I was shocked when I arrived one day to find him standing in front of the room telling a story, with tears streaming down his cheeks. I was worried something had gone terribly wrong in his life, but as I listened to him talk, I heard him use words like “amazing” and “accomplishment.” I realized his tears weren’t out of sorrow, but happiness. Just a few days earlier, he’d received his GED (General Equivalency Diploma), at the age of 52. Having dyslexia (阅读障碍), Kevin left school at a young age and then managed to support himself by taking odd jobs. In his mid-30s, Kevin finally landed an opportunity for a job with some promise: working for a sheriff’s department (治安部门). Amazingly, when he came clean with them about his education, they said they’d hire him as long as he got his GED. He agreed, optimistic about this new career potential, and kind of excited about giving school another chance. Kevin studied with a tutor, and he did it for more than a decade, learning and practicing and correcting his mistakes, every free moment he had, often late into the night. It was a huge challenge, something Kevin compares to “climbing a mountain.” In fact, as Kevin took tests along the way, he did something interesting with each of his results. He posted them on his bedroom wall so that he could watch his progress. “I needed to see myself moving forward, and I wanted to speak, ” he said. Finally, he made it. “I can’t really describe what it’s like to finally achieve this,” he said. “I can hardly even put it into words. People are giving me graduation gifts! It’s a dream come true.” This might sound like a perfect ending. But for Kevin, it’s a new beginning. He’s on a roll, and his next step is college. “Now that I’ve accomplished my GED, I’m hungry for education,” he said. 4. Why did Kevin cry in the classroom? A. He was worried about his job. B. He had reached one of his goals. C. He was moved by a touching movie. D. He had experienced something terrible. 5. What do the underlined words “came clean” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Told the truth B. Passed a test C. Started a new job D. Achieved a clean record 6. How did Kevin encourage himself to keep going to get his GED? A. By doing things that interest him. B. By writing himself encouraging words. C. By reporting his test results to his tutor. D. By reminding himself of his improvement. 7. What can we learn from Kevin’s story? A. Easy come, easy go. B. Grasp all, lose all. C. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. D. The early bird catches the worm. C When I was in eighth grade, my English teacher Joan announced that we were going to learn about prepositional phrases (介词短语) . “There are over forty commonly used prepositions,” she continued. “And everyone must memorize them.” Joan recited (背诵) these prepositions as easily as saying the days of the week. She said you would find grammar easy when you memorized them. I tried my best and finally succeeded. Then, grammar became easier, just as Joan had promised. In addition to singing the prepositions, she shared other useful language points. I still remembered her catchy phrase: “Good better best, never let it rest, until your good is better, and your better is best.” After high school, I went to college, majoring (主修) in — my parents couldn’t believe it — English! In a creative writing class in my junior year, I recited the prepositions for my professor and classmates. I explained how my eighth-grade teacher, Joan, had often said that a strategically placed prepositional phrase could add depth and variety to sentences. Impressed, my professor asked for a copy of Joan’s list and other tricks of the trade that I remembered. After graduating from college, I landed a job teaching eighth-grade English. I tried best the way Joan had to make grammar easy. I started the unit with prepositions coming first. Memorization was the important part. Before long, the students were singing the prepositions to their favorite tunes. One year, since it was near Christmas, we all sang the prepositions to “Jingle Bells”. I also required students to recite the prepositions in ten seconds or less. If you thought that was impossible, then you didn’t know eighth graders. They welcomed any trouble, and with no homework as a motivator, they got right down to business. I pulled out a stopwatch and timed the students daily to judge their progress; 21, 16, 12, then bingo, 10 seconds! I taught eighth-grade English for thirty-eight years. Looking back, teaching English was a tough but worthwhile job, and I loved it every day. 8. Why did Joan ask her students to memorize prepositions? A. She wanted them to overcome their weak points. B. She thought this benefits their grammar learning. C. Memory exercises are a quick way to learn English. D. Prepositions are a hot part to be examined in exams. 9. What happened in the author’s creative writing class? A. He introduced his former teacher to his classmates. B He showed everyone his ways of learning grammar C. His professor was interested in Joan’s teaching methods. D. His talent for being a teacher was recognized by his professor. 10. What is implied about the author’s students from Paragraph 5? A. They joined colorful after-class activities. B. They tried their best to avoid their homework. C. They sometimes failed to follow the author’s instructions. D. They made gradual progress in remembering the prepositions. 