Across the wall, a vast parking lot with wild weeds growing everywhere could be seen clearly. “It’s wired, you know,” said the girl sitting two rows in front of me. “Sometimes movies play there all by themselves!” I told my mom when I got home, retelling the girl’s words from the bus, “Someone’s been playing movies there!” “I doubt it, Jared,” Mom said. “It closed a couple of years ago.” But at night, I heard music and saw sparkling lights on the screen. What on earth happened there? To find out the truth, the next day, we went to explore the drive-in. It was like stepping into a forgotten world. As we continued our investigation, an old man, who we later knew as Nick, got out, and claimed he was the one playing old movies there. He recalled the drive-in’s golden days — 300 cars on a good night, but later, the industry changed and the need for a costly digital projector (放映机) forced him to close up. He then invited us to stay and watch a movie. As the credit rolled, mom asked if he’d consider reopening with a new projector. Nick sighed he would if he could afford it. That night, I had an idea. With Nick’s permission, I penned a letter to the local newspaper, asking the community for help to fund a digital projector. For a while, only a few hundred dollars came in. But then, Nick called with excitement. An organization that preserved old theaters had seen my letter and started an online fundraising. A year later, the Galaxy was thriving again. Nick was overjoyed, and on a good night, we saw 300 cars fill the lot. And I? I got a free bucket of popcorn, a sweet reward for inspiring a community effort to bring the Galaxy Drive-In back to life. 4. What do we know from paragraph 1? A. The girl was making up a story. B. The cinema was in poor condition. C. The author had an exciting journey. D. The author showed no interest in movies. 5. What was the main reason for the cinema’s shut-down? A.

A Cinema that can Run on its Own C. A Special Drive-in: A Mystery Revealed D. A Community’s Effort: Saving an Old Cinema 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与母亲发现一家废弃的电影院，并帮助电影院老板筹集资金购买放映机，最终使电影院重新开业的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“I pressed my face against the school-bus window as we passed the giant movie screen rising over the trees — “Galaxy Drive-In”, one sign said, while another said sadly “CLOSED”. Across the wall, a vast parking lot with wild weeds growing everywhere could be seen clearly. (当我把脸贴在学校的巴士窗户上时，我们经过了一块从树丛中升起的巨大电影屏幕——一个标志上写着“银河汽车影院”，而另一个标志则悲哀地写着“已关闭”。透过围墙可以看到，巨大的停车场里到处长满了野草)”可知，电影院的状况很差。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“He recalled the drive-in’s golden days — 300 cars on a good night, but later, the industry changed and the need for a costly digital projector (放映机) forced him to close up. (他回忆起了汽车影院的黄金时代——在一个美好的夜晚会有300辆车来看电影，但后来行业发生了变化，需要昂贵的数字放映机迫使他不得不关闭)”可知，电影院关闭的主要原因是设备过时。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第六段中“With Nick’s permission, I penned a letter to the local newspaper, asking the community for help to fund a digital projector. (在尼克的允许下，我给当地报纸写了一封信，请求社区帮助筹集资金购买一台数字放映机)”可知，作者写信给当地报纸来帮助尼克。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“I pressed my face against the school-bus window as we passed the giant movie screen rising over the trees — “Galaxy Drive-In”, one sign said, while another said sadly “CLOSED”. Across the wall, a vast parking lot with wild weeds growing everywhere could be seen clearly. (当我把脸贴在学校的巴士窗户上时，我们经过了一块从树丛中升起的巨大电影屏幕——一个标志上写着“银河汽车影院”，而另一个标志则悲哀地写着“已关闭”。透过围墙可以看到，巨大的停车场里到处长满了野草)”、第六段中“With Nick’s permission, I penned a letter to the local newspaper, asking the community for help to fund a digital projector. (在尼克的允许下，我给当地报纸写了一封信，请求社区帮助筹集资金购买一台数字放映机)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者发现一家废弃的电影院，了解到电影院关闭的原因后，作者帮助电影院老板尼克筹集资金购买数字放映机，最终电影院得以重新开放的故事。因此，最好的标题应该是“A Community’s Effort: Saving an Old Cinema (社区的努力：拯救一家老电影院)”。故选D。 C Most people tend to think of cities as places lacking nature, but indeed cities aren’t just concrete (混凝土) jungles but are actually bustling with wildlife and nature. According to a study in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, urban landscapes are more than just human habitats; they also provide special opportunities for wildlife conservation. “As a city kid growing up during the 1980s, I was fascinated with birds nesting on the top of my neighbour’s roof, which sparked my interest in birds and nature,” said Frank La Sorte, a researcher at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. He believes that by observing our feathered friends in the city, we can see nature as an essential