Having gone through years of hardships, the cottages have hardly been damaged (损坏). Therefore, they are seen as the finest-preserved group of traditional Hani ethnic architecture in Yuanyang county. Shibadong in Hunan Province Over the last ten years, Shibadong village, in the Xiangxi Tujia and Miao autonomous prefecture of Hunan province, has witnessed an amazing change. Once being a lonely and poor village, it has now developed into a modern community with better facilities, a rising tourism business, and an improved environment. Taoping in Sichuan Province Lying in a valley east of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Taoping village in Lixian county is a charming place with the wonderful heritage of the Qiang, one of China’ s oldest ethnic groups. The village owns one of the best-preserved ancient Qiang architectural complexes (建筑群). The Qiang stockaded village, as part of it, is a complete structure made up of 98 connected stone houses and two nine-story watchtowers. Xiaogang in Anhui Province Located in Fengyang county of East China, Xiaogang village attracts tourists because of its beautiful rural scenery, farming, rural reform (改革), and local customs. In 1978, 18 local farmers secretly signed an agreement to cultivate the collectively- owned land individually, marking an important milestone in China’s rural reform. Nowadays, tourists can visit the thatched hut where they signed the agreement, which has been listed as a national cultural heritage site. There is also an exhibition hall about China’s rural reform and its achievements. 1. In which villages mentioned in the passage are the ancient buildings best protected? A. Azheke and Shibadong. B.

Once being a lonely and poor village, it has now developed into a modern community with better facilities, a rising tourism business, and an improved environment.(在过去的十年里，湖南省湘西土家族苗族自治州十八洞村发生了惊人的变化。曾经是一个孤独贫穷的村庄，现在已经发展成为一个设施更好、旅游业兴旺、环境改善的现代化社区)”可知，湖南十八洞村在过去十年里在各个方面都经历了积极的变化。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章标题“More Chinese villages recognized as Best Tourism Villages by UNWTO(更多中国村庄被联合国世界旅游组织认定为最佳旅游乡村)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了四个被中国联合国世界旅游组织认定为最佳旅游乡村的中国村庄。由此推知，这篇文章的主要目的是介绍中国的一些最佳旅游乡村。故选B项。 B Thanksgiving Day was approaching. The first-grade teacher assigned her class an interesting task — to draw a picture of something they were grateful for. Most of the students came from economically challenged families, yet many would still celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional treats of the season. The teacher assumed these would be the main themes of her students’ artworks, and indeed they were. However, Douglas created a unique drawing. Douglas was an unusual boy. He was the teacher’s true child of misery, weak, and unhappy. While other kids were playing during break, Douglas tended to stand close to her side. One could only imagine the pain Douglas felt behind those gloomy eyes. His picture was indeed different. When asked to draw something he was thankful for, he drew a hand. Nothing more, just an empty hand. His abstract image sparked the curiosity of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was a farmer’s hand since farmers raise turkeys. Another proposed it was a police officer’s, as the police safeguard and care for people. The discussion continued until the teacher nearly forgot about the young artist himself. After the children moved on to other tasks, she stopped at Douglas’ desk, bent down, and asked whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and whispered, “It’ s yours, teacher.” She recalled the times when she had held his hand and accompanied him around, just like with the other students. How frequently had she said, “Take my hand, Douglas, we’ll go outside.” Or, “Let me teach you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was extremely grateful for his teacher’s hand. Wiping away a tear, she went on with her work. In fact, people may not always express “thanks”, but they’ll remember the hand that reaches out. 4. What were the main themes of most students’ artworks on Thanksgiving Day? A. Their families. B. Turkey and other traditional treats. C. Their holiday trips. D. Teachers’ hands. 5. Which is closest in meaning to “gloomy” in paragraph 2? A. Sad. B. Bright. C. Indifferent. D. Cheerful. 