Here are three apps that can revolutionize your senior year. StudyMaster “StudyMaster” is a fantastic learning app. It has in-depth video lectures for various subjects, such as Math, English, and Science.

It also has a journaling feature where you can write down your feelings. These three apps “StudyMaster”, “TimeKeeper”, and “MindEase”, are all available for free on both Android and iOS. Download them now and enhance your senior high school experience. 21. What is the special feature of “StudyMaster”? A. It offers relaxation techniques. B. It has a timer to keep users focused. C. It can create personalized study plans. D. It is available for free on both Android and iOS. 22. What can “TimeKeeper” help students do? A. Improve their academic performance. B.

To boost students’ efficiency. B. To provide in-depth knowledge. C. To help students with mental health. D. To offer various learning resources. B As a senior high student, I was immersed in textbooks, mock exams, and endless study hours. Amid the college entrance exam pressure, one encounter stood out. It was a cold Wednesday afternoon. Having just finished a difficult math test, I was extremely discouraged. Plagued by self-doubt, I trudged to the school library, seeking comfort. While looking for an English literature book I noticed an elderly man in the corner, deeply absorbed in a thick book. Eventually, he looked up, caught my stare, and smiled, inviting me over. He introduced himself as Mr. Chen, a retired teacher. Sensing my distress, he asked what was wrong. I opened up about my math test struggles and university fears. Mr. Chen listened patiently and shared his teaching experiences. He said setbacks are common for students and are chances for growth. He offered valuable study advice too. For math, he emphasized understanding concepts over rote formula-memorization. For English, he urged more classic novel reading to enhance language sense. His words, “Success isn’t just about grades. It’s about self-discovery and continuous improvement,” truly resonated. Our conversation lasted about an hour. When we parted, I felt newly determined. This encounter was a turning point. It made me see setbacks as temporary. From then on, I faced my studies more positively, always inspired by Mr. Chen’s kind words. That chance meeting left a lasting mark on my senior year. 24. Why did the author go to the library on that Wednesday afternoon? A. To borrow an English literature book. B. To meet a retired teacher. C. To find comfort after a disappointing math test. D. To study for the upcoming exams. 25. What did Mr. Chen do after the author shared his problems? A. He told the author to give up math. B. He laughed at the author’s fears. C. He shared his experiences and gave advice. D. He recommended some easy-to-read books. 26. What was Mr. Chen’s advice for English learning? A. Memorize more words. B. Read more classic novels. C. Write more essays. D. Listen to English podcasts. 27. What can we infer from the passage? A. The author failed the math test. B. Mr. Chen was the author’s math teacher. C. The encounter with Mr. Chen changed the author’s attitude. D. The author didn’t like reading classic novels before. C In senior high school, especially with the daunting college entrance examination on the horizon, cultivating good learning habits becomes crucial. These habits not only facilitate effective knowledge absorption but also help students stay on top of their studies. One key habit is regular review. After each class, set aside some time to go over what was taught. For example, in Physics, review the new formulas and their applications. This helps in fixing the knowledge firmly in your memory. According to research, information is more likely to transition from short-term to long-term memory through timely review. Taking organized notes is another essential habit. Use different-colored pens to highlight important concepts, formulas, and examples. In a Biology class, for instance, mark the key characteristics of different species in red. Well-organized notes serve as a great resource for revision during exams. Moreover, setting clear goals is highly beneficial. Instead of having a vague aspiration of “doing well,” break it down into specific, achievable goals. You could aim to improve your English listening score by 5 points in the next monthly test. Such goals give you a clear direction and motivation to work towards. Group study can also be a great habit. Get together with classmates once a week to discuss difficult topics. In Math, a group discussion might help you understand a complex theorem from different perspectives. However, it’s important to maintain a balance. Allocate sufficient time for relaxation and physical activities. An over-stressed mind can’t function at its best. Taking a 30-minute jog every evening can relieve stress and boost your energy for the next day’s study. In conclusion, by incorporating these habits into your daily routine, senior high school students can enhance their learning effectiveness, reduce stress, and be better prepared for the college entrance examination. 28. Why is regular review important according to the passage? A. It helps students finish homework quickly. B. It makes students more interested in the subject. C. It helps transfer information from short-term to long-term memory. D. It allows students to skip class sometimes. 29. What should students do when taking notes according to the passage? A. Use only one pen for all notes. B. Highlight important parts with different-colored pens. C. Write down every word the teacher says. D. Make notes only in Biology class. 