Over cups of tea, she laid out the trip in military order-the Colosseum, Pompeii, Venice…By the time she was done I was exhausted, and 1 hadn’t even set foot outside the house. My way of travelling is different. I just pick a destination and then go there, leaving things to chance. This may not be for everybody, but leaping into the unknown, for me, has been great. Take Greenland, for example: 1 found myself in a tiny village of just 40 people, with no place to stay. The locals welcomed me warmly, and I enjoyed a delightful supper with an Inuit family, completed with fantastic stories never found in guidebooks. A few years back, driving through Iceland, I noticed an older woman sitting at a picnic table by a waterfall. I approached her, and asked if I could sit with her. She turned out to be a source of knowledge about the area, which we had all to ourselves, without a tourist in sight. Wandering in Trinidad, I got on a coastal ship. On the way, a young woman talked to me and gave me a tip for a visit to a hidden local restaurant with delicious and affordable food. There, I enjoyed the meal surrounded by the relaxing local music. As a teacher, I encourage my students to travel．Most of them have never gone outside; others even never left their hometown. In many cases, they express a sense of fear, of going someplace where they won’t know anybody. I try to remove their anxieties by sharing my own travel experiences, and the message that there are good people everywhere, and friendships are waiting to be started. I once read a piece about regrets that people expressed later in their lives. One that struck me was, “I wish I had taken more chances.” Setting off little planning does mean taking a risk, but for me, it is rewarding. 21. Why did the author mention her friend’s travel plan? A. To recommend some best spots in Italy. B. To express her unconcern of friend’s plan. C. To introduce her different way of traveling. D. To show her tiredness of making travel plans. 22. What can you learn from the author’s travel experiences? A. She visited a village with large population in Greenland. B. She learnt fascinating stories about Inuit from guidebooks. C. She saw the waterfall advised by an old woman in Iceland. D. She enjoyed a meal in a local hidden restaurant in Trinidad. 23. What mainly stops the author’s students from traveling? A. Their lack of money. B. Their fear of unfamiliar places. C. Their dislike of travelling abroad. D. Their inability to leave hometown. 24 What would be the best title for the passage? A Friendships Start in Trips B. A Man is Rewarded with Plans C. Travels Unprepared Bring Surprise D. Chances Favor the Focused Minds B Set 40 kilometers northeast of the city of Ambatondrazaka, Madagascar, the Zahamena National Park has overall land coverage of 643 square kilometers, but only about 420 square kilometers is open to the public. It receives an average rainfall level of around 6 feet every year and experiences frequent rain showers even during the dry season between April and October. And elevations (海拔) inside the park range from 250 to 1,560 meters, which has resulted in a diversity (多样性) of climates. One really interesting thing about the Zahamena National Park is its unique highland landform (高地地貌). The development of several ecosystems that all together exist within its area greatly depends on it. And this is also the reason why the types of wildlife living in one area of its wide range are different in another, which makes it quite exciting to explore. This protected region’s main area is divided into two parts: the eastern and western areas, with a separate piece of ground in the middle where many small villages are located. Zahamena means “red trees”, which suggests a tree species scientifically called Diatum unifoliatum. It lives only in Zahamena and is characterized by its typically deep reddish-orange color. Established as a strict natural highland habitat for nature conservation (保护) in 1927, the Zahamena National Park was officially awarded the honorary title of national park in 1997 and was finally opened to the public. Due to its amazing landform and unique local biodiversity, this national park was later listed as a key part of the Rainforests of the Atsinanana in 2007. Unluckily, there are no hotels or restaurants around the national park. So Zahamena is not an easy rainforest—this national park needs people with a high level of fitness and people with low requirements concerning accommodations. Everyone who is not discouraged by this will be able to expect an amazing rainforest experience in a location which has a small number of tourists. 25. What do we know about the Zahamena National Park? A. It is hard to reach due to conservation rules. B. It has changeable weather all year round. C. It has a great difference in elevations. D. It is famous for its traditional villages. 26. What has caused several ecosystems in the park? A. The complete food chain of wildlife there. B. The wet weather condition there. C. The conservation efforts there. D. The special landform there. 27. What is the Zahamena National Park most probably named after? A. A cultural belief. B. A local tree species. C. The unique geography. D. The local village group. 28. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to? A. The tough condition of Zahamena. B. People’s high level of fitness. C. Its geographical location. D. The diversity of climates. C In what they claim is a world first, researchers in Japan have developed chopsticks that artificially create the taste of salt, as part of efforts to reduce sodium (钠) levels in some of the country’s most popular dishes. The chopsticks work using electrical stimulation and a mini-computer worn on the eater’s wristband. The device transmits sodium ions from food, through the chopsticks, to the mouth where they create a sense of saltiness, says Homei Miyashita, a professor at Meiji University in Tokyo, whose laboratory collaborated with the food and drink manufacturer Kirin to develop the device. The team plan to improve the first design and hope to make the chopsticks available to consumers next year. The chopsticks could find a receptive audience in Japan, where the traditional diet tends to be high in salt due to the use of components such as miso and soy sauce. The average Japanese adult consumes about 10 grams of salt a day, double the amount recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). The health ministry has proposed reducing daily salt intake to a maximum of 7.5 grams for men and 6.5 grams for women. The chopsticks use “very weak electricity — not enough to affect the human body — to adjust the function of ions such as sodium chloride and sodium glutamate to change the perception of taste by making food seem to taste stronger or weaker”, Kirin said in a statement. Miyashita and Kirin said clinical tests on people who follow a low-sodium diet had confirmed that the device enhances the salty taste of low-sodium food by about 1.5 times. High salt intake can contribute to high blood pressure, the leading cause of heart attacks and strokes. “To prevent these diseases, we need to reduce the amount of salt we take,” said Kirin researcher Ai Sato. “If we try to avoid taking less salt in a conventional way, we would need to suffer the pain of cutting our favourite food from our diet, or suffer eating food with very little taste.” Miyashita’ s lab has also invented a lickable TV screen that imitates the flavours of various foods. 29. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us? A. How the chopsticks work. B. What the team plans to do. C. What the device is designed for. D. How a sense of saltiness is created. 30. What can be inferred from paragraph three? A. The chopsticks may be popular in Japan. B. The Japanese traditional diets are high in salt. C. The WHO advised an adult to take 2 0 grams of salt a day. D. A woman should eat at least 6.5 grams of salt everyday. 31. What is a direct result of the chopsticks according to clinical tests? A. Food can have stronger or weaker flavours. B Low-sodium food tastes saltier than it actually is. C. People are less likely to have heart attacks and strokes. D. We may not be able to eat our favourite food anymore. 32. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Japan conducts clinical tests on low-sodium diets B. Japanese high-tech salty chopsticks gain popularity C. Japan invents electronic chopsticks making food taste salty D. Japanese researchers reduce sodium levels in popular dishes 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to charge an electric vehicle (EV) is one of the biggest concerns people have when working out whether going electric is right for them. It is true that sometimes gaining access to reliable charging can seem a bit tricky. ___33___ First, download an app with a comprehensive map of the public charging points showing their locations, how powerful they are, and whether they’re working. All this is vital information because, even if you have public charging points nearby, you will need alternatives in case they’re in use. ___34___ A growing number of property owners are renting out their charging points and driveways to other local EV drivers when they’re not using them. ___35___ Thus, your car gets charged, the owners make money, and emissions are reduced. ___36___ For example, when your car is running out of juice, you’d just pull up to a battery-change station from your car brand and sit in the car while a fully charged unit is changed in. The Chinese EV brand Nio does this, but isn’t available in the UK as yet. For now, if charging access remains difficult for you, it’s still possible to go electric — in part. ___37___ Many hybrid (混合的) cars are now good for 50 miles of electric running before you need to use the engine. So, if most of your driving is local, you might only need to find a charger once or twice a week, while you have the backup of a fuel engine for long journeys. A. It actually worked out much cheaper. B. However, it may be easier than you think. C. There are also other innovative ways to get your EV going. D. A plug-in EV combines a petrol engine with a smaller battery. E. A “fast” charger usually takes eight hours to fully charge an EV. F. So you need to get a good feel for where your nearest points are. G. You can find a map of homeowners whose charging points are available. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分37.5分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The Last Lecture Randy Pausch was a professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University and one of the pioneers of virtual technology.

