However, choosing where to go and what to do isn’t easy in Boston. Here are some must-sees you simply can’t miss when you visit the city. Downtown Crossing The Downtown Crossing is an intersection (交汇处) of three major city streets: Washington, Winter, and Summer Streets. It’s home to some of the best shopping available in Boston, with plenty of walkable malls and parks to enjoy. Most of the well-known store brands have a storefront here. In addition, there are also many outdoor spaces. Freedom Trail The Freedom Trail is an unusual collection of museums, churches, meetinghouses, burial grounds, parks, a ship, and historic markers that tell the story of the American Revolution and beyond. It begins at the Boston Common and ends at the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown. Walking here, every step tells a story. Boston Harborwalk The Boston Harborwalk is a public boardwalk (木板路). This impressive waterfront is still under construction (在修建中). When fully completed，it will extend (延伸) 47 miles from East Boston, through Charles River and Millers River, to the Neponset River.

He held his arms wide and announced his retirement after working for the Postal Service for thirty-three years. But as time went by, I could tell that Tom had nothing to do at home. He began to pace like a lion, glancing out the windows. “I think I’ll look for a part-time job,” Tom informed me one day. I felt instant relief. The lion would cease circling, and I could be in peace. We kept our eyes open for job opportunities. A few days later, when our car crept behind a school bus, I remarked “You could drive that bus.” He had driven us over the mountain s through rainstorms on winding roads. Behind the wheel, he seemed fearless. “Of course, I could drive that bus,” he answered back. “But could I drive it with forty-five children bouncing and yelling in the back?” We both laughed at the thought. That bus became the bumblebee (大黄蜂) that buzzed around me. I pictured Tom happily going off to work again, climbing behind the wheel and setting off on his daily route. My enthusiasm must have attracted Tom because I overheard him on the phone with the transportation department. He was hired. The very next morning, he was given a bus and a route sheet. Driving the bus turned out rewarding, and Tom is blooming in his new role. I think he likes being the “big guy” on the road. He is now “Mr. Tom” to his riders and their parents. I hear he is quite amazing. When the pre-K children climb aboard, he fastens the safety belt for them. He greets the children with high-fives. Then he leads them in a quick and fun activity, where they get to shout after hours spent in their quiet classroom. “Goodbye, teachers!” yells Mr. Tom. The little ones repeat it. “Goodbye, school!” Again, they repeat, joyfully. Mr. Tom then yells out the last two lines, and the children laugh and repeat at the top of their lungs. He has been driving the bus for seven years and has gotten lots of thank-notes from grateful parents. Sometimes, while a school bus passes me, it always warms my heart when the driver is the one I’m hoping to see and I catch the kiss he blows me. 4. Why did Tom decide to look for a part-time job after retirement? A. He was bored at home. B. He missed interacting with people. C. He needed extra money. D. His wife wanted peace in the house. 5. What was Tom’s initial reaction when his wife suggested he drive a school bus? A. He thought it was a silly idea. B. He was excited to accept the job. C. He didn’t think he was qualified for the job. D. He was unsure if he could handle the disorderly children. 6. What does the author appreciate most about Tom’s new job? A. It keeps him occupied. B. He can interact with children. C. He overcomes his fear. D. He has found fulfillment in his work. 7 What qualities does Tom demonstrate as a bus driver? A. Patience, kindness and responsibility. B. Carefulness, discipline and authority. C. Enthusiasm, leadership and courage. D. Sensitivity, flexibility and humor. C Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami, adding weight to the idea that they have a “sixth sense” for disasters, experts said on Thursday. Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island’s coast seemingly missed wild beasts, with no dead animals found. “No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit. I think animals can sense disaster. They have a ‘sixth sense’. They know when things are happening,” H.D. Ratnayake, director of Sri Lanka’s Wildlife Department, said on Wednesday. The waves washed floodwaters up to 3 km (2 miles) inland at Yala National Park in the southeast, Sri Lanka’s biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants. “There has been a lot of evidence (证据) about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. But it has not been proved.” said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behaviour specialist at Johannesburg Zoo. “There have been no specific studies because you can’t really test it in a lab or field setting,” he said. Other authorities agreed with this conclusion. “Wildlife seems to be able to pick up certain signs, especially birds. There are many reports of birds detecting coming disasters,” said Clive Walker, who has written several books on African wildlife. Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators (掠食动物). The idea of an animal “sixth sense” is a lasting one that the evidence on Sri Lanka’s damaged coast is likely to add to. 8. What happened after the Indian Ocean tsunami? A. Many people died but wild animals survived. B. The “six sense” of wild animals developed C. Wild beasts were killed or went missing D. The coast was found in good condition. 9 What does H.D. Ratnayake do? A. He is a zoo keeper. B. He is a wildlife official. C. He is a movie director. D. He is an animal behaviour expert. 10. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “detecting” in paragraph 5? A. Taking up. B. Putting up. C. Picking up. D. Bringing up. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Animals can save themselves from human activity. B. Animals’ natural power to escape from danger. C. How to protect wildlife when disasters happen. D. The serious damage of the Indian Ocean tsunami. D Ants know when an earthquake is about to strike, researchers have discovered. Their behavior changes greatly before the quake and they resume normal functioning only a day after it. Gabriele Berberich of the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany presented these findings according to Live Science. Berberich and her team discovered that red wood ants preferred to build their homes right along active faults (断层) in Germany. They counted 15,000 mounds (土堆) lining the faults. These faults are the places where the earth breaks in earthquakes. Using a special camera that tracked changes in activity, Berberich and her team tracked the ants round the clock for three years. They found that the ants’ behavior changed only when the quake was over magnitude 2.0. There were 10 earthquakes between magnitude 2.0 and 3.2 during this period, and many smaller ones. Humans can also sense quakes over magnitude 2.0 only. According to Berberich, normal ant activity is made up of going about collecting food during the day and resting in the night. But before an earthquake, the ants didn’t go back to their mound in the night and moved around outside it. This strange behavior continued till a day after the earthquake, Berberich told a news conference, according to Live Science. How do ants know an earthquake is coming? Berberich suggested that they could either be picking up changing gas or noting small changes in the earth’s magnetic fields (磁场). “Red wood ants have special cells which can sense changes in carbon dioxide levels. They also have special cells for discovering electromagnetic fields,” she said. Berberich and her team are planning to continue the research in areas where there are more and bigger earthquakes. 12. What does the underlined word “resume” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. present. B. avoid. C. quit. D. recover. 13. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To explain a finding. B. To introduce the topic. C. To make the text interesting. D. To tell how to predict an earthquake. 14. What happens to the ants before an earthquake? A. They are too excited to rest. B. They don’t collect their food. C. They get lost on their way back home. D. They don’t go inside their mound in the night. 15. What can be learned about the ants from the passage? A. They can only sense smaller earthquakes. B. They have two ways to predict earthquakes. C. The result of the research is completely reliable. D. They can be depended on to warn people of earthquakes. 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。 Many people find it hard to get excited about learning new vocabulary because they believe it is only about rote memorization (死记硬背) . ____16____Whether you’re learning a new language or improving your current one, there are a variety of tools you can use to help you really learn, not just memorize new words. ★Integrate (融入) the new words into your environment.

