I put on my running shoes and I found my rhythm as my feet hit the ground. My adrenaline (肾上腺素) kicked in as I told myself, “This is my comeback.” Prior to giving birth to a baby, I had been a runner since my 20s. Running made me feel free and it brought me a sense of peace I couldn’t find anywhere else. The harder my feet worked, the more I relaxed. Now, as a new mom in my late 30s, I was picking running back up to prove to myself I was still the old me. However, it was not easy. My legs were weak as I shuffled (拖着脚走) down the track. I felt defeated. The old me had never felt so far away. Running felt like a burden, and the joy was far away from me. Even worse, I felt like a living dead at home. My son wasn’t sleeping through the night, which was exhausting all my extra energy. However, I kept going. I went out for a run again and again. A few times a week, I pulled on my shoes and slowly, my one mile route turned into a 5kilometer. Gone were the debates in my head over whether I was a good mom and whether my house would ever be clean again. Running just let me be. I had signed up for the half marathon I ran annually before my son was born as a motivation. When I began running, the marathon route felt so long, but then suddenly, it was over. When I crossed the finish line, I felt like a champion wearing my participant’s medal. My finish time was just a number; what mattered more to me was the journey. Through my running experience, I have realized that nothing is impossible to a willing heart, not only running, but also anything else. 4. Why did the author run in her twenties? A. To enjoy some alone time. B. To maintain a good figure. C. To keep physical health. D. To pursue inner peace. 5. Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. Proud. B. Determined. C. Outgoing. D. Modest. 6. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph? A. The author occasionally joined in the marathon before. B. Half marathon seemed longer than expected all the way. C. What is worth doing well is to achieve high scores. D. What the author can gain during the process matters most. 7. What message does the article convey to readers? A. Where there is a will, there is a way. B. A good beginning is half success. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Time lost cannot be regained. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了刚刚生产完的妈妈意志坚定地参加马拉松的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Running made me feel free and it brought me a sense of peace I couldn’t find anywhere else. The harder my feet worked, the more I relaxed.(跑步让我感到自由，带给我一种在其他地方找不到的平静感。我的脚越用力，我就越放松)”可知，作者跑步的原因是追求内心的平静，故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“However, I kept going. I went out for a run again and again. A few times a week, I pulled on my shoes and slowly, my one mile route turned into a 5kilometer.(然而，我继续前进。我一次又一次地出去跑步。一周几次，我穿上鞋子，慢慢地，我的一英里路线变成了五公里)”可知，作者是意志坚定的。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“My finish time was just a number; what mattered more to me was the journey.( 我完成时间只是一个数字；对我来说更重要的是旅程)”可知，对作者而言在跑步过程中所获得的是最重要的。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Through my running experience, I have realized that nothing is impossible to a willing heart, not only running, but also anything else.(通过我的跑步经历，我意识到，对于一颗愿意的心，没有什么是不可能的，不仅是跑步，还有其他任何事情)”可知，本文给我们的人生启发是“有志者，事竟成”。故选A项。 C Concrete has served as the foundation stone of the construction industry for hundreds of years. However, the process of producing concrete is one of the most environmentally unfriendly processes in the world. In the process, not only is carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) released into the air by the energy used to heat the limestone, but the limestone itself also gives out a huge amount of the element. Luckily, a number of start-ups throughout the world are using creative thinking to make the construction industry a whole lot more friendly for the planet. A Canadian company called CarbonCure, has found a way to inject (注入) concrete with carbon dioxide itself. Not only does this trap the carbon dioxide into the concrete, keeping it from running away into the atmosphere, but it also creates a super strong material called calcium carbonate, which reduces the total amount of concrete that needs