6. Why did Douglas draw a hand? A. He wanted to thank a farmer. B. He thought a police officer once helped him. C. He was grateful for his teacher’s company. D. He had no idea what else he could draw. 7. What is the main idea of this passage? A. The teacher’s influence on students. B. The importance of Thanksgiving Day. C. The different ways to celebrate Thanksgiving. D. A story about a special Thanksgiving drawing. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一年级的老师给她的班级布置了一个有趣的作业——画一幅他们感激的东西，Douglas画的一只手引发了同学们的讨论，最后得知这是老师的手。文章传达了感恩与关爱的主题。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“The teacher assumed these would be the main themes of her students’ artworks, and indeed they were. (老师以为这些是学生们作品的主题，事实也确实如此)”可知，这里的“these”指代前文提到的“turkey and other traditional treats of the season”，所以大多数学生感恩节画作的主题是火鸡和其他传统美食。故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段的“One could only imagine the pain Douglas felt behind those gloomy eyes. (人们只能想象Douglas那双gloomy的眼睛背后的痛苦)”可知，从“pain”一词可以推断出 Douglas的眼神是悲伤的，“gloomy”在这里意思是“忧郁的，悲伤的”和“Sad”意思相近。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“The little boy looked away and whispered, ‘It’ s yours, teacher.’ (小男孩把目光移开，小声说：‘这是你的，老师。’)”以及后文对老师拉着 Douglas的手陪他做各种事的描述可知， Douglas画一只手是因为他感激老师的陪伴。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In fact, people may not always express “thanks”, but they’ll remember the hand that reaches out. (事实上，人们可能并不总是说“谢谢”，但他们会记住伸出的手)”及全文内容可知，文章围绕 Douglas在感恩节画的一幅特别的画（画了一只手）展开，讲述了这幅画背后的故事，即他画老师的手是为了表达对老师陪伴的感激之情，D选项“一个关于感恩节特别的画的故事”可以概括本文的主旨。故选D。 C Recent studies clearly show that the shoes we put on every day, especially sneakers, have a big impact on our body posture and joint health. This is especially obvious in winter. The cold weather makes our joints more delicate and thus more likely to be affected. A revolutionary kind of shoes, the Glacia Barefoot shoes, has been created. It first became a great hit in Europe and then quickly became popular in America. These shoes are the result of the hard work of Canadian podiatrists. They had two main aims. One was to find ways to stop and reduce joint pain in patients. The other was to deal with many common foot problems. For example, bunions are painful swellings near the base of the big toe, calluses are thickened areas of skin, and plantar fasciitis is an inflammation on the bottom of the foot. After three years of development, they were introduced in the United States and got an immediate and warm response. The Glacia Barefoot shoes feature a minimalist design. They are much lighter than ordinary shoes and can be put on as easily as socks. They are also thin and flexible. The material used is an excellent insulator against the cold. When combined with the inner fur lining (内衬), it can protect feet even in extremely cold weather, as low as — 13°F. Athletes really like them because they are less heavy and more pleasant to wear than traditional sneakers. Elderly people also give them high praise. They say that these shoes have made them walk without pain again. Thanks to the unique design, these shoes can fit any foot shape perfectly. Unlike regular shoes and snow boots, they don’t compress or twist feet. This is very helpful in preventing joint pain in the feet, knees, hips and back. Often, this kind of joint pain is caused by bad body posture due to wearing the wrong shoes. Moreover, it can effectively prevent a variety of foot conditions, such as hallux valgus, calluses, corns, plantar fasciitis, flat feet and high arches. In general, these shoes offer a new option for people to take care of their foot health and maintain good body posture. 8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To tell us the function of sneakers. B. To introduce the topic of the passage. C. To stress the seriousness of joint pain. D. To inform us how cold weather influences our health. 9. Where did the Glacia Barefoot shoes first gain remarkable success? A. In America. B. In Canada. C. In Europe. D. In Asia. 10. What were the main aims of the Canadian podiatrists in creating the Glacia Barefoot shoes? A. To make a lot of money and become famous. B. To increase the speed and strength of athletes. C. To relieve joint pain and handle common foot problems. D. To change the present fashion tendency of ordinary shoes. 11. Why are the Glacia Barefoot shoes popular among sportsmen? A. Because they have inner fur linings. B. Because they can improve their performance. C. Because they are lighter and more comfortable. D. Because they can reduce their foot pain. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Glacia Barefoot鞋的革命性设计及其对人体姿态和关节健康的影响。