Lightning strikes are the second most common cause of deaths during natural disasters in the US. The first is floods. Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year, and of those, 70 people die. That is, more people are killed by lightning than by tornadoes and hurricanes. Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time, its danger does not receive as much attention as other disasters. "If you hear the thunder, you are in danger from lightning," said Rocky Lopes, a disaster educator at the American Red Cross. "Thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any time, so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until the storm has ended. The most important thing to remember is to seek shelter (遮蔽物), " Lopes said. Summer is the peak time for lightning storms, so when lightning strikes across the sky, remember these safety tips: ♦ Stop working, fishing, swimming or playing in open fields. ♦ Do not stand under a tree. ♦ Get off bicycle and motorcycles. ♦ Crouch down (蹲下) if there is no shelter. ♦ Avoid open spaces, wire fences, metal objects and electrical objects such as hair driers. 39.

The Danger of Lightning B. Some Safety Tips against Floods C. How Lightning Happens D. 5 People Killed by Lightning in Nepal 【答案】39. D 40. C 41. B 42. D 43. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是闪电的危险和如何避免受到闪电的袭击。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Lightning strikes are the second most common cause of deaths during natural disasters in the US. The first is floods.（在美国，雷击是自然灾害中第二大常见死亡原因。首先是洪水。）”可知，故选D。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year, and of those, 70 people die.（全国每年约有400人被闪电击中，其中70人死亡。）”可知，在美国每年被闪电击中的人中，大约有330人幸运地活了下来。故选C。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段的“Thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any time, so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until the storm has ended.（打雷意味着闪电离你很近，随时可能击中你，所以你应该马上躲进室内，直到暴风雨结束。）”可知，如果你听到雷声，你应该做的最重要的事情是找个地方躲起来，故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Lightning strikes are the second most common cause of deaths during natural disasters in the US. The first is floods.（在美国，雷击是自然灾害中第二大常见死亡原因。首先是洪水。）”可知，在美国，洪水是最常见的死亡原因，A项正确；根据第二段的“Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year, and of those, 70 people die. That is, more people are killed by lightning than by tornadoes and hurricanes.（全国每年约有400人被闪电击中，其中70人死亡。也就是说，死于闪电的人比死于龙卷风和飓风的人要多。）”可知，在美国，每年有不到70人死于龙卷风和飓风，B选项正确；根据第五段的“Thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any time, so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until the storm has ended.（打雷意味着闪电离你很近，随时可能击中你，所以你应该马上躲进室内，直到暴风雨结束。）”可知，如果你听到雷声，你应该马上移动到室内，因此C选项正确；根据第三段的“Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time, its danger does not receive as much attention as other disasters.（因为闪电一次只杀死一到两个人，它的危险不像其他灾难那样受到重视。）”可知，人们是对闪电不够重视，因此D选项不正确，故选D。 【43题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段的“Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year, and of those, 70 people die. That is, more people are killed by lightning than by tornadoes and hurricanes.（全国每年约有400人被闪电击中，其中70人死亡。也就是说，死于闪电的人比死于龙卷风和飓风的人要多。）”及后文的安全提示可知，本文主要讲的是闪电的危险和如何避免受到闪电的袭击，因此最好的题目是A选项“The Danger of Lightning（闪电的危险）”，故选A。 (C) I first met Paul Newman in 1968 when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio (工作室) didn’t want me for the film-it wanted somebody as well-known as Paul-he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers. The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft (技艺) and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other-but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core (核心) of our relationship off the screen. We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back-he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events. I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words. 44. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first? A. Paul Newman wanted it. B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent. C. He wasn’t famous enough. D. The director recommended someone else. 45. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship? A. They were of the same age. B. They worked in the same theater. C. They were both good actors. D. They have similar characteristics. 46. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Their success. B. Their care for children. C. Their belief. D. Their support for each other. 47. What is the author’s purpose in writing the test? A. To remember a friend. B. To show his love of films. C. To introduce a new movie. D. To share his acting experience. 48. What have you learned from the last paragraph? A. They didn’t like to talk with each other. B. They knew each other very well. C. They were not afraid of death. D. They were both seriously ill. 【答案】44. C 45. D 46. C 47. A 48. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与保罗·纽曼之间的友谊和共同经历。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When the studio didn’t want me for the film—it wanted somebody as well-known as Paul.(当工作室不想让我演这部电影时——它想要像保罗一样有名的人。)”可知，工作室一开始不愿意把这个角色给作者是因为他不够有名。故选C。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“We were respectful of craft and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other—but always with an underlying affection.(我们尊重技艺，专注于深入挖掘我们要扮演的角色。我们两人都具有美国演员的典型品质和美德：幽默、积极进取，互相取笑——但总是带着一种潜在的深情。)”可知，保罗和作者有着持久的友谊是因为他们有相似的性格。故选D。 【46题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back-he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. (我们有一个共同的信念，那就是，如果你足够幸运地取得了成功，你应该回报一些东西——他有他自己的食物，他为重病儿童举办的“墙洞”营地，我有圣丹斯电影节、学院和电影节。)”可知，“that”指代前文的shared belief，即成功后应回馈社会，这是他们共同的信念。故选C。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要讲述了作者与保罗·纽曼的友谊和共同经历，特别是在保罗·纽曼生病和去世前的最后时光。根据短文内容，特别是最后一段中作者提到最后一次见到保罗·纽曼的情景，可以推断出作者写这篇文章的目的是为了纪念一个朋友，即保罗·纽曼。故选A。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words (我几个月前最后一次见到他。他进出医院。我和他都知道是怎么回事，我们没有谈论它。我们关系不需要太多言语。)”可知，作者和保罗·纽曼非常了解彼此。故选B。 (D) Namibia is home to some of the world’s richest wildlife and poorest communities. By helping people benefit from their natural resources, World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) has helped both to thrive (兴旺发达). Half a century ago, Namibia was rich in wildlife. But during the 1970s, a huge rise in illegal poaching (非法偷猎) caused a dramatic fall in wildlife numbers. After gaining independence from South Africa in 1990, Namibia became the first country in Africa to write environmental protection into its constitution (宪法). The government passed a law giving people the right to manage and benefit from their own natural resources. WWF has started a program and worked with Namibian partners to provide training and technical support to help communities protect their land and manage it sustainably. So far, 235,000 people across Namibia have joined together to create 59 special conservation areas. In just over 20 years WWF has helped Namibia to double the amount of protected space — and wildlife is thriving. Local people benefit as a result. The conservation areas bring in more than 5.5m dollars a year, and the communities that manage the land benefit from jobs created by ecotourism. Poachers are no longer welcome. John Kasaona, a director of an environmental group in Namibia, says that the success of community conservation is “the good news from Africa that we have to shout from the rooftops. We’ve been successful because we dreamed of a future that was much more than just healthy wildlife. We knew conservation would fail if it didn’t improve the lives of local communities.” The success in Namibia shows that putting the power to protect in the hands of local communities helps build a better life for animals, their environment and people. WWF has decided to take the idea to Zambia, Mozambique, and even such faraway places as Mongolia to inspire even more people to play their part in creating a more sustainable future where everyone is better off. 49. What do we know about Namibia after its independence? A. It saw a huge rise in the number of poachers. B. It has taken wildlife protection very seriously. C. It has succeeded in exploring new natural resources. D. It realized the necessity of working with South Africa. 50. How did the WWF’s project in Namibia turn out? A. It helped improve the legal system in Namibia. B. It took longer to complete than expected. C. It got great support from poachers. D. It created a win-win situation. 51. What should we take into consideration when protecting wildlife according to John? A. The living standards of locals. B. Populations of local communities. C. Advice from international groups. D. The development of future technology. 52. What will WWF do next? A. Start a more sustainable program in Namibia. B. Protect the rights of local communities in Mongolia. C. Introduce community conservation into other countries. D. Find inspiration to protect wildlife in other countries. 53. Which column of the magazine does the text come from? A. Sports. B. Environment. C. Economy. D. Life. 【答案】49. B 50. D 51. A 52. C 53. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了世界自然基金会（WWF）在纳米比亚实施的社区保护项目如何通过帮助当地居民从自然资源中获益，实现了野生动物保护和社区发展的双赢局面，并计划将该模式推广到其他国家。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“After gaining independence from South Africa in 1990, Namibia became the first country in Africa to write environmental protection into its constitution (宪法).(独立后，纳米比亚成为非洲首个将环境保护写入宪法的国家)”可知，纳米比亚独立后高度重视野生动物保护。故选B项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In just over 20 years WWF has helped Namibia to double the amount of protected space—and wildlife is thriving. Local people benefit as a result. The conservation areas bring in more than 5.5 m dollars a year, and the communities that manage the land benefit from jobs created by ecotourism.