B When I was about halfway between twenty and thirty, I lived in a large, run-down house that other people thought was romantic. The door to my bedroom was at least twelve feet tall. So I fixed a coatrack(衣帽架) over the top, and whenever I needed to get a jacket, or a towel, I stood on my desk chair to get them, swinging uncertainly. There were six of us in the house. We were all about the same age. Two boys lived on the top floor and three lived in the basement. As the only girl, I was aware of being surrounded by shirtless boys, which is embarrassing especially in summer. One hot afternoon, I wrote a long e-mail to my high-school English teacher, because I remembered him as handsome in a remote way. He wore expensive clothes and took an understated pleasure in saying inspiring things. I calculated that the English teacher was about forty, and then I pressed Send. The e-mail covered a lot of ground. I summarized what I called “my college experience”. Toward the end of the e-mail, I found myself saying that I couldn’t understand why I still needed to struggle in my college life. When the English teacher wrote back, I was unexpected. In his response to my e-mail, he mentioned some stories about those who dropped out of school and their lives were hard for me to imagine. With tears in my eyes, I decided to keep on trying even if I was not in a famous university. I believe as long as I am determined enough, I can make my life better in the future. 4. According to the passage, what does the writer think of her living environment? A. Inconvenient. B. Romantic. C. Funny. D. Boring. 5. What can we infer from the passage? A. The children were of complete different age. B. Her teacher has a positive influence on her. C. There are some boys and girls sharing the room together. D.

Outgoing and respected D. Caring and courageous 7. What does the author want to share in the article? A. Communication is the key to success. B. When we are trapped in difficulty, we can ask others for help. C. We are supposed to be admitted to a famous university. D. As long as we have determination, we can make it one day. C Scientists have long thought about whether each animal species has a different language, much like different human languages that we cannot understand. Language experts agree on the fact that the way animals communicate through various calls which are not like human languages. Animal calls are not considered as a language because the calls are limited to information related to food activities, warning about the presence of enemies and so on. They haven't the characteristics that all human languages have. That is because humans create new expressions every day by connecting different words. However, animal calls have unchanged meanings. Anyway, animals do communicate. People who study humans believe that people speak with their whole bodies. To express a message, one does not always need words. Have you ever shared a private joke with your friends across the table？All you did was to give them a self-satisfied smile. Animals can communicate in much the same way as humans do. Although animals do not have the ability to speak words, they can use other methods, such as movements, calls and their sense of smell. In short, most of their communication is not related with speech. If animals can make noises, why can't they talk？Humans and animals both have the necessary organs that produce sounds, such as lungs, throat, voice box, lips and tongue. However, human organs are fully developed, which makes it possible for us humans to speak. 8. What do we know about animal calls and human languages？ ________ A. Animal calls can express richer meanings. B. Animal calls are made only in dangerous situations. C. Human languages are more creative and changeable. D. Both of them can express the same meanings. 9. Animals can communicate by ________ . A. movement B. language C. speech D. writing 10 Why do animals fail to speak according to the last paragraph？ ________ A. They don't need to communicate by speaking. B. They haven't the necessary organs to produce sounds. C. Their language-related organs aren't fully developed. D. Their throats and lips are too wide to speak. 11. What can be the best title for the text？ ________ A. Why Can Humans Speak？ B. Are Lungs Necessary to Speak？ C. Why Humans Can't Understand Animal Calls？ D. Are Animal Calls a Language Humans Don't Understand？ D Short stories for kids can provide them with a lot of fun and entertainment and also teach them the important values of life. There are some popular short stories around the world, For example, The Ugly Duckling, written by Hans Christian Anderson, which is based on the change of an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan, is one of the most inspiring short stories for children. Then there is The Boy Who Cried Wolf, a classic Aesop’s fable which shows kids the importance of always telling the truth. Little Red Riding Hood, which is written by the Brothers Grimm, tells kids about a strong and brave girl called Little Red Riding Hood and how she fights with an evil wolf to save her grandmother. Here are some examples of different types of short stories. Ghost stories can be really entertaining and most kids enjoy them. While telling such kinds of stories, you should raise and lower your voice properly and make expressions suitable to what is happening in the story. Historical stories can help children understand the lives of great leaders and heroes of the past. This will not only help show useful values to children, but also help them perform better in the subject of history. In stories related to nature, you would be describing famous rivers, mountains and seas. Tell kids what nature has given us and how we should protect it for our own good. Short stories not only keep kids entertained, but they also help to develop their sense of imagination and creative way of thinking.