11. What can be inferred about the author? A. He was greatly influenced by Joan. B. He found his job full of challenges. C. He was very popular among his students. D. He devoted all his life to grammar teaching. D Having hundreds of friends online is no substitute (代替品) for a handful of close friends in real life. Researchers discovered that people with only a few friends were at least as happy as those with far more if many of theirs were online. The number of “peripheral others”, someone connected with online — former classmates and coworkers, for example — had no connection with how satisfied they felt. Scientists did their study using data from two online surveys conducted on 1, 496 people by a non- profit research organization. People taking part in the study shared their ages, the make- up of their social networks, how often they had different types of social interactions, and their own feelings of well- being. They included details of how often and how they interacted with family or neighbours, and whether they included people who provided services for them in their networks. The number of close friends someone had was the only thing that influenced how satisfied they were with their social life. “Lonelines s has less to do with the number of friends you have, and more to do with how you feel about your friends, ” said Dr Bruine, an expert of the study. “If you feel lonely, it may be more helpful to make a positive connection with a friend than to try and seek out new people to meet. ” In the study, they found older people tended to have smaller social networks. Younger people's were larger but this was mostly made up of “peripheral others” — not true friends, just people they knew — and did not contribute to their happiness. Even variations in the number of family members or neighbours somebody spent time with did not affect how happy they were with their social life. Dr Bruine said her research echoed other findings showing people would be happier if a larger proportion of their online friends were actually their friends in reality. She added, “Stereotypes of aging tend to paint older adults in many cultures as sad and lonely. But the research shows that older adults’ smaller networks didn't weaken social satisfaction and well- being. In fact, older adults tend to report better well- being than younger adults.” 12. What has a good influence on one's happiness according to the study? A. Helping familiar coworkers. B. Meeting with close friends face to face. C. Maving impersonal networks of friends. D. Keeping in touch with family members online. 13. What did the 1, 496 people taking part in the study have to do? A. Keep off using the Internet. B. Show their attitudes to happiness. C. Reveal their social life thoroughly. D. Find “peripheral others” from their friends. 14. Who is more likely to be attacked by loneliness from the study? A. Parents living with their children. B. Young people without friends in reality. C. Older adults with fewer friends online. D. Those having fewer relatives or neighbours. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Social network size isn't linked to happiness. B. Larger social networks don't guarantee more happiness. C. Many online friends don't equal a few good real- life friends. D. Older adults tend to be more satisfied with their social lives. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选山可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Everyone is shaped by the people and environment around them, but none so much as the family. For better or worse, our parents and other relatives have a great influence on our lives. ____16____ As we grow older, we may distance ourselves from them, but their influence remains.

In many ways, this influence is even stronger than genes when it comes to who we become as people. ____19____ The way our parents treat us and each other has a huge influence on how we see the world and how we treat the people around us. If we grow up in a household where we’re shown love and respect, we are more likely to show love and respect to others.

Well, Ruby didn’t think she was. She sat next to Ollie and so she just copied him. This was the best way she had found to do maths and she didn’t have to think at all. One day the teacher said, “We will be having a maths test after lunch.” Ruby felt there were butterflies in the stomach. “Can I copy off you?” she whispered to Ollie. Ollie thought for a minute. “What will you give me?” he whispered back. Ruby showed Ollie a stone she had. It was round and smooth and the colour of the sea. “OK!” he said, “Give me the stone, and then you can copy my answers.” Ollie got full marks in the maths test and so did Ruby. Their names went on the top of the maths champion chart. Every week there was a maths test and every week Ollie and Ruby got full marks together. Ollie had to share the top place with Ruby, but it was worth it. He had a torch, a key chain, a golf ball and a gift box! One day, there was a maths test again. This time, Ruby picked a watch, thinking everything would go as usual—Ollie would let her copy and they would be on the top of the chart together again. But she was wrong. The headmaster came into Ruby’s class. “I want to see Ollie Simmons,” she said. Ollie was gone for a long time. Then the door opened. It was the headmaster again. “Ruby Riley,” she said, “Come with me, please.” Ruby felt like a bird in a cage—there was no way to escape. The headmaster told Ruby that every lunchtime for five weeks she had to do maths. “You have to learn to think for yourself,” she said. “And Ollie has to learn a lesson, too. He’s going to teach you.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Hanging her head down, Ruby felt so regretful for getting Ollie into trouble. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ollie proved to be a good teacher for Ruby. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 长沙市芙蓉高级中学2024年下学期高一期中考试英语试卷 (考试时间：120分钟 总分：150分) 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

