The total number of cicadas could reach a trillion， according to the University of Connecticut. The two broods are periodical， meaning they only come above ground once every few years. Brood XII， or the Northern Ilinois Brood， surfaces every 17 years. Brood XIX (the Great Southern Brood) ， which appears every 13 years， will join this spring. This year marks the first time the two broods have appeared in the same year since 1803. It won't happen again for another 221 years. Shaped like small candy bars with transparent wings， cicadas make up more than 3， 000 species. Females typically lay eggs in tree branches， and after a few months， the young cicadas hatch and hide underground. They feed on liquids from tree roots and resurface once mature to lay their eggs. They tunnel from underground， molt(蜕皮) after they come out， and then start searching for a mate. Males make a buzzing sound to attract mates while the females clap their wings in response to the males' mating calls. After mating， the females lay their eggs and the cycle starts again. While annual cicadas appear every year， periodical broods are only found in certain years and wait until the soil temperature reaches 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Scientists have theorized that by coming out in large numbers all at once， cicadas make it harder for predators to consume them all， increasing the chances of survival for individuals and the continuity of their species. Researchers also think they understand how cicadas know when another year has passed-the tree they drink gets richer in amino acids once a year when it blossoms. However， they dont know ex a et ly how cicadas track this change in amino acid levels. Martha Weiss， an insect ecologist at Georgetown University， said， “We know that's what they count； where they're putting their litle chalk marks on the wall and how they're keeping track of it， we still don't know." 24. What gets the two broods of cicadas unusual? A. They mainly live underground. B.They tured up in the same year. C.They both emerge every 13 years. D. They both hardly surface in spring. 25. What does paragraph 3 mostly show us about cicadas? A.Their eating habits. B.Their life cycle. C.Their various types. D. Their molting behavior. 26. Why do cicadas sometimes appear in large numbers? A.To protect their eggs from predators. B.To search for a new habitat to live in. C. To ensure the survival of their species. D.To collect food for the upcoming year. 27. How might cicadas detect the time passing? A.By tracking the movements of other insects. B.By sensing the temperature changes of the soil. C.By marking the growth of trees with little chalk. D.By noticing changes in a certain acid of the trees. 高一英语试卷第4页(共10页) C Many concepts that are central to the human experience are abstract， such as relationships， ideas， and time-things we can't directly see or touch. We commonly use concrete language to talk and think about these things， often through metaphors(隐喻) . Using metaphors is far more than a poetic device of factual statements. A study conducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people's perspectives， thus shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions. For example， describing the effort to stop climate change as a“war”rather than a “race”caused people to feel more urgency about reducing emissions. Another example is the lightbulb(灯泡) metaphor commonly used to describe new ideas， suggesting that new thoughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned on. However， this metaphor proves that new ideas come effortlessly and are accessible only to a select few geniuses， such as Isaac Newton， who supposedly developed his theory of gravity from a sudden insight about a falling apple. It may lead people to question their capability to have new ideas， and as a behavioral result， people may overlook the role of hard work and constant learning in bringing about change. An alternative way to describe ideas is by comparing new thoughts to seeds that fall on fertile ground and- if cared for-will grow and develop over time. Different from the lightbulb metaphor， the seed metaphor shows an understanding that creating new ideas is a laborious process， which requires time and effort. It also suggests that anybody can be the cultivator of ideas as long as they put their mind to it. The effects of metaphors show how powerful language can be， even though we of ten don't realize it. Who'd have thought a simple use of a lightbulb metaphor could affect how we understand the concept of innovation? Given the nature of our metaphorical minds， it is worth asking： are our metaphors suitable? We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately. These choices-conscious or not-can be constructive or destructive. 28. What can we learn about metaphors from the first two paragraphs? A. They can frame people's behaviors. B.They can make language more poetic. C.They may develop people's viewpoints. D.They may use abstract language more often. 29. What does the underlined word “overlook" in paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Under value. B. Emphasize. C.Recognize. D. Acknowledge. 30. What does the seed metaphor differ from the lightbulb metaphor? A.The importance of natural talent. B.The people's doubt about creativity. C.The process of producing new ideas. D. The continuous efforts of individuals. 31. What is the author's att tude towards using metaphors? A.Negative. B.Careful. C.Favorable. D.Respectful. 