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Recent studies clearly show that the shoes we put on every day, especially sneakers, have a big impact on our body posture and joint health. This is especially obvious in winter. The cold weather makes our joints more delicate and thus more likely to be affected.( 最近的研究清楚地表明，我们每天穿的鞋子，尤其是运动鞋，对我们的身体姿势和关节健康有很大的影响。这在冬天尤其明显。寒冷的天气使我们的关节更脆弱，因此更容易受到影响。)”可知，主要讲述了日常穿的鞋子，尤其是运动鞋，对我们的身体姿势和关节健康有很大的影响，特别是在冬天，寒冷天气使关节更加脆弱，更容易受到影响。这些内容实际上是在为后文介绍的Glacia Barefoot鞋做铺垫，引出文章的主题。因此，第一段的目的是引入文章的主题，即介绍一种新型的、对人体有益的鞋子。选项B“To introduce the topic of the passage.(引入文章的主题)”符合题意。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“A revolutionary kind of shoes, the Glacia Barefoot shoes, has been created. It first became a great hit in Europe and then quickly became popular in America. (一种革命性的鞋子，Glacia Barefoot鞋，已经被创造出来。它首先在欧洲大获成功，然后迅速在美国流行起来。)”可知，Glacia Barefoot鞋首先在欧洲取得了显著的成功。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“These shoes are the result of the hard work of Canadian podiatrists. They had two main aims. One was to find ways to stop and reduce joint pain in patients. The other was to deal with many common foot problems. (这些鞋子是加拿大足科医生辛勤工作的结果。他们有两个主要目标。一是找到方法来停止和减少患者的关节疼痛。另一个是处理许多常见的足部问题。)”可知，加拿大足科医生创造Glacia Barefoot鞋的主要目的是缓解关节疼痛和处理常见的足部问题。因此，选项C“To relieve joint pain and handle common foot problems. (缓解关节疼痛和处理常见的足部问题)”符合题意。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Athletes really like them because they are less heavy and more pleasant to wear than traditional sneakers. (运动员们真的很喜欢它们，因为它们比传统的运动鞋更轻，穿着更舒适。)”可知，Glacia Barefoot鞋在运动员中很受欢迎是因为它们更轻、更舒适。故选C。 D If you think English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the earlier people learn a second language, the greater the effect is. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London (UCL), took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals (通两种语言的人)”, who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was. “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.” The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the earlier they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists. 12. What is grey matter according to the passage? A. Information. B. Material of the brain. C. Muscles. D. Brain power. 13. Based on the passage, which of the following is TRUE about the groups in the UCL study? A. The “early bilinguals” had the least grey matter density. B. The Britons only speaking English had no grey matter density change. C. The earlier one learns a second language, the more grey matter changes. D. Learning a second language has nothing to do with grey matter. 14. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. Learning a second language can widen people’ s views. B. It is not a challenge for people to learn a second language. C. The research on the Italians doesn’t agree with other findings. D. Age has no influence on learning a second language. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards learning a second language? A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了学习第二语言可以增加大脑能力，提高智力水平。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.(研究人员发现，学习其他语言会改变大脑灰质。这是大脑中处理信息的区域。这与锻炼肌肉的方式类似。)”可知，灰质是大脑中处理信息的区域，所以灰质是大脑的一部分物质。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“The study also found the earlier people learn a second language, the greater the effect is. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London (UCL), took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals (通两种语言的人)”, who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. (研究还发现，人们越早学习第二语言，效果就越大。伦敦大学学院 (UCL) Andrea Mechelli 博士领导的团队招募了一群只会说英语的英国人。他们与一组五岁之前学习第二语言的“早期双语者”以及一些后来学习的人进行了比较。扫描显示，双语者的大脑灰质密度比不会第二语言的人更高。)”可知，在伦敦大学学院(UCL)的研究中，学习第二语言的年龄越早，灰质的变化就越大。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,(掌握两种语言给了你两扇看世界的窗户，使大脑更加灵活，)”和最后一段“Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,(学习一门语言意味着你获得了进入另一个世界的入口，)”可推知，学习第二语言可以拓宽人们的视野。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“If you think English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?(如果你认为英语意味着无穷无尽的新单词、复杂的语法和有时奇怪的发音，那你就错了。自从你开始学习一门语言以来，难道你没有注意到自己变得更聪明了吗？)”及最后一段“Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,(学习一门语言意味着你获得了进入另一个世界的入口，)”可知，作者认为学习第二语言是有益的，对学习第二语言持积极态度。故选B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出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Movies and TV shows would have you believe that friendships just develop effortlessly.

