Guard the firehouse. C．Stay excited day and night D．Reduce stress of firefighters. 28．What can be inferred about Clementine from the last two paragraphs? A．She risked her life as a fire dog. B．She has got many important awards. C．She did an excellent job as a fire dog. D．She remained homeless in her whole life. 【答案】25．B 26．C 27．D 28．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Clementine从一只流浪狗成为消防英雄狗的奇妙旅程。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“It turned out Clementine didn’t get along with smaller pets, and she had too much energy for the second family.（事实证明，Clementine和小宠物相处不来，而且对于第二个家庭来说，她有太多的精力。）”可知，Clementine没能留在第二个家庭的原因是她太活跃了。故选B项。 26．词句猜测题。根据划线单词下面的一段“‘They introduced us to Clementine,” Captain Moree recalled. “She started to like us, and we liked her instantly. Later that day, my driver, Bryan Wallen, and I decided to get her.’(‘他们把我们介绍给Clementine，”Moree队长回忆道。“她开始喜欢我们，我们也立刻喜欢上了她。那天晚些时候，我和我的司机Bryan Wallen决定去接她。’）”可知，Moree队长他们被Clementine吸引住了，所以才决定接受她。所以，划线单词smitten与attracted意义一致。故选C项。 27．细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“Meanwhile, Captain Robert Moree wanted to add a fire dog to the station. He’d just read a study about how dogs help firefighter scope with the pressure of their jobs, and he was eager to give the study a real life trial run! (与此同时，Robert Moree队长想给消防站增加一只消防犬。他刚刚读了一篇关于狗如何帮助消防员应对工作压力的研究，他渴望让这项研究在现实生活中进行试验！)”可知，Moree队长想让消防犬减轻消防员的压力。故选D项。 28．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Clementine has made such an amazing journey from a homeless dog to a hero dog. She was named Dog of the Year at the 2022 ASPCA Humane Awards!（克莱门汀从一只无家可归的狗变成了一只英雄狗，经历了如此奇妙的旅程。她在2022年ASPCA人道奖上被评为年度最佳狗!）”可以推论出，作为消防犬，Clementine一定表现出色，她才会被评为年度最佳狗。故选C项。 08 【来源】上海市徐汇区2023-2024学年高一上学期期末质量调研英语试卷 When I first moved away from home to study, I started out living in student housing. We all had our own rooms, but every floor shared a kitchen and a common room. There was no supervision from family members, and we were expected to take care of ourselves. I had a neighbor who had, like most of us, just moved away from home. It was his first time on his own, and he felt unhappy. We had to teach this poor boy EVERYTHING. It started with the mystery of why the plates in the cupboard were always greasy (有油渍的). It turned out that the boy didn’t know he had to use hot water to wash the dishes; he just washed them in cold water and put them back. He spent the first six months complaining about how he was always running out of money. This was because he didn’t know how to cook. The rest of us lived on the usual student diet and treated ourselves to a pizza on weekends. However, he got fast food every single day. I could feed myself for a month on his weekly meal budget. Moreover, he had no idea how to wash clothes with a washing machine. I had to take him shopping for laundry detergent (洗衣粉) first because he didn’t know what it was. He thought he could just put ordinary soap in the washing machine. To his credit, the boy was very grateful for the help and very depressed that no one had taught him how to do all these things before he moved out. One day, the boy’s mother came to visit. He happily introduced all of us to his mother. After we graduated, I was invited to his wedding. He introduced me to his new wife as “the one who taught me how to be a man”. 29．What does the underlined word “supervision” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Difference. B．Guidance. C．Escape. D．Hope. 30．What can we learn about the boy? A．He lacked common sense in housework. B．He got married to the author. C．He always washed dishes in hot water. D．He didn’t get along well with his mother. 31．Why did the boy always have money problems? A．He often cooked expensive meals. B．He bought himself a pizza every month. C．He treated his neighbors on weekends. D．He didn’t know how to spend reasonably. 32．Which word best describes the relationship between the boy and the author? A．Worrying. B．