part of our well-being. Protecting nature is like giving ourselves a high-five. To document the value of cities to birds, the research team from Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Auburn University, and Rutgers University, decided to put cities under the microscope. They mixed and matched bird sightings from citizen scientists of eBird program, endangered species lists, critical habitats, and 2020 U.S. census (普查) data. The team found that natural areas within cities could mean increased access to resources, warmer temperatures and shelters from natural disasters for birds. They also suggest that these green spaces should even allow for unique reappearing opportunities for species, which is not possible in their natural habitats. But, they also caution that cities aren’t always the safest choice for wildlife, which means updating our views of cities as places where we can connect with nature is the first step to stop biodiversity loss. So, next time you’re taking a walk down the street, look up, and look around. You might just spot a nature scene that’s right beside you. Our urban jungles have thrived. Cities are the new frontier for wildlife conservation. 8. What is the updated idea about the relation between the city and nature? A. Cities are friendly to wildlife. B. Cities hold no place for nature. C. Cities have no impact on nature. D. Cities are rich in natural resources. 9. What inspired Frank La Sorte’s passion for birds? A. His interest shared with his friends. B. His childhood spent in the countryside. C. His sighting of birds in the neighborhood. D. His research in Cornell Lab of Ornithology. 10. How can cities contribute to the protection of birds? A. By providing natural areas to shelter birds. B. By reducing the number of birds’ enemies. C. By making cities less exposed to disasters. D. By introducing new species to the rural areas. 11. What does the author call on people to do in the last paragraph? A. Have a healthy and balanced lifestyle. B. Be an observer of nature in cities. C. Stop urbanization to keep biodiversity. D. Make frequent visits to the jungles. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了城市对野生动物保护的重要性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“Most people tend to think of cities as places lacking nature, but indeed cities aren’t just concrete (混凝土) jungles but are actually bustling with wildlife and nature. According to a study in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, urban landscapes are more than just human habitats; they also provide special opportunities for wildlife conservation. (大多数人倾向于认为城市是缺乏自然的地方，但实际上，城市不仅仅是混凝土丛林，它们其实充满了野生动植物和自然生态。根据《生态与环境前沿》杂志上的一项研究，城市景观不仅是人类的栖息地，还为野生动物保护提供了特殊的机会。)”可知，关于城市与自然关系的最新观点是：城市对野生动物是友好的。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中““As a city kid growing up during the 1980s, I was fascinated with birds nesting on the top of my neighbour’s roof, which sparked my interest in birds and nature,” said Frank La Sorte, a researcher at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. (“作为在20世纪80年代长大的城市孩子，我对邻居屋顶上的鸟巢非常着迷，这激发了我对鸟类和自然的兴趣，”康奈尔鸟类学实验室的研究员弗兰克·拉索特说道。)”可知，弗兰克·拉索特对鸟类的热情来自于他在附近看到的鸟类。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“The team found that natural areas within cities could mean increased access to resources, warmer temperatures and shelters from natural disasters for birds. (研究小组发现，城市内的自然区域可能意味着鸟类可以获得更多的资源、更温暖的温度和免受自然灾害的庇护所。)”可知，城市可以通过提供自然区域来庇护鸟类，为鸟类保护做出贡献。故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“So, next time you’re taking a walk down the street, look up, and look around. You might just spot a nature scene that’s right beside you. Our urban jungles have thrived. Cities are the new frontier for wildlife conservation. (所以，下次你在街上散步的时候，抬头看看，环顾四周。你可能会发现你旁边的自然景色。我们的城市丛林已经繁荣起来。城市是野生动植物保护的新领域。)”可知，作者在最后一段呼吁人们成为城市中自然的观察者。故选B。 D I recently watched The Martian, a 2015 American science fiction adventure film directed by Ridley Scott, and I must say, it left a lasting impression on me. The screenplay by Drew Goddard, based on Andy Weir’s novel, has gained widespread reputation for its scientific accuracy and engaging plot. The film tells the story of the astronaut Mark Watney, played by Matt Damon, who is mistakenly assumed dead and left behind on Mars during a mission. Facing extreme loneliness and survival challenges, Watney never gives up when facing the extreme environment on Mars and keeps trying to survive and find a way back to the Earth. He uses his knowledge and creativity to figure out ways to grow food and make water with limited resources on Mars. The Martian is more than just a survival story. Its