He taught himself how to seek animals and birds by the sounds they made. Later, Jim became a tracker and hunter. The authorities asked him to track and shoot man-eating tigers to protect people. Between 1907 and 1938, Jim shot and killed nineteen tigers and fourteen leopards (豹). He did this on foot, sometimes accompanied by his dogs, and he took many risks to save people’s lives. The first tiger he shot was a Champawat Tiger, a tiger that killed more than 436 people. Jim was regarded as a hero by the locals. Jim wondered why the tigers and leopards were killing people. When he examined many cats that he had shot, eventually he made an important discovery that shocked him. They all had injuries. Some had gunshot wounds from poachers (偷猎者). Poaching was common because people could sell tiger skins for decoration and tiger bones for medicine. One tiger had a gunshot wound in its mouth, and its teeth were damaged. Other tigers had injuries and then became sick. The reason why they were eating people was that they couldn’t hunt other creatures to feed on. After his discoveries, Jim became interested in conservation. He concentrated on his new mission: saving tigers. He gave lectures and inspired people to respect wildlife - especially the big cats, which he loved and respected. Two years after he died in 1955, the oldest national park in India got a new name: Corbett National Park. It’s a shelter for tigers, leopards, and other endangered animals. There’s even a species of tiger named after Jim called Corbett’s Tiger, of which there may only be 350 worldwide. 4. Why did Jim Corbett kill tigers? A. Because he was the best hunter then. B. Because tigers hurt and killed people. C. Because authorities needed protection. D. Because he could seek birds by sound. 5. How did Jim discover the reason why tigers attacked people? A. By investigating tigers’ teeth. B. By helping with tigers’ treatment. C. By examining tigers with specific facilities. D. By looking at the tigers’ dead bodies carefully. 6. What did Jim do to save tigers? A. He protected tigers’ habitat. B. He built new shelters for animals. C. He raised people’s awareness of wildlife protection. D. He gave a number of lectures on tigers’ favorite food. 7. Why was a species of tiger named Corbett’s Tiger? A. For Jim’s generosity. B. For Jim’s contributions. C. For their birth place. D. For their limited population. 【答案】4 B 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Jim Corbett从小对野生动物充满好奇，成为猎人和追踪者，后来对野生动物保护产生了浓厚的兴趣，致力于拯救老虎的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中的“The authorities asked him to track and shoot man-eating tigers to protect people. (当局要求他追踪并射杀食人虎以保护人民。)”可知，Jim Corbett杀老虎是因为老虎伤人害命。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中的“When he examined many cats that he had shot, eventually he made an important discovery that shocked him.They all had injuries. Some had gunshot wounds from poachers (偷猎者). (当他检查了许多他射杀过的猫科动物后，他最终有了一个令他震惊的重要发现。它们都有伤。有些身上有偷猎者的枪伤。)”可知，Jim Corbett是通过仔细检查他射杀的老虎的尸体来发现老虎攻击人的原因的。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中的“He gave lectures and inspired people to respect wildlife—especially the big cats, which he loved and respected. (他发表演讲，激发人们尊重野生动物——尤其是他热爱和尊重的大型猫科动物。)”可知，Jim Corbett通过提高人们对野生动物保护的意识来拯救老虎。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。从第四段的“After his discoveries, Jim became interested in conservation. He concentrated on his new mission: saving tigers. He gave lectures and inspired people to respect wildlife - especially the big cats, which he loved and respected. (在他的发现之后，吉姆对保护产生了兴趣。