In this book, in an aspect of engineering, Randy told his kids that nothing is perfect, and they should learn to do their best with limited _____48_____ — you can’t control the cards you’ re _____49_____, but just how you play the hand — probably that is what Randy wanted to _____50_____ to his kids.

We had known each other since first grade, and we literally did everything together. We frequently visited each other’s homes, we knew each other’s families like they were our own. The interesting thing about our relationship, however the fact was that the older we got, the more our values seemed to differ. We still enjoyed a lot of the same things, but I was a bit more settled while she loved being associated with popular people and things. Although she was basically a good person, she had no problem with forcing things to go her way. Perhaps this is why it seemed that her family actually trusted me more than they trusted her. So, on the day when Missy showed up at my house with a huge dent (凹痕) in her father’s car, I knew that we were in for a troublesome time. She had banged the car into a tree while out that day, and she knew her father was going to have an explanation. So she stopped by my house in order to make up a story that would lessen her father’s rage. Missy decided to tell him that while in a parking lot, someone must have backed into the car and dented it. Looking at the dent with some crashed leaves and bark still sticking there, I attempted to perish (打消) her thought. “I don’t think your father will buy it.” “ Don’t worry,” she insisted,“even if my dad doesn’t trust me, he’ll trust you.” My role was to confirm for her. Now keep in mind that I had strong objections to lying and I wanted absolutely nothing to do with the situation. I loved her parents just like my own, and I did not want to be a party to this lie that Missy was creating. Nevertheless, after much request and a general questioning of my loyalty to our friendship, I decided that the least I could do was to act as a silent witness. That way, I wasn’t actually lying; I just wasn’t telling the full truth. 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。 Paragraph 1: An hour or so later, we presented Missy’s father with the car and the inquiry began. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Her father looked at me with great disbelief. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 长沙市第一中学2024—2025学年度高二第一学期期末考试 英语 时量：120分钟 满分：150分 得分：______ 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?

Thank you for your attention, and your prompt reply will be highly appreciated. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 （满分25分） 【69题答案】 【答案】An hour or so later, we presented Missy’s father with the car and the inquiry began. Under a barrage of inquiries, Missy recapped her concocted story unhurriedly, while I stood there in silent agreement. After Missy finishing her seemingly perfect statement, her father raised his eyebrows and turned to me, waiting for my proof. However, once again, I chose silence under his scrutinizing eyes with my heart pounding violently. Suddenly, he walked over to the dented area for a closer inspection. It was at that point that pieces of bark from the tree that Missy had hit fell out. Her father looked at me with great disbelief. An enormous sense of guilt rose up in me as his cold eyes seemed to proclaim me as the “guilty” bystander. I was so flustered that I wanted to explain but was interrupted by his harsh words, “You guys really failed me! Especially...” Instead of continuing his reproach, he took a deep breath and turned his back on me. It dawned on me that the precious but fragile trust had been smashed by my silence. In fact, the process of how we apologized to make amends was just a blur, but the bitter lesson of being a silent accomplice was branded on my memory. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
