Choosing the Best Indoor Skate Park for Your Family Now that you’re all stoked about indoor skate parks, it’s time to find the perfect one for your family’s needs.

Carly Burd, from Harlow, England, found the soil covered in salt and posted a touching video about the incident on TikTok. Burd, who has Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus (多发性硬化症和狼疮), told viewers she believed someone went onto her plot of land and placed salt to destroy the work that she’s put in to help feed people in need. Last November, Burd began posting about her “A Meal on Me with Love”. “I changed my garden into a place to provide those on benefits, pensioners (领养老金的人) on state pension and those on a low income free organic fruit and vegetables plus other necessities of life. They receive a large box that contains necessities plus enough food, fruit, vegetables,rice, breakfast etc. for the number of people in the household,” Burd said. Up till now she’s fed more than 1,600 people among the cost of living crisis in the UK. After Burd shared her heartbreak on TikTok users began providing lots of donations, advice, and support. Burd’s “A Meal on Me with Love” has been flooded with donations in light of this incident. As of Thursday morning, Burd’s GoFundMe campaign has raised £184,777 of its first £4,000 goal. “The world needs more people like you,” one person wrote with a $15 donation. “Your love and kindness for humanity is amazing. All of us would be so lucky to cross paths with someone like you in a time of need,” another person commented with a $10 donation. Burd said in an update that with the help of others she was able to dig up a lot of the salt and cover it with topsoil to neutralize (中和) it. “I’m really losing my head by everyone’s comments and everything,” she said. “I really do appreciate it — thank you.” 4. What does the underlined word “sabotaged” probably mean in Paragraph 1? A. Visited. B. Found. C. Destroyed. D. Protected. 5. What is “A Meal on Me with Love” in the text? A. A moving video. B.

Burd raised enough money to build a new garden. C Art is a reflection of society and culture. It helps us understand what we are as human beings and influences how we relate to each other. It’s also an expression of creativity that can be used for self-reflection or social influence. Art is important to individuals for many different reasons. Art is highly subjective and also very personal and has long been a medium where individuals can express their feelings and emotions. For many people, art has always been a part of their lives and is an essential part of their personality or who they are. Art has the ability to help people get through some of the hardest times in their lives. Art helps people connect with one another on a deeper level, whether by speaking your language or by imagining your thoughts differently. Some artworks speak to someone more than others, and everyone will have a piece of art that is particularly important or special to them. Art has been a part of human culture for many centuries. It has been used to express emotions, to communicate ideas and it has been a way to pass down knowledge from one generation to another. So it is important in our cultural and social lives. Art also plays a role in recording history, and many artworks help us paint a picture of what life was like in previous generations. Art is also particularly important as a symbol of culture across the world. Research has shown that art can affect the basic sense of self. Folk arts, for example, are highly unique to specific cultures and tell the history and rich traditions of a region. Painting, architecture, art sculpture, music, literature and many other fine arts can be considered a repository (宝库) of a given society’s collective memory. 8. What can art help people do according to the text? A. Deal with tough times. B. Make more money. C. Control their feelings. D. Connect with art works. 9. What can we infer from Paragraph 5? A. Art gives us an idea of how people lived in the past. B. The value of artworks hasn’t been discovered until now. C. Art is the best way to pass down knowledge in old times. D. People only use artworks to express feelings instead of words. 10. How does the author develop the last paragraph? A. By providing numbers. B. By giving an example. C. By exploring reasons. D. By having a discussion. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Why Is Art Important? B. Learn History from Art C. Where Can We Find Artworks? D. Pass Down the Artworks D When we talk about plastic rubbish polluting the earth, we don’t often talk about the environmental impacts caused by fast-food packaging. Actually, this packaging is often coated with environmentally damaging chemicals. Recently researchers from Flinders University and German biomaterials developer, one·five, have started using seaweed (海草) to solve the packaging waste problem of the fast-food industry. Using seaweed to create sustainable (可持续的) alternatives to existing products isn’t a new concept. The idea of turning seaweed into a material to replace bubble wrap (气泡膜包装) was put forward more than seven years ago. This time, the Flinders University materials researchers andone·five are using seaweed extracts (提取物) to develop next-generation coating materials. In fact, these new non-pollutive biomaterials are designed to replace the traditional fossil-based plastic coatings that are used in most oil-proof fast-food packaging. The new coating not only meets the required functionality standards of traditional oil-proof packaging materials but also works to create an environmentally sustainable solution. It is as recyclable as paper, explains Dr Zhongfan Jia, a lead researcher from the Flinders Institute. “The seaweed extracts have a similar structure to the natural fibres from which paper is made,” says Dr Jia. “Our novel treatments boost the oil-proof feature of the seaweed through simple adaptation while neither affecting the biodegradability (生物降解力) nor recyclability of the coated paper.” “The product could be great news for the environment. We are able to reduce harmful plastic pollution with it,” says Claire Gusko, co-founder of one· five. Now Flinders University and one·five are trying mass production from the laboratory to the factory. Although achievements like this are definitely worth celebrating, we can’t just stop at seaweed packaging. We need to use seaweed and other sustainable tools to effectively help reduce our environmental impacts and make real changes. 12. What’re researchers from Flinder University and one five doing? A. Producing seaweed extracts. B. Solving the food waste problem. C. Turning seaweed into bubble wrap. D. Using seaweed to develop new coating materials. 13. What is the traditional plastic coating like? A. Cheap. B. Oil-proof. C. Recyclable. D. Sustainable. 14. What do we know about the seaweed extract coating? A. It is a novel concept. B. It has been put on the market. C. It is environmentally friendly. D. It is coated with damaging material. 15. Why does the author write the text? A. To stop people from using plastic package. B. To advertise for a new environmentally friendly product. C. To introduce a replacement for traditional packaging material. D. To warn readers of the environmental impacts caused by fast-food packaging. 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。 How to Introduce Friends to Other Friends You may find that you have two friends that you really want to introduce to each other. ___16___.