She was beautiful, kind and helpful. She lived with her mother, who was a single mother. Her mother worked in a factory, unable to make much money. So they were living a poor life. But that didn’t prevent them from helping people who were in trouble. Her mother always told Mary that she just needed to do good deeds and good luck would come naturally. Their kindness earned them the respect and praise from their neighbors, and in turn, they often helped the mother and daughter whenever they needed. Mary graduated from high school this year and then she successfully entered a university. To save money, she chose a university not far from her home. This way she could still stay at home with her mother, which would save a lot of money. But other costs of the university still weighed heavily on them. Among all the necessities, she badly needed a computer, which meant quite a lot of money. Mary knew that her mother could not offer her the money to buy her a computer. She felt sad, but she told her mother about it anyway. They came up with a lot of ideas, but they didn’t think they were proper. Finally they decided to ask for help online. Soon, a kind person offered to give her a used laptop. The mother and daughter were very happy. They were very thankful for the man’s generous help. Soon after, Mary received an almost brand-new laptop. Mary carried it happily to school every day. One day Mary went to school as usual. On her way, she saw a little boy coming out of a shop. Suddenly he ran into the middle of the busy road. The child’s mother might be too careless, and she did not notice the child run out by himself. Facing the danger, Mary jumped off her bike and rushed to the middle of the road to carry the child to safety. The child was saved, but Mary fell to the ground with her laptop. 注意：1．续写词数应150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The people around came running to help Mary up from the ground. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ An owner of a computer repair shop happened to be standing nearby. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高一年级英语月考试卷 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。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.

Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island’s coast seemingly missed wild beasts, with no dead animals found. “No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit. I think animals can sense disaster. They have a ‘sixth sense’. They know when things are happening,” H.D. Ratnayake, director of Sri Lanka’s Wildlife Department, said on Wednesday. The waves washed floodwaters up to 3 km (2 miles) inland at Yala National Park in the southeast, Sri Lanka’s biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants. “There has been a lot of evidence (证据) about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. But it has not been proved.” said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behaviour specialist at Johannesburg Zoo. “There have been no specific studies because you can’t really test it in a lab or field setting,” he said. Other authorities agreed with this conclusion. “Wildlife seems to be able to pick up certain signs, especially birds. There are many reports of birds detecting coming disasters,” said Clive Walker, who has written several books on African wildlife. Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators (掠食动物). The idea of an animal “sixth sense” is a lasting one that the evidence on Sri Lanka’s damaged coast is likely to add to. 8. What happened after the Indian Ocean tsunami? A. Many people died but wild animals survived. B. The “six sense” of wild animals developed C. Wild beasts were killed or went missing D. The coast was found in good condition. 9. What does H.D. Ratnayake do? A. He is a zoo keeper. B. He is a wildlife official. C. He is a movie director. D. He is an animal behaviour expert. 10. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “detecting” in paragraph 5? A. Taking up. B. Putting up. C. Picking up. D. Bringing up. 11. What is the text mainly about? A Animals can save themselves from human activity. B. Animals’ natural power to escape from danger. C. How to protect wildlife when disasters happen. D. The serious damage of the Indian Ocean tsunami. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了印度洋海啸之后许多人死了，但野生动物活了下来。文章还列举了其他一些动物会躲避危险的例子。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island’s coast seemingly missed wild beasts, with no dead animals found.(斯里兰卡野生动物官员表示，印度洋岛屿沿岸造成2.4万多人死亡的海浪似乎与野生动物擦肩而过，没有发现死亡的动物)”可知，印度洋海啸之后许多人死了，但野生动物活了下来。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit. I think animals can sense disaster. They have a ‘sixth sense’. They know when things are happening,” H.D. Ratnayake, director of Sri Lanka’s Wildlife Department, said on Wednesday.(“没有大象死亡，甚至没有一只野兔或兔子死亡。我认为动物能感知灾难。它们有“第六感”。