to be used. California-based Brimstone, is creating carbon-negative concrete by doing away with limestone entirely and instead using silicate rock, a material that does not release carbon dioxide when heated. Instead, the process produces magnesium (镁) , which absorbs carbon dioxide, as the basis for their concrete. Additionally, researchers at Australia’s RMIT University have recently released a study showing that adding coffee grounds instead of sand to concrete could make it much stronger, reducing both the amount of sand used, as well as the amount of concrete that would need to be used in the final product. The biggest barrier at this point is convincing members of the industry that the new types of concrete are safe to be used, according to Stacy Smedley, director at a nonprofit focused on decarbonizing construction. Hopefully these new solutions to the environmental problems of concrete will soon be widely adopted. Given the significant part the construction industry has in releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, great improvements can be made when more environmentally-friendly materials are used. 8. What is the environmental issue associated with traditional concrete production? A. The high demand for energy. B. The processing of waste materials. C. The mass release of carbon dioxide. D. The use of non-renewable resources. 9. How does CarbonCure deal with the environmental impact of concrete production? A. By using silicate rock as the basis. B. By putting carbon dioxide into concrete. C. By replacing sand with coffee grounds. D. By absorbing carbon dioxide with magnesium. 10. According to Smedley, what is the major challenge facing these solutions? A. Difficulty in making profits. B. Convincing the public of the convenience. C. Lack of funding for research. D. Removing the industry members’ safety concerns. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To promote an alternative to concrete. B. To advocate environmental protection. C. To introduce new ways to produce concrete. D. To emphasize the significance of creativity. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了建筑混凝土生产对环境的严重影响，以及一些公司和学者通过创新思维研究出新的建筑材料和生产方法，以减少混凝土生产过程中的二氧化碳排放，并推动建筑行业向更环保的方向转变。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In the process, not only is carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) released into the air by the energy used to heat the limestone, but the limestone itself also gives out a huge amount of the element.(在这个过程中，不仅二氧化碳被用于加热石灰石的能量释放到空气中，而且石灰石本身也释放出大量的元素。)”可知，与传统混凝土生产相关的环境问题是二氧化碳释放到空气中。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“A Canadian company called Carbon Cure, has found a way to inject concrete with carbon dioxide itself. (一家名为Carbon Cure的加拿大公司已经找到了一种向混凝土中注入二氧化碳的方法。)”可知，通过将二氧化碳放入混凝土中，Carbon Cure解决了混凝土生产对环境的影响。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The biggest barrier at this point is convincing members of the industry that the new types of concrete are safe to be used, according to Stacy Smedley, director at a nonprofit focused on decarbonizing construction.( 一家专注于脱碳建筑的非营利组织的负责人Stacy Smedley表示，目前最大的障碍是让业内人士相信，新型混凝土是可以安全使用的。)”可知，根据Smedley的说法，消除行业成员的安全担忧是这些解决方案面临的主要挑战。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“A Canadian company called CarbonCure, has found a way to inject (注入) concrete with carbon dioxide itself. Not only does this trap the carbon dioxide into the concrete, keeping it from running away into the atmosphere, but it also creates a super strong material called calcium carbonate, which reduces the total amount of concrete that needs to be used.(一家名为CarbonCure的加拿大公司已经找到了一种向混凝土中注入二氧化碳的方法。这不仅可以将二氧化碳困在混凝土中，防止其逃逸到大气中，而且还可以产生一种叫做碳酸钙的超强材料，从而减少需要使用的混凝土总量。)”以及最后一段中“Hopefully these new solutions to the environmental problems of concrete will soon be widely adopted.(希望这些解决混凝土环境问题的新方法能很快被广泛采用。)”以及通读全文可知，本文介绍了建筑混凝土生产对环境的严重影响，以及一些公司和学者通过创新思维研究出新的建筑材料和生产方法，以减少混凝土生产过程中的二氧化碳排放，并推动建筑行业向更环保的方向转变。故文章的目的是介绍生产混凝土的新方法。故选C。 