Actually, staying up late is a bad habit, which has negative effects on our physical and mental health. To begin with, it will not only lead to a lack of energy but also cause us to suffer from dizziness and be unable to concentrate on our lessons.Additionally,long-time staying up late will weaken our memory, and do harm to eyesight as well as liver. What's worse, those who are accustomed to staying up late are more likely to suffer from other diseases. Therefore, it's high time that we made up our minds to adopt a healthy lifestyle. 第二节（满分25分） When Grandpa returned and came in, he looked surprised when he saw the broken mirror. “What happened?” he asked. I looked away and made up a story about Steve being too playful. With my face burning, I told Grandpa, “Steve got too excited. He knocked over the mirror, and, well, the mirror broke.” Hearing this, Grandpa didn’t say anything, but his eyes showed a mix of doubt and disappointment. Grandpa cleaned up the mess and then he went to the kitchen to prepare the vegetable soup. I breathed a huge sigh of relief for I thought maybe the truth was hidden by the made-up story. At dinner, the joy of having Grandpa’s vegetable soup was now mixed with regret. Finally unable to bear the weight of dishonesty, with tears welling up in my eyes, I confessed, “Grandpa, it was my fault. Steve had nothing to do with the broken mirror.” Unexpectedly, Grandpa patted me on the shoulder and smiled gently, “I understand your situation, dear. But being honest is more important! You made the right choice just now.” At that moment, with the smell of soup in the air, I learned a big lesson about telling the truth. The countryside, with its wide fields and timeless lessons, became part of my memorable experience that stayed in my heart for a long time. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025年度第二学期 惠来一中高二级第一次阶段考英语试卷 时间：120分钟，满分130分 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 （共11小题；每小题2.5分，满分27.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A The following 4 famous paintings — from Jan van Eyck's portrait to Pablo Picasso's masterpiece — have stood the test of time. The Amolfini Portrait Jan van Eyck’s Amolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck's heavy use of symbolism — while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties. The Starry Night Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas (帆布), a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint–Remy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modem Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works. The Harvesters The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It describes the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919. Guernica Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title 'Guernica' refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid. 1. Which of the following paintings was produced earliest? A. Guernica. B. The Harvesters. C. The Starry Night. D. The Amolfini Portrait. 2. Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons? A. Pieter Bruegel the Elder. B. Vincent van Gogh. C. Jan van Eyck. D. Pablo Picasso. 3. What do we know about the paintingThe Starry Night? A. It was painted on wood in oils. B. It described the painter's life in hospital. C. It wasn't widely recognized before 1941. D. It was given away to the museum by a collector. B Mikah Frye, a 9-year-old boy, was walking down the streets with his grandmother discussing Christmas gifts when he saw some homeless people struggling to stay warm in the cold night. Then he was thinking about a way to help the homeless to spend a warm Christmas. That thought stayed in Mikah Frye's mind and when he reached home, Mikah informed his parents not to buy the Microsoft XBox gaming device he had asked for earlier. Mikah realized that by not buying the $300 device, he could instead donate over 30 blankets to the homeless. He knew how much it meant to be warm in the cold holiday season. Three years ago, Mikah and his parents were the ones living in a homeless shelter. Having suffered a financial crisis, they too had lost their house, not knowing where their next meal would come from and sharing a blanket every night. Mikah was six years old then but he remembered what it was like to have to give back that precious blanket every morning. Reaching out to the emergency shelter programme that looked after them 3 years ago, the family donated 60 blankets in the end, each with a personalized message of hope in Mikah's handwriting stating: "They gave me a blanket, but I had to leave it. That's why I want you to have your own blanket. Today, I live in my own house, and someday you will too. Your friend, Mikah." The homeless people at the shelter may not have been able to give Mikah a Christmas gift in return but his gesture was noted by the billion dollar company Microsoft who made sure that Mikah was fooled into visiting their store so that Santa Claus could personally deliver an XBox from the company to him as a reward for making the top of "Santa's list of nice boys" that year. 4. Why did Mikah give up his Christmas gift? A．The device was out of date. B．His parents had a tight budget. C．He wanted to spend a warm Christmas. D．He decided to do something warm. 5. What made Mikah have a better understanding of the situation of the homeless? A．His own experience. B．His parents' education. C．His visiting to the emergency shelter. D．The cold weather during the holiday season. 6. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. The homeless gave Mikah a gift in return. B. He finally got the gift he wanted on Christmas. C. The company Microsoft fooled Mikah into buying an Xbox. D．Mikah wrote a thank-you note to the emergency shelter he lived in. 7. What might be the best title for the text? A．Mikah's Precious Christmas Gift B．Mikah's Giving Warmth on Christmas C．Microsoft Rewarded Nice Boys on Santa's List D．