Having dyslexia (阅读障碍), Kevin left school at a young age and then managed to support himself by taking odd jobs. In his mid-30s, Kevin finally landed an opportunity for a job with some promise: working for a sheriff’s department (治安部门). Amazingly, when he came clean with them about his education, they said they’d hire him as long as he got his GED. He agreed, optimistic about this new career potential, and kind of excited about giving school another chance. Kevin studied with a tutor, and he did it for more than a decade, learning and practicing and correcting his mistakes, every free moment he had, often late into the night. It was a huge challenge, something Kevin compares to “climbing a mountain.” In fact, as Kevin took tests along the way, he did something interesting with each of his results. He posted them on his bedroom wall so that he could watch his progress. “I needed to see myself moving forward, and I wanted to speak, ” he said. Finally, he made it. “I can’t really describe what it’s like to finally achieve this,” he said. “I can hardly even put it into words. People are giving me graduation gifts! It’s a dream come true.” This might sound like a perfect ending. But for Kevin, it’s a new beginning. He’s on a roll, and his next step is college. “Now that I’ve accomplished my GED, I’m hungry for education,” he said. 4. Why did Kevin cry in the classroom? A. He was worried about his job. B. He had reached one of his goals. C. He was moved by a touching movie. D. He had experienced something terrible. 5. What do the underlined words “came clean” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Told the truth B. Passed a test C. Started a new job D. Achieved a clean record 6. How did Kevin encourage himself to keep going to get his GED? A. By doing things that interest him. B. By writing himself encouraging words. C. By reporting his test results to his tutor. D. By reminding himself of his improvement. 7. What can we learn from Kevin’s story? A. Easy come, easy go. B. Grasp all, lose all. C. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. D. The early bird catches the worm. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7.

She said you would find grammar easy when you memorized them. I tried my best and finally succeeded. Then, grammar became easier, just as Joan had promised. In addition to singing the prepositions, she shared other useful language points. I still remembered her catchy phrase: “Good better best, never let it rest, until your good is better, and your better is best.” After high school, I went to college, majoring (主修) in — my parents couldn’t believe it — English! In a creative writing class in my junior year, I recited the prepositions for my professor and classmates. I explained how my eighth-grade teacher, Joan, had often said that a strategically placed prepositional phrase could add depth and variety to sentences. Impressed, my professor asked for a copy of Joan’s list and other tricks of the trade that I remembered. After graduating from college I landed a job teaching eighth-grade English. I tried best the way Joan had to make grammar easy. I started the unit with prepositions coming first. Memorization was the important part. Before long, the students were singing the prepositions to their favorite tunes. One year, since it was near Christmas, we all sang the prepositions to “Jingle Bells”. I also required students to recite the prepositions in ten seconds or less. If you thought that was impossible, then you didn’t know eighth graders. They welcomed any trouble, and with no homework as a motivator, they got right down to business. I pulled out a stopwatch and timed the students daily to judge their progress; 21, 16, 12, then bingo, 10 seconds! I taught eighth-grade English for thirty-eight years. Looking back, teaching English was a tough but worthwhile job, and I loved it every day. 8. Why did Joan ask her students to memorize prepositions? A. She wanted them to overcome their weak points. B. She thought this benefits their grammar learning. C. Memory exercises are a quick way to learn English. D. Prepositions are a hot part to be examined in exams. 9. What happened in the author’s creative writing class? A. He introduced his former teacher to his classmates. B. He showed everyone his ways of learning grammar C. His professor was interested in Joan’s teaching methods. D. His talent for being a teacher was recognized by his professor. 10. What is implied about the author’s students from Paragraph 5? A. They joined colorful after-class activities. B. They tried their best to avoid their homework. C. They sometimes failed to follow the author’s instructions. D. They made gradual progress in remembering the prepositions. 11. What can be inferred about the author? A. He was greatly influenced by Joan. B. He found his job full of challenges. C. He was very popular among his students. D. He devoted all his life to grammar teaching. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11.

(在我大学三年级的一门创意写作课上，我向教授和同学背诵了介词。我解释了八年级的老师琼是如何经常说，一个巧妙放置的介词短语可以给句子增加深度和多样性。教授印象深刻，向我要了一份琼的介词列表和我记得的其他教学技巧。)”可知，教授对于琼的教学方法很感兴趣，故选择C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“I also required students to recite the prepositions in ten seconds or less.

(我还要求学生们在十秒钟或更短的时间内背诵介词。如果你觉得这不可能，那你就不了解八年级的学生。他们喜欢任何挑战，而且因为没有家庭作业作为动力，他们立刻就开始认真学习了。我拿出一个秒表，每天给学生们计时，以评估他们的进步；21秒、16秒、12秒，然后成功了，10秒！)”可知，学生们在逐步进步，故选择D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“I tried best the way Joan had to make grammar easy.