Poor. C．Close. D．Disappointing. 【答案】29．B 30．A 31．D 32．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在学生公寓居住时，遇到了一个没什么生活常识的男孩，作者帮助了他，两人成为了朋友。 29．词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“When I first moved away from home to study, I started out living in student housing. (当我第一次离开家去学习的时候，我开始住在学生公寓里)”以及后文“and we were expected to take care of ourselves(我们被要求照顾好自己)”可知，作者住在学生公寓，没有家庭成员的指导，因此需要自己照顾自己。故画线词的意思和Guidance最接近。故选B。 30．细节理解题。根据第二段“We had to teach this poor boy EVERYTHING. It started with the mystery of why the plates in the cupboard were always greasy (有油渍的). It turned out that the boy didn’t know he had to use hot water to wash the dishes; he just washed them in cold water and put them back.(我们必须教会这个可怜的孩子一切。事情开始于橱柜里的盘子为什么总是油腻的谜团。原来这个男孩不知道他必须用热水洗碗；他只是用冷水洗了洗，然后放回去)”以及第三段“Moreover, he had no idea how to wash clothes with a washing machine. I had to take him shopping for laundry detergent (洗衣粉) first because he didn’t know what it was. He thought he could just put ordinary soap in the washing machine.(此外，他不知道如何用洗衣机洗衣服。我不得不先带他去买洗衣粉，因为他不知道那是什么。他认为他可以把普通的肥皂放在洗衣机里)”可知，这个男孩缺乏做家务的常识。故选A。 31．推理判断题。根据第三段“However, he got fast food every single day. I could feed myself for a month on his weekly meal budget.(然而，他每天都吃快餐。靠他每周的伙食预算，我可以养活自己一个月)”可推断，这个男孩不会理性消费。故选D。 32．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“To his credit, the boy was very grateful for the help and very depressed that no one had taught him how to do all these things before he moved out.(值得赞扬的是，这个男孩非常感激别人的帮助，但他很沮丧，因为在他搬出去之前没有人教他怎么做这些事情)”以及最后一段“One day, the boy’s mother came to visit. He happily introduced all of us to his mother, After we graduated, I was invited to his wedding. He introduced me to his new wife as “the one who taught me how to be a man”. (一天，男孩的妈妈来看他。他很高兴地把我们大家介绍给他的母亲。毕业后，我被邀请参加他的婚礼。他把我介绍给他的新婚妻子，说她是“教会我如何做人的人”)”可推断，男孩和作者的关系很亲密。故选C。 09 【来源】上海市华东师范大学第二附属中学2023-2024学年高一上学期期末考试英语试题 An excerpt from Shoes Were for Sunday by Molly Weir One of the phrases which greatly puzzled me was “entertaining angels unaware”. How could anybody be unaware of entertaining an angel, I thought? It never occurred to me that angelic qualities could hide under very ordinary voices and in everyday bodies. My angel, as it turned out, hid inside the little figure of my school-teacher, Miss McKenzie. To me she was always a little old lady, with her grey hair framing a round rosy face and caught up in an old-fashioned bun (发髻) on top of her head. Although I enjoyed Miss McKenzie’s approval, I never really felt very close to her. It never dawned on me to ask her advice as to what I should do when I left school. Surely there was only one thing to do:get a job and earn money as quickly as possible. But Miss McKenzie had other ideas. We in our house knew nothing of scholarships for fatherless children. The idea of a child from a working-class household going to college was the very stuff of story-books. Unknown to us, she forced the headmaster to put my name forward for a special scholarship open to children who showed some promise, and who would benefit from further education. He agreed, although he was a bit worried about the expense of keeping me at college for a whole year. No earnings from me, and fares and clothes to be covered, for, of course, only the fees would be paid if I won. Miss McKenzie brushed all argument aside. To this day I can remember my complete astonishment when, on being asked if she felt I had any particular qualities, this elderly teacher banged the desk with her fist, and declared in an American idiom I never suspected she knew, ‘I’d stake my bottom dollar on this girl!’ I trembled at the passion in her voice, and at her faith in me. “What if I fail her?” I gasped to myself. “What if she has to pay all the money back if I let her down?” I knew we hadn’t a spare dollar to repay anybody, and I was sick with a sense of responsibility in case I messed up. The time at college went by quickly. At the end of my year at college I was able to lay before her the college gold medal as the year’s top student and a whole pile of certificates. And suddenly as I gazed at her, and saw her eyes shining with pride behind the gold-rimmed glasses, I realized how widely she had thrown open the door of opportunity for me. And I knew for the first time what the phrase “entertaining angels unaware” meant. For there, standing before me in class, was my very own angel, Miss McKenzie. 33．The author’s description of Miss McKenzie in paragraphs 2 and 5 aims to ______. A．explain why she always kept a safe distance from Miss McKenzie B．contrast the inner qualities of McKenzie with her humble appearance C．emphasize that she and Miss McKenzie both came from an ordinary family D．illustrate the influence of the strong faith Miss McKenzie had in her 34．It can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 that ______. A．it is unlikely for children from an ordinary family to further their study in college B．going to university can help those from working-class climb up the social ladder C．those who can only read stories do not meet the minimum requirement of college D．the author had the idea of going to college because she was inspired by some stories 35．In Paragraph 6, the author felt ______ when she heard Miss McKenzie’s passionate voice. A．shocked and encouraged B．embarrassed and reluctant C．uncertain and stressed D．worried and purposeful 36．The author’s main purpose of writing this passage is to ______. A．recall her schooldays and her past achievements B．express her gratitude to one of her school teachers C．stress the importance of equal access to education D．encourage readers to find the angels around them 【答案】33．D 34．D 35．A 36．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的一位老师Miss McKenzie是如何在她的人生中扮演了“天使”的角色，帮助她获得了进一步的教育和成功的故事。文章通过回忆过去的事情，向读者阐述了一个对作者有重大影响的人物，并表达了作者的感激之情。 33．推理判断题。根据第二段中“My angel, as it turned out, hid inside the little figure of my school-teacher，Miss McKenzie. (事实证明，我的天使藏在我的学校老师麦肯齐小姐的小身影里)”以及第五段中“To this day I can remember my complete astonishment when, on being asked if she felt I had any particular qualities, this elderly teacher banged the desk with her fist, and declared in an American idiom I never suspected she knew, ‘I’d stake my bottom dollar on this girl!’(直到今天，我还记得，当我问这位上了年纪的老师是否觉得我有什么特殊的品质时，我当时非常惊讶，她用拳头敲了敲桌子，并用一句我从未怀疑过她知道的美国谚语说:“我愿意把所有的钱都押在这个女孩身上！”)”可推知，作者在第2和第5段中对麦肯齐小姐的描述旨在说明麦肯齐小姐对她的坚定信念的影响。故选D。 34．句意猜测题。根据第三段中“Surely there was only one thing to do: get a job and earn money as quickly as possible. But Miss Mc Kenzie had other ideas. We in our house knew nothing of scholarships for fatherless children. (当然，只有一件事要做：尽快找到工作并挣钱。但麦肯齐女士有其他想法。我们家里的人对给没有父亲的孩子提供奖学金一无所知)”可知，划线句子The idea of a child from a working-class household going to college was the very stuff of story-books.的意思是：工人阶级家庭的孩子上大学，这种想法只存在于故事书中。由此推知，作者之所以有上大学的想法，是因为她受到了一些故事的启发。故选D。 35．细节理解题。根据第六段中“I trembled at the passion in her voice, and at her faith in me. (她声音中的激情和她对我的信任而颤抖)”可知，作者听到麦肯齐小姐充满激情的声音时感到既震惊又受到鼓舞。故选A。 36．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“And suddenly as I gazed at her, and saw her eyes shining with pride behind the gold-rimmed glasses, I realized how widely she had thrown open the door of opportunity for me. (突然，当我凝视着她，看到她戴着金边眼镜的眼睛里闪烁着自豪的光芒时，我意识到她为我敞开了机会的大门)”可推知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是向她的一位学校老师表示感谢。故选B。 