他专注于他的新使命：拯救老虎。他发表演讲，激励人们尊重野生动物，尤其是他喜爱和尊重的大型猫科动物。)”可以看出Jim Corbett对老虎保护所做的贡献，由文章最后一句“There’s even a species of tiger named after Jim called Corbett’s Tiger, of which there may only be 350 worldwide. (甚至有一种以吉姆命名的老虎，叫做科比特虎，全世界可能只有350只。)”可知，这种老虎被命名为科比特虎是为了纪念Jim Corbett的贡献。故选B项。 C In the past few years, most states have made it against the rules for people to type messages on their phones while driving. They have also run many public campaigns to try to get people to stop using their phones when they are behind the wheel. But the problem seems to be getting worse. People in the United States are still typing messages, using social media, and taking pictures while driving. The number of car accidents, which had been going down for years, is now going up dramatically. This is partly because people are driving more, but Mark Rosekind, the person in charge of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said that driving while not paying attention was “only increasing, unfortunately”. An idea from lawmakers in New York is to give police officers a new device called the Textalyzer. It would work like this: An officer arriving at the scene of a crash could ask for the phones of the drivers and use the Textalyzer to check in the operating system for recent activity. The technology could determine whether a driver had just texted, emailed or done anything else that is not allowed under New York’s hands-free driving laws. “We need something on the books that can change people’s behavior,” said Félix W. Ortiz, who pushed for the state’s 2001 ban on hand-held devices by drivers. “If the Textalyzer bill becomes law,” he added, “people are going to be more afraid to put their hands on the smartphone.” 8. What is the best description of the prohibition on drivers’ texting in the US? A. Demanding. B. Unsuccessful. C. Irregular. D. Unreasonable. 9. What can the Textalyzer help the police find out? A. The driving speed. B. The driving destination. C. Drivers on the phone. D. Drivers’ arrival time. 10. What does the underlined word “something” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Advice. B. Laws. C. Instructions. D. Knowledge. 11. What is Félix W. Ortiz’s attitude toward the Textalyzer? A. Approving. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了美国各州禁止司机开车时使用手机发短信的规定以及这一规定并未取得显著成效，同时介绍了纽约立法者提出的使用Textalyzer设备来检测司机开车时是否使用手机的新想法。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“In the past few years, most states have made it against the rules for people to type messages on their phones while driving.(在过去的几年里，大多数州都规定司机开车时用手机发短信是违法的)”和第二段中“But the problem seems to be getting worse. People in the United States are still typing messages, using social media, and taking pictures while driving.(但这个问题似乎越来越严重。在美国，人们仍然在开车时打字、使用社交媒体和拍照)”可知，尽管美国大多数州都禁止司机开车时使用手机发短信，但这一问题并未得到解决，反而似乎越来越严重，由此可推断出，对美国禁止司机发短信的最好描述是“不成功的”。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“An idea from lawmakers in New York is to give police officers a new device called the Textalyzer. It would work like this: An officer arriving at the scene of a crash could ask for the phones of the drivers and use the Textalyzer to check in the operating system for recent activity. The technology could determine whether a driver had just texted, emailed or done anything else that is not allowed under New York’s hands-free driving laws. (纽约立法者的一个想法是给警察一种叫做Textalyzer的新设备。它的工作原理是这样的：到达事故现场的警察可以要求司机交出手机，并使用Textalyzer检查操作系统中的最近活动。