In my mind I immediately thought of a nice log cabin, a warm fireplace with burning flames, cups of hot cocoa giving out steam, and comfortable beds. Little did I know that my pleasant imagination was going to be broken. When Aiden and his elder brother, Lebron, showed up in a truck full of all kinds of camping things - big tents, tightly rolled sleeping bags, strong canteens, flashlights and compasses (指南针), I was really surprised. Of course, I had packed a backpack as I was told, but this was obviously not the easy camping I had expected. It looked more like a tough survival trip! Lebron, who was always efficient, was very serious and hurried us to get into the truck so that we could leave the noisy city. As we got closer to the mountains, I couldn’t help noticing that they looked much bigger and scarier than I imagined. The trees were very tall and the whole environment made me a little afraid. At the beginning of the trail, Lebron skillfully tied a sleeping bag to my pack and gave Aiden and me a serious talk about how to behave when hiking to camp. The first part of the path was like a road in the woods, which made the climbing seem easy at first. But soon, it became narrower and steeper, forcing me to focus all my attention on it and stop talking. As we climbed higher, we got above the trees and I could see the path winding up the mountain. Just as we were making good progress, disaster approached. Out of nowhere, a thick fog rolled in, quickly enveloping us. Visibility dropped to almost zero, and I could hardly see my own feet. 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。 Panic started to wash over me in waves. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When we finally reached the camping site on the mountain top, my legs were hurting badly. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文一 Panic started to wash over me in waves. My heart beat wildly and I cried loudly, “What on earth should we do? Will we be lost forever?” Aiden grasped my arm tightly, his eyes wide with fear too. But Lebron stayed calm, his voice steady as he said, “Don’t panic. Follow me closely.” He took out a compass and led the way slowly, feeling the ground with his feet. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down, following his steps and moving on. When we finally reached the camping site on the mountain top, my legs were hurting badly. But the moment I saw the magnificent view, all the pain disappeared. As darkness fell, we set up the tents and lit a fire. The crackling flames warmed our bodies as we crowded together, sharing not only stories and laughter but also a newfound bond. This trip taught me that the journey might be tough, but with friends by our side, we can overcome any difficulty and find beauty in the most unexpected places. True friendship is the compass that guides us through life’ s foggy paths. 参考范文二 Panic started to wash over me in waves. My heart beat violently as I thought of the countless horror stories set in foggy mountains. “What if we can’t find our way back and are trapped here forever?” I asked anxiously, my voice trembling. Lebron patted my shoulder firmly, “Stay calm. The compass is our reliable guide. We’ll be okay.” His confident words steadied my nerves. We inched forward with care, the thick fog cold and wet against our faces, but a ray of hope kept us going on. When we finally reached the camping site on the mountain top, my legs were hurting badly. Yet, as I looked out at the vast stretch of mountains and valleys below, all the pain seemed to fade away quickly. Aiden grinned, “We made it! It was all worth it!” As darkness set in, we set up our tents, lit a fire and shared stories happily. To be honest, I was longing for a hot shower and a soft bed, but as I gazed at the crackling flames and the starry sky above, I knew this was an adventure I would never forget. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Aiden邀请作者一同前往山区露营，作者幻想这次旅行会包含温馨的小木屋、壁炉、热巧克力和舒适的床铺，然而，当Aiden和他的哥哥Lebron带着满载装备的卡车出现时——大帐篷、睡袋、水壶、手电筒和指南针，作者意识到这将是一次考验生存能力的艰难旅程，随着接近山脉，起初还比较宽广山路，很快变得狭窄险峻，正当作者他们顺利前进时，浓雾突然降临。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“恐慌开始席卷我的全身。”可知，第一段可描写作者他们遇到浓雾后的心理状态以及接下来又是谁带领大家最终走出浓雾到达露营地的。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我们终于到达山顶露营地时，我的腿疼得厉害。”可知，第二段可描写作者到达露营地后如何享受露营生活的以及作者对此经历的感悟。 2.续写线索：浓雾降临——恐慌——Lebron带领前行——达到露营地——享受露营——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓着：grasped/catch/grab/seize ②深呼吸：took a deep breath/breathe deeply ③搭建：set up/put up 情绪类 ①害怕：with fear/ wide in alarm/filled with panic/frightenedly 【点睛】[高分句型1] He took out a compass and led the way slowly, feeling the ground with his feet.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] But the moment I saw the magnificent view, all the pain disappeared.