What’s your resolution (决心要做的事) for the next twelve months?” Jimmy’s sister, Julia, spoke first. “I want to get an A in math. I’m going to practice my flashcards every day.” Julia poured syrup (糖浆) on her pancakes and began to eat. “What about you Jimmy? What’s your big goal for the year? ” Jimmy thought about it. He had never made a New Year’s resolution before. “Does a resolution have to be about school? ” he asked. Dad smiled, “No, Jimmy. A resolution can be about anything you want. It’s just a promise you make to yourself to try to do something in the future. ” Hearing that, Jimmy sat and thought. He was already good at math. He wasn't sure he wanted to make a promise about doing extra homework. He would like to be better at baseball and hit a home run in the summer. It would be hard, though, to practice baseball in the winter when there was snow on the ground. “I'll have to think about it, ” Jimmy said. Then he went back to his room. He did his best thinking on his bed, but he had to step over all of his toy trucks and a few dirty socks to get there. He also had to move his comic books and stuffed animals off of his bed before he could sit down. Jimmy looked around his room. It was pretty messy. He would have to clean it up before he could have friends over on Sunday. It usually took all day Saturday to clean up. That meant Jimmy couldn't play until he was finished. “That’s it! ” Jimmy cried. “I’ll clean my room every Friday right after school. Dad will be happy, and I will be able to play all weekend. ” Jimmy smiled. He was happy that he found a resolution that would make his New Year much better than the past year. Paragraph one: The following Friday arrived, and Jimmy remembered his resolution. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph two: From then on Jimmy never forgot the resolution, resulting in changes and benefits even beyond cleaning. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 创新学校2025年上学期高一期中考试 英语 时量：120分钟 分值：150分 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) 每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章表明动物的叫声不被认为是一种语言，并分析了原因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“That is because humans create new expressions every day by connecting different words. However, animal calls have unchanged meanings.”（这是因为人类每天通过连接不同的单词来创造新的表达方式。然而，动物的叫声有不变的意义。）可知，人类的语言更具创造性和可变性。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段倒第二句“Although animals do not have the ability to speak words, they can use other methods, such as movements, calls and their sense of smell. ”（虽然动物没有说话的能力，他们可以使用其他的方法，如动作，呼叫和他们的嗅觉。）可知，动物可以通过动作进行交流。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“Humans and animals both have the necessary organs that produce sounds, such as lungs, throat, voice box, lips and tongue. However, human organs are fully developed, which makes it possible for us humans to speak.”（人和动物都有产生声音的必要器官，如肺、喉咙、喉头、嘴唇和舌头。然而，人类的器官已经发育完全，这使得我们人类能够说话。）可知，动物与语言相关的器官没有完全发育，所以它们不能说话。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“Scientists have long thought about whether each animal species has a different language, much like different human languages that we cannot understand. ”（科学家们长期以来一直在思考，是否每种动物都有不同的语言，就像我们无法理解的不同人类语言一样。）可知，第一段中提出问题：动物的叫声是否是人类听不懂的语言？根据第二段第一句“Animal calls are not considered as a language because the calls are limited to information related to food activities, warning about the presence of enemies and so on.”（动物的叫声不被认为是一种语言，因为这种叫声仅限于与食物活动有关的信息，警告敌人的存在等等。）可知，文章接下来对此问题进行了回答，并分析了原因。所以选项D（动物的叫声是人类无法理解的语言吗?）是最好的标题。故选D。 D Short stories for kids can provide them with a lot of fun and entertainment and also teach them the important values of life. There are some popular short stories around the world, For example, The Ugly Duckling, written by Hans Christian Anderson, which is based on the change of an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan, is one of the most inspiring short stories for children. Then there is The Boy Who Cried Wolf, a classic Aesop’s fable which shows kids the importance of always telling the truth.