这项技术可以确定司机是否刚刚发过短信、电子邮件或做过纽约免提驾驶法律不允许的其他任何事情)”可知，Textalyzer可以帮助警察检查司机的手机，确定司机是否在开车时进行了不允许的活动，如发短信或电子邮件等，由此可知，Textalyzer可以帮助警察找出“开车时使用手机的司机”。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“‘We need something on the books that can change people’s behavior,’ said Félix W. Ortiz, who pushed for the state’s 2001 ban on hand-held devices by drivers. (我们需要一些书面上的东西来改变人们的行为，”Félix W. Ortiz说，他推动了该州2001年禁止司机使用手持设备的规定)”和“‘If the Textalyzer bill becomes law,’ he added, ‘people are going to be more afraid to put their hands on the smartphone.’ (“如果Textalyzer法案成为法律，”他补充说，“人们将更害怕把手机拿在手里。”)”可知，Félix W. Ortiz提到需要一些书面上的内容来改变人们开车时使用手机的行为，并举例说如果Textalyzer法案成为法律，人们就会更害怕使用手机，由此可推断出，他所说的“something”指的是能够约束人们行为的“法律”。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Félix W. Ortiz的话“‘If the Textalyzer bill becomes law,’ he added, ‘people are going to be more afraid to put their hands on the smartphone.’ (“如果Textalyzer法案成为法律，”他补充说，“人们将更害怕把手机拿在手里。”)”可知，Félix W. Ortiz认为如果Textalyzer法案成为法律，人们就会更害怕使用手机。由此可推断出，他对Textalyzer持“支持”的态度。故选A项。 D Recently, I accidentally found a set of Hanfu l only wore once from the bottom of the cupboard. I remember buying them simply to match the ancient-style hair accessories (配饰) a friend gave me. It occurred to me that 1 had been trapped in the “birdcage effect”. “Birdcage effect” means that when you get an item one day, you will prepare more things to match it. Weeks ago, I was in the company of friends engaged in shopping. One said that she wanted to buy a good writing pen to match the delicate notebook that her sister gave her, so that she would fall in love with taking notes on reading, and thus love reading, not just reading. I joked that she must have fallen for the “birdcage effect”. But the friend said with a smile: “Why not use the ‘birdcage effect’ instead?” For the first time, I heard that the “birdcage effect” can be used in reverse (逆向). However, this can’t help but remind me of middle school, and I seem to have used the “birdcage effect”. Passing by a bookstore one day, I purchased a magazine and saw the call for contributions published in the magazine, so I started writing with eager hands, and then I fell in love with writing. After shopping with my friends that time, I began to proceed to use the “birdcage effect”. I bought a small fresh tablecloth to decorate my desk, and a beautiful notebook to record my inspiration. When everything was ready, I started writing again. But how can we get rid of the “birdcage effect” in many things, and even use the “birdcage effect” in the opposite way? Various “birdcages” unavoidably appear in life, but we can distinguish them. If it is not in line with the actual situation, it is a “negative birdcage”, then we must learn to stop losses in time and maintain a heart of abandonment and separation. If it is a “positive birdcage” that motivates us to develop upward, we can clarify our goals, shop or decorate appropriately, and motivate ourselves to move towards our goals. At this time, you will find that the “birdcage effect” is actually not so terrible! 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The application of the “birdcage effect” in life. B. The necessity of using the “birdcage effect” in life. C. The turning point of the author’s idea on the “birdcage effect”. D. The author’s conflict with her friend over the “birdcage effect”. 13. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning her middle school experience? A. To recall her delightful days at school. B. To explain the reason for her love with writing. C. To confirm the positive of the “birdcage effect”. D. To prove her knowledge of the “birdcage effect”. 