B When I was 17, I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay, once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McNay. She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked, “Do you have the address?” “No, but I’ll recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine.” “Oh, stop. There it is!” The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us. “May I help you?” a man asked. “No,” I said. “We’re fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren’t that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy (爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures (雕刻) in one room. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. “Where do you think you are?” he asked. I turned sharply. “The McNay Art Museum!” He smiled, shaking his head. “Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street.” “What’s this place?” I asked, still confused. “Well, it’s our home.” My heart jolted (震颤). I raced to the staircase and called out, “Sally! Come down immediately!” “There’s some really good stuff (艺术作品) up there.” She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, “Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place.” Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldn’t believe how long they let us look around without saying anything. The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened. Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place. “Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence (住宅), long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum?” “Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone.” “That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky before. You thought it was a museum. My feelings about mv home changed after that. I’ve always wanted to thank you.” 4. What do we know about Marian McNay? A. She was a journalist. B. She was a painter. C. She was a museum director. D. She was a community leader. 5. Why did the author refuse the help from the man in the house? A. She disliked people who were nosy. B. She felt nervous when talking to strangers. C. She thought of him as a tour guide D. She knew more about art than the man. 6. How did the author feel about being stared at by the people in the hall? A. Puzzled. B. Concerned. C. Frightened. D. Delighted. 7. What could we learn from the last paragraph? A. People should have good taste to enjoy life. B. People should spend more time with their family. C. People tend to be blind to the beauty around them. D. People tend to educate teenagers at a museum. C We are all aware of the damaging pollution that’s created by driving petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles. Many of the world’s cities are blocked with traffic, creating fumes containing gases such as nitrogen oxides. The solution for a cleaner, greener future could be electric vehicles. But how optimistic should we be? There was much excitement last year when the UK government announced it will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. But is that easier said than done? The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off. Currently, battery life is an issue — a fully charged battery won’t take you as far as a full tank of petrol. There are also limited numbers of charging points to plug an EV into. Of course, technology is always improving. Some of the biggest tech companies, like Google and Tesla, are spending huge amounts of money developing electric cars. And most of the big car manufacturers are now making them too. Colin Herron, a consultant on low-carbon vehicle technology, told the BBC: “The big leap forward will come with solid state batteries, which will appear first in mobile phones and laptops before they progress to cars.” These will charge more quickly and give cars a bigger range. Cost is another issue that may discourage people switching to electric power. But some countries offer incentive, such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes, and not charging for road tax and parking. Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on, overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams. These kinds of measures have made Norway the country with the most electric cars per capita (人均) at more than thirty electric cars per 1000 inhabitants. But Colin Herron warns that “electric motoring” doesn’t mean a zero-carbon future. “It’s emission-free motoring, but the car has to be built, the battery has to be built, and the electricity does come from somewhere.” Maybe it’s time to think about making fewer journeys or using public transport. 8. What can we infer from the question at the end of paragraph 1? A. We should not be too optimistic about the future. B. Electric vehicles may not solve the traffic problems. C. It’s not a good idea to replace petrol vehicles with electric ones. D. It is not easy to obtain a greener future by means of electric vehicles. 9. What does the underlined word “incentive” mean in paragraph 2? A. payment B. income C. encouragement D. method 10. Which statement is true according to the passage? A. Electric motoring will create a zero-carbon future. B. Electric cars might not get stuck in traffic jams in the future. C. There are four obstacles on the road to global traffic being totally electric. D. Putting solid-state batteries in electric cars first will be a “great leap forward”. 11. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. Total Electric Traffic: a Long Way to Go B. Electric Vehicles: a Road to a Greener Future C. Electric Power or Petrol: a Tough Decision to Make D. Petrol and Diesel Vehicles: a Main source of Gases D It is late autumn — millions of gardeners across the northern hemisphere pulled on their thickest sweaters, spent hours clearing large piles of leaves and packed them into plastic bags at the end of driveways. In the US alone, nearly 10 million tonnes of garden waste go to landfill every year. That is a large amount of effort, not just from an environmental viewpoint but from that of our aching backs, too. So where does this advice come from? Well, it largely comes from the belief that thick fallen leaves can make plants under them unable to breathe, especially shorter grass. They shut down important photosynthesis (光合作用) and get in the way of the growth of the shorter grass. However, this received wisdom has recently been questioned by researchers at Wisconsin University. The key finding of their new research was that although clearing fallen leaves is one of the most common gardening practices, it makes very little sense. In natural ecosystems, fallen leaves help return nutrients necessary for healthy plant growth to the soil, which greatly improves soil condition. Removing leaves year after year breaks this ecological (生态的) balance. Letting some leaves stick around to cover your garden is a great way to help your grass and the local ecosystem. They further explained that if up to 50 percent of your grass lawn (草坪) is covered by fallen leaves, you might as well go back indoors and put your feet up. The advantages of this light leaf coverage far outweigh the disadvantages — the leaves will quickly break down and help next year’s lawn grow far better than if you had cleared them. Only at over 50 percent coverage do the Wisconsin researchers recommend clearing. So why not consider leaving the leaves? Save time, carbon and effort, and in exchange get a healthier lawn from this garden waste — that seems like a pretty good deal. And how many plastic bags could be saved by simply not binning fallen leaves every year? In the US alone, about 700 million. 