D Endangered polar bears are breeding (繁殖) with grizzly bears (灰熊), creating “pizzly” bears, which is being driven by climate change, scientists say. As the world warms and Arctic sea ice thins, starving polar bears are being forced ever further south, where they meet grizzlies, whose ranges are expanding northwards. And with that growing contact between the two come increasing hybrids (杂交种). With characteristics that could give the hybrids an advantage in warming northern habitats, some scientists guess that they could be here to stay. “Usually, hybrids aren’t better suited to their environments than their parents, but these hybrids are able to search for a broader range of food sources,” Larisa DeSantis, an associate professor of biological sciences at Vanderbilt University, told Live Science. The rise of “pizzly” bears appears with polar bears’ decline: their numbers are estimated to decrease by more than 30% in the next 30 years. This sudden fall is linked partly to “pizzly” bears taking up polar bears’ ranges, where they outcompete them, but also to polar bears’ highly specialized diets. “Polar bears mainly consumed soft foods even during the Medieval Warm Period, a previous period of rapid warming,” DeSantis said, referring to fat meals such as seals. “Although all of these starving polar bears are trying to find alternative food sources, like seabird eggs, it could be a tipping point for their survival.” Actually, the calories they gain from these sources do not balance out those they burn from searching for them. This could result in a habitat ready for the hybrids to move in and take over, leading to a loss in biodiversity if polar bears are replaced. “We’re having massive impacts with climate change on species,” DeSantis said. “The polar bear is telling us how bad things are. In some sense, “pizzly” bears could be a sad but necessary compromise given current warming trends.” 12. Why do polar bears move further south? A. To create hybrids. B. To expand territory. C. To relieve hunger. D. To contact grizzlies. 13 What makes “pizzly” bears adapt to natural surroundings better than their parents? A Broader habitats. B. More food options. C. Climate preference. D. Improved breeding ability. 14. What does the underlined phrase “a tipping point” in paragraph 5 refer to? A. A rare chance. B. A critical stage. C. A positive factor. D. A constant change. 15. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Polar bears are changing diets for climate change. B. Polar bears have already adjusted to climate change. C. “Pizzly” bears are on the rise because of global warming. D. “Pizzly”bears have replaced polar bears for global warming. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了由于气候变暖，濒危北极熊正在与灰熊一起繁殖，创造出“小灰熊”，杂交的“小灰熊”数量正在增加，这说明全球气候正在变得更糟糕。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“As the world warms and Arctic sea ice thins, starving polar bears are being forced ever further south, where they meet grizzlies, whose ranges are expanding northwards.(随着全球变暖和北极海冰变薄，饥饿的北极熊被迫向南迁徙，在那里它们遇到了活动范围向北扩展的灰熊。)”可知，北极熊向南迁移是为了缓解饥饿。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““Usually, hybrids aren’t better suited to their environments than their parents, but these hybrids are able to search for a broader range of food sources,” Larisa DeSantis, an associate professor of biological sciences at Vanderbilt University, told Live Science.(Vanderbilt大学生物科学副教授Larisa DeSantis告诉Live Science：“通常情况下，杂交后代并不比它们的父母更适合它们的环境，但这些杂交后代能够寻找更广泛的食物来源。”)”可知，更多的食物选择让“小熊”比它们的父母更能适应自然环境。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Although all of these starving polar bears are trying to find alternative food sources, like seabird eggs(尽管所有这些饥饿的北极熊都在试图寻找其他食物来源，比如海鸟蛋)”可知，饥饿的北极熊寻找食物来源，这对它们的生存至关重要，因此a tipping point的意思是“至关重要的阶段”，和A critical stage意思相近，故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Endangered polar bears are breeding (繁殖) with grizzly bears (灰熊), creating “pizzly” bears, which is being driven by climate change, scientists say.(科学家说，濒危的北极熊正在与灰熊繁殖，创造出小灰熊，这是由气候变化驱动的。)”和倒数第二段“This could result in a habitat ready for the hybrids to move in and take over, leading to a loss in biodiversity if polar bears are replaced.(这可能会导致栖息地准备好让杂交物种进入并接管，如果北极熊被取代，将导致生物多样性的丧失。)”可知，本文主要介绍了由于气候变暖，濒危北极熊正在与灰熊一起繁殖，创造出“小灰熊”，杂交的“小灰熊”数量正在增加，这说明全球气候正在变得更糟糕，因此主旨是C选项““Pizzly” bears are on the rise because of global warming.(由于全球变暖，“小灰熊”的数量正在上升。)”。故选C。 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。 Life on Earth couldn’t exist without oceans. ___16___ World Oceans Day is a time to enhance understanding of oceans and why we must change the bad situation.

