Needless to say, we must spare no effort to protect these valuable resources because they are neither renewable nor replaceable. What’s more, to protect the cultural heritage is to protect our history. It is history that makes us who we are today and never should we forget our past. The cultural heritage serves as the root and soul of the Chinese nation. Let’s work together to protect them for ourselves, for our future generations, and for the whole of mankind! 读后续写 Possible version: One day, however, Mary came with good news. She told us that a charity concert would be held in town, and she had arranged for Jane to perform. “Jane, you'll have the chance to sing for a real audience,” Mary said with a bright smile. Jane's eyes lit up with excitement, but a trace of hesitation crossed her face. “But...in a wheelchair?” she asked softly. Mary and I exchanged glances, both determined. “Your voice is what matters," I reassured her, “and there's nothing that can stop you from sharing it.” With renewed hope, Jane began practicing with Mary daily, pouring her heart into each note as if to reclaim her dream. When the host announced it was Jane's turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. A hush fell over the audience as Jane gripped the microphone, nervous but radiant. Then, she began to sing her voice soaring and filling the hall with a sweet, powerful melody. Her passion reached every corner, bringing tears to the eyes of those watching. When her performance ended, thunderous applause erupted. Overwhelmed, Jane beamed, realizing her dream hadn't vanished-it had only transformed. With her voice, she could still shine on stage, inspiring everyone who heard her story. 录音原文 Text 1 W: You look so excited. What is the good news? M: I was informed that I was admitted to my dream university. W: Congratulations to you. By the way, who told you the good news? M: The staff in the university sent me an email. Text 2 M: Will you come to my birthday party? W: Can I come a little later? I’ve got something important to work on tonight. M: How late will you be? The party will begin at 8:00 p.m. W: I will be late for 20 minutes. Text 3 M: Do you like listening to music? And how? W: Yes, I usually listen to music on my phone or my computer. M: How much time a day do you spend listening to music? W: As long as I am free, such as riding a bike, taking a bus and so on. Text 4 M: What do you think of Lily? W: She’s not only thoughtful but also very understanding. She’s always by my side to cheer me up whenever I’m in trouble. M: Do you share anything in common with her? W: Yes, a lot. We both love shopping and playing sports. Text 5 M: Where did you stay last summer when you travelled in Xiamen? W: I stayed in a family hotel near the sea. M: Why did you choose to stay in that hotel instead of a five-star hotel? W: It is comfortable, and all the reviews online about the hotel are positive. Text 6 W: Do you like going to live football matches? M: Oh, yes. I love it. W: Is it better than watching them on TV? M: Well, you don’t really see as much as you do on TV W: Oh, why do so many people go to live matches? M: That’s different. On TV you don’t really feel the atmosphere. You can’t sing along with the chants and songs at home. Text 7 M: Good morning. This is City Bus Company. W: Good morning. I wonder if you could help me. I’ve lost my handbag. M: Oh, when did it happen? Are you sure you’ve lost it on our bus? W: Well, yesterday afternoon I went home from work on the No.22 bus. When I got off the bus, I left my handbag on the bus. M: Can you describe it? W: Well, it's a brown fur handbag. Err, there is a bank card and some change in it. M: I am afraid we haven’t got anything like that. Perhaps someone took it away when you got off the bus. But we’ll try our best to look for it for you. W: Thank you very much. Text 8 M: Mom, I have something to say. Can Spotty be in the family picture, too? W: Oh, he cannot. You know, dogs are pets; they are not family. M: But Spotty is older than I am! W: So what? That still doesn’t make him a human. M: Sometimes it seems like he can talk. Why not regard him as a member of our family? W: I said no, so the answer is no. M: What if we put a hat on him? W: Why would you want to do that? M: Because if he puts a hat, he’ll just look like my little brother. W: You’re really attached to him, aren’t you? M: Yes! I like him. And he’s like a part of the family, too. W: All right, he may be in the photo, but no hat! Text 9 M: Jenny, in another interview we were talking about foods that we don’t like. Now let’s talk about activities or things we don’t like to do. W: Okay. M: Washing dishes, ironing clothes, mowing the lawn, things like that. W: Alright. M: Are there any other activities you really dislike doing? W: Well, you mentioned washing dishes. I don’t like that one. M: Oh, really? W: I’d much rather mow the lawn than wash dishes. M: Why? W: I guess, it’s just the idea of touching dirty plates that everyone ate off and then they sat at the sink for a couple of hours. And, it grosses me out. M: Yeah. That’s interesting because I’m actually ... like ... I don’t like cooking. I hate to cook but I don’t mind doing the clean-up. Text 10 W: Everyone has a natural sleep routine. You go to bed and wake up at a certain time. But everyone’s routine is not the same. Some people—the early birds—go to bed early at night (around 9:00 or 10:00 p.m.). In the morning, they wake up easily and are energetic. Others—the night owls—stay awake late (until midnight or later). For them, it is difficult to wake up early. What do we know about early birds and night owls? Here is what studies show. Teenagers are natural night owls. Also, most need nine to ten hours’ sleep a night. But in many places, the school or work day starts at 8:00 a.m. For this reason, only one in five teenagers sleeps enough. More early birds get good grades in school, but night owls do better on some intelligence tests, according to a study of 1,000 Spanish teens. People with high scores on these tests usually get good jobs. 第 1 页 共 8 页 荆州中学 2024-2025 学年高一上学期期末考试 英 语 试 题 （全卷满分 150分，考试用时 120分钟） 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。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?