30. What can be inferred from the passage about setting clear goals? A. It is not necessary for senior high school students. B. Vague goals are better for students’ motivation. C. Setting clear goals can give students a sense of direction. D. Goals should be set very high to challenge students. 31. Why is it important to maintain a balance between study and other activities? A. Because an over-stressed mind can’t work well. B. Because relaxation activities are more important than study. C. Because students will get bored with study otherwise. D. Because it is a school requirement. D In the highly competitive landscape of senior high school, the question of whether students should attend extracurricular tutoring looms large. Opinions on this matter are divided. Advocates believe that extracurricular tutoring offers numerous benefits. Firstly, it provides personalized learning experiences. For instance, in a regular classroom, a teacher may not be able to address every student’s individual learning gaps. However, in a tutoring session, a tutor can focus solely on a student’s weak areas, like a math tutor helping a student master complex calculus concepts. Secondly, tutoring can enhance students’ confidence. When students receive extra help and start to see improvements in their grades, their self-esteem gets a boost, which in turn motivates them to study harder. On the other hand, opponents argue that extracurricular tutoring has its drawbacks. It can add to students’ already heavy workload. Senior high school students are already burdened with piles of homework and frequent exams. Adding tutoring sessions means less time for relaxation and self-exploration. Moreover, over-reliance on tutoring may hinder students’ ability to become independent learners. If students are always relying on a tutor to explain difficult concepts, they may not learn how to figure things out on their own. In my view, whether to attend extracurricular tutoring depends on individual circumstances. If a student is truly struggling with certain subjects and needs targeted help, then tutoring can be a valuable resource. However, students should also be cautious not to overdo it and should strive to maintain a balance between self - study and seeking external help. By doing so, they can make the most of their senior high school learning experience and better prepare for future challenges. 32. Why do some people support extracurricular tutoring? A. It helps students make more friends. B. It provides a more relaxed learning environment. C. It offers personalized learning and boosts confidence. D. It allows students to skip regular classes. 33. What is one of the drawbacks of extracurricular tutoring according to the passage? A. It costs too much money. B. It may increase students’ stress levels. C. It has no effect on students’ grades. D. It makes students too independent. 34. What does the author think about extracurricular tutoring? A. All students should attend it. B. It is completely unnecessary. C. It depends on students’ specific situations. D. Only students with high grades should attend. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? A. The Benefits of Extracurricular Tutoring B. The Drawbacks of Extracurricular Tutoring C How to Choose an Extracurricular Tutor D.

It was the last day of January 2011, and the 39-year-old nurse was vacationing with friends from her exercise group from Orangeville, Ontario, a small town north of Toronto. But at that moment, she was alone. She’d just finished playing beach volleyball, and while the other guests headed back up to the hotel for lunch, she enjoyed the warm water and splashed the sand from her body, the result of some dramatic volleyball saves. She didn’t realize it, but this simple action was creating a disturbance in the sea. Nicole looked up and glimpsed two people on Jet Skis waving at her and yelling in Spanish. She waved back and laughed, thinking they were having fun. What she didn’t know was that they were calling for her to get out of the water. They’d seen two bull sharks, and they were trying to warn her while attempting to scare the sharks back into the deep. One shark did leave, but the other proved more persistent. Instead of turning out to the boundless ocean, it veered in toward the shore. The Jet Skiers yelled once again to Nicole. Only then did she realize something was wrong. Nicole pivoted toward the beach and began to wade in. She felt a bump. What was that? Before she could react, the shark ripped into her left thigh, its barbed teeth tearing into her flesh, down to the bone. The shark yanked away more than a foot of skin and muscle from Nicole’s leg. The water was instantly ablaze with billowing, bright red blood. Though Nicole felt no pain, she knew how much trouble she was in. She needed to get out of the water. But the shark had destroyed her left leg, leaving it useless. She started using her arms to propel herself to the shore, struggling to move forward in the water. As she did so, the shark circled her, and then lunged, clenching her left arm in its jaws. “No!” she screamed. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 The shark had her entire arm locked in its mouth, and it started to pull her underwater. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One of the Jet Skiers accelerated toward Nicole, who was close to slipping beneath the waves. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 天水市秦安县民生高级中学2024——2025学年第一学期 高二英语期末考试卷 第一部分　听力(共两节，满分30分) 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How will the man get in touch with Laura?