celebration of human perseverance and intelligence in the most abject situations is what touched me most. I was on the edge of my seat as Watney worked tirelessly alongside NASA teams and international scientists to find a way back home. The humor, thrilling plot, and unexpected fun kept me engaged throughout the film. The movie also shows the collaborative efforts of NASA and other international space agencies to rescue Watney. It gives a more down-to-earth picture of how such organizations operate during a crisis, including the decision-making processes, the cooperation between different teams on Earth and in space. This is in contrast to other science fiction films that might simplify or overstate the role of such institutions. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The introduction to the actor. B. The plot of the movie. C. The feedback from the audience. D. The impact of the story. 13. What does the underlined word “abject” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Hopeless. B. Exciting. C. Steady. D. Accessible. 14. What feature distinguishes The Martian from other science fiction films? A. The plot twists of the movie. B. The significance of the novel. C. The black humor of the character. D. The display of international cooperation. 15. What message does the text focus on? A. Space travel is a risky business. B. Mars is a possible planet to live on. C A sci-fi movie could become a reality. D. Human strength overcomes all hardships. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇影评。文章主要对2015年美国科幻冒险电影《火星救援》进行了评价和介绍，包括电影的导演、编剧、故事情节、角色表现、主题思想以及与其他科幻电影的对比等。作者表达了对这部电影的深刻印象，特别是对电影中展现的人类在绝境中的坚持和智慧表示赞赏。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The film tells the story of the astronaut Mark Watney, played by Matt Damon, who is mistakenly assumed dead and left behind on Mars during a mission. Facing extreme loneliness and survival challenges, Watney never gives up when facing the extreme environment on Mars and keeps trying to survive and find a way back to the Earth. He uses his knowledge and creativity to figure out ways to grow food and make water with limited resources on Mars.(影片讲述了宇航员Mark Watney的故事，由Matt Damon饰演。在一次任务中，他被误认死亡，从而被留在了火星上。面对极度的孤独和生存挑战，Watney在火星极端的环境下从未放弃，不断努力求生并寻找返回地球的方法。他运用自己的知识和创造力，利用火星上有限的资源，想出种植食物和制造水的办法。)”可知，本段主要是在讲述电影的故事内容，详细阐述了宇航员Mark Watney在火星上被误认死亡后，独自面对生存挑战，努力求生并寻找返回地球方法的情节。故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Facing extreme loneliness and survival challenges, Watney never gives up when facing the extreme environment on Mars and keeps trying to survive and find a way back to the Earth. He uses his knowledge and creativity to figure out ways to grow food and make water with limited resources on Mars.(面对极度的孤独和生存挑战，Watney在火星极端的环境下从未放弃，不断努力求生并寻找返回地球的方法。他运用自己的知识和创造力，利用火星上有限的资源，想出种植食物和制造水的办法。)”可推测，这部电影展现了人类在最糟糕、近乎绝望的处境中展现出的坚韧和智慧。选项A“hopeless”，意为“无助的”，与此相符。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The movie also shows the collaborative efforts of NASA and other international space agencies to rescue Watney. It gives a more down-to-earth picture of how such organizations operate during a crisis, including the decision-making processes, the cooperation between different teams on Earth and in space. This is in contrast to other science fiction films that might simplify or overstate the role of such institutions.(这部电影还展现了美国国家航空航天局和其他国际太空机构为营救Watney所做出的协同努力。它更为真实地描绘了这类机构在危机中是如何运作的，包括决策过程，以及地球上不同团队与太空中团队之间的合作。这与其他一些科幻电影不同，那些电影可能会简化或夸大这类机构的作用。)”可知，《火星救援》展现了美国国家航空航天局和其他国际太空机构的协同努力，真实地呈现了国际合作，这与其他可能简化或夸大这类机构作用的科幻电影形成对比，是其区别于其他科幻电影的特点。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The film tells the story of the astronaut Mark Watney, played by Matt Damon, who is mistakenly assumed dead and left behind on Mars during a mission. Facing extreme loneliness and survival challenges, Watney never gives up when facing the extreme environment on Mars and keeps trying to survive and find a way back to the Earth. He uses his knowledge and creativity to figure out ways to grow food and make water with limited resources on Mars.(影片讲述了宇航员Mark Watney的故事，由Matt Damon饰演。在一次任务中，他被误认死亡，从而被留在了火星上。面对极度的孤独和生存挑战，Watney在火星极端的环境下从未放弃，不断努力求生并寻找返回地球的方法。他运用自己的知识和创造力，利用火星上有限的资源，想出种植食物和制造水的办法。)”可知，文中描述宇航员Mark Watney在火星极端艰难的环境下，凭借自身知识、创造力以及与各方协作，坚持不懈努力求生，体现了人类的力量克服重重困难，这与选项D“Human strength overcomes all hardships(人类的力量能战胜一切艰难困苦)”相符。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。答案写在答题卡上。 Embracing Change: A Journey Towards Personal Growth and Success Embracing change is like trying a new flavor of ice cream — you might be doubtful at first, but the taste could be surprisingly delightful at last!