Here are some examples of different types of short stories. Ghost stories can be really entertaining and most kids enjoy them. While telling such kinds of stories you should raise and lower your voice properly and make expressions suitable to what is happening in the story. Historical stories can help children understand the lives of great leaders and heroes of the past. This will not only help show useful values to children, but also help them perform better in the subject of history. In stories related to nature, you would be describing famous rivers, mountains and seas. Tell kids what nature has given us and how we should protect it for our own good. Short stories not only keep kids entertained, but they also help to develop their sense of imagination and creative way of thinking. You can also make up some short stories of your own and spend some quality time with your kids. 12. What can we learn from Para.2? A. The Ugly Duckling tells us about a strong and brave girl. B.

What’s your resolution (决心要做的事) for the next twelve months?” Jimmy’s sister, Julia, spoke first. “I want to get an A in math. I’m going to practice my flashcards every day.” Julia poured syrup (糖浆) on her pancakes and began to eat. “What about you, Jimmy? What’s your big goal for the year? ” Jimmy thought about it. He had never made a New Year’s resolution before. “Does a resolution have to be about school? ” he asked. Dad smiled, “No, Jimmy. A resolution can be about anything you want. It’s just a promise you make to yourself to try to do something in the future. ” Hearing that, Jimmy sat and thought. He was already good at math. He wasn't sure he wanted to make a promise about doing extra homework. He would like to be better at baseball and hit a home run in the summer. It would be hard, though, to practice baseball in the winter when there was snow on the ground. “I'll have to think about it, ” Jimmy said. Then he went back to his room. He did his best thinking on his bed, but he had to step over all of his toy trucks and a few dirty socks to get there. He also had to move his comic books and stuffed animals off of his bed before he could sit down. Jimmy looked around his room. It was pretty messy. He would have to clean it up before he could have friends over on Sunday. It usually took all day Saturday to clean up. That meant Jimmy couldn't play until he was finished. “That’s it! ” Jimmy cried. “I’ll clean my room every Friday right after school. Dad will be happy, and I will be able to play all weekend. ” Jimmy smiled. He was happy that he found a resolution that would make his New Year much better than the past year. Paragraph one: The following Friday arrived, and Jimmy remembered his resolution. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph two: From then on Jimmy never forgot the resolution, resulting in changes and benefits even beyond cleaning. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The following Friday arrived, and Jimmy remembered his resolution. As soon as he got home from school, he put his backpack down and started cleaning his room. He picked up his toys, organized his comic books, and even folded his clothes. It was hard work, but he felt proud when he finished. His dad noticed the clean room and smiled, “Great job, Jimmy!” That evening, Jimmy felt relaxed knowing he had the whole weekend free to play. From then on Jimmy never forgot the resolution, resulting in changes and benefits even beyond cleaning. He found that keeping his room tidy helped him stay organized with his homework and school projects. His friends also started complimenting his neat room when they visited. Jimmy realized that small, consistent efforts could make a big difference. By sticking to his resolution, he not only improved his habits but also gained more time and energy for the things he loved. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Jimmy在新年伊始决定每周五放学后打扫房间，并因此带来了一系列积极变化的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“第二个星期五到了，吉米想起了他的决心。”可知，第一段可描写Jimmy如何履行他的决心，即他放学后开始打扫房间的具体行动，以及打扫完成后的感受和父亲的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那时起，吉米再也没有忘记这个决心，甚至在清洁之外也带来了变化和好处。”可知，第二段可描写Jimmy坚持这一决心后所带来的长远影响，包括他在学习和生活方面的积极变化，以及他从中获得的感悟。 2.段落续写：Jimmy记得决心——开始打扫房间——房间变得整洁——父亲表扬——习惯带来其他方面的变化——Jimmy的感悟和成长 3.词汇积累 行为类 ①打扫：clean/tide up/sweep ②放下：put down/place down ③坚持：stick to/insist on/cling to 情绪类 ①感到骄傲：feel proud/have a sense of pride ②感到放松：feel relaxed/feel at ease 【点睛】【高分句型1】As soon as he got home from school, he put his backpack down and started cleaning his room.