（运用了the moment引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型3] True friendship is the compass that guides us through life’ s foggy paths.（运用了that引导的限制性定语从句） 听力1-20BCCBAACCCAACBBACCBBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024年高一第一学期期末质量检测考试 英语 时量:120分钟 满分: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 gone through years of hardships, the cottages have hardly been damaged (损坏). Therefore, they are seen as the finest-preserved group of traditional Hani ethnic architecture in Yuanyang county. Shibadong in Hunan Province Over the last ten years, Shibadong village, in the Xiangxi Tujia and Miao autonomous prefecture of Hunan province, has witnessed an amazing change. Once being a lonely and poor village, it has now developed into a modern community with better facilities, a rising tourism business, and an improved environment. Taoping in Sichuan Province Lying in a valley east of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Taoping village in Lixian county is a charming place with the wonderful heritage of the Qiang, one of China’ s oldest ethnic groups.

The Qiang stockaded village, as part of it, is a complete structure made up of 98 connected stone houses and two nine-story watchtowers. Xiaogang in Anhui Province Located in Fengyang county of East China, Xiaogang village attracts tourists because of its beautiful rural scenery, farming, rural reform (改革), and local customs. In 1978, 18 local farmers secretly signed an agreement to cultivate the collectively- owned land individually, marking an important milestone in China’s rural reform.

The first-grade teacher assigned her class an interesting task — to draw a picture of something they were grateful for. Most of the students came from economically challenged families, yet many would still celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional treats of the season. The teacher assumed these would be the main themes of her students’ artworks, and indeed they were. However, Douglas created a unique drawing. Douglas was an unusual boy. He was the teacher’s true child of misery, weak, and unhappy. While other kids were playing during break, Douglas tended to stand close to her side. One could only imagine the pain Douglas felt behind those gloomy eyes. His picture was indeed different. When asked to draw something he was thankful for, he drew a hand. Nothing more, just an empty hand. His abstract image sparked the curiosity of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was a farmer’s hand since farmers raise turkeys. Another proposed it was a police officer’s, as the police safeguard and care for people. The discussion continued until the teacher nearly forgot about the young artist himself. After the children moved on to other tasks, she stopped at Douglas’ desk, bent down, and asked whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and whispered, “It’ s yours, teacher.” She recalled the times when she had held his hand and accompanied him around, just like with the other students. How frequently had she said, “Take my hand, Douglas, we’ll go outside.” Or, “Let me teach you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was extremely grateful for his teacher’s hand. Wiping away a tear, she went on with her work. In fact, people may not always express “thanks”, but they’ll remember the hand that reaches out. 4. What were the main themes of most students’ artworks on Thanksgiving Day? A. Their families. B. Turkey and other traditional treats. C. Their holiday trips. D. Teachers’ hands. 5. Which is closest in meaning to “gloomy” in paragraph 2? A. Sad. B. Bright. C. Indifferent. D. Cheerful. 6. Why did Douglas draw a hand? A. He wanted to thank a farmer. B. He thought a police officer once helped him. C He was grateful for his teacher’s company. D. He had no idea what else he could draw. 7. What is the main idea of this passage? A. The teacher’s influence on students. B. The importance of Thanksgiving Day. C. The different ways to celebrate Thanksgiving. D. A story about a special Thanksgiving drawing. C Recent studies clearly show that the shoes we put on every day, especially sneakers, have a big impact on our body posture and joint health. This is especially obvious in winter. The cold weather makes our joints more delicate and thus more likely to be affected. A revolutionary kind of shoes, the Glacia Barefoot shoes, has been created. It first became a great hit in Europe and then quickly became popular in America. These shoes are the result of the hard work of Canadian podiatrists. They had two main aims. One was to find ways to stop and reduce joint pain in patients. The other was to deal with many common foot problems. For example, bunions are painful swellings near the base of the big toe, calluses are thickened areas of skin, and plantar fasciitis is an inflammation on the bottom of the