Her older sister, Nina, was one seat ahead, acting as if this was the best day ever. But for Mia, it was the worst. It was the last day of swimming lessons. Test Day. “If I pass my test, I can sign up for Junior Lifeguarding over the summer,” Mia heard Nina telling her friend Julia. “You’ re the best swimmer in the class, Nina,” Julia said. “There’s just no way you wouldn’t pass.” Mia angrily kicked the back of their seat with her foot. “I thought sisters were supposed to be there for each other,” she whispered. An hour later, she held onto the edge of the pool, shivering (瑟瑟发抖). “For the last part of the test, you’ll all be swimming the width of the pool using the crawl stroke (自由泳),” the instructor, Michael, told the class. “Can we swim in the shallow end?” Mia asked. “Nope,” Michael said. “To pass Level 4, it has to be the deep end.” Mia was anxious. She didn’t know if she could swim all the way across without touching the bottom. “I’ll be watching from the other side,” Michael said. “Ready?” No! Mia thought. But Michael put the whistle to his lips and blew. Mia took a deep breath and pushed off. And Nina swam as light as the kickboard floating and passed the test very soon. But where was Mia? After a minute, Nina spotted her sister crossing the pool. Mia was way behind the others, and Nina could see why. For one thing, she lifted her whole head out of the water to breathe, instead of turning it to the side. That was a waste of energy. Even worse, she wasn’t swimming straight. When Mia stopped to check her position, her heart sank. Only halfway across! Some kids in her class were already at the wall, laughing and talking. Michael was bending over to talk to one of the kids. He didn’t see her. “Better keep going,” she thought. But she was tired. 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。 Nina kept her eyes on her sister’s slow progress. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Michael was about to jump in to help her when Mia felt strong arms holding her from behind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1~5 BCCCA 6~10 CBACA 11~15 ABBBA 16~20 AACBB 建平县实验中学2024~2025学年度上学期高二期末考试 英语 全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.请按题号顺序在答题卡上各题目的答题区域内作答，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3.选择题用2B铅笔在答题卡上把所选答案的标号涂黑；非选择题用黑色签字笔在答题卡上作答；字体工整，笔迹清楚。 4.考试结束后，请将试卷和答题卡一并上交。 5.本卷主要考查内容:选择性必修第一册 Unit 1~Unit 5。 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?

Not only can it help you make yourself more easily understood but it also makes you adjust to new environment as soon as possible. How do we put body language to good use? First and foremost, when communicating with others, you need to keep smile and maintain eye contact. This will show others that you are a good listener and in turn they will listen to you. What’s more, while listening to others, you need to nod your head from time to time to demonstrate that you’re paying attention. Last but not least, you’re encouraged to use gestures to express your thoughts. Hopefully, you can realize the importance of body language and the above-mentioned tips will go a long way towards your interaction with others. 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】范文 Nina kept her eyes on her sister’s slow progress. Stroke, stroke, breathe. Three-fourths of the way across, Mia stopped again. As Nina watched, Mia’ s head dipped briefly underwater before it resurfaced. Uh-oh, thought Nina. Her sister was in trouble, and she had to help. She kicked off the bottom and started towards Mia. Mia swallowed a mouthful of water and coughed. She felt as if she’ d been swimming for hours. If only someone would see she was too tired to keep going. She scanned the edge of the pool for Michael. This time, he saw her. His eyes narrowed.
