He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children’s hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the perfect job for him. He ended up working with the seriously ill children. He would talk, play, and do arts with them. One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed (瘫痪) her from the neck down. She couldn’t do anything, and she was very depressed. My dad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn’t use his hands at all. All the while he would tell her, “See, you can do anything you set your mind to.”At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. My dad also left the children’s hospital for a little while because he became ill. Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, in came the little girl who had been paralyzed and only this time she was walking. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: “Thank you for helping me walk.” My dad would cry every time he told us this story and so would we. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctor, and my dad—who died just a few months after the little girl gave the picture—loved every single child in that hospital. 4. The author’s father worked at the local hospital to_______________. A. make his serious heart condition less serious B. keep himself occupied and pleased C. realize his childhood dream D. earn money to pay for treatment 5 How did the author’s father help the paralyzed little girl?

Love can sometimes bring great results. C In a world where environmental concerns are at the forefront, a young and innovative student has made a significant mark. Madison Checketts, during her leisurely walks along her favourite beach in California, US, was met with a frustrating sight. The once-beautiful shoreline was now packed with wasted plastic water bottles, a cruel reminder of the global plastic pollution crisis. For Madison, who held this beach dear to her heart, seeing it ruined by these non-biodegradable items was deeply upset. The astonishing statistic that Americans cast away 60 million plastic bottles daily, with many of them ultimately ending up in landfills or the vast ocean, was a call to action she couldn’t ignore. Driven by a strong sense-of responsibility, Madison headed home and immediately set to work on seeking an eco-friendly solution. She named her creative water bottle the Eco-Hero. The magic behind this unique water bottle lies in its material calcium lactate (乳酸钙), a chemical compound. When processed, it undergoes a fascinating transformation from a soft material into a solid, edible shell. This not only makes the Eco-Hero an environmentally friendly option, as it is biodegradable and can break down naturally over time, but also offers a novel and enjoyable experience. The bottle has a delicate sweet flavour, which even gives the water inside a subtle sweet taste. Madison’s remarkable invention has rightfully earned her a spot in the final of a renowned Us science competition for young people. Beyond the prizes, she has a far-reaching aspiration. She hopes that her Eco-Hero will serve as a motivation, inspiring countless other young student to take steps, no matter how small, towards making the world a more sustainable and beautiful place. 8. What made Madison Checketts decide to create the Eco-Hero? A. The drive to protect her favourite beach. B. The high prize of the science competition. C. The dream of becoming a famous inventor. D. The cruel statistics of the global plastic pollution. 9. What can we infer from the passage about the Eco-Hero? A. It will replace traditional plastic bottles soon. B. It is good for the environment and interesting. C. It is more expensive than ordinary plastic bottles. D. It has a strong sweet flavor that people may dislike 10. What can we know about Madison’s participation in the science competition? A. She’ll profit a lot from the competition. B. Her school strongly supported her invention. C. All finalists focus on plastic-related solutions. D. The competition values environmental inventions. 11. Which of the following could best describe Madison Checketts? A. Adaptable and cautious. B. Ambitious and competitive. C. Imaginative and responsible. D. Detail-oriented and persistent. D Students and Technology in the Classroom I love my blackberry (黑莓手机) — it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices (设备) and truly communicate with others. On one occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule-no laptops, IPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy. Most students think that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students think that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students. The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration (专心) and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course material and the class discussion. I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom. I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a rally good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up. 12. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with ______. A. the course material B. others’ misuse of technology C. discussion topics D. the author’s class rules 13. The underlined word “engage” in para.4 probably means ______. A. explore B. accept C. change D. refuse 14. According to the author the use of technology in the classroom may ______. A. keep students from doing independent thinking B. encourage students to have deep conversations C. help students to better understand difficult themes D. affect students’ concentration on the teacher’s ideas 15. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ______. A. is quite stubborn in teaching B. will give up teaching history C. will change his teaching plan soon D. values technology-free dialogues in his class 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。 How to listen in English exams Listening is an important but difficult part for middle school students in English exams.

She took a deep bow and was given thundering applause. I, too, gave applause. I was happy for my friend. Well, I was pretending to be happy for her. Deep down inside, I was rather feeling envious of Asta. She was always the one who makes speeches, debates and tells stories to others. Me? No! I had stage fright and was always the shy, quiet one who was never courageous to speak in front of others. I had never managed to do a presentation without stammering(结巴). Every time I saw someone making a speech, I would imagine myself in his or her place, receiving the applause and praise. I was walking to the canteen with Asta. She, as usual, was looking at the script. She had been chosen to be the presenter for the National Day Celebration. I sighed to myself. Why could I not be like her, always loud and brave? If only there was a way to prove myself... Just then, I caught a glimpse of a poster on the noticeboard. “Minute to say it?” I read the poster out loud. It was a competition where one has to prepare a speech about a particular topic and summarize it on the stage within one minute. This could be my big chance to overcome my stage fright! And the best part was, if I won the competition, I would receive a mini-trophy (小奖杯). Without thinking twice, I grabbed a form and filled in it. I took a seat in the canteen with Asta and told her what I had done, after which she said that she had also signed up for the competition. Suddenly, regret hit me like a 20-pound hammer. I was competing against Asta who was the best speaker in the school! I was bound to lose! Why was I so ill-fated? I just wanted a chance to prove myself that I could overcome my stage fright. 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。 The big day finally arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Next, it was Asta’s turn. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 肇庆市第六中学2024-2025学年第二学期期中质量检测 高二英语 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Are you interested in how marine (海洋的) ecosystems work?