10 【来源】上海市闵行区2023-2024学年高一上学期期末区统考英语试卷 When I was about 12 years old, my older brother, James, smuggled (偷运) a BB gun into the house. Our parents had told us many times that we were not allowed to bring home guns or knives, even if they were just toys. Having any form of weaponry (兵器) in our home was strictly forbidden. James brought me to his room. He opened his closet door and took out a shoebox that was buried beneath a heap of clothes. The BB gun was inside. I was immediately attracted by the shiny barrel (枪管). “Can I shoot it, James?” I asked, hopefully. “No way,” James said, taking it from me and putting it back. One day, when no one was home, I went into James’ closet and took it out. For some incomprehensible reason — I have no idea what I was thinking — I went to the front window of the second floor in our row house. I cracked the window open. I pointed the gun outside and shot. I quickly shut the window and looked outside secretly. In a matter of seconds, old Mr. Schlosberg came out of his grocery store. He looked back at his store window. He looked up the street. He looked down the street. Then he looked straight across to our house. Thankfully, James made it home before Mother or Father. As he stepped through the door, I could hear old Mr. Schlosberg call his name. “James, James,” he called. “Come here, son.” After several minutes, James ran back across the street and into the living room. I had retreated into the kitchen. “Alma!” he screamed. “Get out here! You cracked Mr. Schlosberg’s window with my BB gun!” “Oh, please, James,” I begged. “Don’t let him tell Mother. She will hit my bottom real good!” James sighed. He wiped my tears and went back across the street to Mr. Schlosberg’s. I don’t know what James said to that man, but there was never a mention of the incident again. Years later, I found out James had used the money he got from his newspaper route to pay for Mr. Schlosberg’s cracked window. He only got one cent for every paper he delivered. He managed to pay back the debt just before he went off to fight in World War Ⅱ. Since that day, I have never touched a gun: a BB gun, a water gun, a real gun, or any other type. 37．Why was the gun hidden in the closet? A．The gun was too expensive. B．The family had only one gun. C．The law didn’t allow anyone to have a gun. D．The parents didn’t allow a gun to appear at home. 38．The word “retreated” in the middle of the passage is closest in meaning to “_____”. A．rushed happily B．moved excitedly C．wandered unhurriedly D．escaped quietly 39．What did Alma expect from James after he shot Mr. Schlosberg’s window? A．To deal with the problem. B．To talk with his parents. C．To throw away the gun. D．To tell the truth. 40．Which of the following best describes James as a brother? A．Responsible and strict. B．Brave and determined. C．Responsible and caring. D．Naughty and determined. 41．The best title of the passage is ______. A．A Warmhearted Brother B．A BB Gun C．A Cracked window D．An Incident 【答案】37．D 38．D 39．A 40．C 41．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者12岁时，作者和哥哥之间的故事。当时作者们的父母不允许作者们带刀枪回家，哥哥偷偷在橱子里藏了一把BB枪，有一天作者用它打碎了杂货店的玻璃，后来哥哥用他送报纸的钱帮作者赔偿。 37．细节理解题。根据第一段“Our parents had told us many times that we were not allowed to bring home guns or knives, even if they were just toys.(我们的父母告诉过我们很多次，我们不允许带枪或刀回家，即使它们只是玩具)”可知，把枪藏在橱子里的原因是父母不允许家里有枪出现，故选D。 38．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Get out here! You cracked Mr. Schlosberg’s window with my BB gun!(给我出来！你用我的气枪打碎了施洛斯伯格先生家的窗户！)”可知，作者用气枪打碎了别人家的窗户，所以作者看到James来了想要悄悄逃走。故划线词意思是“悄悄逃走”。故选D。 39．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段““Oh, please, James,” I begged. “Don’t let him tell Mother. She will hit my bottom real good!” James sighed.(“哦，求你了，詹姆斯，”我恳求道。“别让他告诉妈妈。她会狠狠地打我屁股的！”詹姆斯叹了口气)”可知，Alma期盼着哥哥回来帮自己解决问题。故选A。 40．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“He wiped my tears and went back across the street to Mr. Schlosberg’s.(他擦干我的眼泪，回到街对面的施洛斯伯格先生家)”可以看出哥哥关心、体贴他人；根据倒数第二段“He managed to pay back the debt just before he went off to fight in World War Ⅱ.(他在参加第二次世界大战前还清了债务)”可知哥哥设法赔偿我打坏的窗户，可以看出哥哥负责任的品质。故选C。 41．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Since that day, I have never touched a gun: a BB gun, a water gun, a real gun, or any other type.(从那天起，我再也没有碰过枪：BB枪、水枪、真枪，或者任何其他类型的枪)”结合文章开头有介绍“我们的父母曾多次告诉我们，不允许我们带着枪或刀回家，但是哥哥在家藏了一把BB枪。”文章中间段落叙述了作者用BB枪干了坏事，哥哥帮自己补偿。文章围绕BB枪展开描述，故B选项“一把BB枪”作标题最为合适，故选B。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！5 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