14 How can we make use of the “birdcage effect” positively? A. By realizing this effect has two sides. B. By promoting our personal consumption. C. By recognizing this effect is not so terrible. D. By guiding our acts to go with reasonable goals. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Getting Rid of the Birdcage Effect Confidently B. Motivating Ourselves to Move Towards Our Goals C. The Birdcage Effect: Influence on Consumer Behavior D. The Birdcage Effect: How to Use It to Your Advantage 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了“鸟笼效应”以及我们该如何在生活中恰当地利用它。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。第二段首句““Birdcage effect” means that when you get an item one day, you will prepare more things to match it. Weeks ago, I was in the company of friends engaged in shopping. One said that she wanted to buy a good writing pen to match the delicate notebook that her sister gave her, so that she would fall in love with taking notes on reading, and thus love reading, not just reading. I joked that she must have fallen for the “birdcage effect”. But the friend said with a smile: “Why not use the ‘birdcage effect’ instead?”(“鸟笼效应”是指当你有一天得到一件物品时，你会准备更多的东西来搭配它。几周前，我和朋友一起去购物。有的说，她想买一支好的写字笔，搭配姐姐送给她的精致笔记本，让她爱上记读书笔记，从而爱上读书，而不仅仅是读书。我开玩笑说她一定是受了“鸟笼效应”的影响。但朋友笑道：“为什么不用‘鸟笼效应’来代替呢？”)”可知，朋友告诉作者可以反向使用“鸟笼效应”，作者第一次听说“鸟笼效应”可以反向使用，由此可知，第二段主要讲述了作者对“鸟笼效应”的看法有了改变，第三段第一句话“For the first time, I heard that the “birdcage effect” can be used in reverse (逆向). (第一次听说“鸟笼效应”可以反向使用)”也是提示，说明作者对“鸟笼效应”的看法发生了改变，故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, this can’t help but remind me of middle school, and I seem to have used the “birdcage effect”. Passing by a bookstore one day, I purchased a magazine and saw the call for contributions published in the magazine, so I started writing with eager hands, and then I fell in love with writing.(不过，这不禁让我想起了中学时代，我似乎运用了“鸟笼效应”。有一天路过一家书店，我买了一本杂志，看到杂志上刊登的征稿启事，我就开始急切地开始写作，从此我就爱上了写作)”可知，作者运用了“鸟笼效应”的结果是自己爱上了写作，这是“鸟笼效应”给作者带来的积极影响，由此可推知，作者提到她的中学经历的是为了证实“鸟笼效应”的积极作用。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“If it is a “positive birdcage” that motivates us to develop upward, we can clarify our goals, shop or decorate appropriately, and motivate ourselves to move towards our goals. (如果是一个激励我们向上发展的“积极的鸟笼”，我们可以明确自己的目标，适当的购物或装饰，激励自己朝着目标前进。)”可知，我们可以通过指导我们的行为去实现合理的目标以此来积极利用“鸟笼效应”，故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中““Birdcage effect” means that when you get an item one day, you will prepare more things to match it. (“鸟笼效应”是指当你有一天得到一件物品时，你会准备更多的东西来搭配它。)”，第三段中“For the first time, I heard that the “birdcage effect” can be used in reverse (逆向). (第一次听说“鸟笼效应”可以反向使用)”和最后一段“But how can we get rid of the “birdcage effect” in many things, and even use the “birdcage effect” in the opposite way? Various “birdcages” unavoidably appear in life, but we can distinguish them. If it is not in line with the actual situation, it is a “negative birdcage”, then we must learn to stop losses in time and maintain a heart of abandonment and separation. If it is a “positive birdcage” that motivates us to develop upward, we can clarify our goals, shop or decorate appropriately, and motivate ourselves to move towards our goals. At this time, you will find that the “birdcage effect” is actually not so terrible!(但如何才能在很多事情上摆脱“鸟笼效应”，甚至反过来利用“鸟笼效应”呢？生活中难免会出现各种各样的“鸟笼”，但我们可以区分它们。如果不符合实际情况，就是“负面鸟笼”，那么我们就要学会及时止损，保持一颗抛弃、分离的心。如果是一个激励我们向上发展的“积极的鸟笼”，我们可以明确自己的目标，适当的购物或装饰，激励自己朝着目标前进。