The once-beautiful shoreline was now packed with wasted plastic water bottles, a cruel reminder of the global plastic pollution crisis. For Madison, who held this beach dear to her heart, seeing it ruined by these non-biodegradable items was deeply upset. (Madison Checketts在美国加利福尼亚州她最喜欢的海滩上悠闲漫步时，看到了令人沮丧的一幕。曾经美丽的海岸线如今堆满了废弃的塑料水瓶，这残酷地提醒着人们全球塑料污染危机的存在。对于视这片海滩为心头所爱的麦迪逊来说，看到它被这些不可生物降解的物品破坏，内心深感不安)”以及第三段“The astonishing statistic that Americans cast away 60 million plastic bottles daily, with many of them ultimately ending up in landfills or the vast ocean, was a call to action she couldn’t ignore.

(在强烈的责任感驱使下，麦迪逊回到家，立即着手寻找一种环保的解决方案)”可知，麦迪逊非常珍视她最喜欢的这片海滩，看到海滩被不可降解的塑料瓶破坏让她很沮丧，所以保护这片她喜爱的海滩的动力促使她决定创造“Eco-Hero”水瓶。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段中“This not only makes the Eco-Hero an environmentally friendly option, as it is biodegradable and can break down naturally over time, but also offers a novel and enjoyable experience. The bottle has a delicate sweet flavour, which even gives the water inside a subtle sweet taste. (这不仅使“Eco-Hero”成为一种环保的选择，因为它可生物降解，能随着时间自然分解，而且还带来了一种新颖有趣的体验。这种瓶子带有淡淡的甜味，甚至能让瓶中的水也有一丝微妙的甜味)”可知，Eco-Hero对环境有益且有趣。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“Madison’s remarkable invention has rightfully earned her a spot in the final of a renowned Us science competition for young people. (麦迪逊的非凡发明理所当然地为她赢得了美国一项著名青少年科学竞赛决赛的参赛资格)”以及前文Madison Checketts发明环保水瓶Eco-Hero的过程，可知这个竞赛重视环保发明。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段中“Driven by a strong sense-of responsibility, Madison headed home and immediately set to work on seeking an eco-friendly solution. She named her creative water bottle the Eco-Hero. The magic behind this unique water bottle lies in its material calcium lactate (乳酸钙), a chemical compound. When processed, it undergoes a fascinating transformation from a soft material into a solid, edible shell. This not only makes the Eco-Hero an environmentally friendly option, as it is biodegradable and can break down naturally over time, but also offers a novel and enjoyable experience. The bottle has a delicate sweet flavour, which even gives the water inside a subtle sweet taste. (在强烈的责任感驱使下，麦迪逊回到家，立即着手寻找一种环保的解决方案。她将自己富有创意的水瓶命名为“Eco-Hero”。这款独特水瓶的神奇之处在于其材质——乳酸钙，一种化合物。经过加工后，它会经历从柔软材料到坚硬、可食用外壳的奇妙转变。这不仅使“Eco-Hero”成为一种环保的选择，因为它可生物降解，能随着时间自然分解，而且还带来了一种新颖有趣的体验。这种瓶子带有淡淡的甜味，甚至能让瓶中的水也有一丝微妙的甜味。)”以及最后一段中“She hopes that her Eco-Hero will serve as a motivation, inspiring countless other young student to take steps, no matter how small, towards making the world a more sustainable and beautiful place. (她希望自己的“Eco-Hero”水瓶能成为一种激励，鼓舞无数其他年轻学生采取行动，无论这些行动多么微小，都朝着让世界变得更可持续、更美好的方向努力)”可知，Madison富有责任感和想象力。故选C。 D Students and Technology in the Classroom I love my blackberry (黑莓手机) — it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices (设备) and truly communicate with others. On one occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule-no laptops, IPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy. Most students think that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students think that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students. The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration (专心) and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course material and the class discussion. I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom. I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a rally good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up. 12. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with ______. A. the course material B. others’ misuse of technology C. discussion topics D. the author’s class rules 13. The underlined word “engage” in para.4 probably means ______. A. explore B. accept C. change D. refuse 14. According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ______. A. keep students from doing independent thinking B. encourage students to have deep conversations C. help students to better understand difficult themes D. affect students’ concentration on the teacher’s ideas 15. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ______. A. is quite stubborn in teaching B. will give up teaching history C. will change his teaching plan soon D. values technology-free dialogues in his class 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章论述的主题是“students and technology”，文章以教师的口吻谈到不允许学生在课堂上玩ipad、手机等通讯工具是因为technology会影响深入交流和学生独立思考的能力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule-no laptops, IPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy. (因为我想让学生们在课堂上深入地学习材料，互相交流思想，所以我有一个规定——不要使用笔记本电脑、ipad、手机等。当学生们在上课前被告知我的规定时，他们中的一些人很不高兴)”可知，在历史课上学生们不开心是因为作者的班规——不能使用电子产品。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations(我认为很少有地方可以让我们进行深入的对话)”和and可知，“engage complex ideas”和上文“have deep conversations”并列，指探索复杂的想法。由此可知，engage意为“探索”，与explore同义。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Interruptions by technology often break concentration (专心) and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course material and the class discussion. (技术的干扰往往会分散注意力，使想法过于依赖外部信息。我希望学生们能深入挖掘自己的灵感和想法。我希望他们以不同的方式互相思考，并在课程材料和课堂讨论之间建立联系。)”可知，作者认为在课堂上使用科技产品有碍于学生的独立思考。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up. (几个小时的不受科技产品打扰的自由对话太棒了，不能放弃)”推知，作者非常重视课堂上没有科技产品的对话。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。 How to listen in English exams Listening is an important but difficult part for middle school students in English exams.