B Colin and Donna Craig-Brown were working in their New Zealand garden in late August. They were removing unwanted plants when they found something strange. After a little digging, Colin discovered there was a very large potato growing in his garden. And they never planted potatoes! “We couldn’t believe it, ” Donna said. “It was just huge.” The couple worked the potato out of the soil and brought it to a scale. It weighed almost 8 kilograms. 第 4 页 共 8 页 The potato may be the largest ever recorded. In 2011, a large potato from Great Britain weighed just under 5 kilograms. The New Zealand potato, now named Doug, could break the record. The Craig-Browns asked Guinness (吉尼斯 ) to recognize their potato as the largest ever. They are waiting to hear from the organization. The potato has become famous in the town of Hamilton, Colin took Doug on walks round the neighborhood, “We put a hat on him. We put him on Facebook, taking him for a walk, giving him some sunshine,” Colin said. “It’s all a bit of fun.” Colin said he does not have any special gardening methods to pass on. Normally, he and his wife fertilize (施肥) their garden with waste from cows and dried grasses. The Craig-Browns were growing cucumbers (黄 瓜) in that part of the garden, so they didn’t expect there was a potato. It may have been growing for two years or more. The potato is getting a little old now, two months after it was taken from the ground. Right now, it is in the freezer. 24. How did the couple feel when they found the potato? A. Satisfied. B.

What could be the best title for the text? A. Two skilful gardeners. B. A potato on Facebook. C. The possible largest potato. D. A special gardening method. C Teenagers who travel around the world alone have been making headlines quite often. A young person alone in a dangerous situation attracts attention and supporters. Young sailors also attract various views. For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to call off her solo trip across the ocean, yet the Prime Minister called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned. It seems views are poles apart on the ability and independence of young people. Some experts tell us that teenage brains are likely to make wrong judgments. But such ideas often do not apply to specific individuals. Between the ages of 14 and 18, teenagers differ greatly in their abilities. The amount of independence that each is allowed should be determined not simply by their ages but by discussion with the related, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and make childish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys normally do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and experienced adult supporters. But it’s also wrong to think that any 16-year-old can make a hit as Jessica Watson. Watson calls herself “a common girl who had a dream”. Her purpose is to encourage teenagers but this idea can have the opposite effect of making them feel not good enough because great achievements are beyond them. Should all teens have such wild dreams? Actually, individuals face different conditions that limit their dreams. Teenagers who travel around the world alone should not be judged by preconceived (先入为主的) views about young people. Nor should young “common” teenagers feel pressure to long for extraordinary personal 第 5 页 共 8 页 goals. In fact, I believe the example of solo sailing overstresses what an individual can do. The teenage years are when most of us “common” people learn that we can achieve great things in cooperation with others. 28. Why is Jessica Watson mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To set a heroic example for teenagers. B. To point out the public’s interest in young people. C. To introduce different opinions on teenagers’ adventures. D. To show the Prime Minister disagreed with the government. 29. What can determine the amount of teenagers’ independence? A. Different journeys. B. Brain development. C. Communication with adults. D. Confidence in themselves. 30. What does Watson mean by calling herself “a common girl who had a dream”? A. She likes dangerous journeys. B. Teenagers can make success. C. She can accept she is common. D. Teenagers should go travelling. 31. What’s the author’s attitude towards teenagers’ act of travelling alone? A. Doubtful. B. Supportive C. Uncaring. D. Uncertain. D Protecting marine (海洋的) animals is crucial for the health and balance of our oceans, since they play a vital role in the marine ecosystem, serving as food sources; contributing to nutrient cycling, and maintaining biodiversity. However, human activities such as overfishing, habitat destruction, and pollution pose significant threats to these creatures, so effective conservation measures should be taken to change for the better. Most people know about the friendly voices of dolphins and the blue songs of humpback whales, but what about the hundreds of thousands of other creatures that live in the sea? Scientists estimate that over 100 types of marine mammals, as well as 1,000 different fish species, generate sounds. Additionally, many sea creatures