(在短短20多年的时间里，世界自然基金会帮助纳米比亚将保护区面积扩大了一倍，野生动物也在蓬勃发展。当地人因此受益。保护区每年带来超过550万美元的收入，管理土地的社区也从生态旅游创造的就业机会中受益)”可知，项目实现了生态与经济的双赢。故选D项。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“We knew conservation would fail if it didn’t improve the lives of local communities(我们知道，如果不能改善当地社区的生活，自然保护就会失败)”可知，在保护野生动物时我们应该考虑当地居民生活水平。故选A项。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“WWF has decided to take the idea to Zambia, Mozambique, and even such faraway places as Mongolia to inspire even more people to play their part in creating a more sustainable future where everyone is better off.(世界自然基金会决定把这个想法带到赞比亚、莫桑比克，甚至像蒙古这样遥远的地方，激励更多的人为创造一个更可持续的未来发挥自己的作用，让每个人都过上更好的生活)”可知，下一步是向其他国家推广社区保护。故选C项。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。主要讲述了世界自然基金会（WWF）在纳米比亚实施的社区保护项目如何通过帮助当地居民从自然资源中获益，实现了野生动物保护和社区发展的双赢局面，并计划将该模式推广到其他国家。所以推测短文来自杂志的“环境”专栏。故选B项。 Ⅳ．阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 Growing up in San Francisco, Grace Young used to watch her father shop daily in Chinatown for whatever he needed to make traditional Chinese meals at home. As an award-winning cookbook author, Ms. Young, now 66, has spent decades shopping the same way in New York’s Chinatown. Ms. Young developed a passion for cooking at an early age. At 13, she started to sit in on cooking classes. After college, Ms. Young moved to New York and worked in a book-packaging company. In her 30s, she realized that while she had helped create more than 40 cookbooks, she didn’t know how to make the dishes that tasted of home. “I knew if I recorded all of my parents’ recipes, it would be a great gift that I could give my family and the next generation.” she says. Yet what began as a recipe book became a kind of memoir. Talking about food encouraged her parents to finally open up about their past, like the fact that her father had owned a Chinatown restaurant in the 1940s. “It was really an amazing way to learn not only my family’s recipes, but also my family’s story. “she says. The Wisdom of the Chinese Kitchen (1999) launched Ms. Young’s work in preserving and sustaining Chinese culinary (烹饪的)traditions. Ms. Young has also devoted herself to supporting the restaurants in Chinatown. Since early 2020, Ms. Young has raised money to buy meals from Chinatown restaurants and deliver them to those in need. This year, instead of cooking at home for her husband and friends, she celebrated the Chinese New Year with various dishes from local restaurants in Chinatown. “If these restaurants don’t survive, Chinese culinary traditions in our city won’t survive.” she says. 54. What is Ms. Young known as?(no more than 5 words) _______________________________________________________ 55. Why did Ms. Young want to record her parents’ recipes?(no more than 15 words) _______________________________________________________ 56. What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 3?(no more than 2 words) _______________________________________________________ 57. What has Ms. Young done to help Chinatown restaurants? Please give an example. (no more than 15 words) _______________________________________________________ 58. How does Ms. Young inspire you in her efforts to preserve Chinese Culinary traditions? Please explain in your own words. (no more than 20 words) _______________________________________________________ 【答案】54. An award-winning cookbook author. 55. To give her family and the next generation a great gift. 56. Personal experiences 57. Raised money to buy meals from Chinatown restaurants and delivered them to those in need. 58 Her work inspires me to learn more about Chinese cooking and to share it with others. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇人物传记。文章主要讲述了Grace Young的故事，她从小在唐人街看着父亲购买食材烹饪中国美食，后来成为一名烹饪书作家。她通过自己的努力和影响力，让更多人了解和欣赏中国烹饪文化。 【54题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“As an award-winning cookbook author, Ms. Young, now 66, has spent decades shopping the same way in New York’s Chinatown.(作为一名屡获殊荣的烹饪书作者，现年66岁的杨女士几十年来一直在纽约的唐人街以同样的方式购物。)”可知，杨女士是一名屡获殊荣的烹饪书作者。故答案为An award-winning cookbook author。 【55题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段““I knew if I recorded all of my parents’ recipes, it would be a great gift that I could give my family and the next generation.” she says.(“我知道如果我把父母所有的食谱都记录下来，这将是我送给家人和下一代的一份很棒的礼物。”她说。)”可知，她认为把所有的食谱记下来，可以作为给家人和下一代的一份很棒的礼物。故答案为To give her family and the next generation a great gift。 【56题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词下文“Talking about food encouraged her parents to finally open up about their past, like the fact that her father had owned a Chinatown restaurant in the 1940s. “It was really an amazing way to learn not only my family’s recipes, but also my family’s story. “she says. (谈论食物鼓励她的父母最终敞开心扉谈论他们的过去，比如她父亲在20世纪40年代曾在唐人街开过一家餐馆。