这时候你就会发现“鸟笼效应”其实并没有那么可怕！)”可知，文章主要介绍了“鸟笼效应”以及我们该如何在生活中恰当地利用它，D项“鸟笼效应：如何利用它来对你有利”适合作文章标题，故选D。 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。 The Silk Road was a historical network of trade routes that connected China and the Mediterranean Sea, allowing cultural and economic interaction between the East and the West. Begun in the 2nd Century B C” the Silk Road carried goods, ideas, and even illness for thousands of miles between great civilizations for more than a thousand years. ___16___ It was the creation of Germany’s Ferdinand von Richthofen, who traveled to China several times in the second half of the 19th Century. China’s powerful Han Dynasty began expanding its trade routes towards the West in the years around 100 B.C. ___17___ Some shipments made it through to Europe and to northern and eastern Africa, through the port of Alexandria. As its name suggests, the Silk Road was home to large amount of silk, which made its way from China to the Mediterranean and, to Rome. It wasn’t only silk, however, that was carried along the Silk Road ___18___ Chinese traders brought delicate porcelain plates and thin but durable paper money. Romans brought delicately carved pottery (陶器）and jewelry to China. ___19___ Merchants carried shipments from major center, and then others carried the foods farther on the route. Many merchants traveled in groups, called carvans (商队). Many carvans and individual merchants traveled with bodyguards because theft along the routes was not uncommon. Several cities along the Silk Road became major trading centers. Some of the more famous of these were Alexandria, Karakorum, Antioch, Constantinople, and Persepolis. Local taxes placed on goods traveling along the route were quite common. ___20___ A. The name, however, is a modem idea. B. Diseases also spread along the Silk Road. C. It sent silk and other goods to other civilizations. D. Merchants would prepare some supplies in advance. E. Goods did not travel with the same person all along the route. F. As a result, many goods traveled only part of the way due to the high cost G. Many other things made their way from the East to the West, or from the West to the East. 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. G 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了丝绸之路的历史、发展及其对东西方文明的影响。 【16题详解】 上文说丝绸之路始于公元前2世纪，一千多年来，伟大文明之间的货物和思想都通过丝绸之路传输，下文又说这个称呼是由德国人Ferdinand von Richthofen发明的，19世纪中叶他曾多次访问中国，此处需要一个承上启下的句子，故A项（然而，这个名字是一个现代的概念）符合语境。 【17题详解】 根据本空后的“Some shipments made it through to Europe and to northern and eastern Africa, through the port of Alexandria.”可知，一些货物通过亚历山大港送往欧洲、东非和北非，此处是说货物通过丝绸之路运送到别的地方，故C项（它把丝绸和其他商品送到其他文明）符合语境。 【18题详解】 上文说沿着丝绸之路运送的不只是丝绸，下文又说中国商人带来了精致的瓷盘和薄而耐用的纸币，罗马人把雕刻精美的陶器和朱宝带到中国，此处是说丝绸之路还运送除了丝绸以外的东西，故G项（还有很多别的东西，从西到东，从东到西，都在这条路上运输）符合语境。 【19题详解】 根据本空后的“Merchants carried shipments from major center, and then others carried the foods farther on the route.”可知，商人们从主要的运输中心运送货物，然后其他人把货物运送到更远的地方，故E项（货物并不是一路由一个人运送的）符合语境。 【20题详解】 根据本空前的“Local taxes placed on goods traveling along the route were quite common.可知，对丝绸之路上运输的货物征收地方税是很常见的，此处说的是征收地方税的影响，故F项（因此，由于成本高，许多货物只能走一部分路）符合语境。 【点睛】对过渡句的考查是七选五的常见考点，需要立足于文章语境，使文章的逻辑更通顺，因此对上下文的理解是关键，例如本篇第1题，上文说丝绸之路始于公元前2世纪，一千多年来，伟大文明之间的货物和思想都通过丝绸之路传输，下文又说这个称呼是由德国人Ferdinand von Richthofen发明的，19世纪中叶他曾多次访问中国，此处需要一个承上启下的过渡句，既要对应上文内容，又要引出下文话题，虽然始于公元前2世纪，但是直到19世纪中叶才被正式命名为丝绸之路，故A项（然而，这个名字是一个现代的概念）符合语境。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I’m 62 now and always planned to ____21____ with older people when I retired.