The miracle is all about shifting your mindset and daring to dance with the unknown.(拥抱改变就如同尝试一种新口味的冰淇淋 —— 起初你或许心存疑虑，但最终那味道可能会给你带来意想不到的愉悦！其中的奇妙之处全在于转变你的思维模式，敢于与未知共舞。)”可知，上文提到拥抱改变需要转变心态、敢于面对未知。而下文则开始介绍如何拥抱改变。选项A“Here is how to make it happen(以下是如何做到这一点)”起承上启下的作用，引出下文具体做法，符合语境。故选A。 【17题详解】 根据上文“To start with, take a good look at your life and spot the areas that could use a change. Is there a dream job you are too scared to chase?(首先，审视你的生活，找出那些需要改变的方面。是否有一份你因过于害怕而不敢追寻的理想工作？)”可知，上文提到审视生活中需要改变的领域，问是否有不敢追寻的理想工作。选项B“Or a skill you are eager to master(或者是你渴望掌握的一项技能？)”与前文“Is there a dream job you are too scared to chase?”句式相似，都是关于生活中想要做出改变的方面。故选B。 【18题详解】 根据空前“Take baby steps towards change when you’ve set up your goal.(当你设定好目标后，朝着改变迈出小步伐。)”可知，上文提出朝着改变迈出小步。选项G“Break your goal into bite-sized tasks and overcome them one by one(把你的目标分解成小的任务，然后一个一个地克服它们)”具体说明了如何迈出小步，符合该段主旨。故选G。 【19题详解】 空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文“Be ready to question your old beliefs and expand your horizons.

If it’s in good condition, we can donate it to people who can really use it.” As usual, our family would donate stuff to our community center every year. “This year, you’re old enough to decide for yourselves now! You two can have the whole afternoon to go through what’s here,” said Mom. “Please donate only the things that kids in our community really use or truly need. Happy sorting!” But happy was not the word I’d choose to describe our sorting. After Mom left, we both just stood there, staring at the boxes of old stuff for a long time. Then my eyes fixed on a set of colorful Lego blocks. “No way. I don’t want to say goodbye to my blocks! Why don’t we give away your skipping rope?” Tex yelled loudly. I shook my head firmly. And that’s how it went for the next hour. Each decision felt so complicated that it was much easier to put nearly everything back to its position. “Look!” Tex pointed. “A cool old toy car with only one wheel. Hard to fix. It’s the best choice for us to donate the broken ones like this.” How clever he was! After all, neither of us was willing to part with our beloved possessions forever. We’d rather have them lie abandoned or unnoticed in our garage. We took immediate action and put all the broken toys, and board games with missing pieces in the donation pile. Now, sorting stuff out in this way did make us much happier. At this moment, Mom came back to see how it was going. 注意： (1)词数应为120个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Why do you put so much useless stuff in the donation pile?” Mom pulled a long face. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mom was right and I put my favourite skipping rope into the donation plie first. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Why do you put so much useless stuff in the donation pile?” Mom pulled a long face. Tex and Tex changed nervous glances, not knowing how to respond. I said in a low voice, “We just…don’t want to part with the things we love.” Mom’s expression softened. “I understand how you feel, but the stuff we donate should be useful indeed. What if you were the receiver? How would you feel receiving the trash?” she said seriously. I lowered my head, pondering over her words. Mom was right and I put my favorite skipping rope into the donation pile first. Seeing this, Tex followed me by adding in his Lego blocks. We realized that these toys could bring joy to other kids, just like they had brought happiness to us. With the new mindset, we found that giving away things wasn’t as hard as we had thought. Eyes shining with pride and relief, Mom joined us. With each item we added, a growing sense of warmth filled our hearts. And this time, I must admit, happy was the word I’d choose to describe our sorting. 