B The first day of high school felt like a big adventure, but also a bit terrible. I didn’t know how important studying would be, and I didn’t have any plans for what I wanted to do later in life. My friend, Alex saw that I wasn’t really into school. One day, after a boring science class, he talked to me. “You can do better,” he said seriously. “You just need to put in some effort.” His words made me think. I started to focus more in class, trying to really understand what the teachers were saying. Alex and I would study together, and he would help me with the difficult parts Gradually(逐渐地), things that I didn’t make sense before started to click. One day, while we were working on a science problem, I had a moment of understanding. I realized that learning is not just about getting good marks; it’s about exploring new ideas and enjoying the challenge of solving problems. It felt great to make things out. As time went by, my grades got better, and so did my attitude towards school. I started to think about what I wanted to do when I grew up and made plans for college. I understood that high school was a chance to get ready for my dreams. Now, I’m thankful for that moment when I realized how important learning is and for Alex’s help. It showed me that school is a place to discover what you love and to work towards your goals. I look forward to each day, knowing that every bit of learning brings me closer to becoming the person I want to be. 24. What do we know about the author from paragraph 1? A. He was excited and ready. B. He made no plans for future. C. He played an adventurous game. D. He wanted to challenge himself. 25. What did Alex do to help the author? A. He gave the author extra homework. B. He made science classes more interesting. C. He encouraged the author to work harder. D. He made efforts to change the author’s interest. 26. What made the author see the value of learning? A. Getting a high mark. B. A talk with a teacher. C. Visiting an ideal college. D. Solving a science problem. 27. Which would be the best title for the text? A. The Journey to Loving Learning B. The Importance of Studying Hard C. Discovering My Future Work D. My Best Friend in High School C The “diet” in diet drinks may be a false promise for some soda lovers. A study published recently in JAMA Network Open adds to the evidence that drinks made with sucralose(蔗糖素) may stimulate the appetite, at least among some people. “We found that females and people with obesity(肥胖 ) had greater brain reward activity after consuming the artificial sweetener,” says study author Katie Page. “What was most surprising was the impact of body weight and biological sex. They were very important factors in the way that the brain responded to the artificial sweetener.” Both groups also had a reduction in the hormone that inhibits(抑制) appetite, and they ate more food after they consumed drinks with sucralose, compared with after regular sugar-sweetened drinks. In contrast, the study found males and people of healthy weight did not have an increase in either brain reward activity or hunger response, suggesting they’re not affected in the same way. Page and her team measured the response to diet soda in three ways. They used brain images of the 74 study participants to document the activation of parts of the brain linked to appetite. They used blood samples to measure blood sugar and hormones that can drive hunger. And they also tracked how much participants ate at a buffet table at the end of each study session. “These results are consistent with patterns that we’ve actually seen in my lab in animal studies,” says Susan Swithers, a behavioral scientist at Purdue University. “You are supposed to get sugar after something tastes sweet. Your body has been accustomed to that,” explains Swithers. But diet soda may lead to a disconnect. The sugar never arrives, and “that could decrease the body’s efficiency in metabolizing(新陈代谢) sugar the next time.” 28. What did Page find might affect the brain’s response to diet soda? A. The artificial sweetener. B. The drinker’s sex and weight. C. The reduction in hormones. D. The amount of sweet drinks. 29. What can we learn from paragraph four? A. The methods of the study. B. The impacts of diet soda. C. The causes of overeating. D. The responses of participants. 30. What is Swithers’ attitude toward Page’s study? A. Unclear. B. Approving. C. Doubtful. D. Unsatisfied. 31. Where can you find this text? A. A story collection. B. A travel journal. C. A consumer guide. D. A health magazine. D If you feel that making friends as a kid is easy, you’re right. “They have a break between lessons and gym classes. They have more time to get along with each other,” says Marisa G. Franco, an 高一下期月考英语试题 第 3 页 共 4 页 expert at the University of Maryland. However, it’s not the case for adults. Even though they see their workmates every day, they still find it never easy to be friends with them. In the US, for example, a 2021 study by the American Enterprise Institute, found that the number of adults who said they had no close friends had increased four times since 1990, going from 3 percent to 12 percent. “We’ve never been more disconnected,” says psychologist(心理学家) Jody Carrington. Although adults spend time together from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and even late into the night, the busy work pattern which means that communication is limited to the content of the work, and after work, they immediately go back to homes, leaving no extra energy to have unplanned communication to develop further friendship. Research by Brigham Young University psychologist Julianne Holt-Lunstad has shown that loneliness is a big threat(威胁 ) to long life, same as smoking 15 cigarettes a day or being a heavy drinker. People who are lonely are more likely to have serious diseases. On the other side, healthy friendships can help us a lot, doing better with stress and living happier and longer. Besides, happiness is contagious. Harvard experts found that when a person becomes happy, his or her friends living within 1.6 kilometers are also 25 percent more likely to become happier. So, making friends is more important than we think. You may think that making friends is an inborn skill and doesn’t need to be taught. It’s not the case. We can improve our ability to connect with others if we try. Some experts provide advice to make it easier to find connection. 32. What makes an adult difficult to be friends with others according to paragraph 2? A. Bad experiences in the past. B. No breaks in the workplace. C. Worry about being deeply hurt. D. No chance for deeper friendship. 33. What does the author want to express in paragraph 3? A. The ways to lead a happy life. B. The results of getting into bad habits. C. The importance of staying connected. D. The relationship between happiness and habits. 34. What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Confusing. B. Powerful. C. Awkward. D. Unique. 35. What will be talked about in the following part of the passage? A. Stories of successful friendships among workmates. B. More research findings on the advantages of friendship. C. Recommendations to improve skills for making friends. D. The influence of different personalities on making friends. 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。 Jane Eyre, written by Charlotte Brontë, was first published in 1847.

Lisa’s conceited (自负的) reply made me feel awkward. Back at home, I talked to Lisa about inner beauty other than outer beauty. I explained to her that inner beauty means being kind to family and friends, sharing toys, and showing care and love when others are in trouble. “If you do these things, you are beautiful on the inside. Do you understand what I mean?” I asked her. She looked at me with confusion but seriously nodded. I hugged her, telling her that I didn’ t want her to forget what I said. The topic never came up again. Nearly one year later , there was a little girl, Jenna, in Lisa’s class who was experiencing cancer (癌症) treatment and had lost all her hair when we saw her. As five-year-old Lisa noticed her best friend Jenna’s head, with freshly grown thin hair, she was wondering what had happened. When we returned home, I explained to Lisa what Jenna was going through and why she had lost most of her previous long, beautiful hair. Having known the cause, she felt a pang of sadness, silent for a while. Lisa remembered my words about inner beauty and how it was more important than physical appearance. Lisa wanted to do something to support her friend, but she wasn’t sure what she could do. One day, Lisa’ s teacher mentioned a local charity (慈善机构) that collected hair donations to make wigs (假发) for children who had lost their hair because of medical treatments. 注意： 1．续写词数应为 150 个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Lisa’s eyes brightened when she heard the information. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________ Touched by Lisa’s kind act, I hugged her tightly (紧紧地). _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________