foot. After three years of development, they were introduced in the United States and got an immediate and warm response. The Glacia Barefoot shoes feature a minimalist design. They are much lighter than ordinary shoes and can be put on as easily as socks. They are also thin and flexible. The material used is an excellent insulator against the cold. When combined with the inner fur lining (内衬), it can protect feet even in extremely cold weather, as low as — 13°F. Athletes really like them because they are less heavy and more pleasant to wear than traditional sneakers. Elderly people also give them high praise. They say that these shoes have made them walk without pain again. Thanks to the unique design, these shoes can fit any foot shape perfectly. Unlike regular shoes and snow boots, they don’t compress or twist feet. This is very helpful in preventing joint pain in the feet, knees, hips and back. Often, this kind of joint pain is caused by bad body posture due to wearing the wrong shoes. Moreover, it can effectively prevent a variety of foot conditions, such as hallux valgus, calluses, corns, plantar fasciitis, flat feet and high arches. In general, these shoes offer a new option for people to take care of their foot health and maintain good body posture. 8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To tell us the function of sneakers. B To introduce the topic of the passage. C. To stress the seriousness of joint pain. D. To inform us how cold weather influences our health. 9. Where did the Glacia Barefoot shoes first gain remarkable success? A. In America. B. In Canada. C. In Europe. D. In Asia. 10. What were the main aims of the Canadian podiatrists in creating the Glacia Barefoot shoes? A. To make a lot of money and become famous. B. To increase the speed and strength of athletes. C. To relieve joint pain and handle common foot problems. D. To change the present fashion tendency of ordinary shoes. 11. Why are the Glacia Barefoot shoes popular among sportsmen? A. Because they have inner fur linings. B. Because they can improve their performance. C. Because they are lighter and more comfortable. D. Because they can reduce their foot pain. D If you think English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the earlier people learn a second language, the greater the effect is. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London (UCL), took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals (通两种语言的人)”, who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was. “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.” The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the earlier they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists. 12.

It is not a challenge for people to learn a second language. C. The research on the Italians doesn’t agree with other findings. D. Age has no influence on learning a second language. 15.

In my mind, I immediately thought of a nice log cabin, a warm fireplace with burning flames, cups of hot cocoa giving out steam, and comfortable beds. Little did I know that my pleasant imagination was going to be broken. When Aiden and his elder brother, Lebron, showed up in a truck full of all kinds of camping things - big tents, tightly rolled sleeping bags, strong canteens, flashlights and compasses (指南针), I was really surprised. Of course, I had packed a backpack as I was told, but this was obviously not the easy camping I had expected. It looked more like a tough survival trip! Lebron, who was always efficient, was very serious and hurried us to get into the truck so that we could leave the noisy city. As we got closer to the mountains, I couldn’t help noticing that they looked much bigger and scarier than I imagined. The trees were very tall and the whole environment made me a little afraid. At the beginning of the trail, Lebron skillfully tied a sleeping bag to my pack and gave Aiden and me a serious talk about how to behave when hiking to camp. The first part of the path was like a road in the woods, which made the climbing seem easy at first. But soon, it became narrower and steeper, forcing me to focus all my attention on it and stop talking. As we climbed higher, we got above the trees and I could see the path winding up the mountain. Just as we were making good progress, disaster approached. Out of nowhere, a thick fog rolled in, quickly enveloping us. Visibility dropped to almost zero, and I could hardly see my own feet. 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。 Panic started to wash over me in waves. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When we finally reached the camping site on the mountain top, my legs were hurting badly. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-20BCCBAACCCAACBBACCBBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