We’re open from nine in the morning until eight in the evening but you’re not expected to be here all that time. You start working at a quarter to nine and finish at a quarter past five, OK? Now, students aren’t allowed to bring large bags into the library, but staff can bring their bags in and leave them in the office. You have an hour for lunch, but I don’t like staff eating in the library. Of course you can have a cup of coffee there while you’re working. If you bring sandwiches for lunch, there’s a common room downstairs where you can eat them. If you want to buy lunch, I’d suggest the dining room upstairs. There are cafes in the town centre, but it’s a bit of rush to get there and back in an hour though they’re cheap. OK.

Amid the college entrance exam pressure, one encounter stood out. It was a cold Wednesday afternoon. Having just finished a difficult math test I was extremely discouraged. Plagued by self-doubt, I trudged to the school library, seeking comfort. While looking for an English literature book, I noticed an elderly man in the corner, deeply absorbed in a thick book. Eventually, he looked up, caught my stare, and smiled, inviting me over. He introduced himself as Mr. Chen, a retired teacher. Sensing my distress, he asked what was wrong. I opened up about my math test struggles and university fears. Mr. Chen listened patiently and shared his teaching experiences. He said setbacks are common for students and are chances for growth. He offered valuable study advice too. For math, he emphasized understanding concepts over rote formula-memorization. For English, he urged more classic novel reading to enhance language sense. His words, “Success isn’t just about grades. It’s about self-discovery and continuous improvement,” truly resonated. Our conversation lasted about an hour. When we parted, I felt newly determined. This encounter was a turning point. It made me see setbacks as temporary. From then on, I faced my studies more positively, always inspired by Mr. Chen’s kind words.

These habits not only facilitate effective knowledge absorption but also help students stay on top of their studies. One key habit is regular review. After each class, set aside some time to go over what was taught. For example, in Physics, review the new formulas and their applications. This helps in fixing the knowledge firmly in your memory. According to research, information is more likely to transition from short-term to long-term memory through timely review. Taking organized notes is another essential habit. Use different-colored pens to highlight important concepts, formulas, and examples. In a Biology class, for instance, mark the key characteristics of different species in red. Well-organized notes serve as a great resource for revision during exams. Moreover, setting clear goals is highly beneficial. Instead of having a vague aspiration of “doing well,” break it down into specific, achievable goals. You could aim to improve your English listening score by 5 points in the next monthly test. Such goals give you a clear direction and motivation to work towards. Group study can also be a great habit. Get together with classmates once a week to discuss difficult topics. In Math, a group discussion might help you understand a complex theorem from different perspectives. However, it’s important to maintain a balance. Allocate sufficient time for relaxation and physical activities. An over-stressed mind can’t function at its best. Taking a 30-minute jog every evening can relieve stress and boost your energy for the next day’s study. In conclusion, by incorporating these habits into your daily routine, senior high school students can enhance their learning effectiveness, reduce stress, and be better prepared for the college entrance examination. 28. Why is regular review important according to the passage? A. It helps students finish homework quickly. B. It makes students more interested in the subject. C. It helps transfer information from short-term to long-term memory. D. It allows students to skip class sometimes. 29. What should students do when taking notes according to the passage? A. Use only one pen for all notes. B. Highlight important parts with different-colored pens. C. Write down every word the teacher says. D. Make notes only in Biology class. 30. What can be inferred from the passage about setting clear goals? A. It is not necessary for senior high school students. B. Vague goals are better for students’ motivation. C. Setting clear goals can give students a sense of direction. D. Goals should be set very high to challenge students. 31. Why is it important to maintain a balance between study and other activities? A. Because an over-stressed mind can’t work well. B. Because relaxation activities are more important than study. C. Because students will get bored with study otherwise. D. Because it is a school requirement. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了好的学习习惯的重要性以及应该如何培养好习惯。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“According to research, information is more likely to transition from short-term to long-term memory through timely review.(根据研究，通过及时的回顾，信息更有可能从短期记忆过渡到长期记忆)”可知，定期复习重要是因为它有助于将信息从短期记忆转化为长期记忆，故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Taking organized notes is another essential habit. Use different-colored pens to highlight important concepts, formulas, and examples.