高一英语试卷第5页(共10页) D A we(敬畏) experiences are typically connected with the perception(感知) of something incredibly vast or powerful. These are often related with nature-such as looking at a broad view of mountains or up at the billions of stars in the night sky.“A we is the feeling of being in the presence of something vast that goes beyond your understanding of the world， ”said Dac her Kelter， a psychologist at the University of California， Berkeley. At the University of Chicago's Human Nature and Potential s Lab， research has shown that children over the age of four can perceive and respond to a we-inspiring experiences. This early sense of a we influences their motivation for learning and self-perception. When exposed to a we-inspiring visuals， such as vast natural scenes or natural disasters， children feel a“small self”compared to their feelings after viewing everyday nature imagery， which makes them more motivated to explore things that interest them and to understand things in the world that they had n't learned much about yet. While a we is a highly personal experience， evidence suggests that it has significant social effects. In one experiment， participants who were asked to stand staring at tall trees for a minute were more likely to help others than those who looked at a building， suggesting that being in an a we-inspiring environment increases morality and reduces feelings of self-centeredness. “This is especially critical in the age of social media， ”said Dr. Keltner.“We are at this cultural moment of self-center， criticism， and entitlement(优越感) ； a we gets us out of that. It does this by helping us get out of our own heads and realize our place in the larger context， our communities， ”he explained.“Might a we cause people to become more invested in the greater good， giving more to charly， volunteering to help others， or doing more to reduce their impact on the environment? Our research would suggest that the answer is yes. " 32. What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A. The definition of a we experiences. B.The effect of nature on perception. C.The ways of understanding nature. D.The significance of a we experiences. 33. What do we know about children who experience a we? A.They may lose confidence in themselves. B.They tend to perform better in their studies. C.They will know more about natural disasters. D.They are more interested in exploring the world. 34. What can be inferred about a we according to Dr. Kelter? A.It can improve people's physical health. B.It has a positive impact on people's behavior. C. It encourages us to reflect on our culture. D.It assists people to shape their critical thinking. 35. Which would be a suitable title for the text? A. A we Perception in Early Childhood. B.A we's Role in the Age of Social Media. C. The Power of A we Drives Us Out of Self-center. D.A we-Inspiring Experiences Push People to Learn. 高一英语试卷第6页(共10页) 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能填人空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many animals move from one place to another at certain times of the year. This annual movement is called migration.36 . One of the most wonderful migrations in nature is that of the North American monarch butterfly. Every autumn， millions of these beautiful insects with fine black and orange wings begin a long and difficult journey. Somehow they manage to travel around 4， 000 kilometres south and find their way to California or Mexico. 37 . A team of scientists led by Professor Eli Sh liz erman at the University of Washington has now found the answer.38 . It uses its eyes to measure the position of the sun. These two pieces of information-the time of day and the point where the sun is in the sky-allow the butterfly to determine the way to go. Eventually， it manages to reach the places where it will spend the winter. 39 . Its population has crashed by as much as 90 per cent in the last few years. Sadly， human activity is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflies is falling. In many of the places where the butterfly can be found， people are destroying the natural environment. They cut down trees and use chemicals that kill the plants that monarch caterpillars(毛虫) eat. 40 . People have been working together to record its migration and make sure that there are enough plants for it to feed on. If this works， there may come a time when the number of monarch butterflies increases once again. The more we know about this lovely creature， the greater the chance it will survive and keep its place in the natural world for a long time to come. A.However， until recently no one knew how they did this. B.They have found out that the monarch is able to tell the time of day. C.They migrate to find food， seek a parter， or in search of warmer weather. D.In recent years it has become ever more apparent that monarch butterflies are in rapid decline. E.The research on the monarch's behavior has however led to a greater aware nes of this creature. F.The solution to the mystery of the monarch's amazing ability comes at a time when it is in serious trouble. G.The entire journey happens in a few weeks as monarchs flock to the sky for their unbelievable migration. 高一英语试卷第7页(共10页) 第三部分语言运用(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A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Leaving to travel around the world was simply the best decision of our lives!
