B When I turned 18, I joined the swim team, which was a big team that included fifty members. As someone who suffered from social anxiety, I was a bit worried about the team size. I would like to stay unnoticed and have someone else be the center. We started practice and we were off for our first competition. I was given freestyle for my first event. Then, over time, I was given other strokes (游法) like the butterfly, breaststroke, and backstroke. I remember the backstroke giving me some anxiety because, unless I timed the turn just right, I would always hit my head against the far wall of the pool. But what gave me the most trouble was the Individual Medley, which was an event that required performing all four strokes in a specific order. I couldn’t get the pacing (节奏) right for the longest time and kept mixing up the strokes. It took me a long time, but I finally got the hang of it. Admittedly, I lost my cool, but I was never turned away when it was my turn to hit the water. My family and team would cheer from the sidelines, and I still believe that support gave me the courage to keep swimming. By the end of the season, my records were 47.35 seconds for the 50 FLY(Butterfly), 41.4 seconds for the 50 BACK(Backstroke), and 58.52 seconds for the 50 BREAST (Breaststroke). As I said, I was by far not the fastest, but I had a coach and team that supported me and meant the world to me. Finally, I got stronger and learned to pace myself and take deep breaths timely during my events. And I learned to work hard with others to achieve a shared goal, and that is something I believe everyone should learn. 4. What’s about the author’s feeling in Paragraph 1? A. She was comfortable in a big team. B. She was eager to be the team center. C. She was happy to be a common player. D. She was nervous about turning 18. 5. What difficulty did the author have in the Individual Medley? A. Timing the turns correctly. B. Managing her breaths timely. C. Avoiding hitting her head against the wall. D. Performing all four strokes in the right order. 6. What was the author able to do by the end of the season? A. Win a competition. B. Improve her records. C. Beat all her teammates. D. Become the team captain. 7. What did the author learn from her experience? A. Being the fastest was a must for her. B. Working well with a team really mattered. C. Focusing only on herself could be very useful. D. Avoiding swimming with teammates relaxed her. C In many stories, wolves are often considered as cruel and scary villains (反派), such as in “The Boy Who Cried Wolf,” “Little Red Riding Hood,” and “The Three Little Pigs.” However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Around 150 years ago, wolves were common across North America. When settlers arrived, they feared that wolves would threaten humans, livestock (家畜), and natural resources. As a result, a campaign was started to wipe out wolves, resulting in the last grey wolf pack in Yellowstone National Park being killed in 1926. In reality, wolves rarely attack humans. Biologists studying these animals in the wild have noted that when approached, adult wolves will leave the area and only return after the researchers have left. The over-hunting of wolves destroyed the natural ecosystem, leading to harmful effects on other species. For instance, the absence of wolves led to a rapid increase in their prey(猎物), such as elk(驼鹿). These plant-eaters started eating the specific trees that beavers(河狸) relied on for building dams. Without enough wood for dam construction, especially during winter, the beaver population decreased. 48 years after the last wolf pack was hunted in Yellowstone, the ecosystem was struggling. The grey wolf was reintroduced with the help of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service, environmental organizations, zoos, and private citizens. The reintroduction of wolves has already led to positive changes in the ecosystem. Beaver dams have multiplied(成倍增加), vegetation is growing, and remains left by wolves feed smaller animals in the wild. Next time you hear of villainous wolves in stories, remember that they play an important role in keeping the natural balance. Their hard work ensures the circle of life continues, and their presence is a must for a healthy ecosystem. 8. Why does the author refer to three stories? A. To stress a misunderstanding of wolves. B. To list the importance of telling stories. C. To prove wolves are cruel in literature. D. To show wolves have changed over time. 9. What can be inferred from the biologists’ research on wolves? A. They attack humans in the wild. B. They prefer to live in urban areas. C. They avoid interacting with humans. D They are naturally harmful to humans. 10 What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The limited food resources for wolves. B. The reasons for the extinction of wolves. C. The biological influences of wolf extinction. D. The studies about the living habits of wolves. 11. What happens with the grey wolves reintroduced? A. Animals in the wild decrease in number. B. Organizations work together more closely. C. The wolves are still struggling for their life. D. The ecosystem begins to recover gradually. D Researchers at Rice University have offered a new idea to help cities deal with climate change. According to their study, creating networks of “sister cities” can help reduce the damage caused by climate change and natural disasters. The study, published in the journal Nature and led by Professors Cymene Howe and Dominic Boyer, explores how “sister cities” — long-term and broad connections between similar-sized communities in two different countries — can be beneficial. The first Sister Cities International Program began after World War II and traditionally focused on social and political factors such as trade relationships and diplomacy (外交). However, Professors Howe and Boyer believe that these connections can be powerful tools for helping people deal with climate change, especially as cities face issues like wildfires and extreme storms. They suggest forming a network called “Sister Cities for the Anthropocene” to raise awareness about climate-related disasters in urban communities around the world. Howe