The Homeless Needed Blankets on a Cold Christmas C In a groundbreaking discovery, bumblebees (大黄蜂) have shown a previously unseen level of cognitive (认知的) ability. A new study, published in Nature, shows that they can learn difficult, multi-step tasks through social interaction, even if they cannot figure them out on their own. Led by Dr Alice Bridges and Professor Lars Chittka, the research team designed a two-step puzzle (谜题) box requiring bumblebees to perform two separated actions to get a sweet reward at the end. Training bees to do this was no easy task, and bees had to be helped along by the addition of an extra reward at the end of the first step. This reward in the middle was finally taken away, and bees later had to open the whole box before getting their treat. Then some trained bees repeated the whole process for demonstration. Surprisingly, while bees that worked on their own had great difficulty in solving the puzzle, those allowed to watch a demonstrator bee finished the two steps easily — even the first — while only getting a reward at the end. This study shows that bumblebees have a level of social learning previously thought to be unique to humans. They can share and learn behaviors that are beyond their individual cognitive abilities. Professor Chittka further notes the implications, “This challenges the traditional view that only humans can socially learn difficult behavior beyond individual learning. It raises the amazing possibility that many of the greatest achievements of the social insects, like the nesting architectures of bees or the agricultural habits of ants, may have initially spread by copying clever innovators, before they finally became part of the species-specific behaviors.” This groundbreaking research opens new possibilities for understanding animal intelligence and the development of social learning. It challenges longstanding assumptions and helps us learn more about the cognitive wonders of insects, even suggesting the exciting possibility of advanced culture among seemingly simple creatures. 8. What is the purpose of the study? A. To learn how to train bumblebees. B. To compare bumblebees with ants. C. To develop puzzles for bumblebees. D. To test cognitive abilities of bumblebees. 9. How did the researchers train the bumblebees to solve the puzzle? A. By breaking it into two steps. B. By providing an extra reward. C. By demonstrating the process. D. By making the puzzle interesting. 10. What do Professor Chittka’s words imply? A. Both bees and ants are intelligent creatures. B. Only humans are capable of social learning. C. Individual learning may not be that important. D. Bees’ nest-building may be a learned behavior. 11. What could be the best title for the text? A. Bumblebees — willing learners B. Bumblebees — smarter than you think C. Social learning — intelligence indicator D. Social learning — universal across species 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。 Gear guide—buying a backpack A quick glance through my outdoor trade directory reveals 49 companies that sell or make backpacks. If they all produce ten backpacks then we have a frightening number for the humble beginner to choose from. 12 The first and most vital consideration is your anticipated load. If you have short summer evening walks then a small backpack would be fine, but if your walks are day-long and year-round then your pack will need to be bigger. Mine typically contains packed lunch, waterproofs, clothing I’ve taken off during the day, a first aid kit and an emergency shelter. Sometimes in winter I add a sleeping bag and a torch. 13 My current backpack is a Crag-hopper AD30(30 litres)which is just big enough. Admittedly I do often lead walking parties in remote places so perhaps my added responsibilities cause me to carry more. Compare my list with yours to see if you need as much carrying space. 14 Choose a light pack, but make sure it can take the weight of what you are carrying and it can support the load comfortably on your back. Today you can get quite technically advanced backpacks: advanced fabrics, a variety of side pockets, internal frames, adjustable belts, and clever systems to keep your back cool. You also need to look inside. It may seem obvious, but you should choose a backpack that allows you easy access. 15 It’s also important to choose a backpack that fits the length of your back. Being six feet I need a long, thin one rather than a short, wider one. If I use the latter, I’ ll have a hip belt round my stomach! 16 Obviously you can’t see it when it’s on your back, but why buy something that won’t look good on you? After all, there’s no shortage of colors or designs to choose from. A．I need a backpack with a reasonable capacity（容量）. B．Undoubtedly we won’t ignore the look of the pack. C．A wide variety of functions are offered to customers. D．It is recommended that you consider weight and features. E．Some have narrow necks that make removing large items difficult. F．So consider your own needs before you set foot in an outdoor shop. G．A cool pack can provide an enjoyable and comfortable hiking trip for you. 第二部分 语言运用（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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On the surface, Vienna Cammarota is a simple grandmother in her Italian hometown.

I was looking forward to seeing Grandpa and playing with my best friend, Steve, his smart dog. Life in the countryside was great. I enjoyed Grandpa’s tasty vegetable soup and had a lot of fun playing with Steve. We explored the woods, chased (追逐) birds, and tried fishing by the stream, laughing all the while. One day, Grandpa went to the farm to get fresh pumpkins and tomatoes for a big dinner. While waiting for him to come back, I felt a bit bored. “Steve, let’s have some fun!” I declared, and with a wag (摇摆) of his tail, he excitedly agreed. Our game of hide-and-seek filled the house with laughter. “You can’t catch me!” I laughed, hiding and running away from Steve. But Steve was so smart that he could always find me, whether in the bedroom or the cupboard. However, while we were having fun, something unexpected happened. Suddenly there was a loud crash in the living room, breaking the calm like a stone disturbing a quiet pond. It turned out that I accidentally knocked over a mirror while playing. The mirror, once neat and pretty on the table, was now broken pieces on the floor because of our playful game. My heart pounded as I looked at the mess. The wind blew through the open window, making the curtains waving in the wind, which upset me even more. I didn’t know what to do with the broken mirror. Should I tell Grandpa or try to hide what had happened? I thought about it, and Steve lowered his ears. It seemed that he also realized that we had made a huge mistake. “What should we do, Steve?” I asked quietly, trying to find comfort. It was a tough decision, and I felt really guilty. Admitting the mistake seemed hard. Suddenly I had an idea — maybe I could put the blame on Steve alone. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When Grandpa returned and came in, he looked surprised when he saw the broken mirror. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At dinner, the joy of having Grandpa’s vegetable soup was now mixed with regret. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ( 第 1 页 共 2 页 )高二英语试卷 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