【解析】 【导语】本文以捐赠物品为线索展开，讲述了作者和家人一起整理车库并决定捐赠物品给社区中心的过程，展现了作者从不愿意捐赠心爱物品到最终理解并积极参与捐赠的心路历程。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““你们怎么把这么多没用的东西放进捐赠堆里？”妈妈拉长了脸。”以及第二段首句内容“妈妈说得对，我率先把自己最喜欢的跳绳放进了捐赠堆。”可知，第一段可描写作者的妈妈向作者和Tex解释了何为捐赠。 ②由第二段首句内容“妈妈说得对，我率先把自己最喜欢的跳绳放进了捐赠堆。”可知，第二段可描写作者和Tex终于明白了捐赠可以给他人和自己带来快乐。 2.续写线索：看到没用捐赠物，妈妈生气——作者说明自己并不想和喜欢的东西分开——妈妈解释捐赠的意义——作者捐赠喜欢的跳绳——Tex也放入了自己喜欢的乐高积木——意识到这些东西也会给接受者带来快乐——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回复：respond/reply ②想要：want to/would like to ③意识到：realize/come to know 情绪类 ①严肃地：seriously/in a serious manner ②快乐：joy/delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】I understand how you feel, but the stuff we donate should be useful indeed.（运用了how引导的宾语从句和省略关系代词that/which的定语从句） 【高分句型2】Eyes shining with pride and relief, Mom joined us.（运用了独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024~2025学年第一学期高二年级期末学业诊断 英语试卷 （考试时间：上午10:15~12:15） 说明：本试卷为闭卷笔答，答题时间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写到答题卡上。 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?

B I pressed my face against the school-bus window as we passed the giant movie screen rising over the trees — “Galaxy Drive-In”, one sign said, while another said sadly “CLOSED”. Across the wall, a vast parking lot with wild weeds growing everywhere could be seen clearly. “It’s wired, you know,” said the girl sitting two rows in front of me. “Sometimes movies play there all by themselves!” I told my mom when I got home retelling the girl’s words from the bus, “Someone’s been playing movies there!” “I doubt it, Jared,” Mom said. “It closed a couple of years ago.” But at night, I heard music and saw sparkling lights on the screen. What on earth happened there? To find out the truth, the next day, we went to explore the drive-in. It was like stepping into a forgotten world. As we continued our investigation, an old man, who we later knew as Nick, got out, and claimed he was the one playing old movies there. He recalled the drive-in’s golden days — 300 cars on a good night, but later, the industry changed and the need for a costly digital projector (放映机) forced him to close up. He then invited us to stay and watch a movie. As the credit rolled, mom asked if he’d consider reopening with a new projector. Nick sighed he would if he could afford it. That night, I had an idea. With Nick’s permission, I penned a letter to the local newspaper, asking the community for help to fund a digital projector. For a while, only a few hundred dollars came in. But then, Nick called with excitement. An organization that preserved old theaters had seen my letter and started an online fundraising. A year later, the Galaxy was thriving again. Nick was overjoyed, and on a good night, we saw 300 cars fill the lot. And I? I got a free bucket of popcorn, a sweet reward for inspiring a community effort to bring the Galaxy Drive-In back to life. 4. What do we know from paragraph 1? A. The girl was making up a story. B. The cinema was in poor condition. C. The author had an exciting journey. D. The author showed no interest in movies. 5. What was the main reason for the cinema’s shut-down? A.