(做有条理的笔记是另一个重要的习惯。用不同颜色的笔标出重要的概念、公式和例子)”可知，学生做笔记时应该用不同颜色的笔突出重要部分，故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Such goals give you a clear direction and motivation to work towards.(这样的目标给了你一个明确的方向和努力的动力)”可知，设定明确的目标能给学生一种方向感，故选C。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“However, it’s important to maintain a balance. Allocate sufficient time for relaxation and physical activities. An over-stressed mind can’t function at its best.(然而，保持平衡是很重要的。为放松和体育活动分配足够的时间。压力过大的大脑无法发挥最佳功能)”可知，在学习和其他活动之间保持平衡很重要是因为过度紧张的大脑不能很好地工作，故选A。 D In the highly competitive landscape of senior high school, the question of whether students should attend extracurricular tutoring looms large. Opinions on this matter are divided. Advocates believe that extracurricular tutoring offers numerous benefits. Firstly, it provides personalized learning experiences. For instance, in a regular classroom, a teacher may not be able to address every student’s individual learning gaps. However, in a tutoring session, a tutor can focus solely on a student’s weak areas, like a math tutor helping a student master complex calculus concepts. Secondly, tutoring can enhance students’ confidence. When students receive extra help and start to see improvements in their grades, their self-esteem gets a boost, which in turn motivates them to study harder. On the other hand, opponents argue that extracurricular tutoring has its drawbacks. It can add to students’ already heavy workload. Senior high school students are already burdened with piles of homework and frequent exams. Adding tutoring sessions means less time for relaxation and self-exploration. Moreover, over-reliance on tutoring may hinder students’ ability to become independent learners. If students are always relying on a tutor to explain difficult concepts, they may not learn how to figure things out on their own. In my view, whether to attend extracurricular tutoring depends on individual circumstances. If a student is truly struggling with certain subjects and needs targeted help, then tutoring can be a valuable resource. However, students should also be cautious not to overdo it and should strive to maintain a balance between self - study and seeking external help. By doing so, they can make the most of their senior high school learning experience and better prepare for future challenges. 32. Why do some people support extracurricular tutoring? A. It helps students make more friends. B. It provides a more relaxed learning environment. C. It offers personalized learning and boosts confidence. D. It allows students to skip regular classes. 33. What is one of the drawbacks of extracurricular tutoring according to the passage? A. It costs too much money. B. It may increase students’ stress levels. C. It has no effect on students’ grades. D. It makes students too independent. 34. What does the author think about extracurricular tutoring? A. All students should attend it. B. It is completely unnecessary. C. It depends on students’ specific situations. D. Only students with high grades should attend. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? A. The Benefits of Extracurricular Tutoring B. The Drawbacks of Extracurricular Tutoring C. How to Choose an Extracurricular Tutor D. To Tutor or Not to Tutor: The Dilemma of Senior High School Students 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章围绕高三学生是否应该参加课外辅导展开讨论，分析了支持和反对的观点，最后给出作者的看法。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Advocates believe that extracurricular tutoring offers numerous benefits. Firstly, it provides personalized learning experiences. For instance, in a regular classroom, a teacher may not be able to address every student’s individual learning gaps. However, in a tutoring session, a tutor can focus solely on a student’s weak areas, like a math tutor helping a student master complex calculus concepts. Secondly, tutoring can enhance students’ confidence.(支持者认为课外辅导有很多好处。首先，它提供了个性化的学习体验。例如，在普通课堂上，老师可能无法解决每个学生的个人学习差距。然而，在辅导课程中，导师可以只关注学生的薄弱领域，就像数学导师帮助学生掌握复杂的微积分概念一样。其次，辅导可以增强学生的信心)”可知，支持者认为课外辅导能提供个性化学习体验并增强学生自信，故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“On the other hand, opponents argue that extracurricular tutoring has its drawbacks. It can add to students’ already heavy workload. Senior high school students are already burdened with piles of homework and frequent exams. Adding tutoring sessions means less time for relaxation and self-exploration.(另一方面，反对者认为课外辅导有其弊端。它会增加学生本已繁重的工作量。高中生已经背负着成堆的作业和频繁的考试。增加辅导课意味着放松和自我探索的时间减少了)”可知，课外辅导的一个缺点是可能增加学生的压力，因为会加重他们的负担，减少放松时间，故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In my view, whether to attend extracurricular tutoring depends on individual circumstances.(在我看来，是否参加课外辅导取决于个人情况)”可知，作者认为是否参加课外辅导取决于学生的具体情况，故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In the highly competitive landscape of senior high school, the question of whether students should attend extracurricular tutoring looms large. Opinions on this matter are divided.(在竞争激烈的高中环境中，学生是否应该参加课外辅导的问题日益突出。对这件事的看法有分歧)”结合文章围绕高三学生是否应该参加课外辅导展开讨论，分析了支持和反对的观点，最后给出作者的看法，故D选项“是否参加课外辅导：高三学生的困境”最符合文章标题，故选D。 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。 For senior high school students, enhancing memory is essential for academic success.

