河南省开封市杞县2024-2025学年高三下学期开学 英语试题 第二部分 阅读 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分) A The 9th Asian Winter Games will kick off on February 7, 2025 in Harbin, Heilongjiang province. There will be 34 countries and regions — the most in the event's history — taking part in the Games. Here are some fun facts about the Games. Torch (火炬) The torch stands 735 mm tall and is inspired by a beautiful lilac (丁香花) , Harbin's city flower. The theme of its design, “Surging”, aims to express the strong energy of life in nature. It shows that the 9th Asian Winter Games will be filled with enthusiasm and passion. The design of the torch takes the form of a flowering lilac, integrating colors such as China Red, Lilac Purple and Snow White, symbolizing the sincerity, warmth, openness, and inclusiveness of Heilongjiang province and the characteristics of the host city, Harbin. Emblem (徽章) The emblem, named “Breakthrough”, combines symbols of short track speed skaters, flowing ribbons (丝带) and lilacs. Its colors, in shades of blue and purple, reflect the beauty of sunlight on ice and snow. The figure’s shape looks like the Chinese character “九”, representing the 9th Games, and “合”, representing unity and friendship. Through this emblem, Harbin extends a warm welcome and expresses hopes for shared growth among Asian countries. Mascots (吉祥物) The mascots for the Games, Binbin and Nini, are two lovable Siberian tigers. Binbin represents ice sports and wears ice skates, while Nini, representing snow sports, rides a snowboard. Their names — “Binbin” from “Harbin” and “Nini” from the Chinese word for “you” — come together to form a message: “Harbin welcomes you! ” These tiger mascots were inspired by two real tigers born in Harbin and represent values of strength, courage and positivity. Events The upcoming Games will feature 64 events in total, with 31% making their first appearance, including new events in speed skating, short track speed skating and ski mountaineering. Notably, ski mountaineering will also be included in the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, making the Asian Winter Games a testing ground for the sport. 1. Where did the idea for the torch come from? A. A cute animal in Siberia. B. A speed ice skater in action. C. A flowing ribbon in the wind. D. A beautiful flower of the host city. 2.