produce passive sounds while eating, swimming, or crawling along the sea floor. A group of international scientists is now joining forces to create a library of all the unique sounds that animals living under the sea make. The Global Library of Underwater Biological Sounds, or GLUBS, will be an open-source collection of the signature sounds created by sea creatures. The team will use existing libraries of sea sounds and expand upon these to create a more comprehensive collection. The platform will also include AI algorithms (算法) that can detect and classify different sounds, which will allow scientists to produce species distribution maps. When asked about the motivation for this project, Miles Parsons, one of the project’s leaders, pointed to the worldwide decline in biodiversity. By examining the sounds coming from bodies of water, scientists can monitor the changes in the distribution and diversity of various ecosystems. Studying the sounds could also be used to identify new species. Parsons explained that many of the world’s most extensive habitats are aquatic (水生的). GLUBS could be a great resource in helping preserve water species around the world. 32. Which of the following is true about sea creature sounds? A. It is difficult to distinguish eating sounds. B. Only 1,000 different fish species produce sounds. C. Little is known about the sounds of marine animals. D. Scientists don’t have to create sound libraries from zero. 第 6 页 共 8 页 33. How will AI be used in the library? A. It will be used to create new aquatic sounds. B. It is needed when scientists distribute maps. C. It helps manage the number of species in the sea. D. It can help sort out the different collected sounds. 34. What reason did Miles Parsons give for creating the sound library? A. Biodiversity is decreasing around the world. B. It is difficult to record the sound s of sea creatures. C. We should keep the balance and preserve the ocean. D. Fishermen could use the sounds to help them catch more fish. 35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. A scientific research assisted by AI. B. Sounds Created by the Marine Animals. C. GLUBS: A Sound Library of the Sea. D. Sharp decline in global biodiversity. 第二节（共 5 个小题；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。 If you have a big test coming up or just want to do well in class, studying is one of the best things you can do to improve your grade. Even though revising things you already learned might seem boring, you’ll feel a lot more comfortable with the material. 36 Study in 1-hour blocks. Keep your study time shorter so you don’t get tired. Set aside (留出) an hour for each of your subjects so you have time to revise them. 37 In this way, you don’t get information mixed up between classes. 38 Step away for a few minutes every hour so you don’t feel overworked. Since studying takes up a lot of energy and brainpower, schedule in 5-10 minutes every hour where you just relax. Avoid working through the breaks. Schedule time to study every day. Try to set aside a regular time to go over notes for class. 39 So, you’re able to focus a little better. If you can, try to plan the same time every day so you can get into a regular routine. Work somewhere quiet. 40 Avoid studying in a room with other loud people or distractions since it’ll be hard to focus and remember the material. Instead, go into your room and shut the door, or find a quiet spot at the school library where you can sit. A. Plan regular breaks. B. Revise your notes in your own words. C. Only focus on one subject at a time during each block. D. Find a time when you feel the most energetic to study. E. We’ll start by looking at some tips on forming the best study habits! F. Find a place where you won’t have trouble concentrating on the material. G. If you live with others, ask them to be quiet when you plan your study time. 第 7 页 共 8 页 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30分） 第一节 完形填空（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，选出最佳选项。 After driving 150 miles from our last destination on road trip, my wife and I felt tired and hungry.

At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart's content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs. Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing. Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me. It was Mary who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, "Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong." I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary. That night, Jane recovered her consciousness and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, "My dear, everything would be fine." Mary comforted her gently," I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don't worry. We'll be standing by you." I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane's cheeks. After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day, however, Mary came with good news. _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ When the host announced it was Jane's turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________