I cannot stand it anymore!” My owner’s mother shouted at the top of her lungs. “Wolfie has to go! Have a dog that’s so big and eats so much! I cannot stand him urinating (小便) all over the house instead of in the small basin at his kennel (狗窝)!” “But…” My owner cried. “No buts, Bob!” His mother shouted. Her cold tone indicated she meant business. Now think back on your most depressing moment. Then multiply that feeling of depression by a hundred. That was how I felt at that time. I would be separated from my beloved owner, Bob. This was the end and I had no one to blame but myself. Lowering his head in sadness, Bob dragged himself towards his room and slowly closed the door. With a click, he locked it. I went back to my kennel and lay inside. I sighed deeply, tears welling up in my eyes. Soon, I would have no owner and I would have to find shelter, food and water by myself. Poor me. After a while, I heard footsteps that were becoming louder by the second. I raised my head and saw Bob walking towards me with a leash (皮带) in his left hand. “We are going to the market,” Bob told me as he tied one end of the leash around my neck. A walk would make me feel better. I followed Bob and his mother to the market. Soon, we reached the long road that we had to cross to get to the market. After waiting for ages, the traffic light finally turned green. While crossing the road, Bob walked slowly as he seemed about leaving me. We were soon falling behind his mother. From the comer of my eye, I saw something moving closer and closer at great speed. It was a red car speeding towards Bob’s mother! Bob also saw it but his mother was unaware of the danger approaching her! I caught a glance of the look of horror on Bob’s face. He had turned white in horror. 注意: 1. 续写词数应该为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I needed to do something! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ She looked down at me, feeling touched. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I needed to do something! Then, an idea struck me. Without hesitation, I let out a loud bark and broke away from Bob. I raced towards Bob’s mother. With an extra burst of energy, I caught up to her, leapt and pushed her aside. She staggered forward but soon balanced herself. The car sped past, barely missing me by an inch. Lucky me! Bob rushed towards his mother and me. We got to the safety of the pavement. “I…I cannot believe this. Wol…Wolfie saved my life,” Bob’s mother cried, still in shock from her near-death experience. She looked down at me, feeling touched. I responded with a bark. Her eyes softened and she gave me a hug. “Let’s continue to keep him,” she said. I could not believe my ears. I barked and wagged my tail excitedly while Bob’s eyes widened in delight. He was jumping for joy. Now, I have turned over a new leaf. I make sure that I urinate in the small basin in my kennel and the whole family now treats me like a hero, but I feel that what I did was just something anyone would have done in my position. 【解析】 【导语】文章以动物为线索展开，讲述了一只名叫Wolfie的大狗和它主人Bob以及Bob的母亲之间的故事。Wolfie因为体型大和食量大，并且经常在家里随地小便而不是在狗窝里，所以Bob的母亲决定要将它送走。这让Wolfie感到极度沮丧和害怕，因为它将被迫与深爱的主人Bob分离。然而，在即将被送走的前夕，Bob带着Wolfie去市场，途中发生了一起危险的事故。一辆红色汽车高速冲向Bob的母亲，而Bob的母亲并未察觉到这个危险。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“我需要做点什么！”可知，第一段可描写Wolfie救了主人母亲性命的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“她低下头看着我，感到很感动。”可知，第二段可描写主人的母亲打算继续养Wolfie以及Bob和Wolfie的反应。 2.续写线索：Wolfie救了Bob的母亲——母亲感到震惊——决定继续养Wolfie——Bob很高兴——Wolfie的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①脱离：break away from/separate oneself from ②追上：catch up to/keep up with ③饲养：keep/raise 情绪类 ①兴奋地：excitedly/cheerfully ②震惊地：in shock/stunned 【点睛】[高分句型1]The car sped past, barely missing me by an inch.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2]I make sure that I urinate in the small basin in my kennel and the whole family now treats me like a hero, but I feel that what I did was just something anyone would have done in my position.（运用了that引导宾语从句和what引导主语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 滕州实验高级中学2024~2025学年度第二学期第一次调研考试 高二年级英语学科试题 注意事项： 1. 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. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡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。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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.

I put on my running shoes and I found my rhythm as my feet hit the ground. My adrenaline (肾上腺素) kicked in as I told myself, “This is my comeback.” Prior to giving birth to a baby, I had been a runner since my 20s. Running made me feel free and it brought me a sense of peace I couldn’t find anywhere else. The harder my feet worked, the more I relaxed. Now, as a new mom in my late 30s, I was picking running back up to prove to myself I was still the old me. However, it was not easy. My legs were weak as I shuffled (拖着脚走) down the track. I felt defeated. The old me had never felt so far away. Running felt like a burden, and the joy was far away from me. Even worse, I felt like a living dead at home. My son wasn’t sleeping through the night, which was exhausting all my extra energy. However I kept going. I went out for a run again and again. A few times a week, I pulled on my shoes and slowly, my one mile route turned into a 5kilometer. Gone were the debates in my head over whether I was a good mom and whether my house would ever be clean again. Running just let me be. I had signed up for the half marathon I ran annually before my son was born as a motivation. When I began running, the marathon route felt so long, but then suddenly, it was over. When I crossed the finish line, I felt like a champion wearing my participant’s medal. My finish time was just a number; what mattered more to me was the journey. Through my running experience, I have realized that nothing is impossible to a willing heart, not only running, but also anything else. 4. Why did the author run in her twenties? A.

