B My initial exploration of the world of comic books happened through the comic strips in newspapers. It began with a fondness for Garfield and his adventures, and led to the discovery of a range of comic books like Champak and The Adventures of Tintin. They enabled me to enjoy myself in a world without iPads and the Internet ― just like so many of my friends who were fond of reading. While my access to comics as a child was limited to what was printed in the newspaper, this changed once I grew older and started visiting bookstores to buy the books that I wanted to read. Having grown up on a diet of image-heavy books, I found the idea of reading text-only novels quite formidable. As I searched for books that lay somewhere in between, I came across a copy of Bhimayana ― a graphic novel. It felt familiar due to its comic - like theme and design. Plus, understanding complex narratives through pictures was relatively easier and more fun. And so, as I grew older, I found myself transitioning towards graphic novels from childish comic books. Graphic novels dealt with serious topics in a more engaging manner. They would literally show me what was going on. For example, when I was reading Joe Sacco’s Palestine, I didn’t have to imagine the ruin caused by the Israeli - Palestinian conflict. I could actually see it while reading about it. Fast - forward a few years to when I was given a copy of Jonathan Bloomfield’s Palestine: A Novel. Though I was impressed by the compelling (扣人心弦的) nature of storytelling in his book, I am not sure if I would have been able to visualize and enjoy his text - only version so much had I not read Sacco’s Palestine first. Thanks to the graphic novel, I had a “picture” of whatever had happened, and that made it easier and more fun to understand the details of the overall story. From black and white strips and colorful comic books to illustrated graphic novels, this type of storytelling has come a long way. While my romance with comic books is still ongoing, in the long run, my love for graphic novels is more substantial and here to stay. 24. Why did the author turn to comic books as a child? A. He found comic books interesting. B. He had limited access to other books. C. He wanted to be different from his friends. D. He could relax from reading text - only books. 25. Which word can best explain the underlined word “formidable” in paragraph 2? A. Acceptable. B. Natural. C. Scary. D. Appealing. 26. What does the author say about reading Sacco’s Palestine? A. It encouraged him to read more text - only novels. B. It improved his understanding of Bloomfield’s book. C. It introduced him to a compelling style of storytelling. D. It changed his attitude to the Israeli - Palestinian conflict. 27. What does the author mainly talk about in the passage? A. Comic books are more than comics. B. Why he loves reading graphic novels. C. Why he turned to serious novels eventually. D. Picture books are here to stay for many reasons. C “Turn off, tune out and drop in.” That’s the message to customers at a Dutch digital detox (脱瘾治疗) cafe who are paying for the privilege of leaving their phones at the door. The Offline Club, which began life in Amsterdam, offers an oasis (乐土) of calm and pause from the constant digital busyness of life lived through the black glass of a smartphone. It creates moments of quiet reflection, and encourages conversations with strangers instead of endless keyboard arguments hammered out 280 characters at a time. With board games, a piano and books on hand, the idea is to swap recharging your device for refilling your soul, even for just a few hours. Aided by words spreading on social media, the club has already branched out to multiple cities across the Netherlands, and is now ready for an international launch. “People love it: they tell us this is exactly what they’ve been waiting for; they can’t believe it didn’t exist already,” says co - founder Ilya Kneppelhout. “A girl called Belinda who struggled with stress and anxiety told us she hadn’t felt so at peace with herself in a year and a half.” Customers switch between time to themselves and time to connect. “People don’t just pay to get rid of their phones—they’re also paying to meet others,” says Kneppelhout. “We live in quite an isolated world where we’re more connected online, but in the physical world, it’s hard to meet people.” He’s already had a group of digital downtime followers in the UK, where Georgina Sturmer, who has worked with clients experiencing over - dependence on phones, points out another benefit of a switched - off society. “We are constantly at risk of having every word or image captured and shared,” she says. “This sense of being endlessly photographed is something that has come with these devices being in our lives so much. Wouldn’t it be great to feel safe knowing it doesn’t matter if we’re having a bad hair day, or don’t really like our outfit?” 28. What can we know about the Dutch digital detox cafe? A. It is the first cafe in Amsterdam. B. Interaction among people is advocated. C. Only black smartphones are allowed there. D. Customers have to type 280 characters nonstop. 29. How did the cafe become more and more popular? A. By media’s advertising. B. By netizens’ commenting online. C. By employees’ handing out leaflets. D. By customers’ word - of - mouth promoting. 30. Why is Belinda mentioned in the third paragraph? A. To show the effect of the cafe. B. To explain the cause of her anxiety. C. To stress the seriousness of her situation. D. To introduce the problem of modern people. 31. What is Georgina Sturmer’s attitude towards the cafe? A. Ambiguous. B. Concerned. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful. D Shannon Brescher Shea’ s nine - year - old struggled with focus and following directions at home and at school. But after riding his bike, whether around the park or to school, he felt obviously calmer. “We call it moving meditation (冥想),” says Shea, who is a family biking advocate and author in Maryland. “We saw how incredibly helpful biking was for his focus, emotional regulation and ability to follow directions.” This experience isn’t unique. Research consistently shows that physical activity contributes to improving mental health. “Exercise, no matter your age, is the single best thing you can do for every organ in your body, including your brain,” says Allan Reiss, a professor and director of the Division of Interdisciplinary of Brain Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine. And while any exercise helps, a growing body of research shows bicycling is among the activities that might provide even more of a mental health boost. Scientists aren’t yet sure why, but it might have something to do with all the functional skills cyclists use. “You need to maintain your balance and process a lot of information from your environment, like deciding whether you can squeeze past a tree or how hard you need to brake,” says Reiss, “Most importantly, you’ve got to coordinate (协调), sense, process, integrate, regulate, and continually make decisions.” According to Reiss, “Research suggests that physical activity like cycling likely encourages new cell growth in areas of the brain linked to memory and problem - solving, and can support stronger connections between neurons (神经元), ultimately impacting memory and learning.” Luckily, it’s not too hard to get on a bike for most people. You should focus on the fun. To ensure riders don’ t get tired too quickly (or too bored), build in a fun stop rather than make the ride the single focus. Self - paced exploration and adventure are key to the ride. The benefits of cycling can multiply when it becomes a social project. In neighborhoods where bike lanes or other safe - to - ride pathways exist, organizing a group ride with friends might be just the ticket to less stressed, more relaxed individuals. 32. What does the author want to stress using Shea’s son’s example? A. Advantage of regular physical exercise. B. Positive effect of riding on mental health. C. Importance of leading a relaxing lifestyle. D. Possibilities that any disease can be cured. 33. Why does cycling boost mental health more according to Reiss? A. It needs better integrated coordination abilities. B. Its outdoor exposure helps improve the mood state. C. It needs repetitive movement to help calm the mind. D. Its sense of freedom and exploration helps mind grow. 34. What is the function of the quoted statement in paragraph 4? A. Presenting experiments. B. Explaining concepts. C. Providing evidence. D. Offering suggestions. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Cycling with partners is recommended. B. Nonstop cycling makes the most of the ride. C. Purchasing tickets for a group ride is essential. D. Bike lane construction is promoted by communities. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。 Misinformation and other attempts at misleading the public are common on social media. ___36___ · Never share a post without fact checking. This is especially true if it comes from a source you trust. If you want to spread the truth, you need to assume that other people aren’t perfect and may make mistakes. 37 · Look for the sources. Mainstream news is as good as the sources it relies on. Anonymous (匿名的) sources, or stories coming from only a single source are more suspect than stories with multiple sources of confirmation. ___38___ Many important leaks and stories have come from single anonymous sources. · Consider the story’s agenda. Stories are colored by the agendas of their writers. News organizations typically operate for money, and part of their brand (and thus their profits) lies in their accuracy. However, many news groups tailor their content to particular sections of customers, and thus are more likely to cover stories with a particular perspective. 39 Consequently, the stories are turned into preference with the preconceptions of their target audience. · 40 Injustices are things that make any ethical person upset or angry. A story that promotes emotion is not automatically false just because it arouses strong feelings. Unfortunately, cheaters know the power of emotion and use that tool in their work. Therefore, fact check before you share. A. Don’t view stories with caution. B. This can weaken their accuracy. C. It doesn’t mean that they are false. D. In this way you will be more cautious. E. Don’t discount stories that play to emotions. F. The following tips may help you surf the Internet safely. G. Here are some steps to take to separate yourself from misinformation. 第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Everyone needs comfort when they are in the process of recovering from a major health crisis.

But we were wrong. When we adopted Ray, a dog with a hurt that made him stop racing, things got tough. He retired due to the injury and quickly went to the adoption agency. Ray had no other place to go. Behind his sweet face hid a dark and damaged soul and an aggressive (好斗的) nature. Desperate to find him a home and not deliver him to the farm, the adoption agency rushed him to our door when we offered to adopt. Our experience with dogs and a home without other animals made us perfect candidates, and we were his best shot. Ray jumped around our house. He tried to understand the enormous world he now lived in, a strange one compared to the quarters he had known for so long. Adjustment would take time, but his inexperience, and apparently ours as well, made coexistence interesting. Patience and training with any new pet are important, but with Ray, they were vital. He didn’t listen to us, no matter how nice we were. He didn’t understand he was a pet with a name. He did not respond to commands, love, encouragement, or food. He had no idea what we expected of him. Like a creature from another planet, he had no concept of life in our world. Ray got really scared and would get angry when we left. In madness he scratched (抓, 挠) at windows and doors whenever we left the house. Concerned for his safety and the condition of our home, we locked him in a big wooden box. But he resisted and tried to escape. The stress we encountered flooded us. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右。 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Eight weeks after adopting Ray, we were ready to give up and send him back. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But the next morning, Ray suddenly seemed to understand us. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 呼和浩特市第一中学2024-2025学年度第一学期高二年级期末考试 英语试卷 第 13 页 共 13 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