Researchers discovered that people with only a few friends were at least as happy as those with far more if many of theirs were online. The number of “peripheral others”, someone connected with online — former classmates and coworkers, for example — had no connection with how satisfied they felt. Scientists did their study using data from two online surveys conducted on 1, 496 people by a non- profit research organization. People taking part in the study shared their ages, the make- up of their social networks, how often they had different types of social interactions, and their own feelings of well- being. They included details of how often and how they interacted with family or neighbours, and whether they included people who provided services for them in their networks. The number of close friends someone had was the only thing that influenced how satisfied they were with their social life. “Lonelines s has less to do with the number of friends you have, and more to do with how you feel about your friends, ” said Dr Bruine, an expert of the study. “If you feel lonely, it may be more helpful to make a positive connection with a friend than to try and seek out new people to meet. ” In the study, they found older people tended to have smaller social networks. Younger people's were larger but this was mostly made up of “peripheral others” — not true friends, just people they knew — and did not contribute to their happiness. Even variations in the number of family members or neighbours somebody spent time with did not affect how happy they were with their social life. Dr Bruine said her research echoed other findings showing people would be happier if a larger proportion of their online friends were actually their friends in reality. She added, “Stereotypes of aging tend to paint older adults in many cultures as sad and lonely. But the research shows that older adults’ smaller networks didn't weaken social satisfaction and well- being. In fact, older adults tend to report better well- being than younger adults.” 12. What has a good influence on one's happiness according to the study? A. Helping familiar coworkers. B. Meeting with close friends face to face. C. Maving impersonal networks of friends. D. Keeping in touch with family members online. 13. What did the 1, 496 people taking part in the study have to do? A. Keep off using the Internet. B. Show their attitudes to happiness. C. Reveal their social life thoroughly. D. Find “peripheral others” from their friends. 14. Who is more likely to be attacked by loneliness from the study? A. Parents living with their children. B. Young people without friends in reality. C. Older adults with fewer friends online. D. Those having fewer relatives or neighbours. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Social network size isn't linked to happiness. B. Larger social networks don't guarantee more happiness. C. Many online friends don't equal a few good real- life friends. D. Older adults tend to be more satisfied with their social lives. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了许多网络朋友并不等于现实生活中的几个好朋友。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Researchers discovered that people with only a few friends were at least as happy as those with far more if many of theirs were online. The number of “peripheral others”, someone connected with online — former classmates and coworkers, for example — had no connection with how satisfied they felt.”(研究人员发现，只有几个朋友的人和网上有很多朋友的人一样快乐。“边缘人”的数量和他们的满意度没有关系，比如网上的前同学和前同事)可推测，与亲密的朋友面对面的交流能增加一个人的幸福感。B. Meeting with close friends face to face. (与亲密的朋友面对面交流)符合以上推测，故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“People taking part in the study revealed their ages, the make-up of their social networks, how often they had different types of social interactions, and their own feelings of well-being. They included details of how often and how they interacted with family or neighbours, and whether they included people who provided services for them in their networks.”(参与人员要透露自己的年龄、社交网络构成、他们有多少不同类型的社交，以及他们自己的幸福感。其中包括他们与家人或邻居交往的频率和方式，以及他们石头将为他们提供服务的人包括在他们的社交网络中)可知，参与研究的1496个人要彻底透露他们的社交生活。C. Reveal their social life thoroughly. (完全彻底地透露他们的社交生活)符合以上说法，故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Loneliness has less to do with the number of friends you have, and more to do with how you feel about your friends,” (孤独与你身边朋友的数量没有关系，而和你对朋友的感觉关系更大)和第四段的Younger people’s were larger but this was mostly made up of“peripheral others”— not true friends, just people they knew — and did not contribute to their happiness. (年轻人的社交网络更大，但大都是“边缘人”组成，不是真正的朋友，只是他们认识的人，这不会提升他们的幸福感)可知，年轻人身边的朋友多，但不是真正的朋友，大多是边缘人。由此推测，现实生活中朋友很少的年轻人更容易觉得孤独。B. Young people without friends in reality. (现实生活中没有朋友的年亲人)符合以上推测，故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Having hundreds of friends online is no substitute (代替品) for a handful of close friends in real life.”（在网上拥有数百个朋友并不能代替现实生活中的少数亲密朋友）可知，短文介绍了许多网络朋友并不等于现实生活中的几个好朋友。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选山可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Everyone is shaped by the people and environment around them, but none so much as the family. For better or worse, our parents and other relatives have a great influence on our lives. ____16____ As we grow older, we may distance ourselves from them, but their influence remains. One of the most obvious ways the family shapes us is through genetics (遗传). We get our physical characteristics from our parents, like hair color and eye color. ____17____ We also get tendencies (偏好) and talents, such as a music al talent. Even though we can’t choose our genes, we can learn to accept the things that make us unique. Another way the family shapes us is through its experiences. From an early age, we learn the habits, beliefs, and values of our family members. ____18____ We may not share all the same views as our parents or grandparents, but their influence is still there. In many ways, this influence is even stronger than genes when it comes to who we become as people. ____19____ The way our parents treat us and each other has a huge influence on how we see the world and how we treat the people around us. If we grow up in a household where we’re shown love and respect, we are more likely to show love and respect to others. There’s no clear- cut answer to the question of nature or nurture (培养). ____20____ But many other factors (因素) also play a role. By understanding how our family shapes us, we can develop a deeper understanding of our own lives and relationships. A. But genetics goes beyond appearance. B. Finally, the family shapes us by example. C. This can help create a sense of pride within the family. D. In difficult times, our family is often the first place we turn to. E. Over time, these things become part of us whether we realize it or not. F. Our family plays an important role in how we develop as human beings. G. They are the first people we learn from and the ones we model ourselves after. 【答案】16. G 17. A 18. E 19. B 20.