Therefore, when it comes to TikTok, our first reaction is that it is a harmful software. But I don’t think that’s true. It depends on how you use it. If you can control the time of watching “TikTok” well and browser some of the content that is beneficial, it is good for you. Not only does it allow you to broaden your horizons, increase your knowledge, but also relax yourself under the pressure of work, study and life. On the contrary, if you can’t control yourself, watching it for too long is a waste of time and bad for your eyesight, even leading to depression. There is no denying that TikTok has many advantages, but the harm it brings to teenagers cannot be ignored. I hope we teenagers can learn to surf the Internet and browse TikTok appropriately. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以The influence of TikTok on Teenagers 为题写一篇发言稿参赛。 【详解】1.词汇积累 沉迷于：be addicted to→be obsessed with 对……有害：be bad for→do harm to 压力：pressure→stress 忽视：ignore→overlook 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：There is no denying that TikTok has many advantages, but the harm it brings to teenagers cannot be ignored. 拓展句：Although TikTok has many advantages, the harm it brings to teenagers cannot be ignored. 【点睛】[高分句型1] TikTok is the current hot short video platform, which many teenagers are addicted to.

Dad was getting a flower bed ready for Mom to plant flowers in, I was picking up litter next to the fence and Mom was removing old leaves that had been in the yard since last autumn. I found a bird’s nest in the big tree behind our house. After a while, two birds flew back to the nest and I heard their calls from the nest. Dad said they were Robins (知更鸟). I was about to climb the tree to get a good look inside the nest when Dad saw and stopped me. Dad said Robins did not want to be bothered. I nodded. We went for quite a while and then decided to sit at the picnic table with a glass of cool water. As we sat there, I watched the Robin nest in the tree, wondering what was in it. Were there eggs? Were there baby birds? A moment later, we continued to work. When we finished up our work outside, we went in to fix some food and ate supper, then got cleaned up, watched some TV and went to bed. Morning came quickly with the sun shining in through the windows. While we ate breakfast, we talked about what we needed to do for the day. Since it was the weekend, we wanted to do some more work in the yard to finish the jobs we had started the day before. We met outside in the front yard this time to do some touch-up work to the front of the house. Dad got out a big tank of white paint to take care of some chips (缺口) along the lower edge of the house next to the basement windows. It was another nice sunny day. As Dad did the painting work, Mom and I picked rocks out of the grass. 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。 And I saw a thing in the grass under the big tree — a bird nest. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With Dad’s help, I climbed up the tree carefully with the meet. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 And I saw a thing in the grass under the big tree — a bird nest. I quickly ran over to it and saw that it was the same nest I had seen in the tree the day before. It must have fallen out of the tree somehow. I looked around and saw the two Robins flying around chirping loudly. They seemed distressed. I called out to my dad and mom, and they came over to see what was going on. Dad examined the nest and said it looked like it was still in good shape. He suggested that we try to put it back in the tree. With Dad’s help, I climbed up the tree carefully with the nest. I found a sturdy branch close to where the nest had originally been and gently placed it there. The Robins watched from a distance, still chirping but not as loudly as before. Once the nest was secure, I climbed back down and we all stepped back to see what would happen. After a few minutes, the Robins cautiously approached the nest. They inspected it and then settled back in, seemingly satisfied. I felt a sense of accomplishment and relief. We continued our yard work, but I kept an eye on the Robins throughout the day. It felt good to know that we had helped them and that they could continue to care for their nest and any eggs or baby birds inside. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者一家的院子工作和对知更鸟巢的观察为线索展开，讲述了春天到来时，作者与父母一起在院子里忙碌，准备花床、清理垃圾和旧叶。在这个过程中，作者偶然发现了知更鸟的巢，并对其产生了浓厚兴趣，想要深入探究巢内的秘密。然而，在父亲的提醒下，作者明白了要尊重自然、不打扰鸟类生活。随后，他们完成了院子里的工作，回到家中休息。第二天，作者一家又投入到新的院子修饰工作中，同时作者依然对知更鸟巢保持关注。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“我在大树下的草地上看到了一个东西——一个鸟巢。”可知，第一段可描写作者在大树下的草地上发现了一个鸟巢，是昨天作者看到的知更鸟的鸟巢，检查发现鸟巢是完整的，决定把它放回树上。 ②由第二段首句内容“在爸爸的帮助下，我小心翼翼地带着鸟巢爬上了树。”可知，第二段可描写作者放回鸟巢的过程以及感悟。 2. 续写线索：发现鸟巢——检查完整——决定放回——成功放回——感悟。 3. 词汇激活 行类 ①检查：examine/check ②注意：keep an eye on/pay attention to ③帮助：help/assist 情绪类 ①忧虑的：distressed/upset ②满意的：satisfied/content 【点睛】[高分句型1]I quickly ran over to it and saw that it was the same nest I had seen in the tree the day before.(that引导的宾语从句，以及省略关系词的定语从句) [高分句型2]It felt good to know that we had helped them and that they could continue to care for their nest and any eggs or baby birds inside.(that引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 丰城九中2024-2025学年高一下学期 段考一 英语试卷 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