Organize a community sale. C. Ask for suggestions from school. D. Write a letter to local newspaper. 7. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. A Hard Time for an Old Man B. A Cinema that can Run on its Own C. A Special Drive-in: A Mystery Revealed D. A Community’s Effort: Saving an Old Cinema C Most people tend to think of cities as places lacking nature, but indeed cities aren’t just concrete (混凝土) jungles but are actually bustling with wildlife and nature. According to a study in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, urban landscapes are more than just human habitats; they also provide special opportunities for wildlife conservation. “As a city kid growing up during the 1980s, I was fascinated with birds nesting on the top of my neighbour’s roof, which sparked my interest in birds and nature,” said Frank La Sorte, a researcher at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. He believes that by observing our feathered friends in the city, we can see nature as an essential part of our well-being. Protecting nature is like giving ourselves a high-five. To document the value of cities to birds, the research team from Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Auburn University, and Rutgers University, decided to put cities under the microscope. They mixed and matched bird sightings from citizen scientists of eBird program, endangered species lists, critical habitats, and 2020 U.S. census (普查) data. The team found that natural areas within cities could mean increased access to resources, warmer temperatures and shelters from natural disasters for birds. They also suggest that these green spaces should even allow for unique reappearing opportunities for species, which is not possible in their natural habitats. But, they also caution that cities aren’t always the safest choice for wildlife, which means updating our views of cities as places where we can connect with nature is the first step to stop biodiversity loss. So, next time you’re taking a walk down the street, look up, and look around. You might just spot a nature scene that’s right beside you. Our urban jungles have thrived. Cities are the new frontier for wildlife conservation. 8. What is the updated idea about the relation between the city and nature? A. Cities are friendly to wildlife. B. Cities hold no place for nature. C. Cities have no impact on nature. D. Cities are rich in natural resources. 9. What inspired Frank La Sorte’s passion for birds? A. His interest shared with his friends. B. His childhood spent in the countryside. C. His sighting of birds in the neighborhood. D. His research in Cornell Lab of Ornithology. 10. How can cities contribute to the protection of birds? A. By providing natural areas to shelter birds. B. By reducing the number of birds’ enemies. C. By making cities less exposed to disasters. D. By introducing new species to the rural areas. 11. What does the author call on people to do in the last paragraph? A. Have a healthy and balanced lifestyle. B. Be an observer of nature in cities. C. Stop urbanization to keep biodiversity. D. Make frequent visits to the jungles. D I recently watched The Martian, a 2015 American science fiction adventure film directed by Ridley Scott, and I must say, it left a lasting impression on me. The screenplay by Drew Goddard, based on Andy Weir’s novel, has gained widespread reputation for its scientific accuracy and engaging plot. The film tells the story of the astronaut Mark Watney, played by Matt Damon, who is mistakenly assumed dead and left behind on Mars during a mission. Facing extreme loneliness and survival challenges, Watney never gives up when facing the extreme environment on Mars and keeps trying to survive and find a way back to the Earth. He uses his knowledge and creativity to figure out ways to grow food and make water with limited resources on Mars. The Martian is more than just a survival story. Its celebration of human perseverance and intelligence in the most abject situations is what touched me most. I was on the edge of my seat as Watney worked tirelessly alongside NASA teams and international scientists to find a way back home. The humor, thrilling plot, and unexpected fun kept me engaged throughout the film. The movie also shows the collaborative efforts of NASA and other international space agencies to rescue Watney. It gives a more down-to-earth picture of how such organizations operate during a crisis, including the decision-making processes, the cooperation between different teams on Earth and in space. This is in contrast to other science fiction films that might simplify or overstate the role of such institutions. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A The introduction to the actor. B. The plot of the movie. C. The feedback from the audience. D. The impact of the story. 13. What does the underlined word “abject” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Hopeless. B. Exciting. C. Steady. D. Accessible. 14. What feature distinguishes The Martian from other science fiction films? A. The plot twists of the movie. B. The significance of the novel. C. The black humor of the character. D. The display of international cooperation. 15. What message does the text focus on? A. Space travel is a risky business. B. Mars is a possible planet to live on. C.

If it’s in good condition, we can donate it to people who can really use it.” As usual, our family would donate stuff to our community center every year. “This year, you’re old enough to decide for yourselves now! You two can have the whole afternoon to go through what’s here,” said Mom. “Please donate only the things that kids in our community really use or truly need. Happy sorting!” But happy was not the word I’d choose to describe our sorting. After Mom left, we both just stood there, staring at the boxes of old stuff for a long time. Then my eyes fixed on a set of colorful Lego blocks. “No way. I don’t want to say goodbye to my blocks! Why don’t we give away your skipping rope?” Tex yelled loudly. I shook my head firmly. And that’s how it went for the next hour. Each decision felt so complicated that it was much easier to put nearly everything back to its position. “Look!” Tex pointed. “A cool old toy car with only one wheel. Hard to fix. It’s the best choice for us to donate the broken ones like this.” How clever he was! After all, neither of us was willing to part with our beloved possessions forever. We’d rather have them lie abandoned or unnoticed in our garage. We took immediate action and put all the broken toys, and board games with missing pieces in the donation pile. Now, sorting stuff out in this way did make us much happier. At this moment, Mom came back to see how it was going. 注意： (1)词数应为120个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Why do you put so much useless stuff in the donation pile?” Mom pulled a long face. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mom was right and I put my favourite skipping rope into the donation plie first. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