它们知道什么时候有事情发生，”斯里兰卡野生动物部主任H.D. Ratnayake周三说)”可知，H.D. Ratnayake是野生动物官员。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Wildlife seems to be able to pick up certain signs, especially birds.”可知，野生动物似乎能够捕捉到某些信号，尤其是鸟类。因此有很多关于鸟类发现即将到来的灾难的报道。故划线词意思是“发现，认识”。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami, adding weight to the idea that they have a “sixth sense” for disasters, experts said on Thursday.(专家于周四表示，野生动物似乎躲过了印度洋海啸，这进一步证实了它们对灾难有“第六感”的说法)”可知，文章主要说明了印度洋海啸之后许多人死了，但野生动物活了下来，文章还列举了其他一些动物会躲避危险的例子。由此可知，这篇文章的主要内容是动物逃避危险的自然力量。故选B。 D Ants know when an earthquake is about to strike, researchers have discovered. Their behavior changes greatly before the quake and they resume normal functioning only a day after it. Gabriele Berberich of the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany presented these findings according to Live Science. Berberich and her team discovered that red wood ants preferred to build their homes right along active faults (断层) in Germany. They counted 15,000 mounds (土堆) lining the faults. These faults are the places where the earth breaks in earthquakes. Using a special camera that tracked changes in activity, Berberich and her team tracked the ants round the clock for three years. They found that the ants’ behavior changed only when the quake was over magnitude 2.0. There were 10 earthquakes between magnitude 2.0 and 3.2 during this period, and many smaller ones. Humans can also sense quakes over magnitude 2.0 only. According to Berberich, normal ant activity is made up of going about collecting food during the day and resting in the night. But before an earthquake, the ants didn’t go back to their mound in the night and moved around outside it. This strange behavior continued till a day after the earthquake, Berberich told a news conference, according to Live Science. How do ants know an earthquake is coming? Berberich suggested that they could either be picking up changing gas or noting small changes in the earth’s magnetic fields (磁场). “Red wood ants have special cells which can sense changes in carbon dioxide levels. They also have special cells for discovering electromagnetic fields,” she said. Berberich and her team are planning to continue the research in areas where there are more and bigger earthquakes. 12. What does the underlined word “resume” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. present. B. avoid. C. quit. D. recover. 13. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A To explain a finding. B. To introduce the topic. C. To make the text interesting. D. To tell how to predict an earthquake. 14. What happens to the ants before an earthquake? A. They are too excited to rest. B. They don’t collect their food. C. They get lost on their way back home. D. They don’t go inside their mound in the night. 15. What can be learned about the ants from the passage? A. They can only sense smaller earthquakes. B. They have two ways to predict earthquakes. C. The result of the research is completely reliable. D. They can be depended on to warn people of earthquakes. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过对红木蚁的追踪研究发现，蚂蚁能预测地震的发生。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段的“Ants know when an earthquake is about to strike, researchers have discovered. Their behavior changes greatly before the quake and they resume normal functioning only a day after it.( 研究人员发现，蚂蚁知道地震何时会来袭。它们的行为在地震前发生了很大的变化，地震后一天就能resume正常功能)”推知，测蚂蚁的行为在地震前发生很大变化，震后就能恢复正常功能，故resume意为“恢复”，和recover同义，故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。第一段中“Ants know when an earthquake is about to strike, researchers have discovered.( 研究人员发现，蚂蚁知道地震何时会来袭)”提出了蚂蚁能预测地震的发生。接着在第二段到最后一段介绍了Berberich和她的同事对红木蚁的追踪研究，得出了红木蚁是如何知道地震的来临。由此推知，第一段是为了引出本文的主题。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“But before an earthquake, the ants didn’t go back to their mound in the night and moved around outside it.( 但在地震发生前，蚂蚁不会在夜里回到它们的土丘，而是在土丘外面活动)”可知地震前蚂蚁不会在夜里进入他们的土丘。故选D。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Berberich suggested that they could either be picking up changing gas or noting small changes in the earth’s magnetic fields (磁场). “Red wood ants have special cells which can sense changes in carbon dioxide levels. They also have special cells for discovering electromagnetic fields,” she said.( Berberich认为，他们要么是在捕捉变化中的气体，要么是在记录地球磁场的微小变化。“红木蚁有特殊的细胞，可以感知二氧化碳水平的变化。它们还有发现电磁场的特殊细胞，”她说)”可知，红木蚁有特殊的细胞，可以检测二氧化碳含量的变化。他们也有特殊的细胞来探测电磁场。由此判断出，蚂蚁可能有两种方法来预测地震，即检测二氧化碳的变化和探测电磁场。故选B。 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。 Many people find it hard to get excited about learning new vocabulary because they believe it is only about rote memorization (死记硬背) . ____16____Whether you’re learning a new language or improving your current one, there are a variety of tools you can use to help you really learn, not just memorize new words. ★Integrate (融入) the new words into your environment.