C Concrete has served as the foundation stone of the construction industry for hundreds of years. However, the process of producing concrete is one of the most environmentally unfriendly processes in the world. In the process, not only is carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) released into the air by the energy used to heat the limestone, but the limestone itself also gives out a huge amount of the element. Luckily, a number of start-ups throughout the world are using creative thinking to make the construction industry a whole lot more friendly for the planet. A Canadian company called CarbonCure, has found a way to inject (注入) concrete with carbon dioxide itself. Not only does this trap the carbon dioxide into the concrete, keeping it from running away into the atmosphere, but it also creates a super strong material called calcium carbonate, which reduces the total amount of concrete that needs to be used. California-based Brimstone, is creating carbon-negative concrete by doing away with limestone entirely and instead using silicate rock, a material that does not release carbon dioxide when heated. Instead, the process produces magnesium (镁) , which absorbs carbon dioxide, as the basis for their concrete. Additionally, researchers at Australia’s RMIT University have recently released a study showing that adding coffee grounds instead of sand to concrete could make it much stronger, reducing both the amount of sand used, as well as the amount of concrete that would need to be used in the final product. The biggest barrier at this point is convincing members of the industry that the new types of concrete are safe to be used, according to Stacy Smedley, director at a nonprofit focused on decarbonizing construction. Hopefully these new solutions to the environmental problems of concrete will soon be widely adopted. Given the significant part the construction industry has in releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, great improvements can be made when more environmentally-friendly materials are used. 8. What is the environmental issue associated with traditional concrete production? A. The high demand for energy. B. The processing of waste materials. C. The mass release of carbon dioxide. D. The use of non-renewable resources. 9. How does CarbonCure deal with the environmental impact of concrete production? A. By using silicate rock as the basis. B. By putting carbon dioxide into concrete. C. By replacing sand with coffee grounds. D. By absorbing carbon dioxide with magnesium. 10. According to Smedley, what is the major challenge facing these solutions? A. Difficulty in making profits. B. Convincing the public of the convenience. C. Lack of funding for research. D. Removing the industry members’ safety concerns. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To promote an alternative to concrete. B. To advocate environmental protection. C. To introduce new ways to produce concrete. D. To emphasize the significance of creativity. D Endangered polar bears are breeding (繁殖) with grizzly bears (灰熊), creating “pizzly” bears, which is being driven by climate change, scientists say. As the world warms and Arctic sea ice thins, starving polar bears are being forced ever further south, where they meet grizzlies, whose ranges are expanding northwards. And with that growing contact between the two come increasing hybrids (杂交种). With characteristics that could give the hybrids an advantage in warming northern habitats, some scientists guess that they could be here to stay. “Usually, hybrids aren’t better suited to their environments than their parents, but these hybrids are able to search for a broader range of food sources,” Larisa DeSantis, an associate professor of biological sciences at Vanderbilt University, told Live Science. The rise of “pizzly” bears appears with polar bears’ decline: their numbers are estimated to decrease by more than 30% in the next 30 years. This sudden fall is linked partly to “pizzly” bears taking up polar bears’ ranges, where they outcompete them, but also to polar bears’ highly specialized diets. “Polar bears mainly consumed soft foods even during the Medieval Warm Period, a previous period of rapid warming,” DeSantis said, referring to fat meals such as seals. “Although all of these starving polar bears are trying to find alternative food sources, like seabird eggs, it could be a tipping point for their survival.” Actually, the calories they gain from these sources do not balance out those they burn from searching for them. This could result in a habitat ready for the hybrids to move in and take over, leading to a loss in biodiversity if polar bears are replaced. “We’re having massive impacts with climate change on species,” DeSantis said. “The polar bear is telling us how bad things are. In some sense, “pizzly” bears could be a sad but necessary compromise given current warming trends.” 12. Why do polar bears move further south? A. To create hybrids. B. To expand territory. C. To relieve hunger. D. To contact grizzlies. 13. What makes “pizzly” bears adapt to natural surroundings better than their parents? A. Broader habitats. B. More food options. C. Climate preference. D. Improved breeding ability. 14 What does the underlined phrase “a tipping point” in paragraph 5 refer to? A. A rare chance. B. A critical stage. C. A positive factor. D. A constant change. 15. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Polar bears are changing diets for climate change. B. Polar bears have already adjusted to climate change. C. “Pizzly” bears are on the rise because of global warming.