He taught himself how to seek animals and birds by the sounds they made. Later, Jim became a tracker and hunter. The authorities asked him to track and shoot man-eating tigers to protect people. Between 1907 and 1938, Jim shot and killed nineteen tigers and fourteen leopards (豹). He did this on foot, sometimes accompanied by his dogs, and he took many risks to save people’s lives. The first tiger he shot was a Champawat Tiger, a tiger that killed more than 436 people. Jim was regarded as a hero by the locals. Jim wondered why the tigers and leopards were killing people. When he examined many cats that he had shot, eventually he made an important discovery that shocked him. They all had injuries. Some had gunshot wounds from poachers (偷猎者). Poaching was common because people could sell tiger skins for decoration and tiger bones for medicine. One tiger had a gunshot wound in its mouth, and its teeth were damaged. Other tigers had injuries and then became sick. The reason why they were eating people was that they couldn’t hunt other creatures to feed on. After his discoveries, Jim became interested in conservation. He concentrated on his new mission: saving tigers. He gave lectures and inspired people to respect wildlife - especially the big cats, which he loved and respected. Two years after he died in 1955, the oldest national park in India got a new name: Corbett National Park. It’s a shelter for tigers, leopards, and other endangered animals. There’s even a species of tiger named after Jim called Corbett’s Tiger, of which there may only be 350 worldwide. 4. Why did Jim Corbett kill tigers? A. Because he was the best hunter then. B. Because tigers hurt and killed people. C. Because authorities needed protection. D. Because he could seek birds by sound. 5. How did Jim discover the reason why tigers attacked people? A. By investigating tigers’ teeth. B. By helping with tigers’ treatment. C By examining tigers with specific facilities. D. By looking at the tigers’ dead bodies carefully. 6. What did Jim do to save tigers? A He protected tigers’ habitat. B. He built new shelters for animals. C. He raised people’s awareness of wildlife protection. D. He gave a number of lectures on tigers’ favorite food. 7. Why was a species of tiger named Corbett’s Tiger? A For Jim’s generosity. B. For Jim’s contributions. C. For their birth place. D. For their limited population. C In the past few years, most states have made it against the rules for people to type messages on their phones while driving. They have also run many public campaigns to try to get people to stop using their phones when they are behind the wheel. But the problem seems to be getting worse. People in the United States are still typing messages, using social media, and taking pictures while driving. The number of car accidents, which had been going down for years, is now going up dramatically. This is partly because people are driving more, but Mark Rosekind, the person in charge of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said that driving while not paying attention was “only increasing, unfortunately”. An idea from lawmakers in New York is to give police officers a new device called the Textalyzer. It would work like this: An officer arriving at the scene of a crash could ask for the phones of the drivers and use the Textalyzer to check in the operating system for recent activity. The technology could determine whether a driver had just texted, emailed or done anything else that is not allowed under New York’s hands-free driving laws. “We need something on the books that can change people’s behavior,” said Félix W. Ortiz, who pushed for the state’s 2001 ban on hand-held devices by drivers. “If the Textalyzer bill becomes law,” he added, “people are going to be more afraid to put their hands on the smartphone.” 8. What is the best description of the prohibition on drivers’ texting in the US? A. Demanding. B. Unsuccessful. C. Irregular. D. Unreasonable. 