“这真的是一个很棒的方式，不仅可以了解我家人的食谱，还可以了解我家人的故事。”她说。)”可推测，划线单词指的是“个人的一些曾经的过往或经历”。故答案为Personal experiences。 【57题详解】 考查细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Ms. Young has also devoted herself to supporting the restaurants in Chinatown. Since early 2020, Ms. Young has raised money to buy meals from Chinatown restaurants and deliver them to those in need. This year, instead of cooking at home for her husband and friends, she celebrated the Chinese New Year with various dishes from local restaurants in Chinatown.(杨女士还致力于支持唐人街的餐馆。自2020年初以来，杨女士一直在筹集资金，从唐人街的餐馆购买饭菜，并将它们送到有需要的人手中。今年，她没有在家为丈夫和朋友做饭，而是在唐人街的当地餐馆吃了各种各样的菜来庆祝中国新年。“如果这些餐馆没有生存下去，我们城市的中国烹饪传统也将不复存在。”她说。)”可知，杨女士一直在筹集资金，从唐人街的餐馆购买饭菜，并将它们送到有需要的人手中。故答案为Raised money to buy meals from Chinatown restaurants and delivered them to those in need。 【58题详解】 开放题。要求考生谈谈杨女士是如何激励考生努力保护中国烹饪传统的，考生言之有理即可。故参考答案为Her work inspires me to learn more about Chinese cooking and to share it with others。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024-2025学年高一下学期第一次月考 英语 （考试时间：70分钟 试卷满分：100分） Ⅰ．单项填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 1. —I’m thinking of the test tomorrow.

Lightning strikes are the second most common cause of deaths during natural disasters in the US. The first is floods. Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year, and of those, 70 people die. That is, more people are killed by lightning than by tornadoes and hurricanes. Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time, its danger does not receive as much attention as other disasters. "If you hear the thunder, you are in danger from lightning," said Rocky Lopes, a disaster educator at the American Red Cross. "Thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any time, so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until the storm has ended. The most important thing to remember is to seek shelter (遮蔽物), " Lopes said. Summer is the peak time for lightning storms, so when lightning strikes across the sky, remember these safety tips: ♦ Stop working, fishing, swimming or playing in open fields. ♦ Do not stand under a tree. ♦ Get off bicycle and motorcycles. ♦ Crouch down (蹲下) if there is no shelter. ♦ Avoid open spaces, wire fences, metal objects and electrical objects such as hair driers. 39. In the US, ______ is the most common cause of deaths during natural disasters. A. lightning B. tornadoes C. hurricanes D. floods 40. Of the people who are struck by lightning every year in the US, about ______ people are lucky enough to survive. A. 400 B. 70 C. 330 D. 5 41. If you hear the thunder, the most important thing you should do is to ______. A. stand still in the open spaces B. find shelter to hide in C. stand under the tree D. stop working in the fields 42. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Floods are the most common cause of deaths in the US. B. Less than 70 people are killed by tornadoes and hurricanes each year in the US. C. If you hear the thunder, you should move indoors right away. D. People don't pay as much attention to the danger of hurricanes as that of floods. 43. Which of the following is the best title? A. The Danger of Lightning B. Some Safety Tips against Floods C. How Lightning Happens D. 5 People Killed by Lightning in Nepal (C) I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio (工作室) didn’t want me for the film-it wanted somebody as well-known as Paul-he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers. The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft (技艺) and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other-but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core (核心) of our relationship off the screen. We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back-he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events. I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words. 44. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first? A. Paul Newman wanted it. B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent. C. He wasn’t famous enough. D. The director recommended someone else. 45. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship? A. They were of the same age. B. They worked in the same theater. C. They were both good actors. D. They have similar characteristics. 46. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Their success. B. Their care for children. C Their belief. D. Their support for each other. 47. What is the author’s purpose in writing the test? A. To remember a friend. B. To show his love of films. C. To introduce a new movie. D. To share his acting experience. 48. What have you learned from the last paragraph? A. They didn’t like to talk with each other. B. They knew each other very well. C. They were not afraid of death. D. They were both seriously ill.
