The audience can’t get their money back if the play is on show as scheduled. B A speech in a play by Shakespeare can be as short as a word or as long as several hundred. But what is the most common length? Staying away from Shakespeare himself for a moment, we can take Ben Jonson’s play Volpone (1606) and count the number of speeches and their lengths. The most common length is four words. The next most common length is five words. Of the other 16 Jonson’s plays, 12 also have a speech length mode (模式) of four. It was not just Jonson; it was everybody. After 1602, four-word speeches were the most common kind across all the early modern plays that survived. The London theatre industry took off in the late 1580s and early 1590s and we see a concentration of speech length modes of nine or ten. After 1602, the mode of four predominated. If we look just at Shakespeare’s plays, we find him doing what everyone else did: changing from favoring nine-word speeches to favouring four-word speeches around 1597-1602 and never going back. Our suggestion is that the playwrights (剧作家) learned progressively from one another how to represent more closely the speech lengths of everyday exchanges and found that audiences responded well to these. They started to focus less on strict writing rules and more on the liveliness of everyday speech. Another way to think of this is offered by the Russian literary scholar Boris Yarkho. He put forward an “index (指数) of liveliness” — the ratio of the number of speeches to the total number of lines in a play. He researched the works of the 17th-century French playwright Pierre Corneille and found that his comedies have a higher index because of their shorter speeches. The move from a mode of nine words to a mode of four represents the shortened average speech, and thus a move to livelier drama in Yarkho’s terms. Nevertheless, we have no record of any dramatist or playgoer reflecting on the shortening of average speech lengths; our only knowledge of it comes from counting the words in the plays for ourselves. 4. What happened in English plays around the 1600s? A. Their storylines were about famous writers. B. They were influenced by a poetic writing style. C. They featured different storytelling techniques. D. Their speeches were generally shorter in length. 5. What does the underlined word “predominated” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Remained unique. B. Took the leading position. C. Disappeared slowly. D. Played an educational role. 6. Why did playwrights change their writing styles according to paragraph 4? A. To challenge traditional writing rules. B. To stand out by applying their unique style. C. To avoid being affected by social values. D. To create realistic and acceptable speeches. 7. Which of the following is Yarkho’s opinion on the change in plays? A. It saved actors the trouble of memorizing their lines. B. It reflected people's preference for serious dialogues. C. It helped present dramas in an active and pleasant way. D. It made the characters express their feelings effectively. C Years ago, many Mexican gray wolves lived in the United States. In the 1800s, cattle farmers were worried that these wolves would hunt and eat their farm animals. During the 1800s and 1900s, farmers killed many of these wolves to try to protect their animals. These wolves almost went extinct. In 1976, the U. S. government passed the Endangered Species Act. These wolves were finally protected! And with help, the species continues to survive today. The White Mountain Apache Tribe (部落)has played an important role in keeping this species alive. They live on a large area of land in Arizona called the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. This area is also a wolf habitat. Krista Beazley is a wolf biologist on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. She tracks the movements of Mexican gray wolves that live on the land. Scientists have put special radio collars on wolves. These collars send out beeping signals (蜂鸣信号)to a special hand-held antenna (手持天线). Biologists like Beazley use these antennas to track the wolves. She also follows their footprints and droppings. Wolf droppings tell biologists what the wolf ate, where it spends much of its time, and if it is sick. Beazley makes sure the wolves are alive and healthy. The number of Mexican gray wolves living on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation is growing. Despite this remarkable progress, the species is still endangered. The White Mountain Apache Tribe continues to try to protect these wolves. The White Mountain Apache Tribe also works to protect many other rare plant and animal species. For example, they saved the Apache trout from extinction by closing certain areas to fishing and by building trout habitats. They also protect habitats for animals like the Mexican spotted owl. The White Mountain Apache Tribe has a close connect ion with all of nature. Tribe members believe humans must honor the animals and nature around them. 8. Why did Mexican gray wolves almost die out during the 1800s and 1900s? A. They were eaten by farm animals. B. They were killed by cattle farmers. C. Government passed laws to hunt them. D. They hardly survived in the extreme climates. 9. What was the result of the Endangered Species Act being passed? A. The Mexican gray wolf was protected. B The Mexican gray wolf disappeared completely. C. The White Mountain Apache Tribe settled in Arizona. D. The Fort Apache Indian Reservation became a wolf habitat. 10. What may best describe Krista Beazley? A. Kind and courageous. B. Careful and confident. C. Hardworking and caring. D. Responsible and humorous. 11. What do we know about the White Mountain Apache Tribe? A. They care about animals and nature around them. B. They work hard to build habitats for all animals. C. Their unique task is to protect Mexican gray wolves. D. They try to keep Mexican gray wolves from increasing. 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。 Shyness is a sense of uneasiness and discomfort that some people feel in the presence of others.