9. What can the Textalyzer help the police find out? A. The driving speed. B. The driving destination. C. Drivers on the phone. D. Drivers’ arrival time. 10. What does the underlined word “something” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Advice. B. Laws. C. Instructions. D. Knowledge. 11. What is Félix W. Ortiz’s attitude toward the Textalyzer? A. Approving. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. D Recently, I accidentally found a set of Hanfu l only wore once from the bottom of the cupboard. I remember buying them simply to match the ancient-style hair accessories (配饰) a friend gave me. It occurred to me that 1 had been trapped in the “birdcage effect”. “Birdcage effect” means that when you get an item one day, you will prepare more things to match it. Weeks ago, I was in the company of friends engaged in shopping. One said that she wanted to buy a good writing pen to match the delicate notebook that her sister gave her, so that she would fall in love with taking notes on reading, and thus love reading, not just reading. I joked that she must have fallen for the “birdcage effect”. But the friend said with a smile: “Why not use the ‘birdcage effect’ instead?” For the first time, I heard that the “birdcage effect” can be used in reverse (逆向). However, this can’t help but remind me of middle school, and I seem to have used the “birdcage effect”. Passing by a bookstore one day, I purchased a magazine and saw the call for contributions published in the magazine, so I started writing with eager hands, and then I fell in love with writing. After shopping with my friends that time, I began to proceed to use the “birdcage effect”. I bought a small fresh tablecloth to decorate my desk, and a beautiful notebook to record my inspiration. When everything was ready, I started writing again. But how can we get rid of the “birdcage effect” in many things, and even use the “birdcage effect” in the opposite way? Various “birdcages” unavoidably appear in life, but we can distinguish them. If it is not in line with the actual situation, it is a “negative birdcage”, then we must learn to stop losses in time and maintain a heart of abandonment and separation. If it is a “positive birdcage” that motivates us to develop upward, we can clarify our goals, shop or decorate appropriately, and motivate ourselves to move towards our goals. At this time, you will find that the “birdcage effect” is actually not so terrible! 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The application of the “birdcage effect” in life. B. The necessity of using the “birdcage effect” in life. C. The turning point of the author’s idea on the “birdcage effect”. D. The author’s conflict with her friend over the “birdcage effect”. 13. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning her middle school experience? A. To recall her delightful days at school. B. To explain the reason for her love with writing. C. To confirm the positive of the “birdcage effect”. D. To prove her knowledge of the “birdcage effect”. 14. How can we make use of the “birdcage effect” positively? A.

Dad was getting a flower bed ready for Mom to plant flowers in, I was picking up litter next to the fence and Mom was removing old leaves that had been in the yard since last autumn. I found a bird’s nest in the big tree behind our house. After a while, two birds flew back to the nest and I heard their calls from the nest. Dad said they were Robins (知更鸟). I was about to climb the tree to get a good look inside the nest when Dad saw and stopped me. Dad said Robins did not want to be bothered. I nodded. We went for quite a while and then decided to sit at the picnic table with a glass of cool water. As we sat there, I watched the Robin nest in the tree, wondering what was in it. Were there eggs? Were there baby birds? A moment later, we continued to work. When we finished up our work outside, we went in to fix some food and ate supper, then got cleaned up, watched some TV and went to bed. Morning came quickly with the sun shining in through the windows. While we ate breakfast, we talked about what we needed to do for the day. Since it was the weekend, we wanted to do some more work in the yard to finish the jobs we had started the day before. We met outside in the front yard this time to do some touch-up work to the front of the house. Dad got out a big tank of white paint to take care of some chips (缺口) along the lower edge of the house next to the basement windows. It was another nice sunny day. As Dad did the painting work, Mom and I picked rocks out of the grass. 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。 And I saw a thing in the grass under the big tree — a bird nest. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With Dad’s help, I climbed up the tree carefully with the meet. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