It was the last day of January 2011, and the 39-year-old nurse was vacationing with friends from her exercise group from Orangeville, Ontario, a small town north of Toronto. But at that moment, she was alone. She’d just finished playing beach volleyball, and while the other guests headed back up to the hotel for lunch, she enjoyed the warm water and splashed the sand from her body, the result of some dramatic volleyball saves. She didn’t realize it, but this simple action was creating a disturbance in the sea. Nicole looked up and glimpsed two people on Jet Skis waving at her and yelling in Spanish. She waved back and laughed, thinking they were having fun. What she didn’t know was that they were calling for her to get out of the water. They’d seen two bull sharks, and they were trying to warn her while attempting to scare the sharks back into the deep. One shark did leave, but the other proved more persistent. Instead of turning out to the boundless ocean, it veered in toward the shore. The Jet Skiers yelled once again to Nicole. Only then did she realize something was wrong. Nicole pivoted toward the beach and began to wade in. She felt a bump. What was that? Before she could react, the shark ripped into her left thigh, its barbed teeth tearing into her flesh, down to the bone. The shark yanked away more than a foot of skin and muscle from Nicole’s leg. The water was instantly ablaze with billowing, bright red blood. Though Nicole felt no pain, she knew how much trouble she was in. She needed to get out of the water. But the shark had destroyed her left leg, leaving it useless. She started using her arms to propel herself to the shore, struggling to move forward in the water. As she did so, the shark circled her, and then lunged, clenching her left arm in its jaws. “No!” she screamed. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 The shark had her entire arm locked in its mouth, and it started to pull her underwater. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One of the Jet Skiers accelerated toward Nicole, who was close to slipping beneath the waves. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 The shark had her entire arm locked in its mouth, and it started to pull her underwater. Realizing it is the last chance to survive, she had to take action at once. Gathering whatever strength she had left, she hit the shark on the nose. The shark let go and swam away, leaving Nicole Moore floating there in a sea of blood. Still, she was in danger of losing too much blood. One of the Jet Skiers accelerated toward Nicole, who was close to slipping beneath the waves. Grasping her right hand, he sent her to the shore, where a group of people gathered and offered their hands. Luckily, two more Americans were among the guests on the beach, who did first aid immediately, trying to help keep her awake by talking to her constantly. For a while, Nicole was in a coma, when she doubted whether her kids could see their mom and her husband, her parents would lose their beloved one. In no time, an ambulance came, sending Nicole Moore to the nearby hospital. She survived at last. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开, 讲述了Nicole Moore在海上玩耍的时候，不幸被鲨鱼发现，鲨鱼咬住了她的左大腿，之后咬住了她的左臂。幸亏妮可及时采取行动，摆脱了鲨鱼，最终被水上摩托运动员救起，幸存了下来。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“鲨鱼咬住了她的整个手臂，开始把她拖到水下”可知, 第一段可描写妮可努力求生的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“其中一名水上摩托运动员加速冲向妮可，妮可差点滑到海浪下面”可知, 第二段可描写妮可得救的经过以及最后幸存下来。 2.续写线索：咬住手臂——奋力挣脱——鲨鱼松口——被发现——妮可被救起——妮可得救 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/be aware of ②击打：hit/strike ③尝试：try to/attempt to 情绪类 ①怀疑：doubt/suspect ②亲爱的：beloved/dear 【点睛】[高分句型1] The shark let go and swam away, leaving Nicole Moore floating there in a sea of blood.