She had a big presentation at work, and she needed the caffeine more than ever. She grabbed (抓住) her keys, rushed out of the door, and made her way to the familiar coffee shop. As she joined the line of cars in the drive-through (免下车的餐馆), Sarah couldn’t help but feel the familiar rush of anticipation. The smell of roasted coffee beans and the thought of having a cup of coffee was her little daily enjoyment. The line of cars went forward slowly, and soon, Sarah found herself at the drive-through window. She reached for her purse to pay, but before she could hand over her credit card, the cashier smiled and said, “Your coffee has been covered by the car ahead of you.” “Really?” she asked, both surprised and grateful. The cashier nodded. “Yes, the woman in the car ahead wanted to pay it forward today. Enjoy your coffee!” With a warm smile, Sarah accepted the free coffee and drove away. The unexpected act of kindness was in her mind as she drank the delicious coffee. It put a spring in her step and a smile on her face, making her presentation a little less worrying. As she exited the drive-through, Sarah glanced in her rearview (后视的) mirror at the next car approaching the coffee shop window. An idea began to form in her mind. Maybe she could do the same, pay it forward and brighten someone else’s morning. She decided to stick around, park her car and go back into the coffee shop. She approached the cashier and said, “I’d like to pay for the coffee of the person in the car behind me.” The cashier smiled and nodded, processing the payment. Sarah knew she had just started a chain of kindness, and she felt a warm sense of satisfaction. 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。 As she walked to her car, Sarah was lost in thought. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The acts of kindness kept on coming. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 ABACB 6-10 CBBCA 11-15 ACABC 16-20 BABCC 英吉沙县2024-2025学年第一学期期末考试 高一年级英语试卷 （考试时间: 120分钟 试卷满分: 150分） 注意事项: 1. 本试卷分第I卷（选择题）和第II卷（非选择题）两部分。答卷前, 考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答第I卷时, 选出每小题答案后, 用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动, 用橡皮擦干净后, 再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 回答第II卷时, 将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4. 考试结束后, 将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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.

With the rapid development of technology, its influences on our daily lives are everywhere. Thanks to high-tech, we can stay connected with friends and families, no matter where they are. We can easily access information, and even order food and groceries with a few taps on our mobile phones. However, technology also brings negative influences. With the constant exposure to the screens, our eyes get tired. What’s worse, there is always a concern about privacy and data security. Despite these drawbacks, I think technology’s positive impacts outweigh the negative ones. 第二节（满分25分） 【53题答案】 【答案】参考范文： As she walked to her car, Sarah was lost in thought. How would the next driver react? Would they continue the chain of goodwill? She watched from her car as the driver behind her pulled up to the window. The cashier informed him that his coffee had already been paid for, and then something beautiful happened. The driver, a middle-aged man, smiled and said joyfully, “That’s wonderful! Please use the money I was going to spend to pay for the coffee of the car behind me.” One pays for the coffee of the person behind her, which sparks a chain of good deeds for the entire day. The acts of kindness kept on coming. A young woman paid for the coffee of a tired mom with a baby in the back seat.