12. What does the author describe in paragraph 1? A. An amazing autumn game. B. A common sight in gardens. C. A hot attraction in the north. D. An extreme weather event. 13. What is the received wisdom? A. Fallen leaves need not be cleared. B. Fallen leaves protect shorter grass. C. Fallen leaves block photosynthesis. D. Fallen leaves are hard to break down. 14. The new research finds clearing fallen leaves makes little sense, because ________. A. it ruins city image B. it breaks gardening rules C. it affects local economy D. it causes ecological damage 15. What’s the author’s attitude to Wisconsin University’s study? A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Objective. D. Indifferent. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) When you look ahead at the year to come, I hope you focus on all the positives even if the negatives exist, because positive thinking can help you get where you want to go. Positive thinking is not the same as optimism. Being optimistic means believing that everything is going to work out great. But positive thinking is more than that. It’s a mindset or a way of looking at the world and what you do. ___16___ To think positively, first of all, we need to look at problems, mistakes and failures as normal. Imagine you bomb a big job interview. A negative thinker will be upset by the fact that he didn’t get the job. ___17___ He will analyze what he did and figure out how to do it better next time. And he’ll also think about what he did well and try to repeat and improve on those successes. This means focusing on the big picture. One trick to positive thinking is to imagine how you’ll think back to things that are happening now. ___18___ There are bad things that happened last year that you can probably laugh about now. You understand what was a big deal and what was not. Try to do that in the present. ___19___ A negative thinker will focus on the past, especially past failures. But the past cannot be changed. It’s done and dusted. The future, however, is yet to be written. And that’s where the positive thinker will focus his attention. Positive thinking is a mental habit. It takes practice. Sometimes, we have to remind ourselves to focus on the future and on possibility. ___20___ But if you can do it, there are some great payoffs: greater confidence, a better chance of success, better health condition as well as a better quality of life. A. A positive thinker will learn from the experience. B. Negative thinkers will look at failures as end points. C. Positive thinking often means separating the past and the future. D. It’s a belief in possibility, solutions to problems and the big picture. E. Sometimes, it’s hard to learn from our failures or see the big picture. F. We can see the power of positive thinking when it comes to problem-solving. G. You know from experience that the passing of time brings a fresh perspective. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) In the last months of his life, my brothers and I moved our Dad from a crowded hospital to a local nursing home.

One morning, Jaron’s mom: was driving him to school beneath an especially spectacular Texas sunrise. She heard his little voice from the car seat behind her say, “Look, Mommy! Look at the beautiful green sunshine!” She turned to look at it. The rising sun was so beautiful, flooding the earth with warm and red light. However, Jaron’s mom was about to cry. “Oh dear, my poor boy,” she thought. Without delay, the parents rushed Jaron to the hospital for a check- up, which turned out to be color blindness. On that fateful day, Jaron’s parents were shocked to learn that their son was color blind — a condition that affects a person’s ability to see colors in the same way as others. There is no cure, but special glasses can help individuals like Jaron distinguish between different colors. Unfortunately, these glasses are often too expensive for most families to afford. The parents were sad, but Jaron remained calm and even comforted his parents. He saw his condition as something special and decided to keep it a secret. However, his silence caused him to feel left out when others talked about colors. One day, during a class discussion, the teacher, Christina Hayes, asked the students to share a secret about themselves. Working up his courage, Jaron revealed his condition to his classmates, explaining that he saw gray instead of colors like purple, green, and blue. When the teacher asked if there was anything that could help him, Jaron mentioned the special glasses, but noted that they were too expensive for his family. Hearing Jaron’s words, the teacher fought back tears and praised the boy for his bravery The other students looked at Jaron with newfound understanding and empathy. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150 左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: After class, Jaron’s classmates privately approached Haves. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Seeing the special glasses, Jaron was puzzled. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 禹州三高高一下学期第一次校考英语试题 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) 1.

Yours, Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 【47题答案】 【答案】Paragraph 1: After class, Jaron’s classmates privately approached Hayes. They wanted to do something to help Jaron see the world in color. With Hayes’ guidance, they organized a fundraising campaign. They made posters, held a bake sale, and even reached out to the community through social media. The response was overwhelming. People from all walks of life contributed generously, touched by Jaron’s bravery and the students’ kindness. In just a few weeks, they had raised enough money to buy the special glasses for Jaron. Paragraph 2: Seeing the special glasses, Jaron was puzzled. When Hayes explained the effort they had put in, tears welled up in Jaron’s eyes. He tried on the glasses, and suddenly, the world around him transformed. Overwhelmed with emotion, Jaron hugged Hayes and thanked his classmates. From that day on, Jaron no longer felt left out. Instead, he felt a sense of belonging and appreciation for the warmth and support from his friends. The experience taught them all a valuable lesson about empathy, unity, and the power of kindness. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