explains, “The purpose of this network is to create relationships and connections that help develop ideas and best practices to address the effects of climate change. This network also considers future challenges. We know that we will face more extreme storms, droughts, and wildfires. We aim to prevent as many of these terrible effects as possible.” In regions often affected by wildfires and droughts, “sister cities” can learn from other urban communities on how to adapt to a hotter, drier future and make plans to adjust. In areas where flooding and sea level rise increasingly threaten residents, “sister cities” can look at the responses made by non-governmental organizations or community groups. Howe notes that while it is encouraging that many people are already talking about climate change, related disasters, and problem-solving measures, this network would build stronger relationships between cities and bring more public attention to the effects of climate change. 12. What do we know about the idea of “sister cities”? A. It was only put forward recently. B. It was practiced in just one country. C. It refers to a short-term plan about all the cities. D It goes farther than the original functions now. 13. What do Howe and Boyer think “sister cities” can do in their network? A. Solve climate change effects. B. Increase sea level rise. C. Improve trade relationships. D. Focus on social factors. 14. What does Howe want to say in the last paragraph? A. People don’t care about climate change. B. Their new network can make a difference. C. Sister cities should concentrate on storms. D. Climate issues have got solved completely. 15. Which title is suitable for the text? A. The Rise of Sister Cities in the World B. Historical Development of Sister Cities C. Climate Change and Urban Communities D. Network of Sister Cities for Climate Action 第二节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5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。 Living in the present moment is really important for all of us. ____16____ With that goal in mind, consider this list of 4 tips below on how to live in the moment.

I dropped my school bag by the door and rushed to see my little horse, Princess Luna. I couldn’t wait to continue training her. We had already built a special connection. Princess Luna was a small horse that we bought for very little money from a poor situation. She was my first horse to train. When I reached the backyard, my smile turned into a confused face. Princess Luna was nowhere to be seen, but there was a huge, golden palomino horse at the gate. I searched the whole backyard. However, she was not anywhere. Almost in tears, I ran to find my mom. “Mom?” I asked anxiously. “Where’s Princess Luna, and where did this new horse come from?” “We traded Princess Luna with Tom’ s family. I’ve always wanted a Palomino.” Her answer surprised me and made me very sad. I begged my mom to bring Princess Luna back, but she didn’t explain anything. She just expected me to accept it. I went back to my room, feeling discouraged. Princess Luna needed me as much as I needed her. How could my parents care little about that? I decided it was time to stand up for what I believed in. I would get Princess Luna back, so I started making a plan. While doing the dishes later, I packed some snacks in my backpack. When I was sure everyone was asleep, I set out to find Princess Luna in the dark. I walked down the driveway toward Tom’s house, imagining how upset my parents would be when they found out what I was doing. About an hour later, I arrived at Tom’s house and climbed through the open stable door. There, I saw Princess Luna! I rushed to take her out of the stable. “What are you doing here, Lucy?” I turned quickly to face the familiar but shocked voice that surprised me. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1 Tom with his little sister stood there, their eyes wide open in shock. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 Five minutes later my parents arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 德阳市高中2024级第一学期教学质量监测考试 英语试卷 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷和第Ⅱ卷，共10页，满分100分，考试时间120分钟。 第Ⅰ卷(选择题 共65分) 第一部分听力(共两节，满分20分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1分，满分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。 1.

In our daily life, little misunderstandings can happen easily. A friend thought I didn’t care about her because I didn’t reply to her text message immediately as expected. In fact, I was so busy with my homework that I forgot to do it. After knowing it, I talked to the friend directly and explained what had happened. Finally our misunderstanding was cleared. Honestly, little misunderstandings can hurt our friendship. But facing them actively is essential to protect our friendship. Remember it is communication that helps us get rid of misunderstandings and strengthen our friendship. 第二节(满分15分) 【47题答案】 【答案】 Paragraph 1 Tom with his little sister stood there, their eyes wide open in shock. “I-I came to get Princess Luna back,” I stammered, feeling the guilt surging in my heart but determined not to back down. Tom’s face softened as he glanced at his sister, who was clutching her teddy bear tightly. “Lucy, we really like Princess Luna too, but we didn’t know she meant so much to you,” Tom said gently. His little sister nodded in agreement, her eyes filled with understanding. “Can we help you find a way to keep her?” Tom’s offer gave me a glimmer of hope. Maybe there was a solution that wouldn’t break anyone’s heart. Paragraph 2 Five minutes later, my parents arrived, their faces a mixture of anger and worry. “Lucy, what have you done?” my mom demanded. Before I could respond, Tom stepped forward and explained the situation, emphasizing how much Princess Luna meant to both of us. My dad sighed deeply, looking thoughtful. “We didn’t realize the bond you two had,” he admitted. “Maybe we rushed into things.” My mom nodded reluctantly, her expression softening. “We’ll talk about it and find a way to make it work for everyone.” The tension in the air seemed to dissolve, replaced by a sense of relief and the beginning of a solution. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