She took a deep bow and was given thundering applause. I, too, gave applause. I was happy for my friend. Well, I was pretending to be happy for her. Deep down inside, I was rather feeling envious of Asta. She was always the one who makes speeches, debates and tells stories to others. Me? No! I had stage fright and was always the shy, quiet one who was never courageous to speak in front of others. I had never managed to do a presentation without stammering(结巴). Every time I saw someone making a speech, I would imagine myself in his or her place, receiving the applause and praise. I was walking to the canteen with Asta. She, as usual, was looking at the script. She had been chosen to be the presenter for the National Day Celebration. I sighed to myself. Why could I not be like her, always loud and brave? If only there was a way to prove myself... Just then, I caught a glimpse of a poster on the noticeboard. “Minute to say it?” I read the poster out loud. It was a competition where one has to prepare a speech about a particular topic and summarize it on the stage within one minute. This could be my big chance to overcome my stage fright! And the best part was, if I won the competition, I would receive a mini-trophy (小奖杯). Without thinking twice, I grabbed a form and filled in it. I took a seat in the canteen with Asta and told her what I had done, after which she said that she had also signed up for the competition. Suddenly, regret hit me like a 20-pound hammer. I was competing against Asta who was the best speaker in the school! I was bound to lose! Why was I so ill-fated? I just wanted a chance to prove myself that I could overcome my stage fright. 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。 The big day finally arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Next, it was Asta’s turn. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The big day finally arrived. Many students were backstage, all nervous and anxious. Time seemed to pass very quickly as the first few contestants made their way to the stage. Soon enough, it was my turn. As I walked up the stage unsteadily, my legs turned to jelly. “This… is…is… my…” I began. “No! No more stammering. I can do this!” I told myself. With forty seconds left, I went through the rest of my speech fluently. The moment the stopwatch clicked stop, I sighed a huge sigh of relief. Next, it was Asta’s turn. Her speech was so brilliant that even I was attracted! Later, at the prize ceremony, Asta was made champion while I got second place. Although I did not win the championship, I was more than happy to come in second. At least I had something to take home to show my parents. Hmmm… Come to think of it…Maybe overcoming my fear was not so bad after all. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者十分羡慕好友阿斯塔在公共场合能自信流利地演讲，而自己却会结巴，作者看到海报上有一场演讲比赛，觉得这是自己克服怯场的最好机会，想要证明自己，于是和阿斯塔一起报名参加了比赛，在比赛中作者克服了结巴，完成了演讲，阿斯塔获得第一，作者获得第二，但是她很开心，终于克服了怯场的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这一重大日子终于到来了。”可知，第一段可描写作者参加演讲，克服怯场。 ②由第二段首句内容“接下来，轮到阿斯塔了。”可知，第二段可描写阿斯塔演讲的经过和比赛结果及最终作者很高兴克服了怯场。 2.续写线索：比赛日到来——作者演讲——克服结巴——完成演讲——阿斯塔完美演讲——比赛结果——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走：walk/step/trod ②告诉/提醒：tell/remind 情绪类 ①放松：relief/easiness ②高兴：happy/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1].