One of the events will be included in the Olympics. B. The number of athlete participants will break the record. C. Half of the events will appear at the Games for the first time. D. Many new events will be tested for the Olympics at the Games. B Jake was about two years old when we adopted him from a local animal shelter. He came into our lives shortly after my beloved dog Martha passed away due to an unexpected illness. One day we went to the shelter searching for a female dog to bring into our home. Instead, we found Jake, a male, sitting tall, proud and silent in the middle of all that were barking. Jake immediately became a loved member of our family. He loved playing with the dog next door and other dogs in the park, but he would never allow cats to be around him. One day I found a litter of wild cats in our woodpile. Although I’d been a “dog person” all my life and had never shared my life with a cat, my heart broke for them at that moment. They were only about four weeks old. Their mother was nowhere in sight. I put them into a box and brought them inside. On seeing them, Jake barked fiercely. It was clear that we couldn’t keep the cats. One year after the cat experience I saw Jake staring at the ground. There at his feet was a tiny cat. Jake just looked at the cat, then looked at me, and then looked back at the cat. I heard some meowing, and discovered another cat nearby. So I brought them into the house with a box. I bought baby bottles and cat milk and fed them. The next morning, I found three more tiny cats lying in a pile outside the door. So I took them in. Now we had five little cats. I told them how much I’d have loved to welcome them into our family, but it could never be. With tears in my eyes, I picked up the phone to call the vet (兽医) who would take the cats out of my life forever. At that same moment, my eyes fell on Jake, calmly observing everything going on around him. I felt something different. Jake walked over. Then he sat down in the middle of them and looked up at me with a sweet smile. The cats crowded over him, happy to find a big, warm body of fur to curl up next to. That’s when Jake opened his heart to the five little cats and adopted them as his own. 4. What was the author’s first impression of Jake? A. He stood out in the animal shelter. B. He met their original expectation. C. He could be a good companion. D. He was similar to Martha in many ways. 5. How did the author probably feel when she found the wild cats? A. Scared. B. Disappointed. C. Fortunate. D. Sympathetic. 6. What brought tears to the author’s eyes? A. The sense of something different in Jake. B. The difficulty of getting through to the vet. C. The thought of having to say goodbye to the cats. D. The realization of his dream of raising cats. 7. What message does the author try to deliver in the last paragraph? A. The family’s dependence on Jake. B. Jake’s sincere affection for the five cats. C. The author’s arrangement for the five cats. D. The five cats’ healing power for the author. C Cellphone technology has certainly evolved as predicted over the last few decades, but what about the debate over their use in schools? Back in 2006, one fault line was already emerging between educators concerned about cellphone misuse in class and parents concerned about not being able to communicate with their children. The popularity of phone bans has yo-yoed since then, from a high of 91 percent of public schools prohibiting nonacademic use of cellphones in the 2009-2010 school year; the number dipped as low as 66percent in 2015-2016 but has since rebounded to 76 percent in 2021-2022. Of course, the debate over cellphones in school has never been as clear-cut as educators vs. parents. Middle school administrator Matt Levinson saw a fork in the road ahead of teachers in a 2009 essay: “They can continue fighting a losing battle and draw cruel lines in the sand, confiscating (没收) cellphones or banning their use during school hours. Or, they can seize the teachable moment, and shift their approaches to embrace technology and engage students with these devices.” But for teachers in schools without a clear cellphone policy, finding those academic applications for smartphones amid the TikTok distractions (干扰) is no easy task. Psychology professor Jean M. Twenge, who dug through data from 11,000 teens to conclude that “not all screen time is created equal,” laid down some dos and don’ts for cellphone access in the blog. But not everyone is optimistic about finding a middle ground between an endless distraction and a productive learning tool. In a widely read 2016 essay, teacher Steve Gardiner had another word for his students’ relationships to their phones: addiction, “We have incentives to promote attendance and graduation, but many teenagers need help, because their bodies are in the classroom, but their minds are inside their cellphones,” he said. For some teachers that cellphone dependency has gotten bad enough to sour them on the profession entirely. That’s the story of high school biology teacher Mitchell Rutherford, who decided to quit teaching because of the exhaustion (筋疲力尽) he felt from competing with cellphones for students’ attention. 8. What can be learned about the popularity of phone bans? A. It does benefit teachers a lot. B. It has decreased the misuse in class. C. It allows for nonacademic use. D. It experiences ups and downs. 9. What does the underlined phrase “a fork in the road” in paragraph 4 mean? A. A U-turning road. B. A teaching guidebook. C. Different choices. D. Various teaching styles. 10. What’s Steve Gardiner’s attitude toward students’ using cellphones? A. Negative. B. Mixed. C. Tolerant. D. Uncaring. 11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Some teachers in school are not capable of teaching. B. The use of cellphones in school should be banned. C. It is beneficial to compete with cellphones for students’ focus. D. Getting along with students makes some teachers feel exhausted. D Astronomers have searched for years for rocky planets outside our solar system. They finally found one with an atmosphere. Scientists believe that a rocky planet with an atmosphere is key to sustaining life. But the planet that astronomers found offers no hope for life. Its surface is made up of molten (熔化的) rocks. The planet orbits extremely close to its star. The star is less bright and smaller than our own. Researchers recently called the planet a “Super-Earth”. It is a rocky world much larger than our planet but smaller than the gas giant in our solar system, Neptune (海王星) . Observations using two devices aboard the James Webb Space Telescope suggest there is an atmosphere. But the atmosphere may not be able to support life. It could be continuously filled up by gases that large areas of molten rocks release. The atmosphere is likely rich in carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide, but can also have other gases such as water vapor and sulfur dioxide. Current observations cannot tell what the exact atmospheric makeup is. The Webb data also did not make clear the thickness of the atmosphere. It could be as thick as Earth’s or even thicker than that of Venus. Venus has a poisonous atmosphere that is the thickest in our solar system. The planet is called 55 Cancri e. Scientists also call it Janssen. It is about 8.8 times more massive than Earth and about two times as wide. It orbits its star at one-25th the distance between our solar system’s innermost planet Mercury (水星) and the sun. As a result, its surface temperature is about 1,725 degrees Celsius. One side of the planet probably always faces its star. Four other planets, all gas giants, are known to orbit the same star. The planet is found in our Milky Way galaxy, about 41 light years from Earth. A light year is the distance light travels in a year, or 9.5 trillion kilometers. 12. What can we know about the “Super-Earth”? A. It’s about the size of Earth. B. It has the same air as Earth. C. It might support life in the future. D. It contains rocks and an atmosphere. 13. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The planet’s position in the universe. B. The planet’s history of development. C. The planet’s information of atmosphere. D. The planet’s similarity to Earth. 14. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. The planet has no neighboring planets. B. The planet has high surface temperature. C. The planet is eight times the size of Earth. D. The planet is far away from the Milky Way galaxy. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Astronomers Have Found a “Super-Earth”. B. Scientists Seek New Planet for Mankind. C. Earth Is the Only Place to Keep Life in Space. D. Planets with Atmosphere Don’t Always Have Life. 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A little bit of stress can help you stay focused, energetic, and able to meet new challenges in the workplace. ____16____ But today, the workplace too often seems like an emotional roller coaster.

At 6 o’clock, while I was on my way to my uncle's, there was a lady who was asking for a lift. I could sense that she was in a hurry, and it was too early to find a car at such a time. I stopped my car, picked her up and dropped her where I could. She thanked me and left. I was happy that I did what I did. Then, around 7: 00 pm, I left my uncle’s house. Because I drank with my uncle, I hired a driver. Since it was getting late to reach back home and began to rain hard, I was as anxious and restless. On the way, the driver put on the brakes a bit too hard and the vehicle stopped in the middle of the road. I was frustrated, and a little part of me wanted to help by pushing the vehicle or doing something else, but a major part of me wanted to leave the car behind, book a taxi and leave the place. I was fighting in this decision-making and acted upon neither, while the car driver was trying his best to get the vehicle started, by starting the engine again and again. Seeing us stuck there, a load car stopped. There came two men from the load car, and they offered to help us out by pushing our vehicle. Our car had managed to get started by itself by the time the helpers came, but that little act of kindness seemed so special and put a smile on my face as well as the driver’s. When we both thanked the two of them, they didn’t even make it a bit deal and was rather surprised that we were even thanking for such a small act I felt a little embarrassed that I did not offer to help as the helpers did. 注意： 1. 续写词数应150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 So I offered to invite them to my house to escape the heavy rain. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, after breakfast, the three said goodbye to us. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 河南省开封市杞县2024-2025学年高三下学期开学 英语试题 第二部分 阅读 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分) A 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.

So we drove together happily through the rain and soon arrived at my home. My wife was delighted to welcome the guests who came a long way. We offered our guests snacks and fruit to enjoy while resting. My wife and I went to the kitchen and prepared a good meal. We ate, talked and had a wonderful evening. I finally tasted the joy of doing good for others. The next morning, after breakfast, the three said goodbye to us. They thanked us heartily for our kind treat, which I said was a reward for their earlier kindness. The two load car drivers were so moved by the experience that they offered to help the driver I hired. They knew the driver wanted to go back to the downtown, but had no car. They offered to give the driver a lift. I believe this spread of goodwill makes our world a better place. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