(在你经常去的地方，比如浴室或厨房，挂上大张白纸。当你看到新单词和它们的意思时，把它们添加到挂纸上。)”可知，把生词融入你的生活环境，即：把写有新单词的大白纸挂在你经常出入的地方，通过与新单词经常见面来加深单词记忆，B项“That way you’ll find yourself frequently noticing them. (这样你就会发现自己经常注意到它们。)”，句中的That way指代上文的“把生词融入你的生活环境”的方法，上下文衔接连贯顺畅，故选B项。 【18题详解】 本题考查小标题。根据下文“You can write new words into sentences related to your own life. For example, if you want to learn to use the word ‘azure’, a bright blue color, write it into several sentences that relate to your current situation: ‘My new cup is a beautiful azure color.’ (你可以把与自己生活有关的新单词编成句子。例如，如果你想学习使用‘蔚蓝’这个词，一种明亮的蓝色，把它写成几个与你当前情况相关的句子：‘我的新杯子是一个美丽的蔚蓝色。’)”可知，下文为举例说明，要记住新词汇，就得把它运用在与自己平时生活相关的句子里，A项“Make the new words part of your life. (让新单词成为你生活的一部分。)”，A项与下文语意一致，适合作本段的小标题。故选A项。 【19题详解】 本段的小标题为“★Turn learning into an educational game. (把学习变成一种教育游戏。)”，上文“The more fun you can make your vocabulary learning time, the more likely you are to do it. There are a number of free vocabulary-learning games online. (你越能让你的词汇学习变得有趣，你就越有可能去做。网上有很多免费的词汇学习游戏。)”可知，网上有有趣的词汇学习游戏有助于记忆单词，D项“Make the most of these resources and you will make unexpected progress.(充分利用这些资源，你会取得意想不到的进步。)”，these resources指代上文的a number of free vocabulary-learning games online，D项顺接上文，陈述了这个方法的结果。故选D项。 【20题详解】 本段的小标题为“★Revise the words. (复习这些单词。)”，下文“So even if you've got those words remembered, you still need a review. After revising them a couple of times, make sure you are confident with their use. (所以即使你记住了这些单词，你仍然需要复习。在复习几次之后，确保你对它们的使用有信心。)”可知，记忆单词得经常复习，E项“Not everyone has a great memory.

But that didn’t prevent them from helping people who were in trouble. Her mother always told Mary that she just needed to do good deeds and good luck would come naturally. Their kindness earned them the respect and praise from their neighbors, and in turn, they often helped the mother and daughter whenever they needed. Mary graduated from high school this year and then she successfully entered a university. To save money, she chose a university not far from her home. This way she could still stay at home with her mother, which would save a lot of money. But other costs of the university still weighed heavily on them. Among all the necessities, she badly needed a computer, which meant quite a lot of money. Mary knew that her mother could not offer her the money to buy her a computer. She felt sad, but she told her mother about it anyway. They came up with a lot of ideas, but they didn’t think they were proper. Finally they decided to ask for help online. Soon, a kind person offered to give her a used laptop. The mother and daughter were very happy. They were very thankful for the man’s generous help. Soon after, Mary received an almost brand-new laptop. Mary carried it happily to school every day. One day Mary went to school as usual. On her way, she saw a little boy coming out of a shop. Suddenly he ran into the middle of the busy road. The child’s mother might be too careless, and she did not notice the child run out by himself.