Well, Ruby didn’t think she was. She sat next to Ollie and so she just copied him. This was the best way she had found to do maths and she didn’t have to think at all. One day the teacher said, “We will be having a maths test after lunch.” Ruby felt there were butterflies in the stomach. “Can I copy off you?” she whispered to Ollie. Ollie thought for a minute. “What will you give me?” he whispered back. Ruby showed Ollie a stone she had. It was round and smooth and the colour of the sea. “OK!” he said, “Give me the stone, and then you can copy my answers.” Ollie got full marks in the maths test and so did Ruby. Their names went on the top of the maths champion chart. Every week there was a maths test and every week Ollie and Ruby got full marks together. Ollie had to share the top place with Ruby, but it was worth it. He had a torch, a key chain, a golf ball and a gift box! One day, there was a maths test again. This time, Ruby picked a watch, thinking everything would go as usual—Ollie would let her copy and they would be on the top of the chart together again. But she was wrong. The headmaster came into Ruby’s class. “I want to see Ollie Simmons,” she said. Ollie was gone for a long time. Then the door opened. It was the headmaster again. “Ruby Riley,” she said, “Come with me, please.” Ruby felt like a bird in a cage—there was no way to escape. The headmaster told Ruby that every lunchtime for five weeks she had to do maths. “You have to learn to think for yourself,” she said. “And Ollie has to learn a lesson, too. He’s going to teach you.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Hanging her head down, Ruby felt so regretful for getting Ollie into trouble. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ollie proved to be a good teacher for Ruby. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Hanging her head down, Ruby felt so regretful for getting Ollie into trouble. She realized it was her fault that put them into such a shameful situation. “I am so sorry that I’d like to make a sincere apology to you.” Ruby said to Ollie with tears rolling down her cheeks. Hearing this, Ollie felt ashamed with his cheeks burning and said, “I should also take the responsibility for the matter. To make up for this fault, I will try my best to help you.” Ruby wiped her tears and was determined to spare no effort to learn maths with Ollie. Ollie proved to be a good teacher for Ruby. He was always ready to help whenever Ruby met with difficulties. As time went by, with the assistance of Ollie, Ruby gradually made great progress in maths. Eventually, they both got full marks in the final examination once again. The headmaster praised them for the progress they had made. It was at the moment that they really felt proud of themselves. What an unforgettable and meaningful experience, which taught them a lesson of honesty and true friendship. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ruby请求同桌Ollie在数学考试时让自己抄袭，并答应Ollie送他礼物，因此两人每周数学测验都获得了满分。校长发现他们考试抄袭这件事后，要求Ruby连续五周在午餐时间学习数学，并让Ollie帮助她。最终两人都凭借努力考取了满分也领悟了友谊的真谛。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Ruby低着头，很后悔给Ollie惹了麻烦”可知，第一段可描写Ruby道歉以及决心弥补。 ②由第二段首句内容“Ollie是Ruby的好老师”可知，第二段可描写Ruby在Ollie的帮助下，数学取得进步，最后两人都得了满分。 2.续写线索：Ruby后悔——Ruby羞愧——Ruby决心改变——Ollie帮助Ruby——两人获得满分——感悟 3词汇激活 行为类 道歉：make an apology/apologize 努力：spare no effort to /try one’s best to/ do one’s utmost 意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 真诚：sincere /heartfelt 难忘：unforgettable /memorable 【点睛】[高分句型1] I am so sorry that I’d like to make a sincere apology to you.
